Watch John Frankeneimer's Against The Wall. Clarence Williams III and Samuel L Jackson lead the Attica prison uprising, Kyle MacLachlan plays one of the guards captured during the siege. The cast is pretty loaded and the movie gets pretty nuts. "HOT SOUP MOTHERFUCKERS!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikStcnmoSXU

got any sevens posted:The weird alien cover names in Buckaroo Banzai that are never explained There's so much in Buckaroo Banzai that is never explained (like the watermelon) but the weird thing is that there's a good chance there is an explanation for at least some of that stuff. The scriptwriter Earl Mac Rauch spent years and years writing a whole bunch of different Buckaroo Banzai adventures and creating backstories for all the characters before he finally got a script finished so there's tons and tons of unreleased info on the Buckaroo Banzai milieu out there somewhere.

I love Buckaroo Banzai's end credits, which are weird, have cool music and Jeff Goldblum dressed as a garish cowboy.

There are two places where they explain some of the stuff, the novelization which was written by Rauch and one of the later home releases has a subtitle track which is just little trivia bits about the movie. Both the book and the trivia track go with the conceit that everything actually happened. The book was written by one of the Hong Kong Cavaliers and the movie is supposed to have been made in universe.

Not specifically a “weird” moment but I’ve always loved Peter Sellers breaking the fourth wall at the end of A Shot in the Dark during the big argument scene. Can’t find it on YouTube unfortunately. I think it’s one of the best examples.

In Jurassic Park, when the guests are on the Mr DNA tour watching the scientists working the eggs in the lab, and the lawyer pipes up with "Are... are these characters, uh, auto... erotica?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGdT37F_8jI&t=270s I don't know if the actor flubbed the line and meant to say "animatronic", if it was improvised, or intentionally written that way, but holy hell it's the moment I think of when I think Jurassic Park the movie not the franchise. Also a very nice character detail because he has no idea what he's talking about, he's just focused on the profit of whatever this weird poo poo he's watching is.

The Lost World has a lot of problems but the deadpan delivery of "How many Sarah's do you think are on this island?" at 0:22 remains one of my favorite punches of dialogue in any movie, ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd30dz17Zx8

As a kid watching Aliens I didn't initially catch /remember he was a synth so when he got impaled by the alien queen and ripped in half it was extra  because none of his insides looked human yet they were juicy and visceral enough to not explicitly look like a robot so I thought he was some other kind of weird alien that looked human on the outside.

Darko posted:People thought that with Ash when they first saw Alien as well because there was no development for androids at that point outside of the post hoc hints. What were the hints? Did he not eat or something? I know story wise Ash was the quintessential Company Man Wayland Yutani secretly used to spy on employees and look for alien stuff. What was so jarring was the white "blood" squirting everywhere (I wouldn't be shocked if this was some analogue for semen or something since there was so much subtle sexual imagery in the film). As a kid I thought it was milk because I thought I remember he drinks a glass of milk before he goes berserk . Fun observation: Ash was seen as creepy and sinister. So by Aliens Ripley has a Sarah Connor type paranoia about synths,yet Bishop is actually a nice robot who is very honest about his role, wins present at a point in time where synths aren't some secret. The Colonial Marines treat him as a novelty and his Robotness is revealed very early on with the drop of white "blood"on his finger . Then in Ressurection we come full circle, with Ripley8 figuring out Winonabot right away due to the fact that the second gen synths were meant to imitate human emotion so accurately they came off as super emo people in a pretty gritty and grimdark future where everybody else is a smarmy rear end in a top hat.

Cut scenes, he practiced human behavior by randomly running in place and keeping the alien on the ship and stuff. In movie, he was just aligned with a pro Alien agenda on rewatch, but no way you could tell first time.

The characters in Alien generally talk in a naturalistic way, kind of sloppy and occasionally hard to hear-- except for Ash. Every sentence of his is grammatically perfect, clipped and precise. The way he moves around is kind of fussily efficient, while the others sort of slouch and amble. Again, there's nothing in there that makes you go "That guy's a robot!", but there's definitely a difference between him and the others, which becomes obvious in hindsight.

I can't remember if it was only in the directors cut or a deleted scene, but Ripley and Lambert have a scene where they're discussing sleeping with the other crew members, and they mention Ash has never slept with either of them, and thought it was weird. I thought that was an interesting part that there was something 'off' about Ash, but not that he was an android.

TheBigBudgetSequel posted:The moment at the end of the clip where the underworld priest just looks up like "now what?" at the Deetzs is a great little moment that I've always found highly amusing. Same. I thought, "Uhh, is he stuck here? Beetlejuice summoned him, is he gonna just awkwardly scoot back out that door?" As a kid I didn't really pick up on the immigration joke with Beetlejuice trying to stay in the world of the living (hence needing to marry Lydia) until much later. He kind of mentions it in passing and the afterlife is set up as this big beaurocracy so it makes sense. I also find it funny how they address how stupid it is that saying his name 3 times since he seems to have no control over getting summoned or banished. quote:"Because if I tell you, you'll tell your friends, your friends are callin' me on the horn all the time, I gotta show up at shopping centers for openings and sign autographs and poo poo like that and it makes my life a hell . Okay? A living hell."

That loving slide whistle I also like the Three Stooges fight in Jack Reacher; the entire rest of the movie has nothing to do with the Stooges https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE0oDPBslUs (It does have Werner Herzog as the bad guy but he's in too much of the movie to really call it a weird "moment")

That piece of slapstick reminded me of the "delayed Quaaludes" scene in The Wolf of Wall Street. Especially the part where Belfort grabs some cocaine to regain control of his body, while a Popeye cartoon is playing on the television. I don't think I ever laughed harder in the cinema before and/or since. Here is a lovely quality version: https://vimeo.com/83905510 It's probably not really a weird moment in a movie like that tho.

Easy Diff posted:In Amazing Spider-Man 2 (the bad Garfield ones), the first fight with Electro in Times Square has this utterly bizarre, apparently diagentical Greek Chorus out of nowhere singing along with the score insulting Electro, like "they hate you, you're not spider-man, look at you, you're electro!" and it's so baffling different than anything I've ever seen. That whole scene, especially the music (that loving clarinet!), is wonderfully bonkers and intense. The ridiculously emotional crowd, the dramatic "boom boom boom" as the screens change, the literal dubstep powers. At least it was more interesting than the enjoyable-mush of every other spider-man movie. It doesn't work at all for a spider-man movie, and the goblin stuff is horrendous. Shoulda just been a standalone supervillain movie.

If I remember right wasn't this when there was the MTV guy or something, and he had all these ideas about how they can get XXXTREME with it. And the other one was Kevin Feige running down all the poo poo they should fix.
