Before the days of Youtube and Jersey Shore… we depended on movies and television to interpret the craziness of debauched partying. Sometimes they made a perfect mirror to the world of those stricken with double vision and shaky sweatiness. Other times they failed horribly.
The filmmakers in charge of these party scenes were either completely disconnected Republicans or seriously abusing mind altering substances.
The Room
On this planet there exists many people who could be classified as genius. There are amazing musicians, world changing scientific minds and bold groundbreaking filmmakers. None of which can describe Tommy Wisseau. This freak managed to somehow finance a movie that is described by some of the most back acne stricken nerds on the net as the worst movie ever made. Tommy’s take on drinking definitely transports you to another time and place… when you were uncomfortable.
Kickboxer
There was a time when Jean Claude Van Damme was really good at making the same movie over and over. It paid the bills and afforded him many a night with a fiery vixen. The man made the same movie like 8 times… but one of those movies stands out from the rest. That movie is Kickboxer. This movie contains one of the most awkward and bizarre drunken scenes complete with dancing AND a crazy drunken kickboxing master!
Kontroll
Hungary is a place that knows how to party. Understanding this corner of subculture has given them the ability to create the proper drunk wino chick for the big screen. In the Hungarian movie Kontroll, this woman demonstrates her ability to way overact being drunk on the largest escalator in the universe.
Dead Bang
The 1980′s to Don Johnson was a glorious decade where his name was actually relevant. It was so relevant that when he wasn’t totally lighting up the acting world in the smash hit series Miami Vice, he was able to land seriously huge movie roles in films that can only be described as classic. One such film was Dead Bang. Apart from it’s ability to have the word “bang” in the title and not be hardcore pornography, the film also features one of the cheesiest party scenes you will ever witness.
Nightclub
Mexican and other Spanish speaking television is always interesting no matter whether or not you fluently speak the language. They always are able to deliver a hearty laugh. The 1989 movie Night Club features an insane scene of drunkery that comes complete with a bizarre woman and a creepy guy grabbin’ on a boob!
Star Trek: First Contact
One of the major problems with drunk scenes is the trouble actors and actresses have NOT going completely insane while they act it out. Even the Star Trek universe wasn’t immune from the horrors that overacting can do to a film. This drunk scene from Star Trek: First Contact is a bit much, even for the most pristine virgin Trekkies.
Barfly
You would think a movie entitled Barfly would be counting on good drunk scenes for it’s success. It seems like there should’ve been a meeting during production about the threat of not acting drunk properly. This old guy went too far with the scene instead of his career.
