Non Sequitur Scene/Film: Difference between revisions

The following [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator Moment|Big Lipped Alligator MomentsScene]]s were producer- and director-approved. One has to wonder just how many takes it took for them to "get it just right"...

== Animated Film BLAMsNon Sequitur Scenes ==

* [[Trope Namer]]: ''[[All Dogs Go to Heaven]]'' includes a [[Deranged Animation|bizarre and nonsensical]] [[Disney Acid Sequence|musical number]] with [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|a big lipped alligator]] near the end of the film. The two main characters fall into a cave where they are brought by a [[Wacky Wayside Tribe]] to meet their leader, King Gator, who breaks into an Esther Williams tribute. The scene not only comes out of nowhere with only very little build-up beforehand, but it [[Series Continuity Error|seemingly violates the rules of the movie]]: animals can only speak to members of their own species, with Anne Marie being the only being who can communicate with everyone. Yet the Gator and Charlie can share a cross-species musical number. Although {{spoiler|the alligator [[Androcles' Lion|comes back to save Charlie and kill Carface]]}}, the random, over-the-top ''musical number'' itself is what qualifies this scene as a BLAMNon Sequitur Scene.

<!--** Note that the name is Big Lipped Alligator ''Moment'', not Big Lipped Alligator. It is the event itself that is considered the reason of the trope, not King Gator. -->

* ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]: [[Advent Children]]'' seems to start with one of these. After a bit of introductory text, the very first scene is a bunch of strange red furry animals running up a cliff overlooking a ruined city in a scene that seems more at home in the [[Lion King]] than this movie. Of course, it's only a BLAMNon Sequitur Scene in the context of the movie, since it's a shot-for-shot rerendering of the last cutscene of ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' itself (and in that context it was more of a [[Gainax Ending]]). But without that context, a new viewer will have no idea what it has to do with the movie.

* ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]'' manages to have a BLAMNon Sequitur Scene within a BLAMNon Sequitur Scene. About halfway through the film, the appliances find themselves beside a small pond where they meet some animals, including a singing fish who gives an ''epic'' performance on par with the [[All Dogs Go to Heaven|original Big Lipped Alligator]]. And in the middle of ''this'', the Toaster runs off to be alone and has [[Tear Jerker|a very awkward encounter with a lone tulip]]. Neither incident ever comes up again.

** But wasn't the tulip what made Toaster start being nicer to Blankey?

** But far more bizarre and out of place that this double BLAMNon Sequitur Scene is a nightmare Toaster has later, in which he is menaced by an [[Evil Clown]] who is dressed as a firefighter, and wields a firehose that sprays forks.

*** Also, [[The Brave Little Toaster]] [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|GOES TO MARS.]] Isn't that [[BLAMNon Sequitur Episode|BLAMNon Sequitur Scene enough]] on its own? (Though to be fair, that is the actual title of [[Adaptation Displacement|the book's sequel]].)

* The direct-to-video ''[[The Secret of NIMH]] 2: Timmy to the Rescue'' had this as well, though [[Don Bluth]] was not involved in the film. Jeremy the Crow and his new sidekick Cecil the anthropomorphic insect are found running a scam in the woods, with Jeremy disguised as the Great Owl and posing as an oracle giving fortunes for money. The musical number that ensues is over-the-top with bizarre animal dancing. At the end, Jeremy's thin disguise falls off, and the forest animals chase him and Cecil away. Jeremy and Cecil rejoin the main storyline, and the whole sequence is never mentioned again.

{{quote| Mrs. Brisby: What was that?<br />

** The coach ''itself'', by the bye, ''is'' in the book, but in a different place (the stairs of Scrooge's house...yeah, it's kind of a BLAMNon Sequitur Scene all its own) and without the inexplicable shrinking thing going on either.

