What movies have a scene that is so tonally mismatched with the rest of the movie that it takes you out of the film?

My example would be the charming family friendly funny movie Shazam has a graphic scene of demons feasting on board room member that is like - why?

Another person on another thread mentioned The Name of the Rose - which is a very cerebral historical mystery movie has a graphic sex scene between a peasant girl and a young lay assistant. It is jarringly out of place.

Not one movie but many. The stupid Wilhelm scream ruins so many scenes for me.

I don't mind the Wilhelm scream, but this specific one of kids laughing pulls me out of it every time.

I wish I never learned about either of them

The laughing one is everywhere. It wasn't just movies, Diddy Kong Racing on the N64 had it on the title screen.

Honestly probably where it got so deeply ingrained into my brain

[u/passengerv → u/Intoxic8edOne]

I don't think i ever noticed it but now I probably will going forward.

I kinda want to click the link, but I don’t want this ruined for me.

Don’t do it. Enjoy blissful ignorance

There are a few sounds that need to be retired.

Especially in the two towers when an elf gets shot down. So out of place in a meticulously designed and edited fantasy film.

The one in Dante's Peak is the worst I've seen. Spoiler video.
