I can't find a better example (it is worse earlier in the film) but Steven Seagal's attempt at a mexican accent in Machete:

Commando. Chocked full of them, e.g.:

Armie opening the bonnet to his jeep to find that some wires had been cut, but the props guys had blatantly just dumped a random bunch of wires under the bonnet.

Bennett getting zapped on the electric fence (in a basement?!!) which then somehow gives him superhuman strength and is able to rip a cast iron door off a furnace

Bennetts's leather trousers and chain mail vest. S and M on a bad guy!?


Plus countless others...including the ten extras that they keep killing just wih different stick on facial hair and wigs.
Suggest you google "40 things I learned from commando"

How about the bit where he is firing the M60 which is almost out of bullets then in the next shot the belt is about 3 feet long!

Or the guy who gets shot and falls off a roof and lands on a blue crash mat!

Or the cardboard dummies outside the buildings which are blown to bits by claymore mines.(which just fire out steel balls to kill people if anyone doesnt know)

Or the springboards which throw people up in the air everytime a grenade goes off!

Or the yellow porsche which is smashed to fk when Arnold gets in and in the next scene it is pristine!

Or when Arnold puts his flak jacket on with no paint on his body but when he takes it off later he does!

The red car they follow sully in actually changes models from shot to shot FFS!

The stunt double who jumps off the airport buggy that looks nothing like arnie whatsoever!!

I could go on forever just from memory! I loved this film as a kid but it is so badly made it is hillarious!

For me it has to be that bit in Predator where they unload an impossible amount of ammunition into nothing in particular, other than jungle, despite the fact that these guys are supposedly the best of the best.

Cracks me up every time.
That's one of the most memorable scenes from movies of that era.

The scene in Where Eagles Dare where the German tries to scare the American General with the line...

"The Lieutenant, here, is a trained nurse."

Love the film, but always have a giggle at that.

Nic Cage in City of Angels.

Angel has last fling on earth for a limited time, falls in love, goes back to heaven and gives up his immortality to be with girl, returns to earth to find she's been killed in accident.

PMSL.

Most of Inglourious Basterds after the good bit at the start.

It could have been so much more.

The train crash scene from Super 8. Steven Spielburg film but more like bloody Michael Bay. Thought it explained it well though when the credits popped up and said that JJ Abrams was involved.

Any American car chase movie where the cars are destroyed and continuity sees them magically repair themselves, replace wheel hubs, mirrors, change into different cars altogether etc... Death Race 2000 particularly had the green Mustang obviously filmed out of sequence as damage came and went.

Strother Martin in Cool Hand Luke, "What...we've got here is...failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So we get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it. WELL, HE GETS IT!" The way he delivers those lines cracks me up every time.

Top Gun where they are flying inverted and he snaps a picture of the Russian Mig. The scene of the two cockpits so close that its just laughably silly, makes me laugh like a scene from Naked Gun or Police Squad! where they are deliberately bad in showing Frank driving a car against a background film. Almost a shame given the air-to-air footage is rather good.

There's dialog in that scene? I usually concentrate on something else when I watch that film.

Just remembered a totaly serious scene that cracks me up every time.

Last of the mohicans.

Magua fights Uncas and kills him. so sad right?

Magua's hostage then walks to teh cliff and jumps off killing herself. Double sad.

However mogua's exprestion cracks me up every time. Its like 'meh whatever'.

Just watched the first Alien film on bluray, it was all looking great and timeless until the baby alien popped out of the guys stomach... The way it looks around bowing to the crew before it scoots off at high speed had us in stitches smile

Good call. Watched it on Blu Ray recently myself and that bit made me laugh out loud.

Wasnt anywhere near as good a film as I remembered it being. Shame.
