Good scenes in bad movies?

[Crow T. Robot]

Sometimes a really bad movie can still have a memorable scene in it. In "Hangar 18," a REALLY bad movie about a recovered flying saucer (it was so bad that Mystery Science Theatre did a show on it in their infant season), there was a scene where the scientists had just figured out how to play back the video stored in the flying saucer. It was a fast moving video of Earth's landmarks, with an alien-language "subtitle" running under it, and it had an eerie quality that really impressed me. It seemed like what you WOULD find in an alien saucer, a recorded survey of the planet they were exploring, planning to invade, or whatever. The rest of the movie is pretty bad. Anybody have other examples?

[Johnny Pneumatic]

The Bobba Fett fight scene in Ep.2 was cool. But a lot of the movie
looks like a video game.

[Frostbite]

Yeah I think Ep.1 and Ep.2 are good examples. They're horrific movies but some of the scenes are swell.

[Mr Manifesto]

ID4 is a steaming pile of crap, but the scene where the explosion surges up the city street while the crowd tries to flee is pretty cool. I believe this scene has been ripped off a few times by other films as well (most recently that one about global warming or whatever... Day After Tomorrow?)

In that case they're ripping themselves off because it's the same people making it.

I guess if an idea's good, it's worth recycling, huh? :D :D

[Frostbite]

Armageddon was one of the worst movie I've ever seen but the first 20 minutes where you see meteors smashing things is swell.

[Hexxenhammer]

"Fire in the Sky" a movie about the Travis Walton(?) guy who claimed to have been abducted by aliens in the 70's is terrible, but the scene where he wakes up in the spaceship and floats around is really creepy and disturbing.

[Nyarlathotep]

I absolutely despised The Matrix Reloaded (as did most of the rest of the movie watching public), but I thought that the fight scene on the freeway was pretty good. IT was the only point in which I had any hope for that film and the rest of the movie cruelly dashed those hopes, alas.

[Frostbite]

I liked Reloaded for what it was: the link between a ground-breaking first movie and a potentially ground-breaking finale; i.e. an action flic. I tihnk it's the Matrix Trilogy's Empire Strikes Back. Little storyline, lots of action, the whole storyline didn't advance much. But Revolutions turned out to be a huge disappointment to me and that doesn't help Reloaded.

[Nigel]

Not so much a scene, but a line. In the original Walking Tall, Sheriff Buford Pusser (one of MST3K's favorite actors, Joe Don Baker) walks into a bar and starts looking around.
Barmaid: "Where's your warrant?"
Pusser: "I keep it in my shoe!"
(Pusser kicks a door down.)

It was funny the first time I saw it.

Definately, disagree with you on Reloaded. I enjoyed it, the freeway was very intense. Waiting for the box set.

I think The Big Lebowski is full of this concept. The characters are great, the dialogue is top notch, quotable and funny but the story/plot is so weak as to be non existant.

I thought Hellboy was similar. The characters are cooler than the movie.

I refer to these as "background only" movies. Other examples are Buckaroo Banzai and Repo Man. Both great, in my opinion, but the plots are totally irrelevant.

Flowers in the Attic was quite the worst film, except for a scene where a woman swoops round a corner. I saw the film with a gang of others and we all said that the only part worth the entrance money.

In my opinion, "The Big Lebowski" was great, was as good as it could be and was better then I thought it would be. I think that it is one of the greatest movies ever made.

In that new David Mamet movie "Spartan" which I didn't like for the simple reason that I could not understand what was going on in it, there's a scene where Val Kilmer's character sneaks into these bad guys' house and when he is in a room with a TV on but no-one in it, one of the bad guys walks in and sees him and says, "What the f%ck", and Val Kilmer's character tries to come up with a reason he is in there by saying, "Why's the TV on? I was outside and I noticed that the TV was on, but no-one was in here. I was wondering why the TV was on when no-one was watching it."

[JAR]

Writing about the movie "Spartan" reminded me of another movie with Val Kilmer in it called "Island of the Dr. Moreau."

I thought the scenes with Marlon Brando in it were pretty funny although I don't think they were intended to be. I thought the scene where his beast-human creations come in to kill him and he tries to make them change their minds by going to the piano and talking and playing the first few notes to "Rhapsody in Blue" was very touching. There's also a good scene where Val Kilmer imitates Marlon Brando.

Reading this reminds me of yet another Val Kilmer movie, The Salton Sea. Not a bad movie but not that good either. A couple of great scenes, especially the ones that Vincent D'Onofrio is in. He played one of the strangest characters I have ever seen on film.

Yeah, I'm not sure what it is. Val Kilmer has this tendency to be in mediocre movies. When I was a kid and at that young age where I had an extremely difficult time separating the character from the actor who portrayed him, I thought he was really cool after seeing him as Madmartigan in the movie "Willow". I really liked "The Doors", although I've been told and have read on the internet that it's extremely inaccurate(as movies portraying history often are). I was told by my father that a member of the actual band called the movie, "Oliver Stone's fantasy of what it was like to be Jim Morrison."

