Unintentionally Funny Moments in The Dark Knight Rises

[Deserana]

Nothing can beat the bank managers death in TDK. Joker shoots him and the camera lingers on him. No blood, no bullet holes. The bank manager merely drops down and doesn't even look in pain

Need to keep that PG-13 rating. Probably any blood would have put the movie in danger of receiving an R-rating, since it was so dark.

The bank manager didn't die...

He was shot in the legs and we see he's still alive when he's relieved that the Joker hadn't put a grenade in his mouth but rather a smoke bomb.

Ah yeah my apologies I just meant shot. Still it just never looked like he was shot... more like he just fell.

Even Foley's death in TDKR is pretty bloodless.

Maybe, but some deaths did use squibs. So it's a bit weird.

Foley's death was a strange one. Apparently in set videos he was ran over however in the film itself it is strongly hinted that he was shot.

Strange that Modine played Pvt Joker in FMJ.

The set video of him getting run down is in one of the threads about cut scenes and alternate takes. Can't locate it at the moment...
*edit* Found it. About 1:13

Actually, the bank manager was shot in the side. There was a quick blood squib as well. You can see the wound for only a short moment when Joker leaves but it's covered up mostly while he's lying on the ground.



I think I remember a poster mentioning that the biggest reason he's not moving is that a shot to the side like that might just keep you defenseless for some time. Can't really move around too much without being in a great deal of pain so it made sense for him to just lie there.

This also reminds me of Joker gutting the 2 guys by the pool table which I'm sure a lot of people missed. Cut very quickly again to keep that PG-13 in check.

That reminded me of the unintentionally hilarious compliment Joker gave to Rachel. He said that she was beautiful, and my friends and I started cracking up because she looked 90 years old.

Not to mention emotionless and pointless because nobody cared.

[Ecuanime]

Bane telling people what he's going to do them moments before.

to Merc: "Search him. Then I kill you"

to Batman "...then I'll break you"

Haha yeah. Maggie Gyllenhaal has looked attractive in films like Secretary, but not TDK.

[Nano-Knight]

My two would be this.

1. Obviously the "WHERE'S DA TRIGGA!!!?!?!?!!" scene, but it had more to do with me realizing that Batman has angrily intimidated someone demanding to know where something/someone is in all three movies. Even started texting one of my friends after he saw it and we were saying stuff like "WHERE IN THE WORLD IN CARMEN SAN DIEGO?!?!?!" and "WHERE'S THE MONEY LEBOWSKI!?!?!?!?

2. I don't know why (this could have been intentionally funny for all I know), but I did laugh at how ridiculously noisy Bruce getting knocked over by Selina when he first sees her was.

All three movies have unintentionally funny moments though (Batman magically flying up into the sky after saying nice coat in BB, and the faces he makes when using the Batman voice in TDK). Still love all three though.

Bane walking into the stock exchange and using more effort than I thought he would need to take people out. Then later Alfred carrying on about Bane's speed and strength after watching the video.

"His speed, his ferocity, his tangerine!"

Lol, definitely. She can be good looking with the right makeup and proper lighting.

LOL this. Bane really used more energy and movement than I thought he would to take those normal guys out. When Alfred was talking about Bane to Bruce his dialogue felt so forced. Like something out of a videogame.

[DJ Kornphlake]

Foley lying in that cliche dead person pose made me chuckle.

"What a lovely, lovely voice"

He was about to blow Gotham to hell and is a brutal monstorous man and before he does this devastating act he seriously and straight faced praises this young boys voice? Even though it is sadistic it is clearly intended to be slight comic relief for the moment.
