The movie trope of walking in on someone having sex is a common one, but it’s most often the result of someone making a surprise trip home, or getting off work early, only to bust in on their significant other, leading to sadness and pain all around. Sometimes, though, the reactions of those being interrupted are a bit more unusual than simply shock, or tears, or a defensive fistfight with a cuckolded spouse. In these other cases, the reactions can lead to some surprising situations—or possibly just some awkward ones.
15. Go shoot and curb-stomp some people and get hauled off to jail (Derek Vinyard, )
What’s worse than walking in on your brother (Edward Norton as Derek Vinyard) and his girlfriend (Fairuza Balk as Stacey) having sex? Answer: Feeling like you needed to in order to alert big bro to the gang members outside your house, who he then decides to shoot and curb stomp to death before being arrested and sentenced to (only?) three years in prison. Norton, portraying a neo-Nazi, manages to go from butt-naked to fully dressed killer quicker than most people can finish the job (so to speak). Vinyard’s jail time, however, includes fellow inmates brutally raping him without interruption. American History X is not for the faint of heart. [Becca James]
