33 Bonkers Scenes That Were Left Out Of Famous Movies

Hollywood has a long history of producing some truly bizarre films, and some of the most unexpected scenes can be found in otherwise mainstream movies. For example, who could forget the moment in "The Matrix" when Morpheus offers Neo a choice between two pills, one that will allow him to wake up and see the world as it really is and one that will let him continue living in ignorance? Or what about the scene in "Forrest Gump" when Forrest unexpectedly finds himself on the grassy knoll in Dallas on the day that JFK was assassinated? These are just two examples of the many truly bonkers scenes that can be found in movies.
