10 Movie Scenes That Went Completely Over The Top

1. Rambo, Conan And Ghandi - UHF

Nothing serves as convincing evidence that everyone was doing cocaine in the 1980s than Weird Al Yankovic's feature film UHF. Except Weird Al. He had the coherency to write a script that made sense while still including side-clips that would work equally well in an era-appropriate Saturday Night Live - it was producers, coked out of their minds, that gave him the greenlight who would one day dwell in high end rehab clinics.

Now a cult classic, Yankovic's work has time to indulge his every whim, from Conan The Librarian to an uber-violent Ghandi who orders "Steak, medium rare" before gunning down his opponents. And to its credit, pretty much every clip tops the one preceding it, allowing a bit of flow to what could have been a disjointed, tonal mess.
