As I was driving today, for no reason in particular, I was thinking about movies. A question came to mind--what is the fakest, most unbelievable scene in a movie, ever? It has to be a generally OK movie otherwise. The death star transforming into a big vacuum in Spaceballs doesn't count. Also, Tremors doesn't count, because that could really happen.
Here are the three I came up with, in order.
3. Batman Begins--they have this weapon which vaporizes water like a mile away, but doesn't turn your legs into dust when you walk in front of it. Maybe they had special pants.
2. Startrek Generations--They launch this missle into the sun. It takes like 10 seconds to hit the sun, and you can see it for the first 7. It took 7 seconds to get out of sight, then 3 seconds later, you see the sun blow up. Wow, that sun must have been really, really, really, really close. I have no problem with the time travel, Vulcan mind melds, Spock coming back to life, or talking whales, but THAT was fake.
1. Speed--Going uphill, the bus jumps 100 feet to clear the missing section of freeway. Any questions?
There have to be some other good ones out there. Give me (NATE) your thoughts.

ReplyDelete... also, on Independence Day --- Sure a laptop can hack into an alien server and infect their technology with a virus capable of anhilliating an entire armada of spaceships.
ReplyDeleteOh wait.
It was a Mac.
Yeah, I could see that happening.
I withdraw my comment. ;)
Here are my contributions for the poll:
ReplyDelete3. The Great Muppet Caper--Miss Piggy riding a motorcycle through the plate glass window? I don't think so.
2. Star Trek Insurrection--Data inflates himself to save 300 year-old lady who "never got around to learning how to swim."
1. Independence Day--They detonate the nuclear bomb inside the mothership and are caught in the blast. They loose control, communication, and crash! And instead plummeting to the bottom of some ocean (ya know, 75% of earth's surface is covered by it) they just coincidentally land a 5 minute drive from where there loved ones are waiting to make out with them.
One of your mom's favorite....Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the people flying through the air on wires.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, interesting, some thoughts that came into my mind:
ReplyDelete#3 Pirates of the Carribean 2--who would believe that Keira would choose orlando over Jonny Depp. Come on, how cute is he.
#2 Snakes on A Plane--Basic premise is solid, but everyone knows that snakes are particularly affected by changes in altitude, despite cabin pressurization.
#1 Johnny Lingo - 8 cows?! Unbelieveable!
How about flying DeLoreans? Come on, that would NEVER happen.
ReplyDeleteUm...really though, I'll have to think about this one.
Today at the video store I saw Snakes On Trains...
