Venom: 19 WTF Moments

15. The Totally Insane Restaurant Scene

Depending on your perspective, the already-infamous restaurant scene after Eddie first bonds with Venom is perhaps the best or worst scene in the entire film.

A deeply agitated Eddie heads to the fancy fish restaurant where Anne and Dan are having lunch and starts manically telling Anne about everything that's happened to him.

At the same time, he grabs a piece of fish from a waiter's plate, takes a bite and then spits it out, hilariously informing the waiter that the fish is dead (presumably because Venom likes eating things that are alive).

Eddie then starts burning up and jumps in the lobster tank to cool down, before taking a big bite out of a live lobster. You can't fault Hardy for his complete commitment to the scene, as bafflingly silly as it is.
