5. Charlie’s Angels (2000?) - I’m not sure if it was part 1 or 2, but the very first scene begins with a phone or possibly a radio they use to speak to Charlie with. Either way, it was ringing and ringing. Nobody was there to answer it until a Hispanic lady, sitting somewhere in the movie theater said, “bueno?…bueno?” in between rings, like it was her own phone. The entire audience laughed.
4. Don’t Remember the Name (Oops) – A group of bratty high school girls sat at the very front of the row and decided to be annoying by singing and yelling out random things that had nothing to with the trailer. A person in the crowd shouted “Shut the hell up!”
The annoying main high school girl turned around and yelled back, “Who said that!?”
Then another random person in the crowd shouted, “Just turn back around!”
“Say it in front of my face!” The high school girl stood up, obviously trying really hard to look tough in front of everybody.
At this point, everyone in the theater started yelling and heckling at the girls. We were all just pretty fed up and annoyed by the disruptions they’ve caused, but after that little chaos, they behaved quite well.
3. Mortal Kombat (1995) – I was only seven years old at the time and Mortal Kombat was actually the very first movie I’ve watched in a movie theater. When the credits started rolling at the end, some random guy sitting in the back, screamed at the top of his lungs ”MORTAL KOMBAAATTTTTTT!!!!!!! I was impressed. He sounded just like like the original yelling voice in the kickass theme song. As a kid, I was in complete awe I could’ve sworn it was the same guy.
2. Snakes on a Plane (2006) – This is one of those rare movies you had to see with a large group of people, strangers or not. When I went to see this movie alone, there were a lot of things that made the movie even better because of the crowd. I think it was just a combination of watching it with a fun crowd who happened to be really into the movie, and the fact that the movie is just plain silly. It kind of felt like I was in a really huge living room because everyone seemed so comfortable to a point where some of them yelled out stuff during the movie, which is usually unacceptable (see #4), but for this movie only it was suitable. For instance, some guy panicked and yelled out, “No…no…NO. Do not tell me the snake is going to bite her sweet tits!” We all laughed. Oh, and let’s not forget about the infamous Samuel L. Jackson line we’d all scream out in unison, everyone went berserk.
1. Signs (2002) – It’s that one stressful scene: Mel Gibson takes a kitchen knife, and he slides it slooooooowly under the door to catch a reflection of what was on the other side. As we were all in the moment of anticipation, a large Samoan guy sitting a couple of seats behind me abruptly stood up, brought his hands out and yelled “RAaaaaWWWWRRRRRR!!!” After that, all you could hear was everyone screaming at the top of their lungs, but it was quickly followed by everyone laughing hysterically (out of relief I’m sure).
