The part in Hobo With A Shotgun when The Plague first show up at the hospital and a random doctor in the lobby completely loses it, pulls out a gun, and starts firing at them screaming about how fed up he is with his job.

Hobo with a Shotgun has a lot of moments like that, my personal favorite is the guy going: "Girl, you look so good you make me wanna cut my dick off!" and she just goes "You know, maybe you should just calm down a little."

A moment I think about quite often is in Jonathan Demme's Something Wild.

Audrey is back with Ray. Charles is in a phone booth, following them.

We hear a motorcycle approaching.

An old man pulls up on a motorcycle. On the back of the bike, a dog, wearing goggles.

The old man sets the bike on the kickstand and walks up to Charles, intimating he wants to use the phone next.

The dog stays perfectly balanced on the motorcycle, chill as can be.

I love the weird world of Something Wild, full of all these weird moments and details that just exist without bringing attention.

edit: For non-camp, the Bathhouse Fight in Eastern Promises has a lot of little moments I like. Particularly how one patron gets used as a human shield and the other one just scooooches out of frame instead of running, or how Viggo slips on his own blood (i think) as he's crawling over a ledge. Just lots of tiny moments that make this scene special.

2 come to mind:

The bit in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure where he's giving the town is presentation and he stops mid-sentence and very gravely says, "Is there anything you'd like to share with the class, AMAZING LARRY?!?"

And it just cuts to a flabbergasted old man with a rainbow mohawk. No further context is given, and Amazing Larry doesn't show back up in the movie.

In The Dark Knight, I'm always looking forward to the best off-screen performance of all time, the citizen of Gotham who whines that "THINGS ARE WORSE THAN EVER!"

It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
I've always enjoyed a moment with Christopher Walken as Max Schreck in Batman Returns, when after being confronted and taunted by Selina Kyle, states he kill her again if she fucks with him. He then says a weird version of the phrase "bigger fish to fry" where it sounds like a melding of Better/Badder Fish instead. Just always strikes me when I watch it and it's a fun character moment for Walken.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7z1kPGea1g

The whole scene is great though. Selina's method of threatening Max is so much fun.

In the wonderfully poorly made Shotgun Jones, there's a scene where the main character gets a phonecall in a bar, and there's an incredibly obvious man's voice saying in falsetto "telephone, honey" from offscreen.

I like that part of Of Death Becomes Her where Bruce Willis goes down to the morgue and the trio of nuns glide down the hall while weeping. It's the only part in that movie like that and is genuinely eerie, like it belongs in an honest horror film.

The glass breaking a second before Clarence Boddicker hits it Robocop is something I absolutely adore. You might not notice it on the first or second time you watch it but afterwards you can't un-see it, I can just imagine a younger Paul Verhoeven seeing this showy special effect not being 100% synced up and going "gently caress it, we're not sweeping all this up for another take".

There's a deleted scene where Pee-Wee is at the magic shop and he meets Amazing Larry and he talks about how business isn't doing so well and Pee-Wee tells him that maybe he should do something with his hair to try and shake things up. Honestly it works better as the non-sequitur it is in the final film.

This is near the end of Star Trek IV The Voyage Home:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNcGoX4lFz4&t=170s

Captain Kirk, walking up to meet a friend, is almost bumped into by a Vulcan (who should really watch where he's going), Kirk says "excuse me", and both continue onward.
What's so weird about that? In real life, absolutely nothing, but it always stands out to me as the kind of spontaneous and random little happening that you don't always see much of in film productions whose every scene is explicitly scripted, blocked and choreographed. Hell, I'm sure there are directors that would've yelled "Cut!" at this moment.

Black Dynamite is an awesome movie, because it's not only a send-up of blacksploitation movies, but also about the filming of a cheaply made blacksploitation movie, with a lot of goofs and weird editing left in intentionally. One of my favorite bits is when Michael Jai White's Black Dynamite meets with a character who is played by an actor that keeps accidentally reading the stage direction in the script. Now of course that's a fully-scripted joke, but what really sells it is White's befuddled reaction to it every time it happens. His quick exasperated look off-camera after "Sarcastically, I'm in charge" is, no lie, one of the funniest comedic reactions in filmdom to me.

Black Dynamite is indeed amazing. My favorite joke is probably during the pool hall fight, when the exaggerated sound effects are suddenly interrupted by a very real slap. The actor visible gets mad he was actually hit, curses, scene is cut and almost immediately continues with the actor replaced.

quote:

In an interview on Jonathan Ross, Barrowman stated the director asked him to improvise a line in order to make McShane laugh and he came up with it, and was surprised that it was kept in the film when he watched with his nephews for the first time. Unfortunately, McShane gave no reaction to Barrowman's line. The director David Worth said he had kept the line in the movie because he found it hilarious and John delivered the line so well.

Gilbert Gottfried tells a great story about about literally mashing his face up against his CRT trying to see if she was actually naked when he watched his VHS copy and then later at a party seeing Sharon Stone and going "Hey there! I just spent all afternoon looking for your vagina!"

The scene in Scanners where they try to use their psychic powers on a computer is really dumb and a waste of time and makes zero sense in the context of the film but at this point I like just like seeing all that late-70s/early-80s computer tech on display enough that it evens out.
