18 WTF Moments From 2017's Summer Blockbusters

8. Poo Flinging - War For The Planet Of The Apes

The third entry into the new series of Apes movies is a visually stunning, emotionally devastating masterpiece...but that doesn't preclude it from featuring a sequence in which an ape flings poo at the back of a human's head, no sir.

In order to creation a diversion so the young apes can be rescued, Rocket hurls a lump of apes*** at one of the guards on patrol. It satisfyingly splats all over the back of his head, at which point the guard touches the back of his neck and realising what's happened, screams, "You animals!"

The guard then jumps down to investigate, only to get another lump of crap thrown at his face by an indignant Rocket, before he's pulled underground and incapacitated.

This gag provided some much-needed humour in an at-times incredibly grim film, and the rest of the movie was mature enough that it easily managed to get away with something so knowingly juvenile.
