Shitty Scenes in Great Movies

[At Home 0]

What are some scenes that you think were complete shit, but were placed in great movies?

 

 

I'd say the dinner scene in Easy Rider.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Anything involving Liv Tyler in the LOTR trilogy.

[starvenger 0]

Ewoks, Return of the Jedi.

Wheelie, Transformers, the Movie.

Was never a big fan of the scenes in Boondock Saints where Willem Dafoe's character goes on his rants about how the crimes happened at the beginning of the movie. The whole deal with him putting on the headphones and turning up the music as he reconstructs the crime was just over the top and the white guy Bob Marley didn't help the scene at all.

 

In Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions everything involving the city council of Zion and the love triangle involving Morpheus/Zee/city council member and I hated the whole scene where the people of Zion use those Alien exoskeleton machines to defend the city against the robots primary the guy who was running around everywhere giving the ammunition to the soldiers. The whole Matrix series should of been about Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, Agent Smith really who gives a fuck about the city of Zion?

Personally I've always found the Broadway Melody number in Singin in the Rain to be gratuitous and tedious. I know what Kelly was going for there, something similar to the Lullaby of Broadway in Gold Diggers of 1935, but the thing is the big number climaxed that earlier movie (and is the main thing it has to recommend it) while the Broadway number in Singin in the Rain stops the narrative we actually care about dead in its tracks.

I really didn't mind the Ewoks.

^nicely said. i've found that the sequence grows on you quite a bit with repeated viewings, but it can't touch the absolute joy of any other number in the movie.

The dance sequence in Spider-Man 3.

 

I am by no means calling Spider-Man 3 a "great" movie, I know it's been widely criticized on the boards, but I liked it. Except for that scene.

The "Like a virgin" number in Moulin Rouge and the group number at the end.

 

If they had ended it somehow right after Ewan spit on Nicole with that last "come what may", I would have been happy.

 

And yes. Moulin Rouge was a great movie and if you disagree go ahead and kick yourself in the balls and imagine me doing it.

I love that movie...of course I'm also an Ewan McGregor mark...I'd sleep with him if we were both gay.

I could have done without Ray's wide awake flashbacks to the little dead brother thing in...ya know, Ray.

It's no advert for my attention span but every time they go to the elves in the LOTR series I did tend to sigh.

I'll have to mention some stuff in Pulp Fiction. I've always found the scene with Bruce Willis talking to the cab driver chick really long and drawn out for what it was (mainly just a post fight scene to get Butch's thoughts, frame of mind, etc.).

 

Come to think of it the stuff with Willis and his French girlfriend in the motel is a bit dull up until he flips out over the watch.

[Scarlett_Rayne 0]

the graduate--the scene where he's in the scuba diving gear he got for graduation... that scene was much longer than it should have been, otherwise, the rest of the movie is fantastic

With that being said I could do without The Bride and the Pimp's long chat in Kill Bill vol 2 (SUCH A GREAT SCENE, shut up, boring)

[At Home 0]

The scene with the shotgun bitch in kill bill was awesome, but completely unnecessary.

[Ripper 0]

It explained why she was quitting.

 

Before that it was assumed that she tried to quit and got pregnant by the guy she was about to marry. that scene says it was bills baby.

Alot of the queens scenes in 300. "You will not enjoy this, it will not end quickly, I am not your queen" was pretty fucking kickass, but alot of the scenes leading up to it was pointless.

 

Of course a bunch of old men using the shakey fist of ANGER~! while screaming traitor was hilarious and I couldn't have done without that scene.

I'll second Wheelie in Transformers the Movie. What a shit bastard.

 

The penguins in Batman Returns.

Oh yeah, KBV2 already had a couple problems with slow pacing, that utterly superfluous scene just stopped the movie dead in its tracks for no real reason.

 

Before that it was assumed that she tried to quit and got pregnant by the guy she was about to marry. that scene says it was bills baby.

No, her very first line at the beginning of the first movie was "Bill, it's your baby::BANG::"

 

 

 

The deleted scenes that they stuck back in the Redux version of Apocalypse Now are almost all completely unnecessary, and it's pretty obvious why they were cut out in the first place. Especially the ENDLESS, shrill, and incredibly boring sequence at the French plantation.

[Ripper 0]

...oh yeah..

 

Well in my defense, she didn't get baby out.

When that one gungan says to Jar Jar, "You in some big doo-doo this time."

How about the entirety of Star Wars I & II.

[The Metal Maniac 0]

And parts of III.

 

"The Chancellor is evil!"

"From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!"

 

Fucking PAINFUL. Hate that.

You liked Moulin Rouge but you wanted it to end with Ewan spitting on his sick/dying girlfriend? That's cold.

"The Chancellor is evil!"

"From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!"

 

Fucking PAINFUL. Hate that.

 

Not as bad as Ewan's delieveary of "He killed.... Younglings.."

 

That really is painful to watch.

 

Actually Hayden is quite painful to watch, the man just acts with his eyebrows.

All the love crap in Star Wars: Episode II

 

Venom

in Spider-Man 3

[luke-o 0]

Is that really worth a spolier?

[At Home 0]

shut your fucking mouth.

 

venom was rad.

 

Everything else in that movie sucked.

[luke-o 0]

Venom wasn't "rad". Venom was wasted.