* ''[[The Rugrats Movie]]''

** The movie has another BLAMNon Sequitur Scene, though this scene is cut and can only be seen when the movie airs on TV. One of the scenes is a random nightmare that Stu and Didi have. It's an extremely odd musical number with Lipshitz in diapers talking about how they're bad parents, and it feels like it could have easily been made when the producers were on a substance.

* About halfway through ''[[Beavis and Butthead]] [[The Movie|Do America]]'', Beavis and Butthead are stranded in the middle of the desert. Beavis chomps down on a hallucinogenic peyote cactus, and the next few minutes melt into [[Mushroom Samba|a nightmarish tribute to the boys]], animated and scored ([[Heh, Heh, You Said "X"|huh huh, "scored"]]) by Rob Zombie.

* ''[[We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story]]'' is, to say the least, a [[BLAMNon Sequitur Scene Episode]]. However the climactic scene in which the villain is eaten alive by his own hitherto unmentioned crows is particularly jarring. There was a cut scene, explaining how the crows related to the villain's missing eye, and why he kept them around in terms of 'mastering his fear'. It was considered too disturbing (the villain talks candidly about how a bird plucked his eye out in an accident) and hence cut.

* In the ''[[Horton Hears a Who!]]'' movie there was an over the top [[Art Shift|anime sequence]]. And also the cast singing REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling" after Horton saves the speck of Whoville from getting killed.

{{quote| "Stella, Stella come back!, I could've been somebody!".}}

** The first BLAMNon Sequitur Scene moment in the movie occurs when Felix hides under his bag while a fox family prances about to the musical number "Sly as a Fox." The foxes leave after kicking dust on his bag and are only acknowledged with the waving of Felix's fist. They are not seen or mentioned again and, similarly, the song has no bearing on the plot.

* When [[Terrible Trio|Lock, Shock, and Barrel]] accidentally bring Jack Skellington the Easter Bunny instead of Sandy Claws in ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]''. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|It's hilarious as hell]], but has no bearing on the plot. The only thing the scene seems to serve is to show off Jack's [http://necaonline.com/nbctcg/cardlist/characters/jack2.jpg roaring]{{Dead link}} [[Buffy-Speak|face thingy]].

* ''[[Amadeus]]'' opens with scenes of Salieri being hauled to the insane asylum intercut with scenes of a ball, for little more reason than to have matching imagery with [[Public Domain Soundtrack|Mozart's Symphony #25]] and to show off some [[Scenery Porn|Scenery]] and [[Costume Porn]].

* In ''[[The Room]]'' features a few. [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Danny/Denny]]'s drug problem and Chris R. are never brought up again and don't add anything to the plot. The character Claudette tells Lisa that she "definitely has breast cancer," which is never mentioned again. Characters also start playing games of catch for no particular reason. When asked why he included them, the direct said because "catch is fun."

* ''[[It's a Wonderful Life|Its a Wonderful Life]]'' has a scene where Mary loses her bathrobe and has to hide naked inside a bush. It's not at all plot-relevant [[Mood Whiplash|and the next scene is about]] {{spoiler|George's father having died of a stroke.}} George even lampshades it: "This is a very interesting situation I'm in!"

* The [[Wacky Wayside Tribe|Dancing Fire Gang]] from ''[[Labyrinth]]'', though there is a ''very'' small reference to them earlier in the film and another in the finale. They still make no major impact on the plot. There's also a scene involving an old man arguing with his talking hat. Both instances feature the main character simply stumbling into some unhelpful creatures and then leaving.

{{quote| (After a scene where one character goes ballistic for no reason whatsoever and roughhouses another character) "Wait, how did Bill get over there all of a sudden? Okay, let's consider what we just saw. Mel attacked Bill in a scene which A) had very little motivation, B) made no sense, C) will never be referred to again, D) breaks continuity with the scene immediately following, and E) wasn't even in focus. It appears (Tony) Malanowski didn't realize that just because you ''film'' something doesn't mean you have to put it in the movie."}}

** ''Godzilla VS The Smog Monsters'' is chock full of BLAMNon Sequitur Scene. These include a scene where a guy hallucinates everyone has a fish-head, the weird animation sequences, but, by far, '''the''' most famous example is when Godzilla uses his own thermonuclear breath to [[Flight|fly]]... and he ''never'' does it again in any other film.

