Grindhouse was in my own opinion a milestone for movie going audiences, 2 full length movies, 3 hour runtime, complete and utter over-the-topness of the whole movie. It was a great thing for the cost of admission. Staying with the grindhouse feel to the movie they also included fake movie trailers in-between and before the feature(s). The Filmmakers also used some digital effects to add in film grain to help with the older style feature, even going as far to have portions of the movie "missing", as in a missing reel of film. Anyway, without further ado, the top 10 WTF moments.
11 - HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN -
I wanted to include this on the list but I can't include it on the main list for the fact that this fake movie trailer apparently only was in Canada, and it's not on any of the DVD releases as of yet. To re-cap my own experience with this it will explain why it is sort-of on the list. When friends and I all went to see the movie opening night, we had obviously had ourselves a nice toke before the movie, as usual. Sitting down in the dark theatre awaiting the movie to start, the lights dim excitement builds as the coming attractions start.....One normal trailer for something you know is coming soon, sweet....some small talk as the next trailer starts and we are treated to this --
And then immediately following that trailer it continues with several normal trailers and then the movie. Knowing there was going to be fake trailers even did not have me expecting them to put one randomly into the normal trailers lineup.....so that would be my first WTF moment of the movie.
10. "I Also Want Your Balls" -
After only 9 minutes into the movie we get to see that Abby (played by Naveen Andrews) is a little upset that his specimens are gone (of what we don't know just yet). The character Romy is attempting to explain but Abby decides that instead of oh I don't know something more normal, his assistant pulls out this jar filled with something that doesn't look to pleasant. Whipping out a very large knife Abby declares "I'm afraid I need your balls" which indicates that the jar is filled with testicles and also that they are about to hold this man down and cut his testicles out. WHAT THE F!?
9. Medical Exam Of Bite -
We get to the hospital only 10 minutes from the last WTF moment and well, I don't know how to put this one. Doctor Block is looking after a patient who has been bit by something which he won't tell us, althou we know it's a zombie/mutant thing. While looking at his bite, the doctor in the background is pulling up all these sick pictures of crazy infections from all over and that starts the WTF. Continuing while all this is happening the doctor at the computer seems way to calm about the whole thing. Finishing off the WTF is a moment later when Dr.Block decides to squeeze on a gross boil/bubble thing in the patients mouth that proceeds to squirt out and onto the good Dr. WTF?!
8. Car Door Hand Break -
Comparing this to the other WTF moments might not be nearly as shocking, and unfortunately the pictures don't do this scene justice. Dr. Dakota Block is escaping from the hospital which has basically broken out with zombie/mutant things and general chaos has broken out. She makes a run for her car in the parking lot, but her hands are still nearly unusable thanks to her husband injecting her with anesthsea. Getting to the car she realizes she can't open it without use of her hands and decides to put her hand in the hanlde awkwardly and try and use her foot to push the button to open the door. As anyone could probably tell this was not a good idea as she slips and breaks her hand. The reason I wanted to include it on the list is the impact of it, the sound of her hand breaking and of course her screaming from the pain of it equals What the fuck!?>

7. Parenting of the year award! -
The same smart smart woman from number 8 is back again! This time she decides to tell her small child to use a gun that was in the glove box to defend himself in the car incase monsters try and get him. First off? He's a kid, even if he knew what he was doing properly I doubt the recoil would be something he could handle. Let us continue with this for the moment. Before leaving the child in the car she advises him to shoot anyone that comes to the car that isn't her to shoot them in the head, just like his video games. Getting out and closing the door is all good as she starts to walk towards the house....and..... *BANG!* the gun goes off and the kid has already managed to shoot himself in the head. WTF>?! Well - at least he's got decent enough aim!

6. Film Reel Burns and missing!? -
Knowing this is part of the movie and the way it was ment to be is always something to keep in mind, but when the going is getting good - aka - sex scene or some nice tits and ass the film strip pauses a moment then burns up into nothing-ness. Once that is done we are treated to a quick note advising us of a Missing Reel. No biggie, a missing sex scene isn't the end of the world, lets continue then we say as we wait for the movie to kick back in. Suddenly we are back in the movie and the entire building they were in is up in flames, and the sherrif has been injured and we don't know how...oh and some sort of crazy plot point about Wray was revealed and we are now totally lost. - What the Fuck!?
