10 Most Out Of Place Scenes In Sci-Fi Movie History

Sam Raimi may be back in the superhero fold with Multiverse Of Madness, but let's not forget the film that got him kicked out in the first place: Spider-Man 3. Tobey Maguire's third (though not final) run at the web-swinger saw him go up against New Goblin (James Franco), Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) and Venom (Topher Grace) in a messy and uneven conclusion to one of the first major superhero trilogies.

Despite the film's inability to control its characters and narrative flow, it manages its tone fairly well, at least until Peter Parker gets infected by the Venom symbiote and goes, umm, bad. He's so bad, in fact, he's going to dance into the street like your dad at a wedding.

Buying a black suit and dancing on the pavement, taking his girlfriend to a jazz club and dancing on the tables, and generally dancing his way into our worst Spidey-related nightmares, Peter goes full cringe in a sequence that is unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.

Sure, this is Raimi's humour down to a tee, but goddammit Sam, there's a time and place! Did this scene sound the death knell of the series? That is not for us to say. But what we can say is that Raimi was planning on making a fourth film and, well, that was 15 years and two additional Spider-Men ago.
