10 More Terrible Extras Who Completely Ruined Their Scenes

8. Literally The Worst Crowd Ever - Return Of The Musketeers

Direction: Just act naturally. Response: Immediately forget what natural means.

In the background to this important scene in Russian musical Musketeer film Return Of The Musketeers, not one, but three Extras take it upon themselves to utterly upstage the foreground action.

There must be something about being given a black hat with a white feather that made Extras on the film feel entitled to be ridiculous: first the central actor, with the very obvious effeminate touch, shows his range by reacting wild-eyed to the most meager of prompts, and then the two "artists" to the right hand of shot jostle to remain in shot, looking directly at the camera on at least two separate occasions and generally drawing way too much focus away from the central action.

Shame on you, you merciless attention seekers, and never blight our screens again!
