[ QUOTE ]
Not really a scene: The Deer Hunter, we're led to believe that Nick has been in Southeast Asia playing Russian Roulette for money for however many years that section of the movie spans, and he stays alive until Mike gets there? He wins thousands of dollars to send back Steven flipping coins with his life without ever losing? It's not like it's a game of skill. Just a gross stretch of the imagination. [/ QUOTE ] SPOILER-When they are prisoners, Mike talks about willing an empty chamber into the gun or something like that. I think russian roulette is supposed to represent force of will. Which is why Mike wins when he plays Nick. Of course I could just be an idiot.

Re: Bad/stupid/improbable scenes of other wise good movies
in one of the star wars novels someone wrote a short story about how boba fett actually survives and rockets himself out of the pit. I read it about six years ago and can't remember the author or the book, but that is the version of the story I choose to believe. because Boba Fett is for badass.

Re: Bad/stupid/improbable scenes of other wise good movies
I don't know if this exactly qualifies, but I thought Changing Lanes was a great movie for the most part. It went completely hardcore until the end when they just kiss and make up. The final scence should have been Samuel J. taking a drink.

Re: Bad/stupid/improbable scenes of other wise good movies
** all the news footage in "Boondock Saints", especially the montage of people at the very end. it's so dumb and so poorly done that it lowers my opinion of the entire movie. i'm convinced the studio added it.
** while the movie isn't all that good, every single scene of drew barrymore and her friends in "Fever Pitch" ** i could have done without parts of "Easy Rider", particularly the slow pan around the circle of hippies. or maybe i'm missing something there ** i have a friend who hates the "raindrops keep falling on my head" scene in "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid"...i have no idea why.
