Re: Bad Moments in Great Films
I give old movies a lot of leeway on that kind of stuff. Not only did they have to deal with censors who were harder on violence, it wasn't until the 1970s that we really figured out how to make movies. That's just being nitty(and I'm a massive nit. It bothered me in the most recent James Bond movie that the chip counts were all [censored] up in the poker game).
I thought of another good one, though of course we have to stretch the definition of "great":
The "everyone gets a text message" montage in The Bourne Identity, with all the gay GUI [censored] on the screen. That was cheesy as hell. And then the dude rappels through the window? That fight sequence was completely out of character for the rest of the trilogy, seemed like it belonged in The Transporter or some such.
Kurt Russell's mistress killed every part of Tombstone she was in, but that's more of a "Bad subplots in Great Films" thing.
