Keeping in flavour with other threads on this board (hey I'm a sheep, ok? No original ideas) what are the worst scenes in any movie you can think of?
Note, I said scene not movie. So it could in fact be a half-way decent movie but marred by an absolute dire scene.
Use of Youtube gets you additional credits.
and pls, no-one link THAT scene from "Last Tango in Paris"

I'm cheating a bit, but here's a couple to set the standard:
worst scenes part I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joADFkh48TY)
worst scenes part II (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Rq5ceo7nc)

here's a couple of extra:
worst acting by a thug in a Linda Blair movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-usb3v7yNE)

Not a movie, but still worthy (or should that be worthless?) of inclusion:
worst Star Trek fight scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1eFdUSnaQM)

Still has nothing on this:
The worst fight scene ever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPNhqOT2G_k&NR=1)

Ohhh definatly Stings wooden acting in Dune.

'All....I...see.....is..an...Atredis..I'd...like...to...kill'

Fuckin' classic!

Any time the director puts himself on screen.

Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith and M. Night Shyamalan all leap to mind.

Keanu Reeves, in any film ever. Every single scene.

Keanu Reeves, in any film ever. Every single scene.

I'll see your Keanu Reeves, and raise you a Ben Affleck.

'Luke...I am...your father'

'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'

The last 20 seconds of Vertigo. I burst out laughing. Your not meant to laugh in a Hitchcock film!

whateva the worst scene, the worst movie i ever watched was "Ghosts of Mars" really crap... ;)

I'll see your Keanu Reeves, and raise you a Ben Affleck.

Jennifer Lopez.


As for worst scene, there are far too many horrible ones to mention.

I'll see your Keanu Reeves, and raise you a Ben Affleck.
I throw in a Maaaaaatt Daaaaaaamon.

I thought the Stan Lee cameo in Spiderman 3 sucked donkeys, but so did Spiderman 3 so, meh.

I throw in a Maaaaaatt Daaaaaaamon.

He can act, he just chooses not to. I saw him do it once for about 2 scenes in a movie.......it was shocking.

I beat your Matt Damon with my Nicholas Cage.

Smunkee FTW.

worst scenes part II (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Rq5ceo7nc)
Spiderman III would have been worthless without that scene.

Any time the director puts himself on screen.

Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith and M. Night Shyamalan all leap to mind.
Tatantino did fine in Pulp Fiction, the addition of Kevin Smith to any of his movies couldn't make them any worse and I've never seen and Shymalan movies so I'll have to take your word for it.

The bit in Poltergeist II where the grandmother brings the kid back.....

BEHOLD! THE WORST SCENES YE WILL LAY YOUR EYES ON!

ABANDON HOPE ALL WHO GAZE UPON THESE SCENES!

Best of Troll 2. (Best of Troll 2)

All we have to do is heat it up.;)

Troll 2 Montage. Watch this or Best of Troll 2.

Any time the director puts himself on screen.

Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith and M. Night Shyamalan all leap to mind.

I will submit that when Smith tried to make a movie without Silent Bob in it (Jersey Girl) not even his following saved it.


I don't think there is a YouTube for it but the scene I have always counted as stand out horrible is Johnny Cage and Sonya at sunset in Mortal Kombat where he tells her that he is going to fight Goro. It's like they're reading the lines for the first time off cue cards. AND told to read them in a near monotone.

Garbage day!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbjppsdYWgg&mode=related&search=)

He was trying to get ol' Ben to carry the movie, won't work. Ben sucks. In Mallrats he was okay because all he really had to do was beat the crap out of London, not bad, kinda fun to watch. In Dogma, he really didn't do much other than look pissed, again, not bad, kinda hilarious to watch. In Jersey girl, he had to have "feelings", he was okay in the "I am pissed that my wife died" parts, but notsomuch in the "I am going to do Sweeny Todd" parts.

And, btw, if I might make a horrible grammatical train wreck of a sentence, what a waste of Carlin in that movie........holy hell. :mad: Smith should have known better.

I thought that Carlin did a good job in that movie myself. But I can't swim upstream to demonstrate why on an internet forum. (there is a scene where he has a quiet subtle moment which is my favorite thing, the restrained parts that have weight. To me, any idiot can yell and cry, a true actor can milk miles out of a quiet "Yes."

And Affleck had to do emotions and what not in Chasing Amy, that's my favorite Smith movie.

I think Ben suffers more from the tabloid existence that followed his love life more than anything. Without that I don't know that many people would have strong feelings about him either way. (I'm not saying he's a great actor, but he's no Keanu Reeves, either (who I really really really hate-as an actor, I'm sure he's a fine human being...))

I'll raise all of your suggestions with any scene what-so-ever in Godzilla: Final Wars.

"Thank goodness, it's finally over..."

"No...It's the begining of a new war."

WHAT THE HELL KIND OF ENDING LINE IS THAT?! There were times in that movie when I thought it was supposed to be a parody of Godzilla, I'm not kidding.

Or, Manos: Hands of Fate. Any scene in that.

I can't make my point of hating Ben if you bring up Chasing Amy which is also my favorite of the Smith movies. Carlin did great because he is Carlin, I just really thought there were some scenes when Smith could have used him better.

I am one of those people, that picks apart a movie, piece by piece and talks about how "I would have done it", but then sucks when making her own movie...... (which continues filming in October......)

