Plot holes galore (spoilers)

ok.....

1) Its not a device to drink what jack drinks, its the arm that originally shot the optic sensor, with another hand (If you can call it that)

2) the device is for listening to the people on the outside. the conversation is just a by-product of being in something that can understand what he's saying

3) Ok, you've got me there (But it is a prototype system)

4) The bloodstream, and don't forget that he was in lydia's ear shortly before, trying to get her to hear their song

5) He attached it to the system and turned it up as loud as he could to hope she could hear it

6) Because of the signal strength

7) He's microscopic... Its hard enough to locate him without adding a tooth-crush on top of it

Yeah your points 3 and 7 are reasonable enough, but the rest are not plot holes and actually make sense, especially point 1 - I doubt it was a device strictly for getting a drink, but for collecting samples, etc.
Point 2, Well it was set up for him to hear what the rabbit heard. I guess he was just hoping that it would work both ways - you saw him cheer when it did.
Point 4, well as the previous poster said, bloodstream - it takes about 20 seconds for blood to circulate your body.
5, he just blasted the music. You could see him covering his ears - something he didn't need to do in Jack.
6, I guess signal strength, although it should probably have still worked if Jack was next to Lydia.
With point 7, I myself I was thinking surely spitting him out would be an easier method than having to get the hairspray out, etc. But in a movie like this, you have to expect some minor artistic license.

On 3, I don't think Tuck was using whatever-it-was for its intended purpose. He just says something about stimulating Jack's nerves and muscles. Presumably, the pod was designed with medical purposes in mind (surgical-grade laser, anyone?), so the technology Tuck uses to alter Jack's facial features may have had some other purposes in the original design specs.

maybe some parts were TOO SMALL to fit in the PLOT...

3. Where in hell did he get the facial reconstruction technology?

Do you even know what 'plot hole' means?

They might be points, ponderings, 'good questions', even (not that most of them are). But they are definitely not plot holes.

From Wikipedia: "A plot hole, or plothole, is a gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story's plot, or constitutes a blatant omission of relevant information regarding the plot. "

The things you listed are not inconsistencies or gaps in the storyline that go against the flow or logic established by the story's plot. They also do not constitute a BLATANT OMISSION of relevant information regarding the plot.

Others have already answered you, but I will just give my point of view anyway just to make everything exactly clear (would like to hear your 'other points' too, by the way - suddenly you admit in the end, that they are not plot holes after all.. but just .. "points". Right).

1.) It's not a "device for drinking", it's a 'general tool' for all-purpose sample gathering and interfacing/interacting with the environment. A device for drinking would be his own mouth.

2.) It is a lab rabbit, and may be a trained one for multiple purposes. It's much more convenient if he can actually command the rabbit to do certain things, calm it down and test how it reacts to all kinds of sounds perhaps. I am sure that if the mic system fails, this kind of a thing was taken into consideration so Tuck could actually still communicate, by making the rabbit do things. It can have many useful purposes - and the pod might not have been designed with ONLY THE FIRST MISSION in mind - there might be a larger perspective at work. You know, first the rabbit, then humans, then who knows what. The pod was thus probably designed to be a very capable all-around device for purposes even yet unknown. Never hurts to be prepared, and so on. It was not specifically a 'rabbit-only-pod'.

3.) Nowhere. He didn't have any. He simply reconstructed the face with the technology he had, that's all. Like, you don't have to have 'morsecode-creating technology' to tap a morsecode message with your pen against a desk, for example. He simply improvised and utilized the high-energy equipment he had to rearrange things in a way that resulted in Jack's facial features temporarily taking a different shape.

4.) Easily. He has a great pod with lots of equipment at his disposal - he can go wherever he wants in the body, and he has probably learned the optimal routes from all the experience with Jack's body. Also, the computer is now calibrated and optimized to operate inside a human body, thus making it simpler than in the beginning. Also, why wouldn't he be? If you can buy a thought of a guy and a superpod being minituarized and then injected into a human ass, surely you can buy the idea of a pilot of that pod actually using that superpod to rapidly change locations inside a body.

