To ask what is the most ridiculous movie moment you've seen

[HumanFemale1]

Or TV

Mine is

movie - Kevin Costner shouting "We all pee the same color!" in Hidden Figures

TV - Daenerys crowdsurfing on slaves in Game of Thrones

The moment in the climax of one of the Star Trek films - I can't remember which one - where our hero (Kirk or Picard) hurtles through the interior of an alien space ship, built by aliens, on an alien planet because he has to disarm the alien space ship from an alien culture's auto destruct mechanism and he rips off the panel covering the alien auto-destruct mechanism to find it ticking away .... in Arabic numerals. 5... 4... 3...

What @Elderflower14 said

@Varenne I struggle with season 2 as well, it's just ridiculous all the way through.

In truth, much of Outlander has a plot you could strain haggis through but the central premise of S2 is stupid. So you want to stop Culloden happening? Here's an idea, how about getting Charlie bumped off in/or around the Paris brothel where you found him with no friends and no money, rather than getting him near to the French king and getting him the army and money!!!

I do love the programme though, and it got better

@ShelbyCherryBlossom that has to be my favourite ridiculous film scene ever.

Forgot to add about Avatar and "unobtainium" that's it's also an obvious reference to uranium; highlighting nuclear energy Vs natural energy harnessing .. which is the whole underlying theme of avatar, isn't it.

Eat Pray Love for me also . Complete selfish ,self indulgent ,me me me rubbish from start to finish .Julia Roberts eating all that pasta. Awful film.

@SinisterBumfacedCat yes!! Thank god someone else is bothered by that part too.They are playing 80s music in a 60s film ffs noone in real life seems bothered by this fact,only me

@Goosefoot say what?! The ending was a fantasy ending? 😲

The flying car at the end of Grease. I do enjoy a cheesy musical but that was too much, even for me.

The double-decker bus taking a flying leap over the gap in an opening Tower Bridge in the Spice Girls movie well, all of it really, but that bit in particular

Any woman in a film who absolutely cries her eyes out.
Me. I look like Rudolph complete with mascara streaks, bloodshot eyes and a runny nose. My voice also wobbles like a jelly.
Them. Still perfectly made up without even the merest hint of bloodshot eyes or runny nose. Their voices don't change.

Spice World is a work of post-modernist ironic movie genius - I won't have a word said against it - especially the bit with Bob Hoskins.

The bit near the end of Conair when a jumbo jet thundered down the Strip in Las Vegas and nobody heard it coming and then that stupid fluffy rabbit appeared out of the drain right where the little girl was standing. It had been lost in the desert fhs! Stoopid

@Cattenberg

I’ve only seen a bit of Die Hard, but in the bit I did see, a bloke jumped out of a plane without a parachute in order to catch up with a parachutist and fight with him mid-descent .

That's not Die Hard, I suspect you mean Point Break. But yes, ridiculous (but entertaining!)

[quote yetanothernamitynamechange]@Needhelp101 OH god this. In particular in the TV show Lucifer where they are supposed to be having orgies etc but everyone mysteriously keeps their underwear on. Its part of a very wierd American (and I suppose also British) attitude towards sex which on the one hand is all "woooo orgies, lots of sex=sexy etc etc etc" but also very anti-nudity.[/quote]
Definitely.
I let my son watch a (very mild) episode of Sex and the City during lockdown and had to explain that women really don't keep their bra on in bed in real life. Comes to something when you're explaining no-nudity clauses in contracts (although he does want to be an actor so...) :)

@SilenceOfTheEmu

Eat pray love is the most ridiculously BORING film I have ever had the displeasure of sitting through - god it’s just self indulgent waffle! I love Julia Roberts and trashy films like pretty woman etc but fucking hell its terrible- it’s literally nearly impossible to stop myself rolling my eyes and groaning whenever she opens her mouth in that film.

Agree completely - self-indulgent crap. The opening scene where she's all "Oh wow is me" when basically she's just a bit bored whereas you would think she's being abused.

@SeasonallySnowyPeasant

Any film where they wake up and immediately have sex, no nipping to the loo and a quick tooth brush first.

I must say, I have done that loads of times. Judge me.

Every second of this movie, Zardoz. It really is worth clicking on the link. Best part is at the one minute mark where Connery falls into the prism.

And this is his outfit.

Oops.

What in gods name as I looking at there?!

am

She literally outruns a T-Rex in stilettos...because you know...that’s possible!!
In all fairness, T-Rexes probably arent used to wearing any sort of heel.

any movie where any actor searches a dark house/room where you know there is a mad axe murderer/terrorist/alien/wild rabid animal lurking

Just switch the light on

The bit in Titanic where Rose stands on the end of her toes in the party scene. Very few people can do this without proper supportive pointe shoes anyway, and it's really obvious that the feet in the film shot are not supporting any body weight at all. It's such a daft and unnecessary bit of the story
