One example is in Deep Impact. When the Biederman meteor strikes it is instantly succeeded by a massive shock wave, yet when we see the characters on the beach they are standing waiting for the approaching tidal wave. Of course, I am no scientist so it might be a plausible scenario.

If Laurie lives within walking distance of the Myers house…and Loomis can find the stolen car parked right down the street…that means the Doyle house has to be pretty close by. Why then does it take Annie and Laurie so long to drive there? They literally drive through downtown to get…a block away? Now…maybe they were just joyriding to get high…ok. But they start driving in broad daylight and arrive at night.
Also…Michael stole that mask before Laurie sees him out the window in class. But the alarm is still going off well after school while on their way to babysit. It stops for a well timed joke…but still…it had to be going off for several hours.

Maybe not so much of an inconsistency as much as it's an oversight.
In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones is walking through the jungle with 3 other guys. Over the course of the next few minutes, Jones loses all three guides and is forced to flee from a tribe of Hovitos chasing him. He escapes in a plane with a pilot, except there are only two seats.
Was the plan for Indiana to leave the guides in the jungle after retrieving the idol? If he and Jock flew there, then were the guides even needed? Did Jones pay them in advance? He obviously really didn't need any of them, as they were a complete detriment to his retrieval.

A little while back I stumbled onto the old Brendan Fraser movie Blast from the Past online. For those not familiar, Fraser plays a guy who was basically raised by his parents in an underground bomb shelter since the Cuban Missile Crisis and doesn't leave until the 90's where he promptly falls in love with Alicia Silverstone.
Early in the movie Fraser's characters father, played by Christopher Walken, leaves the shelter to get supplies and is so shocked by 90's Los Angeles that he has to flee back where he has some kind of attack and is bedridden for days. As the movie continues this is never followed up on and I guess the insinuation is that it was just some kind of panic attack. But we never see him seeking any kind of medical treatment so we don't know this. He could have some kind of serious heart problem going on and could keel over any second, yet nobody seems to care by the time the credits role.

In Anaconda there's a shot of a waterfall and the water is running backwards.
TV but in the early episodes of Walking Dead the zombies could run. I guess they figured it would be unbelievable and difficult to keep coming up with different ways for the humans to escape these speedy zombies so they just turned them into the usual slow moving ones you normally see in movies/TV.
I didn't realize until years later that in Terminator 2 John Connor is only supposed to be 9-10 years old. His best friend is clearly like 13-15. He's committing credit card fraud. He's riding motorbikes in busy LA like a seasoned pro. Just the way he looks, talks, acts. He's very clearly a teenager and for the longest time I thought that's what he was supposed to be.

Of course, I am no scientist so it might be a plausible scenario. Oddly enough, scientists praise Deep Impact for its accuracy with the comet fragment that actually strikes. It's the one that gets blown up that loses the movie points: blowing up a 500 billion ton comet in the outer atmosphere would transfer all that energy into the atmosphere, starting blanket wildfires all across the northern hemisphere. |

The biggest inconsistency in Deep Impact is why any movie studio would hire Tea Leoni.

I'm from Alberta, so believe me when I tell you, it's much, much, much easier to teach a high, drunken, high school dropout to be an astronaut than it is to teach a highly educated pilot how a f***ing drill works.

If Lightsabers apparently cauterize the cut, why in the very first film is there blood everywhere when a bloke gets his arm lopped off in the Cantina?

He obviously really didn't need any of them, as they were a complete detriment to his retrieval. Guides were locals. Jones knew Belloq was after the idol as well so once he was ready to go into the temple he radioed Jock and told him where to land and wait. Jones and the guides had hoofed it the entire way. |

Over time the zombies have to wear down. Fresh zombies run while the ones that have been dead for awhile start to get slow. And John Connor was raised his whole life like a survivalist nut job. Enriques compound were the kind of places he grew up. |

Vader detects Leia is his daughter during the duel with Luke-but not when the two of them meet in the first time. If I remember the novelisation correctly, Vader only senses Luke's feelings for Leia because Luke is feeling the pull of the Dark Side as a result of Palpatine's taunting and the fight with Vader, and is trying to use his love for his friends and his sister to resist it. When they meet earlier, he is calm, composed, and fully in control, thus Vader can't sense anything. |

This isn't that small of an inconsistency... but I hate how hyperspace travel in the Disney Sequel Star Wars Trilogy is now "we flew across the galaxy in 3 seconds". It breaks the universe.
Instead of prepping for journeys with supplies and planning Disney treats travel like "YOLO see you in 5 seconds bro"

That bloke was some weird butt-faced alien who's biology probably works different. Ok, So what about all those creatures on the planet at the end of Attack of the Clones? They don’t bleed, they’re not human! It’s almost as if Star Wars is massively inconsistent with the science! |

Or, different creatures from different planets have different biologies, some of which will cauterize, some of which will not. |

How did Mrs. Vorhees not know her son was alive? And how did he transport her head all the way to put it in the refrigerator in Part 2? Did he take the bus? And if she didn't know he was alive, how did he know that was her head to begin with?
