The biggest one for me is in Butterfly effect, when he goes back in time and gives himself the scars, it goes against everything we learned about time travel in that movie. If he did that he would have had the scars all along, they would not have appeared out of thin air, also the timeline would have diverged there.

In the same vein, in looper where they start crippling the past version of a person and the future one who is running away from something gets starts stumbling more and more until he can't walk, but the first few hundred meters he still made somehow.

But that is internally coherent from what I remember. I.e. time always works that way, changes in the past are propagated, and time travelers get the effects sometime after it.

Ah maybe it is. I don't remember it very well anymore. Then it wouldn't be a bad scene and more of a bad overall setup.

Yeah. It is consistent with the time travel rules in Looper, and the rules in Looper are just kinda silly.

It makes me sad because there's no real need for it - the plot to Looper would still have worked without the silly bits.