* At the end of the Japanese version of ''[[Frankenstein]] Conquers the World'' the monster gets randomly attacked by a Oodako, a[[Naughty Tentacles|giant octopus]] [[Misplaced Wildlife|in the forest]]. The scene was added [[Executive Meddling|at the insistence of the American distributor]], but left out of the Japanese version.

* The infamous Zion rave from ''[[The Matrix]] Reloaded'' -- with—with Neo and Trinity's [[Fetish Fuel|sex scene]] spliced in for an extra dose of incomprehensibility. It was [[All There in the Manual|supposedly]] meant to emphasize the blurring of the lines between man and machine. (See also: the blood flowing over the code on the hovercraft terminal, the Merovingian gettin' it on with a human, half the movie's dialogue, and all that other stuff which... didn't involve a solid five minutes of completely random people dancing and [[Fan Service|naked Keanu Reeves]])

** The Train Room (And the Train Man) from ''[[The Matrix]] Revolutions'' -- a—a scene which, while having enough plot ties to make it not ''completely'' irrelevant, is nonetheless completely forgotten once Neo has been rescued. The strange train station is never seen or referenced again in the film. The Train Man shows up again very briefly as part of the dozen-plus-way standoff at gunpoint later on in the night club, but that's it.

** Could it be, then, that the mambo sequence ''was'' the plot, and everything before, after or since is the BLAMNon Sequitur Scene?

*** The BLAMNon Sequitur Scene is tripled when you read the end credits and find out that the Bunny was played by "We'll Never Tell".

** It is important to note that, BLAMNon Sequitur Scene it may be, "Rhythm of Life" is considered by many to be ''Sweet Charity''{{'}}s best song.

** Not many other [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator Moment|BLAMs]]Scenes qualify as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], though [[Lampshade Hanging|if there are others]] I'm sure they're listed here.

* ''[[Blade Runner]]'': Some see the infamous "Unicorn Dream" sequence (a two-second-long clip of a running unicorn spliced into an otherwise normal scene) as a BLAMNon Sequitur Scene. However, it MIGHT be referenced later in the director's cut {{spoiler|when the main character finds that "someone" has left a tiny origami unicorn in his apartment, which COULD be an indication that this "someone" knew about his dream. Which in turn implies...}} causing others to see this as a "[[Han Shot First]]" moment.

** This may have been a shout-out to the book ''[[Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?]]'' which the film is very loosely based on {{spoiler|as each character had an assigned animal, Deckard's 'animal' is a unicorn}} To anyone else not familiar with the books it certainly seems extremely misplaced.

* ''[[Crank]]: High Voltage'' is full of random moments, but most of them at least relate to the plot or the hero's backstory. One scene, however, breaks away from a gunfight to show the therapy session of a minor character from the first movie, played by [[It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia|Glenn Howerton]]. At the end of the session, he's killed by a stray bullet from the gunfight, and the movie continues.

* The sequence in ''[[Sleepy Hollow (Film)|Sleepy Hollow]]'' where the village people trick Ichabod into thinking the Headless Horseman is coming for him and throw the pumpkin at him is never brought up again and serves no purpose (other than a [[Shout-Out]] to the original novel).

* ''[[Turkish Star Wars]]'', in spite of barely making any sense in the first place, still manages to have a BLAMNon Sequitur Scene. After the first fight, the scene of the protagonists riding on horseback across the plains is interrupted by several shots of a papier-mache critter sitting on some rocks and shrieking at the camera. The ogre is never explained and never seen again, and it doesn't even interact with any other characters during its brief time in the movie.

