Stupid/ridiculous film moments

I know there are a million, but I'll start.
I just watched the last few minutes of "Volcano" with Tommy Lee Jones (yeah, I know, they had nothing else on to help me finish my pizza). The film itself is already ridiculous, to say the least, but the last scene is about as stupid as you can get.
Tommy Lee sprints (in slow motion) past an exploding building (10 or 20 storeys high) towards his daughter (who is holding on to some kid ... can't and don't want to remember who that one belongs to). When he reaches the two, he leaps at them and knocks them, what, about 30 centimeters back?
Needless to say, they all climb from the rubble unharmed.
God, why do they shoot that kind of crud?
Now you have a go ...

Transporter 2. End of the movie with the plane crashing. If you've seen the movie you know what I am talking about.

Yep. A classic in that regard.
By the way, I love (seriously) really bad films and can watch them over and over again. "Plan 9 from Outer Space" tops my list of really, really, really bad films that are infinitely watchable (with friends and a couple of beers). Oodles of fun.

I think what you're missing here is most movies are for entertainment value and should be expected to have some fictional type stuff going on.
Do you really think there are little oompah-loompahs making chocolate for Willy Wonka?
A good example would be in MI3 when Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) was getting blown all over the place slamming his back into cars, trucks and vans... his back should have been broken half a dozen times but because this is a fictional movie, I just laughed it off.

My absolute favorite stupid moment is in The Mummy 2, when Brandon Frasier stabs the Scorpian King at the end and out of nowhere the mummy guy pops in from the left side of the screen and just screams "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" in the most horribly overdramatic way possible. It kills me everytime.

Nah, the Transporter 2 moment went from fictional acceptance to "we need to hurry up and get this film out the door so let's pretend that gravity and physics don't even exist".

I haven't seen Transporter 2, so I'll have to watch it now to see what you're talking about.
Side note, I can't believe you didn't question oompah-loompahs making chocolate for Willy Wonka :)

Gandalf the Grey + being almost dead == Gandalf the White + back with a vengeance and more bad-ass than ever.
What's with that anyway?
Sorry! someone was discussing Gollum in another thread.

But that is true to the book at least so if you read it you know what is going to happen and that's in a fantasy world so it even makes more sense for it to happen.

I probably skimmed over the whole part in the books where that explained this. I should probably read it again.
How about this one though:

In regard to pure stupidity in which every single scene was just ridiculously stupid I have to cite "The Marine (2006) with John Cena (John Cena?). God, it has so many errors, a non-existent script, horrible acting ... it should actually be a cult classic. Then again, cult classics should be fun, and this one is just bad. Watch it and decide for yourself. (Note: This was so bad that even my pay-TV channel that is notoriously famous for filling up programming holes with bad films only showed this one once ... that's like 100 times less than they would show other crummy films).
I get a headache from just writing two lines about this film.
And yes, I watched this one all the way through ... sort of - I was sorting two three-meter high piles of papers on the side.

"The Marine" (2006) is one long torturous scene of stupidity and non-existent acting.
