Moments in AVP:R That Made You Cringe/Laugh

[Samhain13]

Wolf stood his ground. Preventative self-defense.

[Voodoo Magic]

There is a number of things in that...."movie" that can either be considered cringy or laughable and perhaps both.

1. Predator having no concept of gun safety aboard a spaceship and fires not once but twice, causing the ship to crash. Also had he actually hit the Predalien, the acid could have done the same (assuming the ship is not acid proof)
2. The father and son, running towards the crashsite instead of getting help immediatly (granted I can forgive a little curiosity and the father did intend to call the sheriff.)
3. Buddy tapping the ship with his gun, I might be alone here but I just don't see the point in it other than its a cliched way to be curious about something.
4. Buddy not taking his jacket off immediately, he had a good second or so warning once his jacket smoked. Also his reaction to having his arm melted off seemed understated. I haven't witnessed anyone getting severely burnt either by fire or acid but I would imagine it would be painful enough for you to scream at the top of your lungs, especially if your limb was being melted off.
5. The chestburster scene, previous versions have been somewhat plausibly with the creature taking time to punch through the sternum, here it pops out in like two "punches" for a lack of  better term. Buddy's body must be very soft, like plasticine or something.
6.Facehugger scene in the sewers, the first one has an interesting way of it happening, what with it coming out of the water but the way it subdues them is unusually quick even if they are chemically sedated.
The second homeless guy even seems to just let it happen, he grabs it and holds it back but instead of getting a tense scene like in Aliens where Ripley was literally fighting with everything she had and was actually choking, the homeless man just  seems to let go after seeing the warrior. One could make the arguement he was choked out as I remember the hugger being close enough that the tail was around his neck but he didn't seem to be  choking, what with the ability to make yelling noises.
7. The predalien knocking the other alien back, just seems out of place. The species are usually very cooperative to the point Ripley uses them to demonstrate how bad Burke was. "You're don't see them f***ing eachother over for a goddamn perecentage"
8. The sewer fight scene, could have been good but it was just sad for many reasons, nerfed aliens, incompetent predator.
9. Spine ripping scene, unnecessary and silly coming from a non-sapient species. It serves no purpose other than to assume the audience needs more proof that its a predalien.
10. Which brings me to the skinning of Ray, this was just stupid.
11. The Predator not acting the self destruct device when the ship crashed.
12. Wolf not activating his (when it still worked) when it became clear the situation was beyond his control (thanks to him making the situation worse a few times)
13. The super fast search party. I might be overreacting here but I thought police only consider someone missing after 24hours. (scratch that, I just remembered they found Buddy's melted off arm early in the movie)

Because this list getting too long, I might condense a few things into one section.
14. Wolf's behavior, he causes a blackout, he kills a man in a cemetary for no reason (don't bother justifying that with "armed person" he was on a clean up mission not a human hunt and the human was not even aware of him or a threat to him, wolf once just goes off mission for trivial reasons)
Took his time in taking his mask off against what is essential and animal which brings me to...
15. The predalien...just the predalien, nearly if not everything about it. The egg barfing, the waiting patiently for opponent to take equipment off, skinning and taking spines.
16. Most if not all the human characters. I think other members here already used the dialogue as examples.
17. You know what, just most of the movie really.

While some are deserving, me thinks it might be a stretch to classify some of these as cringeworthy or laughable.

Though, we do tend to pick appart that which we hate. 

[The Cruentus]

Hicks, Drake, Vasquez and Christie didn't really scream at the top of their lungs from acid.

I said severely, i.e your limb actually melting off, most of the wounds the above got were surface deep, though Drake got it fatally in his face and it was more than surface deem, his face looked almost skeletal. Also I think all the above did scream. May not be top of their lungs but appropriate for their wounds. Pay no attention to me, I'm tipsy and trying to take the edge of the pain. Not really working.

The guy in the cemetery was armed and acting in a loud and threatening manner.

Sure wolf could leave him alone, but what if he runs into the guy later and he spoils an ambush or something?

Predators don't care about humans, even less so when they are armed. The man's behavior could've attracted unwanted attention of other humans or the aliens. He was visibly angry, panicking, making noise and armed. That wolf plugged him is no surprise. He would've killed Kelly if she had picked up the gun, he made that message clear. Wolf was in no mood for that crap.

Why would Wolf worry about getting Xenomorph attention? That would suit his plans and in fact on two separate occasions he did purposely lured Aliens to him. Killing a human simply because he was armed and being noisy was just pointless and just there to add more gory and death.

Keep in mind the thread is called "Moments in AVP:R That Made You Cringe/Laugh, thus the list is just things I personally find laughable or head shaking worthy. No one has to agree with it. 

[SiL]

"People are dying, we need guns."
"The government doesn't lie to people."
"What is this, the Titanic? Screw the 'women and children first' shit!"
"She's dead, she'd dee-aa-aaa-aaad."

Aliens dropping behind people like sacks of potatoes.

Wolf strip teasing for Chet.

Chet letting Wolf strip tease.

Every time an Alien just kind'a sat there and took it while Wolf posed.

The effect of Wolf grabbing Chet's tongue. Just a kind of dodgy shot.

The Alien crawling towards the helicopter at the end.

"Get to the chopper!"

Wolf's head-stomp.

Jessie splitting in half.

The stoners in the store.

The cemetery scene.

"Shut up, Dale, you're too stupid to talk" -- but a genuine laugh, not a mocking one

[SM]

"She's dead, she'd dee-aa-aaa-aaad."

You reckon there was a performance note on her script for that?   eesh...

[SiL]

They mixed up her script with the pizza order and wrote "Extra cheese".

Fair point!

[Wysps]

Wolf strip teasing for Chet.

I didn't mind 

"Shut up, Dale, you're too stupid to talk" -- but a genuine laugh, not a mocking one

I think this line was probably the only one in the movie that I sincerely thought was funny. It was just perfect

100% Agree!

[The Runner]

New one: When Chet sicc'd one of the other aliens at Wolf and the alien had it's hands covering it's face as if it felt it wasn't worthy to bask in Wolfs glory. 

[LastSonofKrypton]

Everything he says and everything he does

Yeah, I like him as an actor but I must admit to me he felt a little bit of a miscast.

[Huggs]

Ortiz was solid.

[Samhain13]

If the movie had only focused only on him and Dallas it would have been a much more pleasant experience. The teens and the Ripley/Newt wannabes were uncomfortable to watch.

[Voodoo Magic]

Well the only time I cringe is when it's over, cuz warts and all, I love me some AvPR.
