25 Films That Intentionally Spoil Other Films

Amy Schumer is nobody’s idea of a great actor, but there’s no denying she’s a better actor than she is a comedian, and Judd Apatow’s Trainwreck proves that. The film stars Schumer as hard-drinking, hard-living, promiscuous magazine writer Amy Townsend, who finds herself in a serious relationship for once with the subject of one of her articles, orthopaedic surgeon Aaron Conners (Bill Hader).

In an effort to bring her into his world, Aaron gives Amy a shot of some of the next-gen technology he uses for orthopaedic diagnosis and management. Amy is kitted out in a mo-cap suit and made to walk on a treadmill, in front of a screen that shows her movements and gait in a muscular-skeletal form. After a bit of back-and-forth banter involving pimp-walking and goose-stepping, Amy decides to take aim at The Usual Suspects (1995) and says one of her ways of walking is like "Kevin Spacey at the end of Usual Suspects." Bill Hader's character says he hasn't seen the film, and she tells him it's Keyser Söze.

This is either a mean-spirited piece of writing from Schumer (who penned and starred in Trainwreck), or it’s because Apatow wouldn’t let her just walk like someone with a disability, and they had to find a different way to frame it. Either way, this is the moment to turn off Trainwreck and just watch The Usual Suspects instead.
