Priyanka Chopra bandaged from plastic surgery.
  1. In Clerk, Ashok Kumar is dying of a heart attack, but when a patriotic song comes on the radio he is immediately cured and then gets up and starts dancing

2.In Mard, Amrita Singh is supposed to be an jailer in the 1940s British Raj but for some reason she wears a black vinyl dominatrix outfit while whipping Amitabh Bachchan

Totally appropriate costume for 1940s India.

3.In Swades, SRK tells villagers that “the only reason America is prosperous is because it is rich in minerals.” WTF I dont have any minerals

4.In Biwi No1, Karishma’s pet dog leads her across town on foot to Salman’s love nest where he’s about to have sex with Sushmita Sen

5.In Trishul, Amitabh tells his new secretary he expects her to work very hard. When she asks what time she should come to work, he says, “10:30am.”

Yes, my nipples have eyes.

6.In Mr India, the blackfaced backup dancers dressed as the Jackson 5 and fake African tribe playing trumpets during ‘hawa hawaii’

7.In Border, Sunil Shetty sleeps with his head in the sand because he believes ’Indian soil is powerful and will protect him from Pakistan’

8.In Singham, Ajay Devgan throwing jeeps full of goons like a rocket launcher

9.In Karma, Dilip Kumar machine gunning the word ‘India’ into a wall like a 1930s cartoon. Only in a Subhash Ghai film could this happen

Hairy Paresh Rawal in speedos. A WTF if there ever was one.

10.In Lajja, Manisha Koirala forgives Jackie Shroff for spending the whole movie trying to kill her simply because he said ‘oh I shouldnt have done that’

11.In Sawaan, Salman Khan tells a girl she is about to die, and she says to her boyfriend “oh baby lets go shopping” (not to mention sallu’s Jesus hair was creepy AF)

If a guy in the gym looks at you like this, run.

12.In Bachna Ae Haseeno, Ranbir doesnt marry Bipasha Basu whom he loves, because his friend tells him if he flies to Sydney he can have lots of sex with white Australian women

13.In K3G, the English kids choir singing the Indian national anthem, what the hell. Someone was doing Scarface levels of cocaine if they thought that was a good idea.

14.In Taal, Aishwariya’s manager tells a photographer ‘My client is an Indian girl. And Indian women are decent and don’t pose in their underwear’…even though she wore basically the same thing for the Miss World pageant

Back waxing salons are expensive darling.

15.In K3G, Hrithik goes to England overnight to “do an MBA,” despite doing no GMAT or completing any applications. When he gets there he says he has to stay ‘with an Indian family’ in London, because his hostel isnt ready (what billionaire’s son stays in a hostel); yet he has money to buy a Ferrari to romance Kareena Kapoor in. Actually you know what half of K3G was a WTF particularly bebo’s screaming and Kajol’s scowling at SRK the entire film

16.In Madhoshi, Priyanshu has plastic surgery and comes out looking like John Abraham. Yet later his face morphs back to Priyanshu

17.In Race, all of Saif’s bad CGI Batman jumps off of skyscrapers where he flies 500 meters and yet lands on his feet totally unhurt

Go from a Lamborghini Gallardo to some knockoff Turkish car.

18.In International Khiladi, Akshay and Rekha start mud wrestling in during a song and this is supposed to be hot foreplay

To think people pay to have this done in spas.

19.In Chalte Chalte, SRK driving overwater somehow from Mykonos from Athens
20.In Dhadkan, Sunil Shetty’s mom dying immediately when he tells her Shilpa isnt marrying him

21.In Tridev, Amrish Puri is supposed to be a smuggler but wears a green Peter Pan outfit (this entire film is one massive WTF, from ripping off Gloria Estefan songs set to jungle themed African porn, to grenade blasts that resemble holi being flung)

22.In Yalgaar, in the middle of a “hot” song, Sanjay Dutt starts doing random kung fu moves in tight pants for absolutely no reason

23.In Hero (with Sunny Deol), severe radiation poisoning gets cured with, quote, “The antidote.”

I dont care if we’re being chased by terrorists, we have to stop and do product placement!

24.In Mission Istanbul, Vivek Oberoi is being chased by terrorists but randomly stops his jeep to go to the trunk and drink mountain dew

25.In Bang Bang, the cop visits the terrorist in jail and he is sitting on the floor eating Pizza Hut

Honorable mentions: pretty much all of Akshay Kumar from the 90s especially his bizarre hairy speedo scenes