5.) Are you kidding me? He was in her EAR. Why would she NOT hear something that's playing at full blast RIGHT IN HER EAR? Geez. Have you ever used earphones of any kind? That should answer your question right there. Think of the plug-type small earphones as slighly larger versions of the pod's speaker system. The devices in Jack's ears are for two-way audio transmission - from the ears to him (so he can hear the sounds that Jack hears) and back from him to Jack's ears (so he can speak to jack). The signal is wireless, so he doesn't have to hang around in the ear area whenever he wants to hear something (or something to hear him). Now that he is no longer in the vicinity of that signal, he can't get messages to Jack or from Jack, and his only hope is to simply play something so loud that it might damage his own ears and wish that it will be loud enough for Lydia to hear it and realize the situation. Music playing at FULL BLAST directly from the pod's speaker system and him speaking silently inside the pod are TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS. Got that? Ok, good.

6.) See my answer to your number 5.). Signal transmission that works within Jack's body - it transmits and amplifies Tuck's voice so Jack can hear him from anywhere in the body (presumably), even if he just speaks silently into the mic. Lydia can only hear the FULL BLAST volume of the pod's EXTERNAL SPEAKERS, not anything he says into the mic. If Lydia hadn't heard the song, he would have no way of communicating with the outside world. So your point is already taken care of by the movie - watch it more carefully next time!

7.) Nostrils? Oh my. I am tempted to ask whether you are stupid, or just didn't watch the movie. A lot of "plot holes" (which your questions definitely are NOT) can come to anyone's mind, if they watch a movie while doing something else at the same time, barely noticing what's happening in the movie and then starting to wonder "hey, how come that happened! I didn't see how it happened, so it must be a plot hole!". Please gather some intelligence, humility, and watch the movie PROPERLY before starting to type moronic questions in imdb, and claiming they are plot holes.

But just to stoop low enough to make you see the whole point..

He was never in the nostrils. (Just having to say that makes me feel like I am talking to some kind of kindergarten failure - I mean, failing at kindergarten, so they didn't let you graduate) He went into the lungs so he could be coughed or sneezed out.

And whoever said coughing is harder to do than sneezing - that's ridiculous. Of course coughing would have been much easier to do, and the only reason why he had to sneeze instead is that it's a movie, and they needed some nice, funny dramatics at the end.

Now that I have totally annihilated your ridiculous attempts at claiming those things are plotholes, let me reiterate;

Those things are NOT plotholes.

And I am going to ask you again even if you don't "let me".

DO you know what a plot hole is? (if not, you read my post just like you watched the movie - not well enough)

There have been good answers here, but here's my take.

As a kid, it was always exciting and wonderous to see these 'omnipotent, all-capable, malleable, programmable machines/systems/vehicles/computers/gadgets/devices/transportation things' in movies and TV shows.

E.T., Back to the Future, Knight Rider, Whiz Kids and Innerspace all had this 'fantastic, out-of-this-world device' or 'thing' as something important to their story.

The idea of a machine or even mount that's almost 'your friend', that can do 'anything', being almost omnipotent in the right hands, and malleable to any given situation has always been exciting to me, especially as a kid.

Of course as an adult, it's easy to see how unrealistic and silly such a concept is in the 'real world', where we have to live with taxes, groceries, bureaucracy, endless cards, govenments, daily chores, traffic, congestion, health problems, and so on.

A movie, at its best, can take us from our dreary 'reality' into a world of fantasy and whimsy, where anything is possible, and make us forget our troubles and feel the elevated magic of the 'omnipotent thing'.

"The Pod" is amazing in this regard, I loved it as a kid! It can adjust to any situation just like K.I.T.T. in its heyday, and all it requires is a little bit of programming.

I think this feeling of 'omnipotent wonder' that you get to admire for the duration of the movie trumps any illogicality of these points.

I, for one, am ready to make that sacrifice - to get a feeling of 'magical adventure', I am willing to sacrifice a bit of logic and congruency.

So when you view everything from the point of view of: "The Pod should be able to do ANYTHING (as much as possible)", it may become a bit more clear. There might be contingency plans that a meticulous doctor, such as our hero (can't remember his name at the moment) that invented the whole pod, might want to add 'just in case' anyway.

I'd like to think of "The Pod" and its equipment more as 'multi-purpose'
