[Film] Good movies ruined for you by one annoying scene

[Badger]

A slightly more light-hearted one. Labyrinth, one of my favourite films of all time, ruined by this scene:

 

[Bold Seagull]

Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith.

Not an amazing film but comfortably the best of that trilogy.

Then NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Hilariously bad moment.

Worse was the "Luke" "Leia" "I'm dead" set by Natalie Portman which would have been laughable in a school play. To be honest, you could have a World cup of crap dialogue from that film

"In my opinion, the Jedi are evil"

Sake. Hardly the hardest man in the universe speaking.

Okay okay, if we're talking Revenge of the Sith, then surely it is the scene where Padme and Anakin are reunited after he's rescued the Chancellor...

ANAKIN: You are so beautiful!

PADME: It's only because I'm so in love . . .

ANAKIN: No, it's because I'm so in love with you.

PADME: So love has blinded you?

ANAKIN: Well, that's not exactly what I meant . . .

PADME: But it's probably true!

They laugh.

ANAKIN: I haven't laughed in so long . . .

PADME: Neither have I.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Casino Royale is the best Bond film of recent times but the Poker scene at the end winds me up.

Weepy eye man cleans Bond out and must have a good half of the chips on the table. Bond buys himself back in for a maximum of 10% of the chips on the table, has a heart attack, doesn't seem to win any hands in the process and then cleans everyone out with a flush which magically wins 90% of the chips on the table. Rubbish.

We haven't even got onto this gem yet...

I hate sand. Its course, and rough, and irritating. And it gets everywhere

A slightly more light-hearted one. Labyrinth, one of my favourite films of all time, ruined by this scene:

My wife is STILL unnerved by those things and has previously asked me to skip that scene. It does feel a little out of kilter with the rest of the film.

I must've undergone years of therapy to delete this exchange from my brain. Thanks for bringing it back...

I guess I think of Attack of the Clones (Episode II) as the place for all of the HORRENDOUS romance dialogue/acting between Portman/Christensen.

Ruin would be too strong but here are 2.

- Django Unchained. Quentin's cameo as an Australian adds nothing.

- A Ghost Story. Not a thriller but a contemplative film that deals in some heavy philosophical themes and does so with virtually no dialogue. There is one scene in which a bloke explains to his friends what these themes are and it is so unsubtlle and unneccesary.

 

[METALMICKY]

Not a huge fan of the football hooligan film genre but have always had a soft spot for the Football Factory with Danny Dyer. However one scene that always grates is the ' You trying to mug me off ' one. As you watch you just can't help thinking of the classic Goodfellas scene ' how am I funny '. It's just seems an overly obvious steal although I suspect the directors would deny it or claim it as a curious homage. Of course comparing any aspect of Goodfellas to The Football Factory is like comparing a Ferrari to a Robin Reliant!

Yeah, always felt like a very unsubtle homage.

Sort of annoying...
The best line in The Italian Job was not the "bloody doors off" bit.
No.
The best line in that film was near the beginning when he was picking up his car, and talking about shooting tigers...

"Yes" he said, "I, er, used a machine gun!"


Maybe it's just me...

Shorten the sleeves luv, I'm not a bleedin gorilla.

I take it TB failed the audition by taking JB to the cleaners.

There's that famous quote from Harrison Ford giving George Lucas shit for writing terrible dialogue:

"George usually sits near a monitor, far removed, so I had to convey my impression…or my feelings…about the dialogue across a great space," the actor recalled. "So I did shout it. 'George! You can type this shit, but you sure can't say it! Move your mouth when you're typing!' But it was a joke, at the time. A stress-relieving joke."

A mate of mine said Dunkirk was ruined for him because the letters painted on the Spitfires were never ones used. He needs to get out more, but also just shows how the tiniest thing can annoy people.

Little things like that annoy me too.

I like Ken Follett's books, and watched a film version of Eye Of The Needle. It's completely and utterly irrelevant to the plot, but in the book one of the characters loses his legs in a car crash in a GREEN sports car. In the film, the car was WHITE.

And yes, I probably do need to get out more

One of my favourite versions of 'A Christmas Carol' is the animated version by Robert Zemeckis starring the voice of Jim Carrey.. The animation is really good, it's faithful to the book, and the appearance of Marley's Ghost is absolutely excellent. It is slightly let down by the scene at the end of the visit of the Ghost of Christmas Past, and it is almost completely ruined by a ridiculous chase scene at the beginning of the visit of the Spirit of Christmas Yet To Come. Honestly, it really spoils it, it's like doing a film version of Pride and Prejudice and sticking in a car chase.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

More continuity than a scene - in Reservoir Dogs Chris Penn (never seen in the same room as Tom Sizemore) is sat in an office talking to his dad and every time the camera returns to him the length of the cigarette he’s smoking has changed by an inch or two, goes from almost smoked to the butt to practically a full cigarette, then back down, back up.

 

[FamilyGuy]

Any war film that takes place before June 1944 and shows a British aircraft with three stripes on the wings.

Not one scene, but one common abberation, happens time and time again.

Historical accuracy and authenticity - they spend thousands getting it right. Tarmac which hadn't been invented at the period covered in sand and gravel, for example. Great care is taken to avoid out of place 20th. century artefacts appearing in period scenes, costumes authentic down to the last button hole, cars, furnishings etc. everything meticulously checked.........

......except trains!

"Hello, we need a train for this scene".
OK, this one seems to have smoke coming out of the chimney - that do?
"Yeh, fine, thanks!"
It never went anywhere near the supposed location, and wasn't built until twenty years later - does that matter?
"Nah - nobody'll notice!"

The classic one, of course, is the 39 Steps, where Richard Hannay's train, supposedly conveying him up the west coast from London to south west Scotland is see thundering over the Forth Bridge ........... but there are many, many others!

Nail, head. Bugs me as well. Looking at the images released of the new "Railway Children" caused me to spill tea onto my best anorak when I saw a USA 2-8-0 hauling a passenger train in Yorkshire

 

[Blue3]

The film Titanic was very much ruined when some block behind my seat before the film started was telling his girlfriend that it sinks in the end

The Schools class chuffing through 1960s Yorkshire in Heartbeat is a regular offender too!