And he also wrote the script for Midnight Express which was also very inaccurate. I think it's safe to say that Oliver Stone considers it okay to portray history the way he would like it to have happened.

Matrix Reloaded, freeway scene.

That movie is only watchable on DVD. Just skip to the good bits.

There's a 80's monster movie with Peter Fonda and I think Debra Raffin. Can't recall the name. The whole movie about searching the jungle for an answer to the mystery of the missing villagers was pretty good until the cheesy guys in rubber suits at the end. But the one scene that really stuck out was when Fonda called his co-star 'skinny'. The rant she went on about it was pretty good, and stole the whole movie. If the last 5 minutes could have been like the first 79 minutes, it would have been a pretty good adventure flick, at least as good as 'Congo' or 'High Risk' (Lindsay Wagner).

One bad film with a good scene was "Batman & Robin". At the time I wasn't the Batman fan I am now so when I read the bad reviews for the film, it wasn't difficult to ignore it while it played in theaters. But for whatever reason I decided to watch it on video. Awful! The only scene I found likeable (aside from those that allowed me to ogle Alicia Silverstone) was at the end when Batman informs Mr. Freeze that he can continue his research to find a cure for his wife, Nora. The Batman isn't without compassion and after all the bizarre, mindless/dumb goings-on in plot, character development, direction, etc. it was nice to see that the film actually had a touching scene. Too bad it too wasn't better executed in a much better film.

[DrMatt]

Somewhere deep in a potboiler about outer-space creatures from Venus, there's this strange, nonsensical discussion between a husband who has aided and abetted the aliens, and his wife. The allegation being made by the wife is that once the aliens take over, romance will be gone and any guy who wants a girl will just pay for it. Somehow, the dialog leads the guy to say "but that will make everything so easy", in response to which the gal says "but I WANT it to be hard!" I'm convinced the whole movie was intended to set up that one line.

[Mr Manifesto]

If you can discipline yourself to forget about how stupid the rest of the movie is, there are some genuinely creepy scenes with Vampira. Sometimes it frustrates me to think of how wasted she was.

edit to add It's early in the morning in Aus, and in my fatigue I've forgotten to actually include the title of the movie I'm referring to. 10 bucks to the film geek who can figure out which flick I'm talking about.

That's Banjo f***ing Patterson. If you've ever seen a God-damned movie called "The Man from Snowy River", he wrote the poem it's based upon. How an author of some of the worst examples of doggerel became a national icon is anyone's guess.

Speaking of which, Quigley Down Under is a bad movie with a few good scenes. All the gun stuff is pretty cool, Alan Rickman is a great bad guy, and the final shootout is really funny. But according to the movie there don't seem to be any decent australians, Aborigines can't talk, and crazy infanticide prone women are hilarious.

I think most of the Batman series sucked royally. However, my favorite scene in all of them came in the 3rd movie (Batman forever?) Batman and Robin were trying to attack the enemie's sea fortress and got shot down. After they wash up on some old wreck:
Robin: Holy rusted metal Batman!
Batman: What did you say?
Robin: This metal, its all rusted and full of holes.

Well, I'm a person that is incompetent at following plots. I have a hard time understanding the plot when I watch "The A-Team."

After I saw the movie, my younger brother explained to me what went on in the film. In the movie, the daughter of the president was abducted because these guys who sold women as sex slaves or something or other mistakenly thought her blond hair which was dyed, was naturally blond. I misunderstood that part of the plot and thought she was abducted because these guys wanted to ransom her or something. When I was watching it, I wasn't quite sure why they abducted her.

I also failed to figure out from what was said in the film that they were able to abduct her because her father was using her secret service men to act as lookouts while he committed an act of adultery. Thus, I was completely lost in the part where her father has her death faked to stop attempts to find her.

[JesFine]

I enjoyed Spartan myself, but it was pretty confusing. Mamet has a way of just throwing you right in the middle and you have to sink or swin. He is very good at devising plot twists that do not seem contrived, which is pretty difficult to do.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a good scene in a bad movie, probably because one good scene is often enough to make me declare a move "good".

I may mention the scene in Joe vs. the Volcano, when Joe is on a raft in the middle of the ocean and a huge moon appears in the night sky and Joe reaches out to it and says "Oh God, whose name I do not know, thank you for my life". Wow! I wish I saw that in the theater.

But, I actually thought JvtV was a great movie, so I am just putting this scene out there because apparently there are a few people who thought the movie sucked.

A movie that missed more than it hit was Volunteers with Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, John Candy & B-Movie fav Tim Thomerson (Trancers).

2 great scenes in the film were when Hanks whines about the locals: "It's not that I can't help them...I don't WANT to."

