Best heckle you've heard in a theatre?

Valmont

I always go to the earliest show on a weekday so I haven't heard any sort of heckle in years. When I went to the Savoy to see Sunshine (one of the last days it was on) I had the entire screen to myself. Brilliant.

Africa

"The Room". Iconic failure that it is,the showings of it still in America are legendary...

Excellent. You could've watched it in boxers and no-one would ever know :pac:

At a 6th year school outing to see a production of Shakespear's "Coriolanus" which was our play for the Leaving Cert - Corialanus' wife dies and he says (facing the audience) something like "she is dead, she is dead, what shall I do?"

And in a theatre full of hormone driven 17yr olds one guy shouts out "Ride her before she gets cold!!" There was a 10 minute intermission...

Caboose

During The Fellowship of the Ring, just as Elrond stands up and says "welcome to rivendell" a mate goes "mr Anderson". We broke our asses laughing.

We were giving him props after until he fessed up and said he read it in a comic book. Will google it and link it if I can.


*** edit; all props go to John Kovalic and his comic Dork Tower. Google ftw!

Skerries

a mate of mine when watching Titanic and the old Rose comes on screen he says "you still would though!", hilarity ensued

blow69

At 'Paranormal Activity' at the end where the

text reveals that her(the girlfriend/killer) body was never found

Girl(two rows in front of us): *gasps* I wonder where she is?
Guy(at the very back in the biggest scummiest Cork accent ever): She's at your gaff boi!

The whole cinema went up in laughter.

ScumLord

At the re-release of the exorcist at one of the scenes where the girl is screaming and roaring some farmer at the back of the cinema shouts "it's like being at the mart" there wasn't many of us there and we all cracked up the film lost it's scary then and we all just started taking the piss.

This is one of those stories that doesn't work without my explaining some context, and this context gives away where the story is going, so it's kind of a Catch 22. Anyway, you guys remember a few years back when all the speed limits changed from being in MPH to KMPH? I went to see Team America just around then, and when the rating came up, it was 16. Now, this was, to my knowledge, the first 16s film in Ireland, so there was a general murmur throughout the cinema as everyone simultaneously said WTF. The guy right behind me said to his mate "Have these gone metric too?" It was one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

I heard the exact same thing tooooo, in fact I heard a guy tell this VERY SAME STORY last night as well!! *head explodes*

At Die Hard 4 when 2 old dears easily in their 70s sat behind me. All the carnage and chaos insues when one says "he shoulda died there". Then the other says in a a very loud tone "there, there he should of died a 100 times by now, hes as ould as me" I got a fit of the giggles

Yeah I usually go to the cinema during the day as well, I've seen a few films now where I was the only person in the screening.
Makes me feel....important.

I go to as many of the early morning cineworld screenings as I can.
Still seems to be a fair few people there though.
Of course it's better than going when it's packed and there are people talking.
AHHHH went to see Avatar (meh) and there were loads of people talking.
This lad and his girlfriend were talking far too much, I don't think she knew what was going on.
And then they was a group of kids making stupid comments that they thought were funny. AHHH melter.

Trinity dying impaled in some awful cheesy Matrix film moment, a very shrieky-total-contempt shrill cackle from a woman at a point where there was no sound from the screen.

People then had a good giggle at her, nice timing.

I think I did that same thing in my cinema. Everyone just broke their ****s.

Yeah, I went to the cinema in the States a few times, and they're much more vocal than us.. annoyingly so!

Can't remember what the film was but I was a few rows behind this pair of fools, one guy sitting behind the other. The guy behind was obviously kicking/tapping the chair in front, purposely or accidentally I don't know, when the guy sitting on that chairs stands up, shouts something like "How about I come back there and kick you in the back of the ****ing head", turns into a very amusing shouting match in the style you'd see in your typical American row scene, more enjoyable than the movie anyway. Security come in an remove the two offenders anyway and after the film was over we were all handed free passes and given an apology for what had happened as we exited.