Any 'hacking' scene from the movie Hackers. Then again, those horrible scenes are what make the movie so amazing XD

The prison scene in Shawshank Redemption.

it's hard to watch scenes like that when you aren't completely ignorant of computer workings........

I remember watching Hackers when it came out and I was like :eek: but then now, after being around my computer geek of a husband for nearly 10 years I am like :rolleyes:

Oh, and the new Die Hard........:rolleyes: it's a great action movie, but seriously?! learn computery stuff guys!

I laughed when in Domino, their RV flips over like twenty times, they're about dead, and Keira Knightly and some random guy just have sex in the middle of the desert.

I heard that they are giving the dinosuars in Jurassic park IV guns.

DINOSUARS WITH GUNS!!!:sniper:

worst scene...

Ballistics: Ecks vs Server. the scene: It's between the opening credits and the Ending credits...

Star Wars: A New Hope: when Han Solo shoots second.

and the entirety of episodes 1 2 and 3 of Star wars

Hey Smunkee... try watch Tron now!

Me Before IT: Yay heroes!

Me After IT: BOO HACKERS!

I'll have to give you that (even though I did like Die Hard 4).
Why is it in any movie where someone is hacking, all they need to do is tap quickly and randomly on the keyboard?
The worst I can think of off-hand was Hugh Jackman's pretense at hacking in Swordfish.
Yep. Hacking into a computer is all about getting boxes to line up:

Also you can break into any system in the world in under 60 seconds but only if you're getting a headjob and have a gun to your head at the same time:

To be fair, John Travolta's hairstyle and goatee are far worse than anything Hugh does in that movie.

Zardos. What the hell was Connery thinking.He must have been on some strong meds while reading that script.

The part in "Four Weddings and a Funeral", near the end, when Andie MacDowell says "Is it raining? I hadn't noticed.". It's the worst acting I've ever seen...

Stephen Seagal movies FTW! :)

On second thoughts there is a scene in 'The Green Berets' with John Wayne and a viet boy where Wayne tells his men that this is what they are fighting the war over. <wheres the vomit smilie when you need it>

Pick a scene from the movie "equilibrium."

Ohhh definatly Stings wooden acting in Dune.

'All....I...see.....is..an...Atredis..I'd...like...to...kill'

Fuckin' classic!

I agree completely.
Frankly, I think the whole movie was pretty terrible.
I guess that the books were too good....

The entire of Gigli.


Nuff said.

Agreed. My favourite scene with him in it was when his character dies spectacularly in Executive Decision. At the time I thought it commendable that someone with such a gigantic ego would agree to his character playing such an ignominious end, later I discovered it was because he left over a conflict with the director. :p

"OmG PADME IZ DYING"
"LOL ITS A BOY"
"OMG I CALL IT LUKE"
"LOL NEXT 1 IZ GURL"
"LOL LEIA BLARG IM DED"

Zardos. What the hell was Connery thinking.He must have been on some strong meds while reading that script.

That was bad, though in an early 70s camp sort of way (Sean Connery in a big nappy? Ugh!). The anarcho-feminist communes were an interesting glimpse into what the people of the that time might have thought of as a distopian future, though.

and pls, no-one link THAT scene from "Last Tango in Paris"


the butter scene? I didn't think it was that bad. Anyway, I say every scene that has had Chris Tucker or any of the Waynes brothers. Or any of the Baldwins beside Alec.

All of the scenes in White Chicks, where the two Wayans brothers dressed up as, well, white chicks.

The movie itself was hilarious, but just not plausible. You cannot take a a couple of adult black men, make them impersonate some teenaged white girls in a costume, and expect nobody - not even the original girls' best friends - to be able to tell the difference. One of the friends did notice that they had suddenly gotten taller, but conveniently missed the fake girls' different voices, bigger muscles and otherwise more robust body structure, all the changed facial features that make-up and rubber couldn't cover, and their inability to remember anything of their previous experiences together. And then, a short, obscure reference to having one's "knees done" satisfied her curiosity.

Too bad the movie was based on such a flawed plot, because it was the only Wayans Brothers comedy I've seen that was actually funny.

Seconded.

also "Mesa propose ta gibba de emercency powers to Chancellor Palpatine"
DIE JAR JAR DIE.

when I bring these things up to my husband he rolls his eyes and says "suspension of disbelief", like that's supposed to fix anything.

Yeah. You win. :D

But lets throw this (http://www.rinkworks.com/movieaminute/m/titanic.shtml)in too. hehe

Pretty much anything labeled as a SciFi Original Movie. Their series kick ass (Dr Who, Eureka, Dresden Files - RIP) But their movies make me ashamed to be an SF geek.

I've never seen any sci-fi on television that wasn't embarrassing, and yeah, I've given all those shows, as well as three Star Trek series and Stargate, a chance.

The one exception- First few seasons of The X-Files,

The sex scene in 300.

I can't use youtube, because my nomination is a sex scene. The scene between Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thorton in Monster's Ball. How she kept growling "I wanna feel good." I have no idea how they managed to direct a woman as beautiful as Halle Berry to get completely naked and still display all the erotic appeal of a train wreck in a tunnel.

Beat that.

The sex scene in 300.
It was like something from cinemax.

I know :(

At least the rest of the movie was something from HBO.
