Memorable scenes in good films are too many to count, but trying to find a memorable scene in a movie I did not like is no easy task... A silly one came to mind.
Do you know how in just about every movie involving prison guards you have the guys walking by the cells, sliding their baton on the bars? Dong dong dong dong dong.... I always thought that was about being irritating, a kind of mental warfare with the inmates. Well, a couple years back, I saw a pretty boring Thai biopic called The Last Executioner. The main character was a regular prison guard before becoming the guy in charge of shooting people to death and in a scene he recalls how he learned the prison guard job. He explains that sliding the baton is done to detect if the bars have been tempered with! Dong dong dong dong: all is ok. Dong dong ding dong: problem.
It was like an epiphany seeing this scene.
