The 50 Most Ridiculous Moments in Cinematic History

...All taken from the same movie. The movie known as Johnny Mnemonic. On a hunch, I rented this 1995 film starring Keanu Reeves, the inimitable Ice-T, some random woman who was never in anything else, Henry Rollins, and, most importantly, star of He-Man Dolph Lundgren. But it wasn't the stellar cast that drew me into renting this film. Rather, the thrilling plot. Johnny M is a guy with an internal memory of, wait for it, 80 whole gigabytes, who somehow uploads something insane, like 300 gigs of data, into his brain. And -- you guessed it -- the added memory could make his brain explode. Anywho, the Yakuza wants what's in his head, and they hire a goon -- Dolph Lundren -- to find our beloved Johnny, kill him, and steal his brain. But if only Johnny had the password to download the memory himself! That's where Ice-T comes in. He's the head of the "Lo-Teks", or "The Goth Gang." He tells Johnny that he knows just the guy who can untangle all that "information" he's got bottled up inside, a guy by the name of Jones. That's about all you need to know to enjoy the following presentation: The 50 Most Ridiculous Moments in Cinematic History. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS WHAT THE FUTURE LOOKS LIKE. 1.
