10 Most Pointless CGI Movie Shots Ever

10. $5000 Dog Poop - John Wick

John Wick is an incredible action film which makes extremely minimal use of visual effects, though the producers did stump up a princely sum to include a wildly unnecessary pile of dog crap during one early scene.

Shortly after John (Keanu Reeves) has been gifted a puppy by his dead wife (Bridget Moynahan), the dog is seen leaving John's house to relieve itself, and the audience is "treated" to a shot of the healthy deposit the canine leaves behind.

And while you probably assumed this was a $2 plastic poop lobbed on the lawn, it was in fact a digital creation, rendered to the tune of a mind-boggling $5000.

With the production unable to feed a laxative to their dog performer to get a "practical" poop, there was apparently no other choice than to rely on VFX.

Given the utter pointlessness of the shot and the film's modest $25 million budget, it makes no sense at all to be so frivolous with...dog crap of all things.

And even if you're going to render a CGI poo, why would you make it so perfectly coiled, as though to look fake? That's irony for you.
