Scenes that didn't make sense or just bothered you.

I'll start with 3. And photo or clip of scene if you can.

1. First Blood when Rambo goes through cave and encounters rats. He screams and freaks out and yells, yet he is being followed by an army trying to kill him and he is a elite warrior.



2. Lonesome Dove when a tiny sliver of mesquite wood almost killed Jake while Lorena was relaxing in the creek. Finally Danny Glover (Deets) rides up and pulls out the splinter and saves Jake Spoon's life. What the hell was Lorena doing all this time? And she loves him. (couldn't find a photo)

3)Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Grandpa Joe's bed. It's silly, you have another couple's feet right in your face. I'm just speaking of the bed itself, not the idea that he is bedridden and then becomes suddenly healed once Charlie finds the golden ticket (as many comedians have pointed out).

Let's take a deeper look at this. Rambo has been through it all. Several tours. Like 60 confirm kills. He is a highly tactical and trained warrior. The National Guard just blew up the mine he was hiding in. They believe he is dead. Rambo is running for his life. He encounters a pool of rats and screams. He didn't even scream when he dodged rifle fire and jumped off a cliff onto a damn pine tree or when he killed a cop with a rock minutes before.

Lost in translation final scene. Watched for 2 hours and they won't reveal most important line. I felt cheated.

This was obviously done to illustrate how poor the family was.

There's one line in Forrest Gump where Tom Hanks doesn't sound like Gump but more like Tom Hanks

After he drags Lt. Dan to safety.He's going back and Lt.Dan orders him to stay.

Gump hollars "I gotta find Bubba",with no accent at all.

That always bothers me out of a great performance,great movie,and my favorite book.

"Being an idiot is no box of chocolates."

That's the 1st line of the book.

Wasn't he a POW in Nam with PTSD? Maybe rats triggered something

He is an elite warrior who can fight an entire army but one bite from a rat could kill you dead with disease. There is reason to fear rats, especially a pool of them.

The old people in one bed illustrates how poor they are, pretty easy to see that.

As big a Tombstone fan as I am, I never did understand why they felt the need to cast Jason Priestly as a gay dude in that movie. His character added absolutely zilch to the plot.

Just like Behan he was the "law" in the county. The Cowboys liked him bc they could push him around and get away with whatever they wanted. Maybe that was the only way he'd be accepted by anyone.

I'm talking about the character, not the casting priestly.

She was just a sporting girl looking for a way out. She figured out what Jake was and wasn't about half way to Austin.

The scene in "Get Him To The Greek" where Russell Brand, Hill and Hill's GF almost have a threesome. Just a very odd and unfunny scene to an overall funny movie
