14 Most Out Of Place Scenes In Movie History

12. Mickey Rourke's Incredible Monologue - The Expendables

The Scene: Half-way through the movie, The Expendables' leader Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) swings by his pal Tool's (Mickey Rourke) tattoo parlour to chew the fat.

Ross mentions that he can't stop thinking about a woman he left behind on his previous mission, prompting Tool to counter by recalling a mission in Bosnia many years ago that's haunted him ever since.

His teammates had mostly been chopped up around him, but what truly sticks with him is a woman who climbed atop a bridge to kill herself, and though Tool could've stopped her, and perhaps save part of his soul in the process, he simply turned around and let her do it.

Why It's Out Of Place: For about 100 of The Expendables' 103 minutes, it's pure, unapologetic, nostalgia-fueled B-movie schlock, but this scene?

Rourke delivers his soul-stirring monologue with all the conviction you'd expect from a movie gunning for Oscars, and though it's an incredibly well-acted scene, it feels jarringly awkward in a film that saw Stallone and Jason Statham nonchalantly melt a bridge full of soldiers just five minutes earlier.

What's otherwise a dopey, fun action movie briefly grinds to a halt as it stops to consider the psychological consequences of war, and it couldn't clash any harsher if it tried. A great scene, but a great scene in the wrong movie.
