Ridiculous scenes in otherwise decent films

I was watching Cronenberg's The Fly the other day and there was a real shitter of a scene I'd totally forgotten about.

Gena Davis' character returns to her apartment in the middle of the day and goes to the bathroom to find her shower running. She whips back the curtain to find... dum dum dum!... a male friend of hers who just happened to stop by and let himself in for a quick wash. It really was utter horseshit, and existed only to create a bit of a scare in an otherwise action free scene.

Even the dialogue was awful:

"What's the problem? I was in the neighborhood and was just feeling a bit... scummy."

Can anyone else think of terrible scenes in otherwise perfectly good movies?

In Kevin and Perry go large when them two girls squeeze their spots on the mirror. A great film, but that was just disgustingly awful.

I can think of a couple of Bruce Lee movies that had a few stinkers in 'em. What with main actors dieing (I mean stamping on people's nuts) as well as actually dying (as in for real, DEATH) then being replaced by multiple dudes running around with baggy tracksuit bottoms and all sorts. His Son pretty much had the same sort of career, only in leather.

I didn't think that blowjob scene was neccessery in 'Two Cocks up one c**t'

The Gangbang scene in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince"... it just bogged down the story.

Levels Blobster...Keep the Levels.

The boy in the striped pyjamas has the most unerotic shower scene ever.

The shower scene in Schindler's List. Sad to see such pandering to gratuitous titillation in an otherwise moving and well-considered film.

Hmm I'd say a shame to see so much depressing Holocaust iconography in an otherwise fine Sinead O'Connor themed porn film.

Are we talking ALIEN 3?

All the young guys shagging a dead girl in 'Dead Girl'.

Wasn't that entitled: Run Cum follow me, or in japan, Bukake soldiers?

There's a few scenes in the original Alien when the Alien looks kinda like a guy in a suit.

On a night out in Croydon?...

Bussell he was trying to find the least sleazy way to show off his hot beardy, naked body. In the hope of persuading her to go all Crash style shagmatic on him.

Haven't you ever tried this?
