Here ’s to you , Fast & Furious !
WARNING : Given the nature of the question being answer in this berth , there are several despoiler in the lead for various motion picture . Please move with caution !
With the latest installment in theFast & Furiousfilm series released, we’ve been prompted to reflect on some of the absolutely mind-boggling moments the franchise has brought us over the years.
Because let’s face it, theFast & Furiousfilms have become notorious for doing exactly that. Take this moment inFurious 7,for example, when an injured Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) flexes so hard that it makes his cast explode off. Then (with astill-brokenarm), he is able to not only survive an ambulance crashing over a bridge, but he simply gets up, shakes it off, and carries on with his mission.
Or how about the time inFast & Furious 6when Dom (Vin Diesel) saves Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), because nothing screams “reality” like Dom defying the laws of physics for — you guessed it —FAMILY.
So that’s why we recently took to theBuzzFeed Communityto puta very important question out there: we asked fellow movie lovers to come together and share the exact moment that they realized a movie had completely abandoned reality (and maybe even lost the plot a little).
So with that in mind, here are just a few of the most popular responses shared:
1.This cringe-worthy line inStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalkeris absolutely deserving of being mentioned:
“When Poe says, ‘Somehow, Palpatine returned.’ The way he said it just made an already bad line even worse.”
— jeremyo811
“If evenOscar Isaaccan’t deliver that line well, you know something went wrong.”
— kimcriss
You can watch the scene here:
2.How about this Aston Martin ‘trick’ inDie Another Day?Well, it’s a ‘NO’ from us!
“I love James Bond and enjoy Q’s gadgets, but the disappearing Aston Martin just ruined it for me!”
— atomic number 92 / MckennaRay
3.Or how about this clip fromThe Martian(which, I’ll admit, caught me off guard. I personally found this moment highly emotional, but after reading this submission, I can see how one might feel differently about the scene after reading the book!):
“I loveThe Martian. The movie was enjoyable and stuck pretty close to the book. However, I didn’t like when Mark launched off of Mars to be rescued by his crew mates — this was when the movie abandoned the book and seemed way too unrealistic. I thought the rescue in the book was plenty dramatic while still staying fairly grounded, but the movie went unnecessarily over the top.”

4.And when Dorothy thinks it’s acceptable to say this inThe Wizard of Oz:
“When Dorothy says, ‘Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.'”

5.What about Barbara’s scenes inWonder Woman 1984?
“When we are supposed to believe Barbara is not attractive.”
— u / MatthewHecht
“‘No, not Barbara! She’s got glasses! And a ponytail! Ugh, she’s got paint on her overalls!’ What is that?”
— u / cardboardlord
6.Or — for fans ofSorry to Bother You— perhaps you’ll remember the exact scene this entry is talking about:
“f you’ve seen it, you knowexactlywhen. It’s a huge spoiler, though. A jaw-dropping, WTF moment — not in a good way. I definitely lost A LOT of credit for when it comes to making a selection on movie nights after that one.”
— threatlvlmidnght

7.And who could forget this…trick…inIndiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?
“Indiana Jones surviving a nuclear blast in a refrigerator.”
— u / Content_Ad_8952
8.Or what about this revelation in the sci-fi thrillerThe Signal?
“The whole thing is about a group of friends where one of them gets abducted by aliens. The friend wakes up in a hospital having been experimented on and the whole movie is them running across Earth trying to escape the hospital people. But the main character realizes at the end he’s been on a different planet the whole time. So it’s revealed that he was abducted, too. It felt so stupid and cheap and I was like, ‘I just watched this character spend the whole movie escaping just for him to be in outer space the whole time?!’ I hated it and it was way too bizarre of an ending.”

9.This moviegoer recalled a fewTwisterscenes that just felt pretty unrealistic:
“Let me preface by saying it’s an entertaining movie, but there are a lot of reality stretches. The statistical odds of intercepting that many tornadoes in a short period of time are pretty slim. Blowing debris causes little to no cuts or injuries. In reality, it would be like getting sandblasted by gravel and other objects. Also, they all have good cell reception in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma in 1996?! It wasn’t like today when you see cell towers everywhere.”
— uranium / estine1979
10.And this fan lost it withInterstellar’sbookcase scene (though, again, I’ll be honest —Interstellaris one of my favorite films, so this one hurt me in the heart a little):
“I was already giving this movie side eye, but the minute they started with the bookcase I wanted to flip a table. Seriously, I hated that movie. Matthew McConaughy’s performance didn’t help either. All around 👎.”
— keetawnandon
11.This key scene fromZack Snyder’s Justice Leaguehad fans running for an exit:
“Any time The Flash was running.”
— u / Alekesam1975
12.And finally — not a movie, but — we’ll take this submission forOnce Upon A Time! The series actually brought in an array of WTF moments for this fan after bringing in Disney characters to the show:
“When they brought inFrozencharacters. Like, what? It was all classic fairytales and then all of a sudden it was just Disney movies. I watched one episode with theFrozencharacters and then bailed on the series.”
— kennleyc
