"Great Scenes in Forgettable Movies" Draft

[revo]

1.01 - the end scene reveal in "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone"

The movie was pretty meh and very forgettable, but the illusion reveal at the end was an absolute hysterical classic.

If you haven't seen the movie -- and there's really no good reason to besides the ending -- the trick they performed that wowed the casino manager (played by James Gandolfini) was having the audience be in the theater at the start of the trick, but end up with them miraculously all sitting in the Vegas desert, all seemingly in a matter of seconds. This post-credits scene shows how they really did it.

1.02 - Feyd-Rautha death in original Dune movie.

Yeah, this movie was an absolute slog, but any scene where Sting is killed? Oh, yeah.

1.03 - The fight scene from "Ted"

OK, maybe Ted wasn't forgettable -- it was actually quite funny -- but it's not like anyone lists it in their Top 10 or anything like that.

1.04 - Star Wars I - The Phantom Menace: Duel of the Fates

Little did we know at the time, 7/8/9 would be even more dreadful, but The Phantom Menace was pretty bad. Except for the greatest of the lightsaber duels in any of the Star Wars franchise, with kudos to Ray Park's Wushu skills.

Could Darth Maul have looked any more evil? I mean, were there people on his planet that didn't succumb to the dark side, and were just like, Social workers? or Delivering meals on wheels or whatnot? Librarian Maul?

They went through the story of his people in the cartoon (Star Wars Rebels, I think). The females of his species are all witches and his mother was the Queen Witch or whatever and gave him over to Darth Sidius to become an apprentice. His people allied with the Sith and against the Jedi very early on. If I recall, his people (the Doth-something or other) were created by combining humans with Zath-something or others. Most of them don't have that crazy red skin - they're gray. The witch women run the show and the men are just bred to fight.
