Sometimes bad special effects can really take you out of a film's immersion and could be bad enough to ruin the rest of the movie for you.

Not that Alien Resurrection doesn't ruin itself throughout the film, but this scene just fucking destroyed all patience I had while watching that movie... I swear I was like this in the theater when I saw that...

As if one of the film crew got his 12 year old kid to add that acid spit effect the last minute using MS paint or something, just terrible!

Episode II sand conversation.

 

[PaleFolklore]

The rape scene in Irreversible. Actually, all of Irreversible.

Irreversible.

High five

 

[Sye d'Burns]

Boy, did the first post nail this one. American History X pulled no punches in that scene.

 

[RPGamer92]

Ending scene of Chamber of Secrets

 

[Sanky Panky]

Most recently Dogtooth... a dumbell does not belong in the bathroom.

And an even worse offense... Sophia Coppola speech at the beginning of Godfather Part III

Trainspotting. The toilet scene really disgusted me.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

 

[JB1981]

that scene in war of the worlds where cruise says "get in manny or you're gonna die!" immediately comes to mind.

LOL. That is a pretty good scene actually

 

[scosher]

Anakin professing his love to Padme in Star Wars Episode II is the most cringe worthy scene in cinema.

Anakin professing his love to Padme in Star Wars Episode II is the most cringe worthy scene in cinema.

See I was going to say the scene where Anakin cries after slaughtering the sand people.

"I killed them all!"

 

[triplestation]

The Dark Knight Rises

 

[C4Lukins]

The end of Bridesmaids. When Wilson Phillips shows up it just gets really weird for me.

 

[Houston3000]

Batman: No, I came back to stop you.

I know, was that really the best line he could come up with?

that scene in war of the worlds where cruise says "get in manny or you're gonna die!" immediately comes to mind.

Da fuck... I love that scene.

Taxi Driver
Travis takes Betsy out on a date.....

 

[bud]

LOL. That is a pretty good scene actually

that whole sequence is great, don't get me wrong; it's just cruise's delivery of that line that always rubs me the wrong way.

 

[Arcteryx]

The Eastern Promises fight scene is both awesome and totally cringe worthy at the same time. When he jams that knife in his eye....holy shit.

 

[C4Lukins]

Taxi Driver
Travis takes Betsy out on a date.....

That is a good one.

The drunken phone call in Sideways gets to me also.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Taxi Driver
Travis takes Betsy out on a date.....

great scene though. It shows how deranged he is. Just like the phone call scene.

beaten lol

 

[chris121580]

Not a horror or suspense movie, but a comedy

Swingers

Every time Mikey picks the phone back up everyone in the theater kept groaning 'oh god stop no!'

Yep, this is what I came to post

 

[Criminal Upper]

Not cringe-inducing in the strictest sense...

But the Dark Knight ferry scene is cringe-inducing in how bad it is.

 

[bjork]

The scene in Frozen with the main girl's boyfriend and the wolves. Actually, anything with that specific sort of injury is pretty foul.

 

[The Elite]

Curb stomp teeth scraping.

This.

 

[JeTmAn81]

So fellow GAFer's. What is the oné scene that is the most cringe-inducing for you? A scene that actually made it feel quite hard to watch.
I am not talking about HOSTEL rated gore scenes because honestly those kind of scenes are just damn stupid. In fact, I encourage anyone to not post that kind of scenes.

Here is mine from Saving Private Ryan (knife scene):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1I4P3umnzk

I can watch the entire movie over and over again but that scene always makes me feel terrible for as long as it lasts.

This was actually the first thing I thought of before even entering the thread.

 

[Roland Garros]

Oh god, how could I forget. This, this, THIS. Spoiled the Spiderman franchise for me.

 

[Roland Garros]

Not cringe-inducing in the strictest sense...

But the Dark Knight ferry scene is cringe-inducing in how bad it is.

I actually thought the same when I first saw the film, but everyone was falling over themselves to praise TDK that I was painted as a lunatic. I completely agree though, the entire scene was overblown, elaborate, just silly.

A crap final act balanced out by a fantastic first act.

This was worse in every way worse.

EDIT: Terrible day.

 

[levious]

Recently watched Breakfast at Tiffany's and so my answer is anything with Mickey Rooney in it.

Yep, that's him. Yep, he sounds like you think he does.

it's amazing some of the things removed from the book, like "nigger-lipping" a cigarette or references to lesbians, yet they do that with that character.

 

[richiek]

The Dark Knight Rises

WHERE'S THE TRIGGER??!!!! WHERE IS IT????!!!!!! YOU WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO AN ORDINARY CITZEN!!!!!

 

[kms_md]

Misery. You know what scene.

/shudder

 

[Mr. B Natural]

Interesting. I am admittedly completely ignorant about the book (was even blown back when I saw who wrote it) and so, the entire time, I was wondering if Rooney's character was a part of the book or if he was inserted by Hollywood for comic relief.

Chock it up as a victim of the times, I guess, but it made me cringe regardless.

 

[bud]

/shudder

that made you shudder? wait till you see kathy bates' jacuzzi scene in about schmidt!

the horror... the horror...

 

[Edmond Dantès]

One of the worst moments in a trilogy filled with numerous instances of cringeworthy moments that would have Tolkien turning in his grave.

 

[Maklershed]

OP nails it. The stab scene in Saving Private Ryan stuck with me for awhile. Very horrific.

 

[fredrancour]

Natalie Portman peeling off the skin around her fingernails in Black Swan.

Shit like that drives me nuts.

My girlfriend used to do this almost constantly. Thank god she stopped before I wound up in jail for murder.

 

[nVidiot_Whore]

The climax of depression from Requiem For a Dream.

In particular, the scenes of the Mom getting electric shock therapy.

 

[Borgnine]

Never understood why people got to upset over Hebrew Hammer getting stabbed in SPR, does nothing to me. There was some fingernail stuff in Syriana that I remember being pretty bad.

1) HOSTEL is not as gory as you sensitives imagine it to be.

2) Your opinion about those alleged scenes is just damn stupid.

 

[Escape Goat]

Fuck the trained pilot, fuck the precise controls needed to manuver a big ass starship.

 

[offtopic]

Saving Private Ryan is the correct answer. Find myself avoiding that movie just so I don't feel my skin crawl and nausea rise as that scene unfolds.

 

[Valravn]

Eye puncturing scene in Lucio Fulci's Zombi.

Skinning scene in Martyr.

 

[Chichikov]

*That* scene in Un Chien Andalou.
You know what I'm talking about.

Warning, while it's true that for the greatest effect you probably want to watch it without any knowledge, but still, you might want to read about it, or hear about it first, might induce nightmares.

 

[ag-my001]

Iron Man 2

He's going to 'make' a new element? With a blueprint?! Well, at least he's using a particle acceler- crap that's just a laser, all writers failed science class.

Awesome pick. Amazing scene. Love Buñuel

I liked that part.

Because the rest of the science in Iron Man is so compelling.


On Topic.

The Gun shopping sequence in Harry Brown is horrific, as is the whole movie. I know it´s intentional but it doesn´t work for me at all. Just plain unplesant to watch.


Also, the motivational speech in Snow White and the Huntsman. It´s such a mess it´s not even funny.
