These movies might not be worth watching from start to finish, but they have some terrific scenes within them.

• Austin Powers in Goldmember
  • The opening scene is about a movie based on Austin Powers — starring a very famous actor as Powers.
•  D.E.B.S.
  • In a scene at 0:09 the main characters are spying on someone by sitting on swings high up in the building. It’s ridiculous, but for some reason I love the concept.
• Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
  • In the opening scene, someone poisons Indiana Jones and he has to find the antidote in the middle of a brawl. This leads to a scene where he has to fly a plane even though he’s never flown one before.
