10 Ingenious Scenes In Otherwise Terrible Movies

Though the second Spy Kids movie was relatively well-received by critics at the time of its release, it sure hasn't aged well.

Between its atrocious visual effects, irritatingly hammy acting, and general early 2000s-ness, this is a prototypical example of a sequel which instantly equates bigger with better, when ultimately much of the initial charm is lost.

Despite its numerous attempts to get really, really weird, it's a blandly family-friendly mish-mash that's more a candy-coated headache than an actual entertainment.

But how about that Steve Buscemi scene, huh?

Buscemi makes a brief appearance as crazy scientist Romero, and drops a one-liner so unexpectedly profound it stops the movie dead in its tracks for a good few minutes.

Romero asks the titular kids, "Do you think God stays in Heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created here on Earth?". Boom.

Almost 20 years later, the one-liner endures as a philosophical quote in its own right, to the extent that even many of the people endlessly reciting it online are shocked to discover it's from...Spy Kids 2.

Dialogue this clever surely belongs in a more meaningful movie, no?
