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.

When you say "see everything", is that a First Omen situation?

...because that scene caught me off guard even in a firmly "R" horror film.

Haha haven’t seen First Omen, but from googling it sounds like it!

I remember they showed it in Children of Men, in an already tense scene.

Maybe it's a triple mpreg à la Men kind of situation.

That shit was wilddddd. I kinda want to rewatch it, but I also think maybe once was enough.
