There are few things funnier in movies than watching characters lose their tempers and have huge outbursts like children. Here is a list of outbursts that have you rolling in the aisle.
- Room Service – Johnny Mnemonic
In sci-fi/action flick “Johnny Mnemonic”, Keanu Reeves (“The Matrix”) plays an information courier with too much data in his head. In one of the most memorable moments, he starts screaming and shouting as he demands luxuries such as room service. It’s truly hilarious.
- Take The Pink Elephant – Darkman
While on a date at a carnival with his girlfriend, Darkman (Liam Neeson “Taken”, “Schindler’s List”) turns violent when a carnival worker refuses to give him a prize. This rather cartoonish scene ends in violence and it’s all over a stuffed pink elephant toy.
- Car Rental – Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Steve Martin (“Roxanne”, “The Jerk”) loses his cool as he goes to hire a car. Filled with profanity, Martin goes ballistic at the woman behind the car rental desk. It’s the most shocking scene in the whole movie and shows us an angrier side of Martin than we usually get to see.
- Alphabet Rant – Vampire’s Kiss
You could probably make an entire list of outbursts from Nicolas Cage (“Face/Off”, “The Wicker Man”) movies but probably his greatest one comes from “Vampire’s Kiss”. During a meeting with his psychiatrist, he gets incredibly aggressive while discussing an employee’s inability to retrieve a file. In the most hilarious way possible, he explains the alphabetical ordering system for files.
- The Courtroom – Liar Liar
Jim Carrey (“Ace Ventura: Pet Detective”) plays a lawyer that finds he can’t lie for a whole day. The hilarity reaches new height during the lengthy courtroom sequence at the end where Carrey just goes absolutely crazy. It’s one of the funniest moments of his entire career as he badgers his own witness and repeatedly leaves the judge with a baffled look on his face.
