Non Sequitur Scene/Film: Difference between revisions

Line 201:

* Steiner's hallucinations in the middle of ''The Cross of Iron'' come out of left field and create the impression that his mind has been shattered. But after he abruptly returns to active duty he's pretty much exactly the man he was before, and that plot thread isn't mentioned again. His affair with the nurse (which was apparently real?) also occurs for no reason, and never comes up again.

* The cheesy sci-fi movie ''12 to the Moon'' (as seen on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'') has a strange moment where, after kicking the earthmen off the moon, the moonmen insist that they leave the expedition's cats behind, as the moonmen find them intriguing. The Earthers leave the cats' cages behind, and we're treated to a shot of shadows approaching the cats, and then... nothing. The cats are never mentioned again, and there was no build up to why the moonmen were so taken by the cats. Companions? Test subjects? [[Eat the Dog|Snacks?]]

* In [[Ed Wood (~~Creator~~)|Ed Wood]]'s ''[[The Sinister Urge]]'' (also seen on [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|MST3K]]) there is a fist fight between two young men in a diner which turns out to have nothing to do with the film's plot and involves no characters from the rest of the film. One of the young men in the fight is none other than Ed Wood himself.

* George Lucas' old film ''[[~~THX 1138 (Film)|~~THX 1138]]'' has a scene in the middle of the main character watching holo-television. Unfortunately, it seems to be a bizarre porno: a holographic, overweight person dancing violently, jiggling everywhere. For about five minutes. Did we mention that this is apparently the ''focus'' of the scene for five minutes?

** Nowhere near as random as the moment, near the beginning, when the view inside the tape recorder machine reveals an iguana with moth wings growing out of its back. Was that what was controlling the machine? Was it a pest? How did it get in there? How does it even exist?

*** The reptile inside the machine reveals that nobody keeps the said machine clean; nobody ''controls'' the machines. They function on their own. The entire system functions on its own. There is no [[Big Brother]]; humanity is simply auto-restraining, auto-censoring, auto-oppressing.
