10 Reasons Movie Scenes Turned Out THAT WAY

We've all been there, watching a movie when a scene happens that just seems a little bit out of place. 

There's just something totally off about it, whether due to the writing, direction, acting, editing, visual effects, or perhaps even a combination of the lot.

Sometimes a scene is odd enough that you might be left wondering precisely what happened during filming or post-production for things to turn out that way.

Now to be clear, this doesn't always mean that the scene in question is bad - in some instances it might be far from it, but nevertheless distinct from everything else surrounding it.

And that's absolutely the case with these 10 movie scenes, each of which are tough to forget for one reason or another - maybe they're a shambolic mess of editing, feature an infamous continuity error, or simply make puzzling choices that left the audience scratching their heads.

But each of these scenes ultimately has a reason for its very being - perhaps legal issues interrupted the shoot, the production ran out of money, or other restrictions forced the filmmakers to pivot, to name just a few...

After Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody rather dubiously won the Best Film Editing Oscar, a clip from the movie went viral, showcasing a chaotically edited sequence where Queen's band members meet their first manager John Reid (Aidan Gillen).

Considering the relative simplicity of the scene - a dialogue-driven sequence with basic coverage of characters talking - many questioned precisely why the film's editor, John Ottman, opted to cut more than 60 times in a scene lasting less than two minutes.

That's an average of less than two seconds per shot in a scene that, again, is almost entirely people talking.

But in an interview following his Oscar win, Ottman explained why the scene was such an editorial mess. 

Due to original director Bryan Singer being replaced with Dexter Fletcher for the final three weeks of shooting, Ottman was working with footage shot by two different people, much of which didn't naturally cut together properly.

And so, Ottman was basically doing the best he could to stitch together an even passably coherent scene amid extremely trying circumstances. 

Ottman also acknowledged being unhappy with the end result of the scene, saying, "Whenever I see it, I want to put a bag over my head."

While Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most questionable Best Film Editing Oscar wins of recent years, considering the fresh hell that Ottman was working with throughout the troubled shoot, you could certainly argue that he earned the gong in his own way.
