The scene at the house of Quentin Tarantino's character in Pulp Fiction before Winston Wolf turns up. Awful. Tarantino should never, ever be on screen.

The bit with Butch muff diving his Asian girlfriend was pretty shit and pointless too.

All of about the first half an hour, until the annoying twat mate of the main good guy gets killed, in "Westworld".

The Ewoks.

Pretty much everything once they arrive in Vietnam in "Full Metal Jacket". Okay, not really "shite", but still a big letdown compared to the amazing first half.

You take that back about Westworld!

Nah, it's a great film... after a really cheesy start. It gets brilliant once the one bloke dies. Bryner in Westworld is more intimidating that Arnie in Terminator, IMO.

I found the start good humoured and funny. It's a great film. Bryner is outstanding!

The scene in The Godfather where Sonny batters Carlo but obviously misses his punches and kicks by a mile. And, on the Tarantino theme, the bit in Django Unchained where he turns up and starts speaking in a stupid Australian accent. Also any bit in Inglorious Basterds where the Basterds turn up (aside from the amazing basement bar scene) pales compared to the rest of the film.

Yes.

Absofuckinglutely yes.

 

The Social Network: everything about the boat race is so out of place.

 

A Ghost Story: the asshole in the dungarees essentially spelling everything out.

 

The Terminator: rubber-face Arnie.

That bit in Predator where Arnie takes about a minute to explain some very basic stuff that you would really assume that a Special Forces Unit would have a handle on already, especially as they are about to enter a firefight where time will be of the essence.

In the first (Christopher Reeve) "Superman" when he flies round and round the Earth till it starts spinning backwards and magically reverses time.
f**k.
Right.
Off.

There’s also a bit in Superman II where he starts shooting beams from his hands at General Zod, what the f**k was that about???

From Dusk till Dawn, he's not terrible.

She's not Asian, pretty sure she's French and white.  Point still stands.

 

On topic, Brad Pitt cameo in 12 years a slave.

Also, the bit at the end of Return of the King when Merry and Pippin jump all over Frodo, when he's lying in bed.  For the record, Frodo Baggins is an absolute c**t and the real hero of middle earth is Samwise Gamgee.

Agree. Frodo's heel turn on Sam always has me furious. What a p***k. All Frodo does is greet and flop, when it comes to the reason for their trip, shites it. A wee p***k.

It would be a far better film if they excised the whole Bruce Willis subplot. It slows the film down to a crawl, isn't very interesting and is just too contrived to be anything other than a let down in what is a good film aside from that section.

Agree that much of it needs punted but they need his character for some vital parts of the film (mainly him killing Vincent and him saving Marcellus).
