> [@Ranchoth](#): > > I’d love to see a scene with one or more big futuristic war"Mechs" slogging into an area to lay waste to the grossly overmatched defenders…while blaring music over a PA system. (I’m thinking “Midnight Special” by CCR, or maybe “Monkey Gone to Heaven.” Hank Williams, for a nostalgic touch.) Bonus if the machines aren’t being piloted by humans. I know of a [cartoon](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361201/) I think you’d like 🙂 ---

> [@LiveOnAPlane](#): > > 1. The bad guy has a silenced .357 Magnum revolver. He shoots it. Instead of going “phutt,” it goes “BANG!!!” and everyone in the vicinity jumps, going “The heck was THAT?” Just once, please. Just one time. I’d like to see a scene after a wild shoot-out in an enclosed space, such as a garage or a sewer, where everybody involved is saying, “Huh? What? Can’t hear you! My ears are ringing like crazy!” And for the rest of the movie, the hero’s ears are still ringing and he’s lost half his hearing. I mean, they wear ear protectors at target ranges for a \*reason, \* y’know? ---

> [@Lumpy](#): > > There was an episode of The Untouchables where a criminal hired a master weaponsmith to produce a special superefficient silencer. The criminal decided to use it to do away with the weaponsmith (don’t remember why), and as they were sitting in a crowded nightclub he holds the gun under the table and fires- producing a deafeningly loud BANG that alerts everyone in the room. The weaponsmith had guessed he was going to be doublecrossed and gave the criminal a silencer that didn’t work. Oh, wow. Just, oh, wow! Lumpy, when I read what you wrote, I actually REMEMBERED that episode! Not until then, but that brought it back. …I guess we both just told on ourselves as being a couple of old farts… unless you saw a rerun. 😃 ---

There was a scene in **Like Water For Chocolate** where a wedding reception was spoiled by uncontrolled regurgitation by most of the guests (non-graphic, very little vomit is seen on screen). ---

> [@Critical1](#): > > Jackie Chan, in the middle of one of those big ole fight scenes with about 20 guys and have Another Hero from another Totally different Movie doing a totally different fight scene bump into him mid battle, have them pair up for a couple then part ways…you could run it in both flicks shot from each ones perspective. > > wanted to see that done for years Here’s one I’ve always wanted to see: Some movie, any genre–family comedy with Tim Allen, or romantic something with Jennifer Lopez, where a scene takes place in a setting that seems familiar. Scene goes along like normal, then suddenly, Bruce Willis–or some other famous action star–blows through in big shoot-out with the bad guys, and you realize it’s some action scene from another movie. The characters in the movie we’re watching go, “Man, that was scary and weird. I wonder what that was about.” then go on with the rest of their plot. ---

The scene: the usual fierce training scene in a martial arts dojo. The sensei watches his charges do all sorts of amazing flips and leaps and kicks while others practice with nonchuks and whatnot. Suddenly, two baddies (you can tell, their robes are black) appear at the entrance of the dojo. They stare menacingly at the sensei. The sensei stares calmly back. The baddies take on attack stances. The entire membership of the dojo faces them, also assuming attack stances. The baddies then whip a couple of automatic weapons out of their robes and proceed to mow every last one of the dojo’s members down, including the sensei. Just before he dies, the sensei says, “I gotta get me one of those.” ---