The other scene(s) were when Tim Thomerson talked to his knife: "See Bob...I knew she'd like it."

I really don't remember anything about the movie except for that one scene. I figure it's my brain activating certain safety features to prevent me from killing myself.

I just remembered this today - about 20 years ago or so, Peter Falk made a movie about female pro wrestlers called "All the Marbles". The one scene that's stuck with me was Falk was getting revenge on his enemy, and took a baseball bat to the guy's Mercedes. He was bashing the tail lights, the windows, anything he could hit.

"Why are you doing that?" someone (one of his wrestlers?) asks.
"I was thinking of buying a Mercedes, and wanted to give it a stress test. (Pause) Didn't pass."

When Candy was in Thomerson's helo and screaming into the mic like he had to so everyone could hear him.

And, if I may, I believe Thomerson's knife was named Mike.

Red Dawn with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray is probably one of the biggest piles of nonsense you'll ever see. High school kids defeating paratroopers and elite Russian forces. And America doesn't use nukes because they're just too nice for that. Whatever.

Yet, there was one scene I thought was pretty cool, and it's a concept that should be used more often. When the kids look out the classroom window to see the paratroopers landing in the field, they flee as the paratroopers open fire. Except one kid, who appears to be still looking out the window. The camera pans around, and we figure out he's dead.

Mind you, the same idea was used in Full Metal Jacket when the soldiers walking behind the tank were ambushed. And that was a much better movie than Red Dawn. But then, so was Santa Claus vs the Martians.

[Hexxenhammer]

I love Red Dawn. It's hilarious. The best actor in the whole movie is the soft hearted Cuban officer who lets that big baby Patrick Swayze run away at the end. And he doesn't even speak English!

Funniest scene is when Jennifer Grey gets shot by the Russian helicopter and she flails around. We would rewind that scene over and over again and laugh and laugh.

Anybody remember "We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story"? It's a perfectly mediocre animated movie from a few years back. It's entirely inconsequential except for about sixty seconds near the end of the move, where the villian is left alone in the dark and devoured by a flock of ravens. Really, really creepy.

As for a really good scene in an otherwise unforgettable (if not particularly bad) movie, I'll vote for the scene in The Man in the Iron Mask where the muskteers charges the gun-line.

Then there is Ralph Bakshi's Wizards - a confusing and sloppily done animated movie; but the final show-down between the evil wizard and the good wizard is without equal.

it is entirely possible. if AP rounds were used they would probably have simply left half inch holes with little to no yaw in a human body. if no immediately fatal wounds were taken to vital organs, the victim may very well have been able to keep talking for a while.

TITANIC stinks - except for some of the scenes while the ship is sinking, and the bit near the end where the lifeboat paddles gently through a sea of frozen faces.

[Beanbag]

"Battle Beyond the Stars", where the tenuously strapped - in - leather female space jockey makes the comment, "You've never seen a Valkyrian go down." If you've never seen it, it's a sci-fi ripoff of the Magnificent Seven, which was a retelling of the Seven Samurai. I wonder if Robert Vaughn ever gets tired of replaying that part.

In a similar vein, there was "Message from Space", where the heroes are selected by the magic glowing lenabi nuts that somehow find their way to them across the void. The scene that SHOULD have been in the movie was some attractive female approaching the hero and saying, "excuse me, but do you know you've got nuts that glow?"

Let's just leave it at "Titanic stinks". Honestly, the only "emotional" momment in the film (I was working for a jeweller at the time) was "Don't drop the rock, you stupid cow."

I liked more than just the ending on "Wizards"... like the "They killed Fritz" scene. Then there was Larry the Frog, Necron 99/Peace, and the Ian Miller backgrounds for Scorch...

"Lake Placid" is another film that has some great moments... mostly because the of the dialogue (Betty White: "If I had a dick this is where I'd tell you to suck it"), but it also wins the 'Best "huge crocodile eating a bear" Scene' Oscar.

-Will Wheaton geting eaten by a snake in "Python"
-The dissolving cop/ imploding phonebooth scene in the '87 remake of "The Blob" (a worthwhile B movie that is too often overlooked)
-The ending of "Deep Blue Sea": What does a shark with the brain the size of a car engine think about? "Out."

hmmm.. I seem to watch a lot of films that involve people being eaten... ;)

Kirk is trying to free climb the half-dome at Yosemite. Spock is hovering next to him in 'rocket boots', whispering encouragement and advice into his ear.

OK, I'll take a shot at getting a rise out of Australians while staying on topic: how about "Young Einstein," the comic gem of a bad movie starring the venerable Yahoo Serious. It's been years since I've seen it, but I do recall laughing uproariously at a scene in which our hero catches sight of a bad guy tucking mewing kittens into a pie and then slipping it into a gigantic oven.

Not sure if I would still think it's funny, but the memory still makes me giggle a little bit.
