8 Movies Where Extras Got Totally Trolled

2. An Extra Got Popcorn Accidentally Thrown Into His Mouth - Fast Times At Ridgmont High

Fast Times at Ridgemont High is one of the most absurdly entertaining comedies of the entire 1980s, though one of its more slyly bizarre moments is one you've probably never even noticed.

During the mid-film football game, we cut to the stands and smooth-talking ladies man Mike Damone (Robert Romanus) can be seen jumping out of his seat in excitement.

Damone also flings the contents of his popcorn bag into the air, with a large piece of popcorn being catapulted directly into the mouth of the poor extra stood next to him.

In the same vein as The Last Samurai's horse victim, though, the guy barely flinches and keeps it together to ensure the take is usable.

Even so, nobody signed up to be force-fed popcorn that, let's be honest, is probably cold and stale or, worse still, fake and plastic.
