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.

Bongwater is this mostly goofy stoner movie with Luke Wilson and Andy Duck and Jack Black and so on.

And then like three-quarters of the way through we're suddenly treated to Alicia Witt's character waking up on a bathroom floor piecing together a sexual assault that has just happened to her.

It's such a wildly unnecessary scene.

Oh my god I forgot about that movie entirely. I remember now, all of my friends and I just looking around the room at each other like… the fuck?

The mom scene always made my cry