* Although probably half the movie could qualify, the sequence with Plaster of Paris in ''[[The Spirit (film)|The Spirit]]'' seems particularly out of place. Though longer than a normal BLAMNon Sequitur Scene, Plaster appears, does a kooky dance, helps the Spirit escape, stabs him, and runs off singing to herself. Admittedly lampshaded by the Spirit ahead of time by saying that if the silhouette is who he thinks it is, she's the strangest woman he's ever met.

** [[The Nostalgia Chick]] would like to differ; the movie has no cohesion, and the scenes happening are more often than not never mentioned again, so a mere BLAMNon Sequitur Scene won't work here. For this, we're gonna need a [[BLAMNon Sequitur Scene Episode]].

*** But this particular scene stands out above the rest of the movie in terms of ridiculousness. Somehow, the writers managed to create a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment ''within'' a [[BLAMNon Sequitur Scene Episode|Big-Lipped Alligator Movie]]. And they are probably the only ones to have ever achieved that.

** And since the characters coming across 'general ghostly weirdness' is the remit of the film, while the scene might be enigmatic and unsettling, it certainly doesn't qualify as a BLAMNon Sequitur Scene. It doesn't leave viewers reeling with confusion as to how such a scene could possibly relate to the rest of the film.

* ''[[Hook]]'' has a few awkward moments, but the one BLAMNon Sequitur Scene that sticks in most viewers' heads is a scene where Tinkerbell grows to be human-sized, shares a romantic moment with Peter, then returns to normal just as inexplicably. Spielberg wrote the scene simply to appease Julia Roberts, who insisted that she have at least one scene with another actor. At least it had [[Robin Williams]] saying this: "[[Dull Surprise|You're humongous]]."

{{quote| "Do you have any more '''gum'''?"}}

{{quote| '''Servo:''' ...the hell was ''THAT?''}}

* [[Saw]] 3D had the car trap. A total BLAMNon Sequitur Scene - it is not explained why it is there, we don't know who Chester Bennington's character is at all, the two people in the trap with him have no relevance at all, and not to mention it is not mentioned at all later in the film.

* [[Charlie Chaplin]]'s silent movies include some of what are perhaps the earliest examples of BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentsScenes. One example is in ''[[The Kid]]'' when Charlie falls asleep and has a dream where he's suddenly an angel, and dances with a lot of women dressed as angels until people dressed as demons come in and tempt everyone to evil. It comes out of nowhere and has nothing to do with the actual plot, and of course, sealing the deal, he wakes up and the movie continues as normal. A similar sequence occurs in his short film ''Sunnyside'' as well. Chaplin's longer films often did randomly insert nonsensical dream sequences.

* The Japanese film ''[[Suicide Club]]'' is about police struggling to figure out what is causing teenagers to spontaneously kill themselves. Eventually, a serial killer calling himself Genesis claims responsibility for the suicides and abducts a few girls into his bowling alley lair. After stomping an animal to death, he sings a rock song while his mooks rape and kill a few of the girls. Soon afterwards, he's arrested and revealed to have nothing to do with the suicides. He's never mentioned again.

* The indie romantic comedy ''Gigantic'' (not to be confused with the identically-named [[They Might Be Giants]] film) has a recurring BLAMNon Sequitur Scene throughout it. At random points in the plot the male lead is attacked by a strange homeless man, with no explanation given. This has no bearing on the rest of the plot, and he does not admit it to anyone else, thinking up excuses for his visible injuries. In the last encounter he is able to kill the attacker... and then the body mysteriously vanishes. There is never any explanation given for it, and the incidents are never mentioned again in the film.

* ''When the Boys Meet the Girls'' from 1965 is not quite a [[BLAMNon Sequitur Scene Episode]]. Most of it actually makes sense, even if it also prompts "lolwut" when you describe it. Since the best way to describe the movie is that somebody mixed the scripts for a season of a melodramatic soap opera with that of a variety show & the shooting script of a music video, and then pared it down to movie length...

