Topic: Dumbest Scene in a Movie

What is the dumbest Scene from a movie that you ever saw?

Pa Kent's stupid death from Man of Steel for me.

When Jar Jar Binks was introduced and everything that followed (Except for Darth Maul)

Are you kiddin' me? That's one of the reasons it was so great!

A certain scene from the OC was sufficiently dumb, that it inspired this SNL parody.

I always want to know the context of that scene from OC

Billy Ray Cyrus in Mulholland Drive. It's a dark, David Lynch film about Hollywood. Billy Ray Cyrus is in it. And he plays a pool cleaner who as an affair with a character's wife. It's as silly as it sounds

Anything with Nicholas Cage.

SPOILERS AHOY!

John Reid's absolute wussification and unwillingness to become a man until the final half hour of Gore Verbinski's The Lone Ranger (it would be fine if it weren't two and a half hours long). That was dumb; but then, so was the damn movie! Everything's come full circle!

The Bodyguard - there is an absolute pointless scene where Whitney Houston's other bodyguard scuffles with Kevin Costner bodyguard because the other got left behind in a riot. But, being the movie that it is, Kevin outdoes him with a knife fight and once it's done Kevin's all like, "Don't do that again" and the movie acts like it never happened! What the hell was the point? To show that Kevin is an able bodyguard?

Rocket Man - Heh heh, speaking of things that were absolutely pointless: the movie's really bad, but there is a scene that takes place in a bar that really gets to me. The main character is taken advantage of, takes all these drinks from shot glasses, stacks all said glasses in a pyramid with fire on all of them (I'm surprised the table cloth did not catch on fire), then the main character "acts" all drunk going wild, the love interest of the movie shows up, he accidentally falls on top of her to the ground, she gets upset, tells him to "grow up" (because the main character is offensively annoying), and... that's it! We cut to a scene where he's in bed, and then the rest of the movie acts like it never happened (not even a single reference towards it). You know, sometimes I question the inclusion of pointless scenes that are never brought up again; maybe it was to pad out the running time. Makes sense to me!

Prometheus - "Hey, look! Isn't she beautiful?" "I don't think you want to do that." "Hey, it's okay, it won't hur------- ARRRRGH, IT'S HURTING ME, IT'S BREAKING MY AR-------------ARRRRRRRGH!!!!" Even before I acknowledged that the movie as a whole was terribly unfocused, this scene just offensively made me feel embarrassed because it just felt out of place in a movie like this, and I felt embarrassed for the director (because he had to rely on a script like that for this movie). No scientist would do anything this stupid; you see a dangerous-looking creature you don't try to pet it! And what's worse, Ridley Scott directed Alien - that movie was a hundred times better than this so-called "prequel" (I'm hoping that the sequel will be less painful to sit through).

Superman II - the scene where Zod, Ursa, and Non literally blow people away; it drags on too long.

Superman III - now I don't hate the movie like a lot of people do, but it doesn't mean that I'm blind to its issues. There's the whole slapstick-laden title sequence (the title gets offscreen as soon as it gets in; funny thing: the mime in that sequence is played by a man called "Justin Case"... I'm convinced that he was only hired because of that inconsequential name), and one of the problems with the movie is that a lot of the comedy is not funny (leave it to Richard Lester to throw every gag he can at you). There's one moment when Richard Pryor's Gus Gorman is about to say something to Robert Vaughn's Webster, but he accidentally slides down the snowy slope, falls off the balcony, several dozen stories, landing on the downward slanted glass ceiling, and after he falls off that he lands on the skis, unharmed. Now that scene is not so much dumb so much as not funny, he could've been killed. What is dumb is a scene later on when the three bad guys go down on parachutes but Gus declines instead going down to the hideout on a mule because "I just don't believe a man can fly!" Whabejabe, you do know that Superman can fly right, have not heard of him before this movie??? I get that Gus is afraid of heights, but he doesn't have to express it outwardly like that. That was just dumb to me (and before anyone says he might be referring to humans that cannot fly, I don't care, that line still gets to me).

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Jamie Foxx's Max Dillon. Also, the theme that plays whenever he's onscreen, it is just too silly to take seriously.
Chester A. Bum: "COMEDY!!!!"

