When Skateboarding in Movies Goes Lame
I love it when I'm watching a movie, and along comes a completely ridiculous skateboarding scene ... I'm sure you've seen it. Skateboarding's popular right now, and it seems fun to shove skateboarding in for no reason! Often it seems like the person skateboarding doesn't even know how to skate. Or there are the scenes with incredible skateboarding that make absolutely NO sense! We've all seen them - share your favorite worst movie skateboarding scene. Describe the scene and name the movie!
Here's my favorite that I posted: The Land of the Dead is a terrible movie. It sucks. It's the latest in the Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, etc zombie movies chain. The one thing I remember from Land of the Dead is that one of the main characters is a skater. Cool right? WRONG! The actor obviously didn't know the first thing about skating. He carries the board around like a prop, and in ONE SCENE he gets on it ... and then pushes himself along by shoving off of stuff around him. At like 2 miles per hour. Which is not fast enough to escape the zombies, and he dies. The end.