Went to the Phantom Menace on it's first day of release, it was shít I know but the build up was something else. Everyone there, all waiting since Jedi for a new installment, everyone as giddy as schoolgirls.
Screen goes dark...



Guy two rows back screams out "YIPPEEE!"

It's all I remember from the film.

Went to see Harry Potter last summer with a bunch of ten year olds (babysitting them:D). There's a scene where they're in potions class and the teacher shows them a potion and asks them to explain what it is. Hermione steps forward and goes something like, 'It's a love potion, it smells unique to each person depending on what they find attractive. For instance, I smell...'
PAUSE
Ten year old beside me roars "GINGER!"

The whole cinema cracked up, it was pretty funny I have to say:)

My whole family decided to go to the cinema together to see Oceans 13 in Bantry. Got there kinda late and the movie was in the smallest screen and we all had to sit seperatly, some Foróige group were there, like a bus of 14yr olds.

Immediatley as the ads and 'turn off phone' message appeared the kids starting commenting on the screen, making noises on there phone, saying 'omg fire'. Trying to be funny.

2 mins into the movie the manager walked in and told them all to get out. Everyone else in the cinema applauded and there were loads of seats for my family to sit. Proper order!

BaZmO*

There's a great one I read on Overheard in Dublin......

In the Omniplex a while back, a particularly boring bit of the movie was on, when a cry came from the dark.

Shadow at the front (shouting): "Anyone! Is there a doctor here? Is there a doctor here?"

(Shock. Confusion.)

Voice from the back: "Here - I'm a doctor"

Voice from the front: "Sh*te film, isn't it?" ...and sat back down

Voice from the back: "Little bastard - if I find ya I'll rattle ya"

In Baz Luhrman's Romeo & Juliet when she took the poison, my friend (who was thoroughly bored by then) turned to me and said "If she stuck her fingers down her throat and threw up now, she'd be alright" :pac:

marwelie

Not so much a heckle either but however........the funniest thing I've ever seen in a cinema happened when I went to see Sleepers with a friend from work. He's not known for saying much, and his sense of humour is questionable (to say the least!) so when he stood up at the end and proclaimed with a dead straight face that it was the best film he had seen that year (considering it was about the 4th of January) I nearly wet myself laughing as did most of the people around us.

I went out to watch 28 Weeks Later with an ex.

And theres a part where a mother looks at her son's eyes and notices they're a funny colour (indicating he's a zombie)

the boy asked "Am I one of them?"
and the mother said "...no"

It went silent shortly after that, just quiet enough to hear someone in the seats shout "Liar!" lol everyone burst out laughin.

hitlersson666

saw brothers with school and the whole thing was one long 2 hour heckle my fave was the the bit was at the end in the garden and my mate shouted... shoot him now so u can feek her now... lol

ashyle

I love when there's an atmosphere in the cinema, people laughing/screaming/gasping at the same parts. I find it impossible to stay silent in the cinema. I don't shout out things but I like to pass remarks to whoever I'm with from time to time. People that kick chairs or throw popcorn or randomly shout out things without any irony or wit reallllyyyy annoy me though.
Americans are great I think! Saw Drag Me To Hell when I was in the states and the people in the screen with us just made the film for me. Its such a funny gross film that everyone was 'UGH' at the same times and slagging it off.

This wasn't a heckle but was one of those things that helped the audience to, you know, bond and stuff?

It was during the previews, and the ushers were showing customers to their seats (film was sold out). At one stage, one of the ushers was talking to two lads on the stairs. He was shining a torch on their tickets, but for some reason wasn't taking them to their seats. He was saying something to them, but I don't think the two lads could hear because of the noise on screen. Finally the usher raised his voice and said 'THESE TICKETS ARE FOR TOMORROW' just as a quiet bit in the previews came on. 'Ah ye f*cking eejit' said one of the lads to the other, and out they had to go with their buckets of popcorn.

Another fine mess! : )
