10 Famous Movie Plot Holes (That Are NOT Plot Holes)

10. Where Did Amanda Go? - Taken

Taken revolves around a retired field agent/Irish bad-ass called Bryan Mills who travels to France after his daughter, Kim, and her friend, Amanda, were kidnapped there and sold to sex traffickers.

In the conclusion, Bryan manages to locate Kim at a sex trafficking auction and has her returned home safely. Despite the film receiving high praise from viewers, there was one plot point that kept being brought up. What happened to Kim's friend? Obviously, getting his daughter back safe and sound would be Bryan's top priority but it seems odd that he didn't attempt to track down Amanda, knowing she would suffer a grisly fate.

This is more of an oversight than a plothole but it is brought up so often, it needs to be addressed. Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed that Bryan DID locate Amanda. After Bryan kills the "Good Luck" guy at the safe house, he heads upstairs to find a group of drugged women and Amanda's body. Because Amanda's corpse is discoloured and she is only seen for a second, most viewers don't register it is Kim's friend and so, assume it's a total stranger.
