One Scene Movies

[TheAuldGrump]

One Scene Movies, those horrible, bad, awful moves that completely stink... except for one scene. I have blacked out the spoilers, just in case somebody wants to see these turkeys...

Two of my examples - Sword & the Sorcerer, the opening scene as the villain, witch, and henchmen enter the Sorcerer's crypt. That was a great scene, but the rest of the movie? Blech!

Teenwolf, where Michael J. Fox's character is trying not to explain his problems to his dad through the bathroom door, changing into a werewolf as he speaks... Finally he opens the door, and Dad is a werewolf too... Rest of the movie? Yech!

What other one scene classics are out there?

The Auld Grump, bored at work... can you tell?

When the evil CEO is trying to figure out who hacking into the employee account, and Richard Prior(SP?), a brand new guy just there a couple of weeks, pulls up in a new ferrarri.

GREAT

Deep Blue Sea: When Samuel L. Jackson delivers his impassioned "man against nature" speech and there is a moment's pause, and then

Spoiler

the giant mutant shark reaches out of the water and bites him in half.

I cracked up at that scene. Rest of the movie - crap!

I beg to differ. Even if you dislike most of the movie (I liked it), one cannot deny the appeal of Saffron Burrows stripping out of her wetsuit. I have a great deal of admiration for the scriptwriter who managed to work that into the movie in a semi-plausible way.

There was some chick flick five or six years ago; I can't remember the name, but I think it was something like Meet Joe Black? Anyway, the movie sucked. But seeing Brad Pitt get hit by a car was kinda cool!

I'll also lump Goldeneye in here. The rest of the movie didn't suxx0rz per se, but nothing else held a candle to the tank chase through the streets of St. Petersburg.

I have to second that. It was the only scene in the movie where they actually played the Bond theme music. I think that's a big reason why it kicked butt.

Some would lump Rob Roy in this category. The story is rather so so but the end fight rocked.

In Mr Deeds when suddenly the whole staff starts singing Is there life on Mars? in the aeroplane. I can't remember anything else from that one.

Yeah, that was "Meet Joe Black".

And on "Goldeneye" - its my favorite of the Pierce era. Pre-credit sequence was awesome. The credit sequence itself was awesome. All in my personal opinion of course.

"Casshern" is a one scene movie for me too. Just love the robot fight sequence in the middle and that's pretty much about it.

Wow, I was the opposite on this one -- I thought the movie was good, but that the final duel was badly done. **shrug** Different tastes.
