10 worst basketball scenes in movies

#8 Pleasantville (1998)

Released in 1998, the movie had an old-school, black-and-white theme. Playing the protagonists are a young Tobey Maguire (David) and the late Paul Walker (Skip Martin).

In one sequence, the two met in the middle of the court where David told Skip that Natalie Ramsey’s character would not date Skip. The frustrated Martin angrily flung the ball, which nearly went into the basket.

The shot was awkward at best and the reaction from the onlookers didn’t do justice to what the scene should have been.

#7 The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

Peter Parker and Flash Thompson is a classic confrontation in Spiderman stories. This time, they met on the court where Parker’s Spider-Man skills made a laughingstock out of the school bully.

The two met in the gym where Parker eventually humiliated Thompson with a thunderous dunk that broke the glass. Spider-Man jumped so high that he could have easily smashed the roof. The scene didn’t have the hilarity it probably wanted to come up with.

#6 High School Musical 3 (2008)

Music was a central theme of the story. Having Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens do a duet in the middle of a basketball game just looked a little off. Many fans found the scene somewhat over the top or too cheesy.

#5 Alien: Resurrection (1997)

Sigourney Weaver in space playing hoops is cool. Embarrassing Ron Perlman with his alien-like movies was strange and could have been done better.
