Plot Hole:Rambo’s leap of faith…..


15 feet out of that river and into the helicopter at the end. Unbelievable athleticism. But also major plot hole.

It’s not a plot hole, it’s over the top action which is consistent with what we see him do throughout the entire movie.

reply

You don’t think learning how to jump 15 feet out of a river and into a helicopter should have been explained by a training sequence or something? You probably think Water World had no plot holes.

reply

If something could be "explained by a training sequence or something" it is by definition not a plot hole

reply

Yeah so in water world when you see a bunch of sea pirates riding jet skis 300 years after earth has been covered in water, I guess you could include a scene showing them preserving the JetSki‘s on a ship for 300 years, which would remove the plot hole

I’ve never seen Waterworld (I have no reason because I hate Kevin Costner) but that doesn’t sound like a plot hole.

The point still remains: Someone having over the top abilities in a movie that is clearly over the top isn’t a plot hole.

Agreed

The helicopter is 1 foot above the water...

Who cares? Him shooting the helicopter's missiles and guns at the bad guys was awesome. Also you are a fool for expecting realism in an action movie.
