The Moment: During the climactic battle between Ant-Man and Yellowjacket, the pair end up shrunk on a toy train track, where Yellowjacket derails poor Thomas the Tank Engine.

He then picks him up and hurls him at Ant-Man, who deflects him onto the window sill, and when Ant-Man hurls a Pym Particle disc at Yellowjacket, he knocks it into Thomas, who is "embiggened" as a result, destroying the front of the house and landing on top of a police car.

Why It's So Ridiculous: It's everything an Ant-Man movie should be, basically: goofy, weird and absolutely hysterically funny. Though the trailers annoyingly gave away the big surprise, the extended sequence was still one of the movie's sure highlights, and totally in the bonkers Ant-Man spirit.
