7 Recent Movies With Gaping Plotholes You Never Noticed

2. Suicide Squad: Captain Boomerang's Inexplicable Return

Suicide Squad dug many of its own plotholes in the editing room. Filler content was hacked way so overzealously that scenes essential to the story went with it.

Captain Boomerang is the biggest victim of this, as his 11th-hour return to the team makes sense without a sequence to justify it.

During that little bonding session inside the bar, the Captain seemingly cuts ties with the squad, only to do what boomerangs do best and come back for the final showdown with Enchantress and Incubus.

There's no explanation for the character's U-turn. He simply re-emerges alongside his teammates while they're taking part in a badass slow-motion walk into battle.

Somewhere on a messy cutting room floor is a scene that bridges these two events.
