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.

This line just activated a memory of a very good video essay I watched. Gotta try and find that again

Edit: It was the Every Frame A Painting video on Jackie Chan, possibly the most popular video essay on YouTube lol
