20 Greatest Video Game Movie Moments EVER
6. Interrogating Mr. Mime - Detective Pikachu
Detective Pikachu is absolutely packed to the gills with fan service and Easter eggs, but its most legendary scene? When Pikachu (Ryan Reynolds) and Tim Goodman (Justice Smith) attempt to track down Tim's father by meeting one of his informants, Mr. Mime.
Cue an outrageously surreal interrogation sequence where Mr. Mime decides to, well, mime, rather than co-operate with their investigation.
Through the art of mime he tells them to shove it and then crosses his legs, Basic Instinct-style, but in retaliation Tim decides to mime dousing him in gasoline, which finally gets him to play ball.
At the end of the sequence, however, Tim throws his mime-match to the floor, seemingly setting Mr. Mime ablaze as the scene cuts away.
Despite being the funniest scene in the entire movie, it's also one which was almost cut from the film, until the president of The Pokémon Company himself gave his express approval.