The Last Airbender - can you guess how many Earthbenders it takes to lift a ball-sized rock off the ground? I'll give you a hint: it's not one, but six.

Godzilla's Revenge - oh man, this movie's just incredible! It's got everything you could want from a Godzilla movie: bullies, children, wild fantasies, stock footage, poor dubbing, lots of literally quiet atmosphere, little Godzilla in it, short running length, bank robbers. Truly this movie's a classic! Seriously though, the original and newest Godzilla movies were more engaging than this.

Krull - now I love this movie, it's one of my favorites (even as a clear cheesefest), but there is one thing that's always bothered me whenever I watch it. Whenever Princess Lyssa speaks, it's not really the actress that is speaking, but a much older woman, and I find this sad because Lysette Anthony has a very good voice. Damn you producers who backed up on this dumb decision! shakes fist

Insidious: Chapter 2 - the fact that it was made and released after the excellent The Conjuring. James Wan should've ended his horror directorship on a much better note than this. Completely devalues the first Insidious.

Hey Arnold! The Movie - every single thing imaginable; like the fact that Arnold, Gerald, Helga, and Scheck are the only characters who are shaded while everyone else is flat! Flat!!! That's lazy! There is a pointless scene where Bob turns into the Incredible Hulk but is cut short, there is a sexual innuendo (two, technically) that comes right out of nowhere near the end, the pacing is uneven, the climax is unexciting, a lot of the things that happen are dumb, and it is just a dumb dumb movie overall! There was no care or consideration at all to make the story or the movie remotely good. Nickelodeon should've outright said "No!" to Paramount after they suggested to turn it into a theatrical release; because it's worked so well with the Rugrats movies, why not give this one the same treatment?

Batman and Robin -

To each their own

Emo Tobey in Spiderman 3. That whole part of the film lasted so long, and I feel embarrassed whenever I see it.

What was wrong with it? It was comic relief, at least the dance part. The rest did a pretty good job of conveying Black Suit Peter as a total jerk

Anyway, the entire Attack of the Clones film is eligible, but I'll pick this one for it's notoreity

The scene when he's with Padme packing and he's whining about Obi-Wan is pretty cringeworthy as well.

I don't see enough prequels in here

Why the hell did they sew his mouth shut?!? Deadpool is the Merc With the Mouth, not the Merc Without a Mouth!

Honestly, you could pull scenes from almost any prequel ever made, not just Star Wars. Man, prequels are the antithesis of proper storytelling. Stories start when and where they do for a reason.

The only real exceptions are movies like Temple of Doom and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly where the timeline is loose and insignificant, or The Godfather 2, where there's a parallel narrative.

There is a movie about a brocoli alien who diguises itself as Elvis Presley, and he won a ticket to earth or something like that. And of course he is a hit with the ladies. I forgot the name of the movie, but it is wroooong from start to finish! A real piece of art!

A scene in the Amazing Spider-man where Peter throws an American Football and it hits and dents a field goal while a ton of players watch! Seriously? Nobody, even questioned that in the slightest bit?

Spiderman dancing.

You know which one.

Ah yes, the unforgettable dance scene from Spider-Man 3. I believe the Nostalgia Critic pointed out everything that was wrong with it in his "Top 11 Dumbest Spider-Man Moments" countdown.

The scene where the film has absolutely no proper explanation for there being food animals in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2.Also,the scenes toward the end of Genesect and the Legend Awakened where everyone started talking about the whole message about "friends".Both just felt rushed and cheesy to me.

Oh,and the entire film "The Last Airbender" was ridiculous.It didn't make sense as a standalone film or an adaption.Practically all of the dialogue was exposition,there were HORRIBLE casting choices(Zuko and Iroh acted OK but didn't look the part),it went way too far from the original show,and tried to squeeze about 20 or so episodes of a great animated TV series into a atrocious film that didn't even last about 2 hours.That's how long I would have made it,just to include things that were NOT present in the film at all.I hope they try to do it over with a different director.Seriously,Nick got Steven Spielburg to direct The Adventures of Tintin.They could've done so much better.If you want to know more about why the film sucked you might want to check out the Nostalgia Critic's review.But all-in-all,the film was horrible and one of the worst I've seen in my life.

Dragon Ball Evolution - the entire film
