Most Ridiculous Movie Moments of 2008

[Sussudio]

Yahoo has posted a great feature about the most ridiculous movie moments of 2008, including examples such as Indiana Jones surviving a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge, the

[Show spoiler]Charlize Theron/Will Smith

fight in Hancock, and listing the entire "Happening" movie as one moment all in itself.

Check it out: http://movies.yahoo.com/photos/colle...idge/fp#photo0

Any more you can think of? Shout em out.

i read that a few hours. it was one of yahoo's more entertaining lists. i agreed with everything (for the movies i saw anyway)

[Iceberg]

Nice find!

[ScarredLungs]

I read that as well. I agree with the list yahoo gave us.

i was able to forgive the Indy 4 fridge scene b/c of the unrealistic scenes that appeared in the 1st 3 movies.

i do have to agree w/the Mummy Yetti field goal scene. that make my stomach turn. i wonder what goes through an actor's/directors/writers mind when a scene like that is shot. do they think it'll be funny or are they secretly keeping quite on the stupidity???

For me, Shia swinging on the vines with the monkeys was way more ridiculous than the nuclear blast/fridge scene.

[Crim122]

The fact that certain movies were even released in theater and not straight to dvd.


But whatever I know its all for the money

+1 for sure. Completely ridiculous. That was the point when we all looked away from the movie and at each other.

I hate when people who make lists do stuff like this. It's a cheat. Yeah, we get it. The Happening was one big disappointment. But it's not a movie moment. And listing it as one isn't funny.

BTW, I'm not trying to defend The Happening. I'm just whining about a pet peeve. I'll move along now....

So Keanu Reeves speaking Spanish made the list huh?

[thedarkangel1975]

he speaks Chinese in The Day The Earth Stood Still I believe

[Galley]

The movie was OK, but the Yeti field goal was ridiculous.

I don't understand. Spielberg is a smart man, how could he think for a second that putting Indy in a fridge in the middle of a nuclear blast would be enough to let him come out unscathed ? Or did this stroke of stupidity come from George Lucas ?

What about bringing a mummy back from the dead on beatles that eat you like pirhannas? come on people. All action movies have unreal stuff in them.

Depends what kind of Fridge it is? Think of the time period they were shooting in. The 1950's. They had big iron fridges not the plastic ones today.

You're joking right ? FYI, A thermonuclear blast would have melted your iron fridge like a cube of ice in the desert heat. A plastic fridge would have been disintegrated. With a nuclear blast it would not matter that the fridge be made of magic pixie powder or cotton candy. We are talking about a nuclear blast here.

doesn't matter, it still probably would have been destroyed. even if he survived the blast, the radiation would get him.

I thought Indy hiding in the fridge was overkill, according to all the 60's safety videos all you have to do in the event of a nuclear blast is duck and cover. Simple really.

I've heard about this "duck and cover" instruction in case of a nuclear blast. But that thing is totally incomplete, the complete instruction should be "duck, cover and die". Now who said that governments don't have a sick sense of humor.

Yes I was being sarcastic. Think of the other three movies before that. Jumps out of the plane with a rubber raft etc. All the movies have an outrageous moment. Crawls under a moving truck while it is goinat at least 60 mPH. My whole point is, that all movies have outrageous sequences that can never happen.

How about the Boondock Saints where the one brother jumps off the building while carrying a toilet to save his other brother?
