10 Gaping Plot Holes That Will Ruin Your Favorite Movies

7. Doug Survives Against All Odds - The Hangover

The Hangover shouldn't be taken seriously. Three men waking up in a hotel room with missing teeth, a tiger in the bathroom and a baby nicknamed Carlos isn't exactly Shakespearean drama, although that would have made English Literature way more fun in school. Plot holes hold the power to rip apart even the most absurd comedic story lines if the basic logic of the story can be unraveled and The Hangover is no exception. After a number of hilarious hi-jinks involving gangsters, naked Asian men and Mike Tyson, the gang finally realize that the missing groom they've been searching for was trapped on the roof of their hotel this whole time. Phil, Stu and Alan race back and find Doug sun burnt, but basically okay. While this turn of events neatly wraps up the story and allows a happy wedding finale to take place, it's hard to imagine that Doug would have survived without becoming seriously ill. Lying exposed with no shade on a Vegas rooftop in the middle of July would cause severe and possibly even fatal dehydration. That final scene could easily have been a funeral and not a wedding... Sucks the fun out of it all, right? Kind of like both sequels did to the franchise.