** There was almost a bigger BLAMNon Sequitur Scene. On the DVD you can watch a bizarre subplot about the first version of Nuclear Man, which was cut from the final film. Say what you will about ''[[Superman IV]]'', the deleted scenes show that it could have been much worse.

** ''[[Superman III]]'' starts off with a completely out-of-place Chaplin-style slapstick sequence behind the opening credits.

** Several of Michael and Laurie's fantasy sequences in ''Halloween 2'' (2009) border on this, especially the one with the pumpkinheaded aristocrats.

{{quote| "That sound you heard was your inner child being punched in the face." -- Everything is Terrible}}

* In "[[Spy Kids]] III", toward the end the other players with Juni in the virtual world begin to doubt he really is "The Guy". Then someone played by Elijah Wood appears claiming that ''he'' is the real "Guy". He makes an inspiring speech, walks into the last level... [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|and is killed instantly.]] Immediately Juni is told "OK, you're the Guy again", and nothing more is ever made of this.

* The film version of ''[[Tank Girl]]'' had the musical moment "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love".

{{quote| [[The Nostalgia Critic]]: And welcome to the bottom of the barrel people: an action film with a horrible music number.}}

* ''[[The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans|Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans]]'' features a BLAM in which two iguanas are filmed up close, bright and blurry while a love song plays for quite a while. One iguana shows up later crawling between the bodies of some dead men but is not noticed. The iguanas may also be a product of the title character's seemingly perpetual drug addled state.

* And then, there is [http://www.avclub.com/articles/peewees-big-adventure,36018/ this little slice of] [[Nightmare Fuel]] from ''[[Pee Wee-wee's Big Adventure]]''. Tropers of a certain age probably know exactly what scene it is before clicking that link (thankfully, looking at her [[Game Face]] is optional.) The writer of the article admits that seeing the scene out of context, since it is so unexpected in what is otherwise an offbeat but funny kid's film, doesn't really have the same impact.

** "Is there something you'd like to share with the rest of us, Amazing Larry!?!" This one has an explanation: Amazing Larry was supposed to be a magician in the beginning of the film who asked Pee Wee for advice on what new hairstyle he should get. The setup was cut out but the payoff -- himpayoff—him settling on a ridiculous mohawk -- wasmohawk—was left in. So we're just left with a guy named Amazing Larry with a crazy haircut.

* ''[[Shark Attack 3: Megalodon]]'' actually has one scene that makes even less sense than the rest of the movie. Two people speaking bad Spanish make out, wander into what appears to be a closed amusement park, fall down an oddly-placed water slide and get eaten by a shark (or, to be more specific given the quality of this film, eaten by [[Stock Footage]] of a shark). A woman takes off a clown mask and looks surprised. These two casualties are never recognized by the rest of the cast, and this scene never comes up again.

* ''[[Zardoz]]'' has the scene where Friend walks into a kitchen and suddenly starts speaking backwards to a group of women there. They start clapping and laughing, he leaves, and no explanation is given as to what just happened. It's a [[Mind Screw]] of a movie to begin with, mind you, but most of the other surreal elements at least try to tie into the plot.

* Arguably a [[BLAMNon Sequitur Scene Episode|Big Lipped Alligator Movie]], or at very least a deliberately surreal [[Anachronism Stew]], Julie Taymor's ''[[Titus]]'' -- a—a [[This Is Your Premise on Drugs|modern adaptation]] of Shakespeare's ''[[Titus Andronicus (theatre)|Titus Andronicus]]'' -- features—features a scene in which one of the villains, played by [[Jonathan Rhys Meyers]], dances terrifyingly on a pool table to loud techno music, trussed up in red leather and with his hair in pigtails. It isn't the ''strangest'' scene in the movie by a long way, and it certainly isn't the most disturbing, but it's notable in that it contains no dialogue, has absolutely no basis in the original play (obviously), does nothing to further the plot, is never referenced again, and serves no purpose beyond making the audience just a little bit more amused/baffled/emotionally scarred than they already were.

