That one scene that ruined a movie.

[Drakmeire]

Some people say this ruined the movie but I thought cabin fever kinda sucked and this saved it for me because it destoried itself from being taken seriously... I hope no one takes it seriously

I still can't watch that without laughing.

Pretty much all the stupid childish humours in Transformers 2 (Bay humours). The worst humours of them all in that film was when Sam room mate had his pants down to distract that guard.

The ending to Carlito's Way.

*puts on flame suit*

Spoiler

A minor character appears, basically kills off Carlito, then Carlito's crime bud reveals he betrayed Carlito for the money, then he gets killed off basically instantly. In like 20 seconds, half the main cast gets wiped out.

That kinda killed the movie for me. It was too stupid.

Almost the fight scenes in Scott Pilgrim. The rest of the movie is awesome enough to make up for it though.

I'm surprised no-one's said the original ending of Blade Runner already though.

Really?

I thought the fight scenes were brilliant, they looked good, were well choreographed and never outstayed their welcome.

Still to each their own.

OT: I hated that scene in Die Hard 4 when he states 'You just killed a helicopter with your car'.

It really gets on my nerves that he says killed...

The dance scene in Deathly Hallows Part 1

 

[Alden Hou]

the scene in the godfather where they are sitting at a table and that trumpet guy drowns out all the speech

the scene in the godfather where they are sitting at a table and that trumpet guy drowns out all the speech

The first two movies of that series had a bad habit of making their speech to quiet and the background noise too loud. I still pick up new things when I watch it just because I've resorted to subtitles the whole way through.

If this was about games as well then I would have to say Halo: REACH, because the way the squad just get picked off one by one in increasingly small scale ways just doesn't fit the supposedly epic scale of the setting.

EDIT: How can I use spoilers?

You type '[ spoiler ]' (no spaces between the word and the square brackets), type what you want to hide, and then type [/spoiler] when you're done.

But I wouldn't say it was anticlimactic or anything, I mean

Spoiler: Halo: Reach spoilers

Cat getting headshot through a random hole in the ceiling was pretty cheap, but that thing with Jorge, and then Emile, and especially Six were all pretty damn cool.

I know, I was expecting her to go down better (no joke intended xD). Anyway it's not so much the way each one dies its just that I was hoping they would all go down fighting like 6 does at the end, after activating a nuke or something.
Also I was a bit disappointed by the way it only showed one squad of spartans.

 

[SadisticPretzel]

Dobby's death scene in the latest Harry Potter. I won't spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen it, but it's just too over the top. And Harry has a line that totally cheeses it out.

The final 20 seconds of The Mist.

Spoiler

After killing everyone else in the car, for some reason they decided to go extra emo and have the fog clear and survivors drive by with tanks and soldiers. Because, you know, killing four people by your own hands (including a child!) and then turning the gun on yourself, just to find out your out of bullets is not horrifying enough. He could have literally stalled for 20 seconds and everyone would have lived. It should have ended like in the book, with everyone dead and him left to die alone in a world filled monsters. It wasn't edgy. It was shock for sake of shock, with the second "downer" too close to the first for proper dramatic effect. My brain screamed "AW COME ON", any sense of immersion was snapped in half and an otherwise great movie was ruined as I stomped out of theater pissed as hell. Wasn't the ending a downer enough? Did it REALLY need even more over-the-top angst to prove a point? Sorry about the diatribe, but god damn that ending pissed me off. I was unnecessary Hollywood bullshit.

a scene in the original Alien film, was probably creepy as hell "back in the day" but being 18 now, that was before my time and i only watched it 2 or 3 years ago. It was the scene were the first alien sprouts from a survivor, and then scuttles across the table. i literally rofl'd. thing looks like a little sock puppet, hell probably was.

Hilariously, the shocked expressions of fear on the actors faces were not faked. They didn't tell any of the actors about the chest burster. Only the director, the actor who had it rigged to his chest and the crew knew. The reason there's a big spurt of blood before it appears is because the rig misfired and ruptured the blood pack, they had to trigger it a second time for it to tear out of his shirt. They did the whole scene in one take just to capture the expressions of the actors. Pretty funny stuff.

"I know kung-fu."

 

[Cain_Zeros]

For me, it's any scene where Anthony Hopkins opens his mouth in Silence of the Lambs. Everything he says is just so fucking ridiculous that I can't take the character of Hannibal Lecter seriously.

Hannibal is equal parts insane and brilliant. Both those things come across in his dialog, and it's a rather jarring contrast, I'll admit.

 

[PureChaos]

the sex scene from Matrix: Reloaded. really could have done without that

 

[shadyh8er]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull:

Everyone is crammed into a tiny little boat. They go over not one, not two, but THREE waterfalls, and EVERYONE manages to stay in the boat!

HA! Yes! How did I forget about this?

And no, I don't take anything Eli Roth does seriously. Not even his performance in Inglorious Basterds. (He doesn't strike me as a "Bear Jew").

Luna killed that scene for me. If you haven't seen it- Harry's crying his eyes out, Dobby's like 3 types of dead, and then Luna walks up, closes Dobby's eyes, "There! It's like he's just sleeping now."

Thanks for that, Luna.

The first fifteen minutes of Don't Say A Word.

First time I watched it, I came in at the scene where the camera pans up from the water and the bridge, and Michael Douglas is seen for the first time, and it was a fantastic psychological thriller.

Second time I saw it from the beginning, where they literally give away the entire point of the movie and thus remove any semblance of suspense from the entire film.

Seriously, if you're going to watch that movie, skip ahead to about 15 minutes in and start there; so much better.
