The Matrix: Reloaded bowling pin scene takes the cake for me.

You know what I'm talking about.

@ the 5:16 mark

The second movie in a hard sci-fi, wire-fu, slow-mo explosion fest of a franchise decides to take a 180 from it's mood and plays a cartoon effect for laughs.

Something that isn't done in the series before or after- because it's jarring and silly.

Why not just add a loving laugh track?

Inexplicable.

My headcannon for putting that scene together is something like this.

*Keanu watches dailies* "Hey guys the grueling fight scene where I did all my own stuntwork in has a loonytoons sound track at the end, is this a joke?"

*Wachowski siblings look up from slather lipstick on eachother* "There is no joke. We are reality, Keanu."

*Keanu walks off, crestfallen and defeated, to sit on a bench*
