Dumbest Scene Ever in a Movie - RedsZone.com - Cincinnati Reds Fans' Home for Baseball Discussion

A couple of buddies and mine were talking about Ocean's 12 and how the Julia Roberts looking like, uh, Julia Roberts scene was perhaps the dumbest scene we've ever seen in a movie. So what's your dumbest scene?

Since I can't nominate the entire movie The Big Lebowski, I nominate the one above.

I caught the end of Transformers last night on the tube.

I nominate that... nothing worse than movie based on a toy line, written by guys who never had an original idea that didn't involve their pop culture addled life.

Any Godfather III scene with Sofia Coppola.

Her death scene alone killed the movie.

Not a bad choice. The scene with the helicopter and the attempted massacre of all the mob heads was pretty ridiculous as well.

Red Dawn (which they are remaking) invaded by Cuba... ummmmm yeah.... sure right....

Probably would've been better off leaving this movie "in production."

Picking on bad movies is easy.

How about the "alien" scene in Monty Python's "Life of Brian." Great movie, but this scene served no purpose, really.

Star Wars Epidose I.

Young Anakin Skywalker accidentally gets trapped in a Naboo starfighter during a firefight, accidentially blows up some destroyer droids, accidentally flies into space, accidentially lands in exactly the right hanger in the enemy mothership, and then accidentally blows it up. The only thing that could have improved this comedy of movie-making would have been if Anakin had somehow found a way to blow up Jar Jar Binks in the process.

It wasn't luck ... it was the force.

Sounds like it's being made by the same folks who wrote the Mighty Ducks 3, which I think is the one where they decided the big bad evil country should be Iceland. Maybe instead of Red Dawn, they should remake The Mouse that Roared. These days the actions of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick are more realistic than some of the convoluted ideas movie producers are coming up with.

Yep. Mighty Ducks 3 was at the boarding school in Minnesota.

I will have no more of this Mighty Ducks bashing.

I was not a fan of the Captain Howdy images from The Exorcist. In my opinion, they added nothing to the plot and were not at all scary.

I thought that was one of the scariest things I had ever seen.
