Worst Movie Scene of All Time

[The Shadow One]

Okay, here's a topic I haven't seen posted around here. A moment of background:

Last night I went to a friend's house. He and his wife occassionally make dinner for me because, well, I'm a single guy and like commericial says, some of us would starve. After dinner, they asked me if I wanted to watch a movie. Sure, what am I going to do on a Sunday night?

The movie was Entrapment. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Sean Connery. Some of you probably know where I'm going with this, eh?

Okay, in the middle of the movie is a romantic scene between Jones and Connery. Now, I think of myself as a fairly broad-minded person, but this just looked ridiculous. Sexy Jones and Geriatric Connery. Not a combination I'd like to see again, in case anyone in Hollywood is wondering.

However, the scene got me thinking about truly bad movie scenes. Like the scene in Amityville II where Diane Franklin has sex with her brother -- just because he says she's beautiful? Then, later in the movie, she tells him she's not sorry they did it? And then, to top it off, when she's dead and they're zipping up the body bag -- her eyes move!! Wait a minute, Coroner, we've got a live one here!

So what is you're favorite worst movie scene of all time? The one you tell your friends about every chance you get. No intentional bad scenes; these are bad because the director was an idiot.

Please share.

I saw the Entrapment movie you're speaking about and was disgusted when I watched the scene...

Dont know if I could name like my all time fav worst scene. Just as with other 'bad' things I try not to remember them

I don't know if I can say it was the worst scene of all time, but I hated the revival of the alien in ET: The Extraterrestrial. I felt like Spielberg was trying to manipulate my emotions.

Still, watching miss jones practise the evasion of lasers was fun. Delicious.

Worst scene phew, the scene with the electric fence in Jurrasic Park comes close I guess.

There's a seen in this zombie movie...can't remember what it's called, the guy gets some sort of zombie infection and it makes him have diarrhea real bad. The scene goes on for twenty minutes. You see a shot of his face all scrunched up with him going "urrrrrggghh" and then it cuts to a giant latex ass with shit pouring out...than back to his face and back to the ass. twenty minutes. And then the opening credits start.

I saw a Steven Seagal film called 'Half past dead' in which Seagal was pointing a gun at an evil dude. The evil dude stated that Seagal was out of ammo, to which Seagal replied "do you feel lucky, punk?" (cringe...) Then, Seagal pulled the trigger, and nothing happened. He said 'Misfire...' and was led away.

I was crying with disbelief.

I think pretty much the whole of titanic can be included too.

Oh come on people; Titanic is the only film to make froggy cry at a love scene!

....

....

With helpless laughter. It was the hand on the window that did it. Out of nowhere a hand goes slap on the misted up window, smears around a bit and then vanishes. Makes me wonder what they were doing ....

Before anyone tells me, yes I know what they were supposed to be doing, I just don't see how that involves hands on windows.

Titanic s(t)unk; it stands as a perfect example of why froggy hates chick flicks and mushy movies. I only watched it because someone dragged me off to see it, claiming it was the best thing ever.

Back in the late '70s/early '80s, there were several sword & sorcery movies made trying to cash in on the Dungeons & Dragons craze: The Sword & The Sorceror, The Sorceress, The Warrior & The Sorceror, etc. I believe it was The Sorceress that had a couple of the worst scenes I've ever witnessed. The movie opens with a night time chase scene, men on horses chasing a poor victim. The leader of the horsemen spies the victim and turns to his men to deliver the first line of the movie...in such a stilted and unnatural way he had to be reading a cue card - and reading it at a 3rd grade level. My friend and I turned towards each other and groaned "Oh no!".


Second bad scene from the same movie: the movie has twin Playboy Playmates playing the lead roles. These (blond) twins are rather naive about many things, including men and sex. In one horrible scene they encounter a satyr, who is rather "excited" to see these two blond babes. The twins stare at his crotch (unseen by the moviegoers) and point at it asking each other "What is that?". "Maybe it is a weapon"..."Or a horn!" I can't believe we stayed until the end of the movie.

Another late 70s classic was called Comin' At Ya!, the first of a (very) brief return of 3D movies to the theater. I've never seen it on TV since all copies were probably burned right after the movie's 2 week run. As you probably can't tell from the title it was a "western" (cowboys & indians) and, despite the 3D glasses, a plot was nowhere to be found. It was simply a series of scenes with which to showcase the marvels of 3D - many things were "Comin' at ya!" out of the screen. Now there are many things you can have "Comin' at ya!" is a western movie, however, this movie managed to dredge the bottom of the barrel. In the dumbest 3D effect ever filmed, a older Mexican woman is going to cook some beans for her family. She has a big basket of beans which she slowly pours into the kettle hanging over a fire. We, the moviegoer, get to see this action from the bottom of the kettle as thousand of beans are poured onto us. Give me a break. Even the 3D effect could not save us from the sheer stupidity of that scene. I can't believe we stayed until the end of the movie.

A giant arse with shit pouring out....call it "Hollywood" and you could enter that for the Turner Prize.

(Note for non-UK people: the Turner prize is a UK prize for modern art and its a bit of a giant arse with shit pouring out in its own right)

Ja, the Connery/Jones matchup was certainly odd given that he was over 40 years her senior but Sean's aged pretty damn well considering. I guarantee when you get to be Connery's age you'll be staring long and hard (pun intended) at the teenage girls frolicking at the beach or park. You'll also be looking at reruns of Entrapment on cable and saying, "That lucky bastard!"

But I can beat that. If you really want a May/December romance that will make you jump out of your skin rent "Harold and Maude". It's an offbeat/black comedy that stars Ruth Gordon and features an odd relationship between a young undergraduate obsessed with death and an 80 year old woman obsessed with life! Sean Connery was 68/9 when Entrapment was filmed and looked good for his age. Ruth Gordon, who was 74 when they filmed Harold & Maude, did not!