* [[Woody Allen]]'s [[Gag Dub]] film ''[[WhatsWhat's Up, Tiger Lily?]]?'' has several. During a club scene, the film cuts to a music video of sorts for the band that supplies the dub's soundtrack, which was a case of [[Executive Meddling]] to pad out the length. Later, the film freezes so that the projectionist can have a conversation with his mistress. During the climax, the film suddenly cuts away to an interviewer, who comments that the plot is getting complicated and asks Woody Allen if he'd like to explain it. Allen deadpans, "No," and the film continues.

* ''[[The Big Lebowski]]'' has two [[BLAMNon Sequitur Scene|BLAMs]] in the form of dream sequences. Both are a little indulgent, a lot strange, and don't really have much to do with the rest of the story apart from referencing things the Dude encountered earlier.

* The 1998 version of ''[[The Parent Trap (1961 film)|The Parent Trap]]'' has that bronze statue that waves at Hallie as Annie's butler drives her to meet her estranged mother for the first time.

* ''[[The Gamers|The Gamers: Dorkness Rising]]'' has a scene that involves ninjas delivering pizzas, while fighting pirates, in an office.

* The film ''[[The Wild World of Batwoman]]'' (covered on [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]) has, among other WTF, a scene where the titular Batwoman and her Batgirls hold a ''séance'' to get advice from the spirit world on where the MacGuffin is. Has there been supernatural content thus far? Save for another BLAM about how the Batgirls are "synthetic vampires," no. Does the scene result in anything of value? Unless you count [[Unfortunate Implications|a blatantly racist portrayal of Chinese people]], nope. Is it ever mentioned again? What do you think?

* An interesting version in ''[[Transformers (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', in which the Twins adopt a Big Lipped Alligator Mode -- thatMode—that is, a 1930's ice cream truck. The bizarreness of this vehicle mode is never explained and is only seen for about two minutes (in all it's scenes combined) before they decide to change vehicle modes again. Their odd choice of form is never mentioned again.

*** A serious BLAM occurs near the end of the film, as the Decepticon combiner known as Devastator is seen climbing the pyramids in Gaza. Simmons looks up and sees 2 wrecking balls hanging from the robot's crotch, meant to look like testicles. This is also particularly strange as none of the construction vehicles that combined into Devastator, have wrecking balls. Simmons simply says, "I am directly below... the enemy's scrotum." The scene is never mentioned again.

* The [[Hammer Horror]] film ''Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed'' features... Christ alive... a ''Big Lipped Alligator rape scene''. This was added by the [[Executive Meddling|mandate of the American distributors]] over the objections of both actors involved, cuts immediately to a scene where the victim is making coffee and is never mentioned or hinted at again.

* ''[[Fatal Deviation]]'' has one scene in which, as ''[[Cracked.com]]'' so eloquently said it: "[http://www.cracked.com/article_18632_irelands-only-kung-fu-movie-is-worst-film-ever-made.html This man turns up with no reason, no lines and does nothing but show his ass.]"

* ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Franchisefilm)/|Harry Potter and Thethe Half-Blood Prince|Harry Potter]]'' has one of these right in the middle of the movie. Harry goes to the Burrow for Christmas, which happens in both the book and [[The Film of the Book|the movie]]. However, in the movie, Bellatrix and Greyback show up for no apparent reason, Ginny chases after them for some reason, Harry quite understandably chases after Ginny, and then Bellatrix sets the Burrow on fire. Big BLAMnon sequitur moment, as nothing about the scene makes sense anyway. It really didn't help that afterward, Ron and Ginny never mention the Burrow or even act like their house just burned down. Uhh....

** ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and Thethe Prisoner of Azkaban (film)|Prisoner of Azkaban]]'' had one as well. Shortly after arriving at Hogwarts, the students proceed to the dormitory, but are unable to get in because the Fat Lady is too busy trying to break a wine glass by singing to accept the password.

* Don't forget ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows- Part 1]]'' and that dance scene with Harry and Hermione. Comes out of ABSOLUTELY''absolutely NOWHEREnowhere'' and adds [[UST]] between the two that was completely (well, almost) absent from the books. 'Y know, what with the whole [[Like Brother and Sister|''she's like my sister'']] speech he gave Ron in the book to get precisely that clearly out of the way...

** Agreed. And made all the more poignant and unsettling by the song they dance to... yeah, the two of them bouncing around like little kids to the dirge-like gospel-choir-accented "O Children" by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds is just a little bit... I don't even know the word. This troper wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry at it.

*** It has been suggested that this was thrown in by screenwriter [[Steve Kloves]], who wrote all but the 5th movie, as one last Harry/Hermione shipping moment before he was forced to go with the official pairing. Kloves has stated that when he started writing the movies he had assumed Harry and Hermione would end up together, had written the first few films under this assumption -playing up their relationship- and was surprised when J.K. Rowling did not go this way.

** In ''Deathly Hallows - Part 2'', when Voldemort gives his ultimatum to the school, some random little girl we've never seen before starts screaming. And screaming. It served no relevance and no one really reacted as you would expect.

* However, the biggest ''out of all mentioned'' may be when Voldemort gloats to Hogwarts that he has {{spoiler|killed Harry}}. The scene is heartwrenching, dramatic, and you're waiting for Harry to spring his trap. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLKzJtjyc0E But then Voldemort suddenly laughs this WEIRD''weird'' laugh, and breaks all the tension. And later he hugs Draco. Awkwardly.]

{{quote| Voldemort: '''Heh-heh-heeeeeeh!'''}}

* ''[[An American Werewolf in London]]'' has a scene where the main character is at home with his family, and then they're attacked by machine-gun wielding Nazi werewolves. It was all a dream -- butdream—but what does this have to do with the rest of the movie? Nothing whatsoever, that's what.

{{quote| "Did you motorboat them? You motorboated them. You motorboatin' sonofabitch!"}}

* ''[[¡Three Amigos!|Three Amigos]]'' has a brief sub-plot about tracking down a singing bush and an invisible warrior; it has ultimately no bearing on the plot, which has no other fantasy elements.

* At one point in ''[[Groundhog Day]]'', Phil goes to a late showing of "Heidi II" dressed as the titular character from ''Bronco Billy'', along with a woman dressed as Ms. Lily. Who she is, how she knows Phil, and why they're showing up for a movie wearing costumes from a different movie are never explained.

* ''[[Clerks II]]'' includes a deliberate BLAM when Becky is teaching Dante to dance and the entire cast and extras break out into a lip synced rendition of ABC by the Jackson Five accompanied by a complete change in directorial style, cinematography, and colour saturation.

* The super nova scene in the ''[[Lexx]]'' telefilm "Supernova". Sure, you may think a scene where a supernova occurs is supposed to be epic...but not when the two planets involved in said event suddenly start ''speaking''. '''In English'''. To the main characters. Explaining that it's time to dance. What...the...fuck?

* The part in the American film version of ''[[The HitchhikersHitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy (film)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'' where flyswatters come out of the sand to smack the protagonists.

* In Hollywood films before the 70s, many musical routines featuring minorities come off as bigNon lippedSequitur alligator momentsScenes. [[Values Dissonance|This was so these scenes could be edited out easily for Southern audiences without affecting the plot]].

