12 Dumbest Movie Plot Twists Of 2017

8. Harry Is Saved By...Nanobots - Kingsman: The Golden Circle

The Twist: Harry Hart (Colin Firth) managed to survive being shot through the head in the first film because Statesman agents Ginger Ale (Halle Berry) and Tequila (Channing Tatum) quickly arrived on the scene and managed to administer a special "Alpha Gel" wrap to Harry's head, which prevented further trauma to his brain and repaired the damaged tissue, but also left him with retrograde amnesia.

Why It's Dumb: Bringing Firth's character back was always going to be tricky after he died so decisively in the original film, but like a lot of The Golden Circle's writing, this just felt lazy and overly daft.

It wasn't even knowingly dumb in a self-aware way, and left some fans wishing they'd just gone the whole stupid hog by giving Harry a twin brother instead. Lame.
