welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie food fights for this list we’ve
looked at all the movie scenes in which
food fights break out for countdowns
more geared towards food preparation and
the actual eating of food in movies be
sure to check out our video for top 10
food preparation scenes number 10
milkshake inspired mayhem whip it the
world of roller derby is naturally
confrontational and in this scene the
rivalry has spilled quite literally into
lunchtime Ellen Page is the sports
newest star and that has rubbed some of
the Roller Girls feed wrong way fueled
by jealousy and armed with a milkshake
this standoff gets sticky very quick tea
drew Barrymore delightfully steals the
show though that pie in the face is
perfect and that battle call is first
class number 9 dancers do battle
streetdance 3d whatever you say – to
tennis – to what the majority of this
movie is extremely well choreographed
but at this particular moment and
ammonium ensues tensions are running
high and when one dancer this is another
things take a turn for the messy
it starts off as a face-off between two
but escalates into a massive brawl for
the taste buds boom we’re it not for the
opportunistic call for a food fight
there might have been a serious tone to
this scene but as it is things get silly
and slimy pretty quick number eight
snowball slash ice-cream fight Cloudy
with a Chance of Meatballs we move on to
the animated realm next and to a scene
that takes food fighting and makes it
fun for everyone especially Flint
Lockwood
the inventor has nailed down the idea of
ice cream but he’s a novice when it
comes to snowball fighting hey you want
to be in a snowball fight with us when
asked to step into a sub-zero scuffle
he’s nervous at first but a short pep
talk by the pretty sand Sparks and he’s
taken on the world with amazing accuracy
one defenseless victim at a time number
7
learning to cook fried green tomatoes so
what do you think okay
let’s race let’s be wrinkled another
example of where malevolence is
definitely not on the menu the fried
green tomatoes who fight is a favorite
among film goers with its latent
connotations toward lesbian romance this
moment was intended to be as symbolic as
any other lovemaking scene even if it
wasn’t as graphic need to make a little
paste used as a release of tension in a
similar way to scenes previously
mentioned this is also a fairly rare
moment of unrefined happiness and a
satisfying movie title drop to boot what
in the name of Christmas YouTube don’t
lay those Brides drained invadin number
6 zombies get pied in the face Dawn of
the Dead food fighting is fun in the
land of the living
but for fame zombie flick director
George a Romero why stop there the
zombie apocalypse takes a culinary twist
in this scene as Romero relays one of
life’s surest lessons when the dead rise
reach for the pies almost as satisfying
as beheading the monsters entirely the
old pie to the face gag never really
gets old which is oddly appropriate here
who needs guns when you got baked goods
number 5 the great pie fight Blazing
Saddles
the great
when Hollywood gets into a food fight it
leaves nothing on its plate this is a
studio commissary where some Hollywood
stars come to eat keep in line a canteen
filled with all manner of movie
characters might seem chaotic enough but
throw into the mix custard pies
meringues and probably every other type
you can imagine that’s when things get
really what Wow we’ll go to the special
effects department in this place there
are no corners to hide in and no doors
to hide behind everywhere you turn is a
tasty trap Yankee bean soup coleslaw and
tuna surprise as they all retreat to
lick their wounds we can only imagine
the flavors they found
number four keiki catastrophe the great
race Oh
when circumnavigating the globe it’s
important to get three square meals and
that’s exactly what’s not happening here
– we’ve got to get out of here in this
particular section of the great race a
chase leads to a fall which leads to a
cake which leads to chaos perhaps the
most pleasing element to this edible
incredibleness is not that one of the
participants appears to be well
practiced in the art of pie throwing
please food is flung faces are hip but
aiming accuracy is almost always off and
that’s what makes it great
Oh terrific let’s go I got the cop go
number three lost boys and lots of food
hook if anything serves as a reminder
that growing up is overrated it’s
fighting with your food Peter Pan and
the lost boys are settled down for a
supper when the first flan filled shots
are fired and war is declared pockets
this scene begs the question why waste
time eating food when you could be
pulverizing your pals with it it
Neverland they love the smell of nougat
in the morning and table manners are not
to be trusted
it’s all about getting your five a day
helping of fun number two popping zits
Animal House thanks doc the bar Oh game
bar if you’ve ever been in a position
where the majority is putting you down
and if you’ve ever been struggling to
think of an appropriate response then
just remember John Belushi and Animal
House
filling your mouth with squelchy stuff
and then spewing it all over your
fellows at dinner is childish stupid and
downright effective when it comes to
instigating a food fight amma’s it this
is no place for a guy in a neck race but
it’s fantastic foodie fun for pretty
much everyone else before we unveil our
number one pick here are a few honorable
mention
number one whipped-cream weaponry Bugsy
Malone okay a gangster flick for kids
prohibition made child-friendly they
said it could never be done and then
actor Alan Parker replaced his bullets
with custard genius that way there’s no
actual murder but the symbolism won’t
elude the adult mind either
it’s so simple literally very sweet and
it makes for the messiest of final
showdowns
it’s the gastronomic Godfather of all
things food fighting and the only offer
we can’t refuse is to go for a second
helping a culinary masterpiece of mob
culture do you agree with our list which
food fight did we forget for more very
messy top 10s published every day be
