"Oh S**t" Moments

    You know those moments in a film where things are going swimmingly until someone or something goes and spoils it all. Now I don't mean a situation where robots or monkeys are taking over the planet I mean a real life situation that you wouldn't want to be in.

    Eg.

    Blow- One of the last scenes, when George Jung decides he is going to do
    one last drug deal so he'll have enough money to settle down and take care of his daughter. Not forgetting his most important promise to pick her up the next day too.

    As he sits there basking in the glory of a successful drug deal he reads his cohorts faces and he realises he has been setup and sits motionless on his seat,

    "Oh S**t"

    Not sure if this is quite what you mean, but this was very much an"oh! ****!" moment

    Swingers:
    after mikey has met this nice girl at the bar, who's number he has gotten despite being unbelievably awkward, he goes home, and rather than leave it a few days, as he has been advised, he calls her right away. Right so, bad enough(oh, ****, as it were). However, he keeps getting cut off by her machine, and rings back again, and again....and again. Up until the phone is picked up by the girl and she rightly tells him where to go.

    i remember watching this and howling at the TV; No, mikey, no, no, no ,no , no leave it alone mikey, aw, god....aw no, not again, oh, oh mikey, aw god..... It's agonising, but excellently realised

    Training Day. I'm not sure how to use Spoilers but don't think I'm revealing too much.
    When Denzel Washington buggers off and leaves Ethan Hawke alone in the Latino guy's house. That had me going "oh sh*t!"

    Does 'that' moment in Caché / Hidden count? I nearly verbally proclaimed "oh s**t" while watching it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,739 ✭✭✭Jello


    Well the ending of Se7en certainly had me going ''oh ****!''


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    Star Wars Episode 1
    Haha, no not JarJar. I'm thinking of the bit where Anakin asks "Mr. Qui-Gon, what are midichlorians?" only to be met with the Troy McClure pseudo-science explaination. Science really has no place in SW imho.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    Not an 'Oh Sh*t' moment as such, but the Departed's ending certainly had me saying 'Holy Sh*t!' :eek:

    Well watching Perfume 3/4's through it I went WTF at the execution scene !!!!

    Anyone who has seen it will know what I mean.........

    Em, second that...i'd read the book and i was STILL like "okay, the ****?"

    Oh and another recent one. "Joe Strummer : The future is Unwritten."

    Everythings going well in this documentary about the lead Singer of the Clash until about 1/2 way thru ... Enter Sir Bono of wankershire.

    Apparently the U2 frontman merits inclusion in this documentary because he went to a Clash gig once in Trinity College.

    These are great. Swingers...........jesus christ i have never, including watching extras and the office, seen a more cringe worthy moment in my life. Not what I meant but definitely deserves an oh **** well done.

    Another example might be either when in dog day afternoon when
    sonnys gun is grabbed and sal is shot
    or in midnight express when he is finally caught with the drugs...............oh **** indeed

    From dusk till Dawn.
    Shaping up nicely to make my top 10 ... Brilliant cast, sharp dialogue, great storyline, hell even salma hayek gets her tits out.
    Then all of a sudden....
    Zombies! Fcuking zombies!? WTF!?

    You mean
    Vampires
    ?

    I second that big time, i remember watching with a friend and both of us felt/thought it at the same time. Excellent movie.

    With you on the midichlorians Pigman. "The Force" had always been mysterious before that, nobody needed (or wanted) an explanation.

    Mine is in Scarface when Tony shoots the hitman in his car. All goes wrong for him from there!

    Natural Born Killers when they kill that Indian Guy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,942 ✭✭✭missingtime


    I'm sure there is an 'Oh Sh!t' moment in The Page Turner.

    Agreed, the prick. Went on to blame the clash for breaking up too!! Maybe he should take a page out of their book and claim some semblance of respect before its too late.

    Class documentary too by the way. Really amazing!!

    Oh **** moment. Pirates 3. Kiera's speech. Boo!!!

    still has to be the lobby scene in The Matrix, mouth dropped at the time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭DaBreno


    Pans Labyrinth. The scene where the Captain is interrogating the two rabbit farmers and the son tells him to believe his father that they are farmers. The Captain then produces a glass bottle.....and we know we are not watching a kids film.

    Zodiac.
    "He never made the posters, I did"

    I'd have been out that fricken window

    Whatever they were, they ruined what was a fantastic film up until then.

    Lol poor you :P I'd hate to think a movie was one thing and then for it to go 360, must have been traumatic :P

    *edit* Oh someone else jsut reminded me, thats totally happened to me!

    Pa
    ns Labyrinth. The scene where the Captain is interrogating the two rabbit farmers and the son tells him to believe his father that they are farmers. The Captain then produces a glass bottle.....and we know we are not watching a kids film.

    My bf always laughs at me for shouting at movies "No dont do that! It will only make things worse!" But I cant think of any particular occasions now :(
