Well, if we're going to pick the best, why not the worst? Let's say that it has to be a fairly well-known movie (too many bad "B" movies out there).

I'd like to nominate a scene from the epic film, "The Quick and the Dead" starring Sharon Stone and Gene Hackman. The duel scene at the end between these two was pretty ridiculous when she shoots him through the heart and he doesn't realize it until he sees his shadow on the ground, and sees the sunlight passing through the hole.

Brilliant.

(sorry if I spoiled the movie for you :roll: )

Rocket car/parachute/waterski scene from 'Die Another Day'. As a Bond fan, I wanted to throw up after seeing that.

Three instantly come to mind:

1. Batman & Robin -Batman scales a rocket as it's taking off; this happened early in the movie and I was infuriated and instantly knew it'd forever be on my "worst movies ever" list.

2. XXX -Vin jumps a motorbike over a wall, does a stunt mid air, and shoots two guys on either side of him. Gag.

3. Transporter 2 -In perhaps the most ridiculously unbelievable stunt in cinematic history, the Transporter realizes a bomb is strapped to the underside of his car, so he finds a ramp, hits it so that it rolls the car in mid-air, and snags the bomb on a hook from a crane.

When it comes to XXX, it's easier to name scenes that ARE plausible.

This scene from Stripes was raised in the favorite one-liners thread. It has bothered me for decades:

Cruiser: I joined the army 'cause my father and my brother were in the army. I figured I better join before I got drafted.
Sergeant Hulka: Son, there ain't no draft no more.
Cruiser: There was one?


If Cruiser doesn't even know there was a draft, at some point in United States history, why would he be concerned about joining the Army in order to avoid it? And is there really a fundamental difference between joining voluntarily and being conscripted?

Very sloppy.

That movie was a two-hour long Mountain Dew commercial that I only got dragged to because of the ex. I'm glad I was drunk and laughing at all the unintentionally hilarious/serious moments, and therefore irritating everyone that was there to see serious action cinema.


I still can't believe that Queens of The Stone Age allowed one of their songs to be associated with that abomination of a movie.

OK, here's mine. In The Rock, Sean Connery, the only man to break out of Alcatraz, is enlisted to show Cage how to get back into Alcatraz.

One scene (it's been a while so excuse my lack of detail) they are in a room with some kind of fan/gear system to have to go thru. Connery goes thru this difficult hazard and then comes around and opens the door for Cage.

Connery broke out of Alcatraz. Wouldn't he have just come thru the door? He wouldn't know anything about trying to get through the fan.

If you're gonna bring up painful Sean Connery scenes, how about this gem from Finding Forrester:

I couldn't finish the movie after seeing this crap. Good one Matt.


This may be unpopular but, I'll say any boxing scene in any of the Rocky movies (not sure about the latest one). These professional boxers for some reason are completely incapable of blocking a punch. Frustrating...

The final scene with the villian in "Mission Impossible 2" when the guy has a gun pointed at Cruise and then Cruise flings up a gun that was stuck in the sand and finds a way to do a dive in the sand and avoid a shot and shoot the villian. Just terrible.

That and any scene from either one of the XXX movies.

I flipped on HBO yesterday evening to this exact scene in the movie that you guys have been describing, and I cackled like a heyena.
