People hate plot holes in movies. At least, that's what they'll tell you. But sometimes, if a movie is awesome enough, people will overlook even the most retarded gaps in reason and logic. At least, until some asshole on the Internet points them out and makes a big list of them. Enjoy:

"We'll just fix that in post!" has always been the rallying cry for filmmakers in the middle of a troubled production. Unfortunately, sometimes things have a nasty habit of actually getting broken in post-production, usually thanks to studio interference.
To the gaping plot holes list I would add the movie The Usual Suspects:
When Kujan drops the coffee mug, Kobayashi is revealed suggesting that Verbal/Keyser Soze made up the name of the lawyer. However, here is part of the script from an earlier scene in the movie, where the FBI Agent Baer confirms that Kobayashi is actually the name of the lawyer:
Rabin and Jack Baer are in the hall. Rabin hands Kujan a thick manila folder. Kujan thumbs through it.
BAER
A boy came across a body on the beach this morning. Thrown clear when the boat burned. Shot once in the head. Two guys from the F.B.I. just identified him.KUJAN
And ?RABIN
His name was Arturo Marquez. A pettysmuggler out of Argentina. He was arrested in New York last year for trafficking. He escaped to California and got picked up in Long Beach. They were setting up his extradition when he escaped again. Get this - Edie Finneran was called in to advise the proceedings.
KUJAN
Kobayashi.Bear nods.