* In ''[[UHF (film)|UHF]]'' Weird Al's character, George is seen watching an old rerun of "The Beverly Hillbillies" as he dozes off at his desk, which leads to an odd dream sequence with Weird Al's parody of Dire Strait's "Money for Nothing" simply titled "Beverly Hillbillies," complete with a computer generated music video. While there are several other dream and musical sequences in this movie, this scene is the most out of nowhere. It also adds nothing to the plot and afterward, George awakens and the scene is never mentioned again.

* ''[[Harold and& Kumar Go to White Castle]] Go to White Castle'' features a hilarious, but nonetheless pointless BLAM. As Kumar tries to break Harold out of jail, he suddenly smells a bag of weed and then has a bizarre fantasy involving marrying the bag of weed, complete with "Crazy on You" by Heart playing in the background. This fantasy scene comes out of nowhere, adds nothing to the plot and is never mentioned again.

** Danny Boyle jumped up and down upon receiving the Academy Award for best director. His explanation of "my kids made me promise to do so" doesn't really help in making sense.

* ''Wayne's World 2'' features a completely random spoof of ''[[Jurassic Park]]''.

* ''[[Hobo with a Shotgun]]'' has two [[BLAMNon Sequitur Scene|BLAMs]], the first being after the Hobo shoots Slick's genitals off, he is taken literally on a bus ride to hell as he dies from his injuries. By the school bus he torched full of children, earlier on in the movie. The scene is never mentioned again. Then later on in the movie, after the Hobo is captured by The Plague and taken to their hide out, The Plague are seen to be fighting a shrieking creature of some sort, mostly around a corner and off-screen. All that is seen of it are it's tentacles. This is never explained.

* In spite of being a psychedelic-era art film, ''Zabriskie Point'' has a coherent enough plot for two very explicit [[BLAMNon Sequitur Scene|BLAMs]] to be seen. First, after viewing the titular landmark from a viewpoint on an otherwise deserted highway, the two leads Mark and Daria hurry down a desert slope and com mence making out. Guitar music plays. Then it starts showing other people making out in that desert - first couples, then groups. BLAM. Second, there's the [[Stuff Blowing Up]] montage (set to "[[Pink Floyd|Careful With That Axe, Eugene]]"), just before Daria drives away into the sunset and the film ends.

* The middle of the "Smooth Criminal" music videosequence from ''[[Moonwalker]]''. It starts as a normal as anything involving [[Michael Jackson]] canmusic video, but then about four and a half minutes in...[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWdGIbZKtmg#t=04m34s this happens.]

* The video for ''Black and White'' actually ''begins'' with a BLAM. Macaulay Culkin guest-stars as a [[Cool People Rebel Against Authority|"cool"]] young boy whose [[Straw Loser]] father keeps demanding that he turn down his rock music. The kid responds by using [[The Power of Rock]] to blast his dad clear through the roof and several miles up into the sky, only for him to come crashing down on a plain in Africa surrounded by lions, whereupon some Masai tribesmen begin dancing and Michael Jackson launches into the lyrics. The dumb father is never seen or heard from again (and no, it's never implied that the lions ate him). Culkin does reappear later in the video, but only to [[Piss-Take Rap|lip-sync some rap lyrics]]. And as if all that weren't bizarre enough, the video eventually ''ends'' with a BLAM: following a violent, orgiastic, rain-soaked street scene that ends with Michael tearing his shirt off and transforming into a black leopard, we have major [[Mood Whiplash]] as we cut immediately to a scene right out of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', with Homer angrily barking "BART!" and Bart retorting with "Don't have a cow, man!" or something of the sort. Other than the fact that [[Book Ends|this final sequence mirrors the theme of the similarly BLAM-y opener]], there was absolutely no reason for it.

** Well, midi-chlorians come up several times later in the movie, and they explain why Anikin is so important to the plot, so it doesn't exactly have no relevance.

* A cut scene from [[Scooby -Doo (film)|the Scooby-Doo live action movie]] had Velma break out into song (Can't Take My Eyes Off of You) for no reason.
