worst movie extras before we begin we

to subscribe for more great content for

this list we’re looking at film extras

who stoled the show for one

unintentional moment in all honesty

these scenes should have probably been

reshot but thankfully for us they

weren’t no good still we can’t contain

it number 10 the lazy student 10 Things

I Hate About You oh let’s just say I’m

taking care of it

starring Julia Stiles Joseph

gordon-levitt and Heath Ledger this

romantic comedy takes William

Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew and

adds a solid dose of teenage angst the

scene in question involves the soccer

coach a wayward arrow and probably the

laziest student ever after the archery

team accidentally uses mr. Chapman as a

target a teenage girl is told to run

back to the school and call 9-1-1 the

extra jogs for a few steps before

stopping for a breather probably

assuming that she was out of the camera

sight clearly she was wrong number 9 the

Bruce Wayne is an expert martial artist

who dresses up as a bat and spends most

nights beating the hell out of henchmen

suffice it to say Batman can be rather

intimidating The Dark Knight Rises seize

the cage Crusader going up against the

powerful Bane who brings an army of

goons to Gotham and stages an uprising

sadly not all henchmen are born equal

and this one particular dude collapses

from Batman and Catwoman Zamir presents

why fight when you know you’re gonna

lose personally we think this particular

goon is the smartest of the bunch yeah

kidding me number 8 the rolling extra

die hard to die harder apparently

pretending to be running scared isn’t as

easy as most extras make it look who’s

to say how someone should react to the

sound of gunfire perhaps falling to the

floor with very little prompting we

might add and slowly barrel rolling is

the way to go

die hard to relocates John McClane from

a skyscraper to the Dulles International

Airport before forcing him to once again

prevent a terrible disaster this

unintentionally hilarious scene happens

after Bruce Willis engages in some

gunplay with two of Stewart’s Goonies

sending the extras into a panicked

frenzy also Rowling seems to be

contagious as another extra soon follows

the lead of our accidental scene stealer

that’s stupid arrogant son of a bitch

number 7 the happy-go-lucky swimmer Joss

you’re gonna need a bigger motion unless

you’re watching them attack from the

safety of your living room it’s really

best to avoid up close and personal

jaws turn Steven Speilberg into

Hollywood’s hottest commodity and served

as a precursor to future classics like

Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic

Park by today’s standards the shark

might look silly but the special effects

were great for the time and scared off a

few people from going to the beach still

not everyone was traumatized by Jaws as

demonstrated by this extra who seems

absolutely delighted to be involved in a

shark attack number 6 the frozen

children everything must go oh no I

actually went out to LA to study acting

while Will Ferrell is primarily known

for his goofball comedies he has proven

himself to be a capable dramatic actor

everything must go follows Nick a

down-on-his-luck alcoholic who needs to

sell his personal belongings after

sabotaging his job and marriage

desperate for a pick-me-up he visits

Delilah an old high school friend

leading to a rather odd moment as the

two adults talk the movie cuts back to

her playing children who are completely

frozen in place

it is never referenced by the other

characters so maybe the lila just

learned to never question their behavior

we doubt it so we just make it work

right Missy number 5 the exposed extra

Teen Wolf

[Music]

in the 1980s a decade with which Michael

J Fox was synonymous this campy fantasy

comedy saw the beloved actor turned into

a werewolf hey it was the 80s after all

meaning that no premise was too odd for

film while the hairy version of Marty

McFly is quite entertaining the actors

natural charisma is sadly overshadowed

during the climax after scoring the

winning shot in the basketball game a

packed gymnasium celebrates his Scott

our hero kisses the girl one student got

a bit too excited however and cheers

with this fly wide open dude trying to

cover yourself up just brings more

attention to it how the production team

number four the sweeping man Quantum of

Solace you the girl that just walked in

here if you give her that time to call

me that is not how a broom works after

Casino Royale brought James Bond back

into the public’s good graces Quantum of

Solace helped to taper off people’s

expectations for the future of the

franchise the writer strike force Daniel

Craig and Mark Foster to perform

rewrites and fill in the blanks of a

rather bare bones script resulting in an

understandably uneven final product the

story is not the only part of the film

that failed to make the grade though as

James Bond is temporarily eclipsed by a

man trying his best to look busy and

utterly failing at it James number three

the precognitive KITT North by Northwest

just a second you Steve how did

Hitchcock fail to notice this for a

brief second the master of suspense was

outwitted by a young boy with the useful

skill of precognition North by Northwest

is an entertaining thriller starring

Cary Grant as your average joke was

mistakenly assumed to be a secret agent

after barely surviving a stroll through

a cornfield the exhilarating third act

takes the action to Mount Rushmore

resulting in grants character getting

sadly this tense moment is undercut by a

young boy in the background who covers

his ears a few seconds before the

gunshot number two Doc Brown’s son Back

to the Future Part three a Back to the

Future Part three brought Marty McFly

and Doc Brown’s story to a satisfying

conclusion with one final adventure this

time to the Old West Christopher Lloyd

ends up finding love in the most

unlikely of places

as he marries a schoolteacher back in

the year 1885 the film ends with a

couple showing off their two children

although their youngest son seems to

have other things on his mind from Dan

elevenses uncomfortable expression come

here hand gesture and suggestive point

it seems like the actress flux capacitor

number one the tall stormtrooper Star

Wars Episode four a new hope a sign of a

great film is when even the accidents

are worth keeping a new hope introduced

Star Wars to the world and the franchise

continues to go strong today

stormtroopers serve as the Empire’s

disposable army and they are rarely

allowed to show any personality in the

original trilogy they’re one humanizing

moment comes during a hilarious scene

when a particularly tall stormtrooper

bangs his head on the doorway

intentionally left in or not this

goof-proof memorable enough to warrant a

callback and attack of the clones do you
