10 Movie "Plot Holes" You're Getting Completely Wrong

10. Jurassic Park - How Did The T-Rex Get Inside The Visitor Centre?

No movie is perfect, but Jurassic Park is about as close as it gets. A timeless classic with effects that still look stunning to this day, there are very few - if any - major problems people have with the film, but there is one small complaint that seems to rear its head again and again and again.

In one of the final scenes, Dr. Alan Grant, Dr. Ellie Sattler and the two kids are cornered in the island's visitor centre by a couple of hungry raptors. Fortunately though, they're saved by the mighty T-Rex, who pops up out of thin air like a magician and chomps one of the raptors on the backside.

So where did the big guy come from? And how did he just appear in the room all of a sudden?

It's not lazy movie-making that's to blame here: rather, if you look directly behind the T-Rex, you can see a white tarpaulin that's partially covering a huge gap in the wall. Now, in motion, this is quite easy to miss, but it would be big enough for the T-Rex to duck through in order to enter the visitor centre and save the day.

As for why nobody heard its loud footsteps... well, that's a different conversation.
