One Scene Movies

[Dagger75]

The last Matrix movie, when the ship is flying through the tunnels and the sewers.

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.

And mine. It was quite spectacular.

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 never saw the film, but the fun folks who worked at the local 2nd-run theater a few years back would occasionally show that scene (unannounced) during the Coming Attractions. No voiceover, no credits, just BANG! Then the actual, announced film would start. Half of the audience wouldn't know what to make of it; the rest of us just laughed.

A movie so bad that I have forgotten the title... A Sex 'n' Surf in the Sun movie set on Hawaii, and in one corner of the male lead's home is a small shrine with a statue of Great Cthulhu!

I watched the entire darned movie for the statue of Cthulhu to become important to the plot... and it never even got mentioned! Somebody in the props department just thought that it would be funny I guess...

The Auld Grump

Superman 3:

Spoiler

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

I love that scene!

"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.

Casshern has a couple good moments, but it's too pretentious. To paraphrase another review, if a major plot point in your film involves characters wandering around the mountains and stumbling upon an abandoned castle with an evil robot making factory in the basement, you shouldn't take yourself too seriously.

I still liked it better than Sky Captain, though.

For me, the "it" scene is the Neo Sapien creation, when they start crawling out of the vat.

Back to the topic at hand, I'd have to say the Planet Of The Apes remake. The only thing that sticks out is when the ape girl was writing with her feet.

The fight with Darth Maul at the end of TPM.

Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. sucked (although it had the best looking Mothra in years), but I did like the scene with the old man from the original Mothra.

The final fight on the plane in Die Another Day was good. Probably one of the best Bond villain deaths.

And I liked the design of Frankenstein in Van Helsing. Okay, that's not really a scene, but that's the best thing I can say about that movie.

In my Sophomore year of High School, we watched the Made-For-TV Film Version of The Odyssey. As it stretched on, and on, and on, it became quite apparent what everyone in class was waiting for.

Finally, Odysseus escaped the Cyclops, the nymphs, crawled back onto his island, became an old man, had a few monologues, and then- Killed Everyone. It was total pre-Kill-Bill-Kill-Billistic action, and after the last body fell to the ground, the teacher turned off the movie and said, "Alright, everyone can go now."

I think there was a good half hour left to the film still.

I don't know if that quite defines a "one-scene" movie, but it was funny nonetheless.

Pearl Harbor: Most of the movie focuses on a boring love triangle. However, the actual Pearl Harbor bombing sequence is visually stunning and very exciting.

Matrix Reloaded on the freeway.
