10 More Infamous Movie Plot-Holes (Solved By Fans)

10. Where Did The Cliff Come From? - Jurassic Park

The Plot Hole:

When the T-rex bursts through its paddock boundary to confront the heroes, a huge cliff suddenly appears that absolutely, positively wasn't there before. 

The vehicle that Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and co. were previously in is knocked over the edge of the cliff, yet the location of this drop seemed to be a totally flat part of the enclosure moments earlier. What gives?

The Solution:

Now to be fair, the precise layout of Isla Nublar in general is never made hugely clear, and from a spatial geography perspective it does look like the cliff materialises out of thin air when the plot needs it to exist.

However, earlier this year Redditor Specialist-Ad-5300 posted a diagram to the Jurassic Park subreddit which made a convincing argument of precisely how this all made sense.

Basically, the right-hand side of the enclosure has a small, delineated cliffside area where the vehicle could be pushed. 

Sure, you have to question why anyone would build an unguarded steep drop like that, but then again, that's pretty far down on the list of things wrong with John Hammond's (Richard Attenborough) park.
