20 Movies Destroyed By Their Plot Holes

It's been a good few years since Jordan Peele's sophomore feature, and now that the dust has settled, it's time for us all to admit it: Us is as dumb as a bag of hammers.

There are great things in it, but as a story, it contrasts with the tightly written genius of Get Out in the worst way imaginable. This story is an army of doppelgangers attacking the US, but it falls apart in the final act, mainly because the explanation for the phenomenon collapses if you think about it for even a minute.

So, the clones were part of an experiment that was long-since abandoned. Somehow, all of these millions of clones have been surviving in a network of miraculously clean underground tunnels for decades with nothing to eat but an apparently infinite supply of rabbit meat, and somehow, they've managed to organize a revolution even though they're unintelligent, mute, and have no method of long-range communication. 

Even the ending twist doesn't hold up so well now. It's revealed that protagonist Adelaide (Lupita Nyong'o) is a clone who escaped, and the apparent clone leading the revolution, Red (also Nyong'o), was the original Adelaide. At the time, that was a great shock, but that also makes less and less sense the more you think about it. Why didn't the original Adelaide just return to the surface? 

Sadly, Us was destroyed by its terrible third-act reveal, and it's an epitomizing example of how plot holes can kill a movie.
