Seriously, I don't know how I never thought of it before. But this movie is the BIGGEST F---ING PLOT HOLE EVER! Like Seriously... I dont know how people didn't complain, or notice, or say ANYTHING about this before.

I mean its still a great movie and a hilarious movie, most of it. Atleast I found it really funny, but it has a MASSIVE PLOT HOLE in it. It needed SOMETHING like it , for Ron to hit rockbottom, but seriously...

When Ron doesn't make it to the newstation and they put veronica on instead, he is running the whole way there and he misses it and is late and its already done.
He came from the bridge where Baxter was punted off, that he DROVE to.. and got out of his CAR to talk to the guy.
So he ABANDONDED his car, and RAN instead of just DRIVING to the newstation?

Are the directors saying he was so emotionally over-whelmed by Baxter and the news of Veronica he completely forgot he had a car, and ran to the newstation?
I dont think so. If he was RUNNING and pushing people out of the way, he was obviously trying to get there as fast as he could. and his CAR.... need i say more really.

Ron wasn't the smartest guy ever

Not a plot hole. The reason it isn't is because plot holes are holes in the plot, not peoples decision making.
If everyone automatically made the most rational decision in every situation, then there would be no problems in the world, it just doesn't happen. People make choices, and Ron decided to run.

LIke a lot of other people, I just attripute it to his ridiculousness. Ron Burgandy doing things that make no sense makes sense.

That's not a plot hole.

that's the coronado bridge. depending on the time of day and what naval ships are in, this bridge has the worst traffic ever. i would have ran to downtown too.

I assumed Ron was distraught and frantic so in that sense he couldn't drive. Nothing whatsoever to do with a plothole. That would imply a glaring mistake - which it isn't.

After all that build up, THAT's your big "plot hole"?

Conform or be cast out

Going to jump on the bandwagon here and say
a) that's not a plot hole

as well as
b) if you're worried about plot holes watching Anchorman, you're watching the wrong film

I always just thought it was funny that he left his car. He's not a bright guy. I don't think they go out of their way to make sure the movie is reasonable. Other plot holes: where does the trident come from, how do all the news teams show up for the fight, how did Baxter survive, how do Ron and Veronica have sex on a rainbow, how does Ron fit a flute in his jacket?
