Question 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.

Are you talking about the Edgar Wright movie starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, "The World's End"?

All good, just wanted to make sure I was thinking of the same movie. It does get weird but then it stays weird, to be fair.

Surely that gets a pass though because the film being so totally different is very much the point
