(I've ranted about this before) any scene which involves American law enforcement pointing their guns at someone who also has a gun in hand -- and the American law enforcement don't shoot.

Instead, per the script, they flipping negotiate.

Real American cops ALWAYS shoot first & talk later.

The bad guy doesn't even need to have a firearm to get shot. US cops are very trigger-happy (unless faced with white right wing militia blabbing on about 2nd amendment, of course)

I watched The Deep End of the Ocean on Netflix last night. A mother sees a boy who looks like her child who went missing as a toddler years ago. The next morning he's taken into police custody. Just like that, no police investigation first, based on a resemblance. Then what seems like a couple of days later he's ripped from his step father (who did nothing wrong) and sleeping in their house, with apparently no social services intervention or gradual transition or counselling or anything. It was really a rubbish film in so many ways.

The entire live action Lion King, what a colossal waste of my time and money that cinema trip was!

Interstellar when Matthew McConaughey flies into the black hole and instead of getting torn into a millions atoms by the extreme gravity, finds himself next to his daughters bookcase in her childhood bedroom and communicates a lengthy equation to her back through time and via the medium of the second hand of her watch which is placed on said bookcase.

When Harry met sally that cafe seen every one thinks is hilarious just 🤮

Matt Damon doing his massive space conkers moment in The Martian.

Ripley opening the door for a cat in Alien. She’d never have done that.

The whole of Face/Off.

Yes 😂 so unnecessarily aggressive. And cringe.
Sexykitten2005 · 14/10/2020 22:26

ALL of the action parts of Red. In fact the whole film. But I had to pause and rant for a while over the bit where Bruce Willis steps out the spinning car and it’s bumper misses him by an inch...

gabsdot45 · 14/10/2020 22:28

We watched Alita :Battle angel the other day.
There is a bit at the end where her part robot boyfriend gets mangled and all his arms and legs fall off and he's a little robot body with the boyfriends head. Then he tragically falls off the big machine they're on to his "death" with a stupid tragic expression on his face.
I thought it was hilarious.

In Pirates of the Caribbean, there’s a string quartet playing, but none of the instruments have strings on them!

Terrible Xmas movie, "Road to Christmas", heroine walks in on her boyfriend in bed with his male secretary. He sits up and claims they were going over the seating plan for the wedding! Stark naked!

911: lone star.

Kid is having an asthma attack, off duty paramedic turns up, intubates him without any sort of sedation then ten minutes later the kid's just fine and talking normally.

No fucking way.

"That'll keep you in curry for a few weeks," when James Bond gives an Indian boy a tip in Octopussy. At least I think it's Octopussy.

Fluffmonkey82 · 14/10/2020 22:41

Mark Wahlberg talking to a plastic plant in The Happening. When he realises he is talking to a plastic plant instead of a real one he continues to talk to it. Everyone knows a plastic plant will not respond...

@EdwardCullensBiteOnTheSide

Not a film, but the tram crash in corrie sticks in my mind as the shittest attempt at cgi ever!
The plane crash in Emmerdale would give it a good run for its money though!
Qwertybertie87 · 14/10/2020 22:46

The end of fatal attraction where she give Michael Douglas a big cuddle after all the bloody shit he caused, I'd have taken the jaw off him Angry

@Maireas

The point in several hundred films where some gorgeous young woman is sexually attracted to some rancid old bloke.
Have you not omitted the word 'rich'?
SkaraBrae · 14/10/2020 22:49

Oldie moment but Anthony Hopkins post stroke in Legends of the Fall.
My sister and I (v early 20s) were crying with laughter.
My mother thought we were completely heartless.

SkaraBrae · 14/10/2020 22:51

Also any sex scenes when they don't seem to remove their trousers/skirts/underwear, there's about 3 seconds of vague thrusting and the woman audibly orgasms?

Isitrainingihadntnoticed · 14/10/2020 22:55

Rosie Huntington whiteley in the transformers film the dark moon where she falls through several buildings etc but at the end she barely has a mark on her.

All of Sex and the city 2.

Saving Private Ryan when a whole squad is sent to save Mrs Ryan from losing another son.

The Rock in San Andreas walking into the supermarket that’s being looted, lifting the first T-shirt he comes across and it fitting him!The size of him!!

There was hardly anything believable in that film.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 14/10/2020 23:05

I love Dirty Dancing, but the bit where they put a record on in before the big dance and it’s a very obviously 80’s song in the 1960’s does my nut in. Also everyone wouldn’t have politely vacated the stage for a sacked employee.

There's always an empty parking space right outside the bar/restaurant/shop you're visiting on a busy main street, somehow.
