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.

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!

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.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

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.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

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.

[Gregoshi]

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)

[Adrian II]

Street Fighter (1994) with Jean Claude van Damme, Raul Julia and Kylie Minogue. Take it out, it's guaranteed to make you howl with laughter.

[Lazul]

Well, if you are allowed to bring tv in to this... how about EVERY episode of Sunset Beach and every forsaken, damned, paincousing series that is labeled "Aaron Spelling".... *shivers*

ok, maybe Beverly Hills is ok (a little ok).... Shannon Dohorty... *drool*

[CrusaderMan]

A movie with Jean claude van dam where he is looking for an airplane that crashed in the sea in an underwater cave (I think he finds it intact!). In the same movie he is rapelling on a steel rope and someone tries to kill him with a grenade. Also, any of these kick boxing movies where he trains by spreading his legs and squashing his b***s on the ground.

[The_Emperor]

Entrapment, man that was terrible... I half expected Connery to cry out "Arrgghh, I think I just broke a hip".

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

The entire movie of Titanic is a monstrosity, all the girls still whine "Oh its a great love story", A love Story? It was a bloody one-night stand!!
Oh well this means The original Terminator film is a love story... But at least that had better acting.

Street Fighter (1994) with Jean Claude van Damme, Raul Julia and Kylie Minogue. Take it out, it's guaranteed to make you howl with laughter.

I knew it wouldn't be long before someone came up with that hidious crime against Humanity. In fact just about every Van-Damme film you can find is terrible and deserves to be in this thread.

The guy is still making really, bad b-movies about him avenging his brother's death...

[King Edward]

The whole of Alfred Hitchcocks 'The Birds' Bloody awful film!

[frogbeastegg]

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.

[Ser Clegane]

The whole of "First Knight" was just one terrible movie scene. After almost 10 years I still fail to comprehend how this movie could get so screwed up.

(There are probably worse movies - but I cannot remember any movie that left me so dissapointed ... well except for Highlander 2 perhaps, but for that one I did not pay to see it in cinema)

[The_Emperor]

There was another movie that I saw once on TV that was really terrible.

I think it was once of the delta force movies...

Anyway you had this team going to the enemy base, all dressed in special forces black. The team leader stands up tall in the field and very un-stealthly looks around at the enemy base through his binoculars... and mutters something like "looks like they are expecting us".

What made the scene even more laughable was the fact that this was in broad daylight on a bright sunny day... And the field he and his team were standing in was full of cotton plants!! (yes very stealthy blending into the White background of those things in those fetching black suits)

[A.Saturnus]

Has anyone of you seen the film "The last fight of Genghis Khan"? Genghis Khan actually hardly appears. He´s killed after 20 minutes. But the most absurd scene is when the main character crosses a river in Poland... and is attacked by an aligator!!

[Kongamato]

There was this film called "A River Runs Through It" that had a scene where the two main characters, who were brothers, get into a fight with each other. Just before they fight, one of them yells out "You son of a bitch!!" to the other. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's probably not the best choice of words to use there.

I remember a scene in the old viking flick "The Long Ships" where about two dozen viking men burst into Sidney Poitier's harem. Grabbing, fondling, and fending off commences to -playful- background music. It's probably just me, but this did not appear tasteful.

AMC runs some B and C-class horror flicks on Fridays and halloween times, and "The Return of Count Yorga" had some seriously awful scenes. This Yorga fellow had a bunch of vampire brides which looked like crack whores that had been swimming in a mud puddle behind the power plant. There's a scene where they bust into a house and attack the family inside, and also far too many scenes of the doomed protagonists running around the house being chased by them, struggling to open the doors in the hallways which always turn out to be locked. It got tiresome after a while.

The nightmare sequence in the movie "Vertigo" was also pretty cheesy and might not have been the smartest thing to include. However, I've no idea what it looked like back then, it might have been scary to that era.

But Gregoshi I thought you and corny movies mixed well........... I guess it's just the corny jokes you mix in with well

Even though Sean connery is an old man, theres something the woman like about him

Becaush my dear Moneypenny, regardlesh of his age, Shean hash shtill got charishma and shex appeal!

[KafirChobee]

Old Girlfriend picked the flick for us to go to - My previous one had been like "The Doors", a bomb. She picked "Havana", with Robert Redford. Afterwards we swore if we ever had kids and needed to punish them - we would make them watch Havana. It is one bad sceen after another, after another and we never could quite figure out the plot. Two people in love in pre-Castro Cuba - then Castro comes along and ruins it? Gah!

[The Tuffen]

The whole of Return to cabin by the lake.

If anybody has seen it i feel sorry for you, anybody who hasn't seen it don't. Its supposed to be a horror but it isn't.

[nokhor]

there's a scene in "They stole Hitler's Brain" where a character is giving the exposition of the movie to another character. It was mind numbingly boring.

you have to understand i wanted to watch this movie because i heard it was so bad. so i was anticipating this. but it was still too bad to watch. did i mention i quit within 15 minutes of it starting? there is noo way, noooo way a human being can actually sit through this entire movie. at least with van damme you can laugh at him if not with him, but there are movies that are so bad i challenge anyone to sit through them in one sitting. other than the one titled above, they are

"parents"
"surf nazis must die"

[Louis VI the Fat]

Worst movie scene?

Anyone involving Jar-Jar Binks...

[Bob the Insane]

The Remains of the Day...

A film about nothing happening in which, you guessed it, nothing happens...

Watched it with friends and everyone fell asleep except me (girl friends included)... All that kept me awake was the unquenshable spark of hope that something might actually happen... But I was disappointed...

[LittleGrizzly]

Monsters ball all scenes bar the sex ones, but halle berry doesn't look great with short hair, after enduring it for what seemed like an eternity we just gave up and had sex instead.

You are right, they belong in a separate category. I'm not sure about the worst one (I probably completely forgot) but I remember On Golden Pond as a real dozer. Bored the cr@p out of the entire audience.

[derF]

2 come to mind.

1) Blade II.

Awful CG effects.

2) (this is more of a category).

All low budget war/action films. There are soooooo many errors. Like some guy that has a pistol with unlimited ammo. And scenes on Blackhawk down, where the US soldiers have a bad habit of popping off a few rounds to add exclamation to their lines. IT DOESNT HAPPEN LIKE THAT!

[KafirChobee]

One more comes to mind. I don't mean to sound sacreligious, but I will anyway. Honest, I do consider myself a Christian - not a good one, but I do believe in a God.

Mel's Crucifixion film - The Passion. About midway through, with all the blood being thrown about, I began wondering where it was all coming from. Unexplainably it caught my funny bone unaware and I began laughing about the time they began nailing Christ to the cross. The harder I tried to stop, of course, the harder I laughed - in near hysterical laughter I was asked to leave. l almost had to be escorted from the theater (personal safety and all).
The people that dragged me to see it still talk to me, some times. They just look at me sideways now, rather than staight on.

Unfortunately, when I review some of the scenes in my mind I still catch myself chuckling. Gah! I'm going to he77 for sure.

(Edited because I finally remembered the name of the film. Must be true, one blocks bad experiences from their mind. Oh, that I could do that with others - got a few I'ld like to rid myself of.)
