Movies that inspired you to do stupid things

Yeah, you know what I am talking about.  Let me give you some clues: oija boards, seances, bloody mary, ghost hunting, light as a feather stiff as a board.  The list goes on.  In witchboard I learned that you must NEVER use the ouija board alone or we could become possessed like the little girl from the exorcist.

But there was one time I remember that the anthology Freddy's Nightmares got my friend and I at the time to try and get into one another's dreams.  Yup, we laid there like idiots for about 20 minutes trying hard to fall asleep.  Needless to say it didn't work.

However, I DO have some cool true ghost stories.  Man we have ghost stories passed down in our family.  It seems each generation has had their share of experiences.  No one use to believe me until my mother told them the same stories....even about our old house.

Anyone else do stupid things that was inspired by a movie or series?

I went around my neighbourhood with a lawnmower trying to kill zombies, but instead, brutally 'trimmed' a few pedestrians...

It was later found out the media was to blame...



Um, I've done plenty of stupid things, but none really inspired by movies.  I can imagine alot of jackass type answers here.  Come on, who has stapled bits of their body to other bits, which really shouldn't be stapled in the first place?

hey I know people that copied some things from movies...and doesn't have to be from a horror movie persay.  I remember in a game of truth or dare, one guy confessed to copying "Buffalo Bill" in that infamous seen where he tucks his you know what and looked in a full legnth mirror.

There are lots of stupid things...what about something from dazed and confused or Jack ass...I mean, the list can go on

I donned a Superman cape & shirt when I was 8 or 9 and jumped out of my neighbor's tree into the deep end of their swimming pool.

It was at least a 15-20 foot drop.

That is just too cool.  Could've broke your neck, but you didn't and have a great story to tell (just make sure you don't tell your kids about it until they are of a logical age) lol

I drove through the wasteland in my Australian Falcon in search of gasoline and met up with not only a group of people living in a refinery, but also a group of vermin trying to get their gas. Wait a minute, that wasn't me...

I don't recall that I ever tried to copy anything out of a movie but I suspect that my first wife must have been trying to live out Debbie Does Dallas or some kind of porn along those lines.

odinn, that story about your first wife, whilst image wise is quite disturbing, isn't probably quite right for this post, unless living out Debbie Does Dallas with you is classed as a stupid thing!

Sorry, but it was just sitting there, waiting to be used...

Dean,
I never said she was trying to live it out with me. I think if you read into it a little, you will understand what I was getting at.

Ah yes, the stooges. Gave my dad a poke in the eye imitating them as wee lad. That was when it was first explained to me that most of the violence was fake.

Ironically, when I got older, I learned that most of the smacking around was real. Apparently, Larry had a hell of a callous on the side of his face.

I tried tampering in God's domain where Man was not meant to go!!!

OK I really didn't, my practical sciencej ust doesn't go that far.  I had a buddy who used to go cloudbusting like in the "Fisher King".  Details are sketchy, and I never had enough beer in me to go along.  Don't kill me Dave, please.

About the closest I have to this is once while playing softball at a family get together, as I was running to first base I began to do the screaming charge like Han Solo charging at the Stormtroopers in "Star Wars". It worked, the kid playing first base freaked, ran away from me, and missed the ball when it was thrown to him.

But most stupid things I do are self-motivated, so I can't even blame them on the media, even if I wanted to.

I think after watching Goldeneye I wanted to try bungee jumping. Except it wasn't with the newest equipment while falling from a selected area. Instead it would have been: A weak rope tied around my ankle and jumping off from the top bunk of the bunk bed. I was ten but my brother and his friends talked me out of it.

Now it's time to sing the nation anthem IN AMERICA!!!

This subject has actually been discussed in a couple previous threads on this board;

Ghosts and Legends
True Horror stories

Well gee, hasn't every guy? Hey, why is everyone looking at me like that? :)

Well, there was that time I put on my old scout uniform and stood out in the rain hoping to picked up by a beautiful woman driving a classic Jag XKE, I didn't catch a ride, but I did catch a cold. No . . .

Anything that  I might have done or thought about doing that was stupid, cannot be described to seeing it in the movies. Though, probably the stupidest thing I have ever thought of doing was jumping out of the third floor window of the apartment house in which we lived, at that time, without an umbrella, just to see what would happen. This was while I was in grade school. Fortunately, I never carried it our, or I might not be here today.
