How did we all miss these things the first time? There are certain gaping plot holes in movies that make you question larger aspects of the premise. Couldn't Rose have fit Jack onto that floating door? How did the Karate Kid win with a kick to the face when that was strictly forbidden?
These are not those plot holes. Instead, we give you some peculiar realizations about certain blockbuster movies that probably won't ruin them for you forever, but might make you think twice the next time you watch:
The climactic scene would have been way less fun to watch if the band of kids had been playing to a more realistic crowd of their parents, miscellaneous event staff and maybe a handful of others. Instead they played to thousands of people who not only showed up, but didn't just wait outside for their friend's band to play. Those kids will probably never see such a big crowd again.

"KATPEE: READY TO SPLIT?" "PEENISS: FROM TEARS TO TRIUMPH!!"Both would be hilarious on the cover of tabloids.

Although the Wonka chocolate bars were sold all over the world, the winners were German, English and American -- not including the Paraguayan millionaire who tried to forge his way to victory. Since Willy Wonka is attempting to give the company over to the winner, this lack of language barrier worked out very conveniently.

They couldn't have taken, like, one afternoon off from building tchotchkes to make a proper bathroom for poor Buddy?

Maybe the crippling rubber bands on their claws still would have led to their demise, but it's a nice thought that some creatures may have benefitted from the downfall of the ship. It's also questionable whether live or frozen lobsters were served on the menu, but for a fictional account of what it was like to be a lobster on the ship, you can read the "erotic masterpiece" novel, "Lobster."

These cars are going fast both through city streets and highways, often with no pre-planned route mapped out as they're in pursuit or evading a chase. Surely our infrastructure isn't so pristine that they can keep driving so furiously smooth.
One of these movies stars a young girl with an unsatisfying home life who uses her newfound special powers to trick school administrators and parents. The other is the same thing with a lot more pig blood.

Let's not think about this too much, but sneaking unannounced into the rooms of children probably led to quite a few awkward moments where everyone involved was scared.
Luke and his sister, Leia, were supposed to have died with their mother, but were secretly hidden away in the galaxy so Anakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader, didn't know about their existence. Choosing to hide Luke as a Skywalker on Vader's home planet probably shouldn't have worked.

Now that we've all got to experience the internet for a couple more decades, the believability that both Shopgirl and NY152 were people as delightful as Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks seems pretty improbably. "The F-O-X and the Catfish" would probably be a much more fitting movie title.
Those glasses were muggle-made, so didn't come with any pre-existing charms to prevent looting. That said, as the image above suggests, Harry Potter could have also just brought a gun to the wand fight.
On the Marvel website, it's explained that the suit is not made of iron "because iron is very dense and heavy, it rusts and isn't nearly as hard as some of its own alloys such as steel." The site suggests the suit is probably made of an alloy called nitinol. "Here comes Nitinol Man" just doesn't have the same ring to it though.
