War movie scenes that went too far

Now for something entirely different, we’re going to close out the list with a movie that went too far in terms of its lighthearted stupidity.

Disney — yes, Disney — decided that they wanted to make a Vietnam War film. Not only that, but they elected to make a Vietnam War film that was a family-friendly comedy. What could go wrong?

The result was Operation Dumbo Drop, a confusing muddle of a movie about a Green Beret unit that is tasked with finding and delivering an elephant. For some reason. Regardless of the fact that it is supposedly based upon real events, it’s difficult to overemphasize how dumb this whole concept really is. The movie was greeted with an abysmal a 31% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, and did even worse with the audience, who gave it just 29%.

In a movie this bad, it’s really hard to pick out just one scene where things went wrong. So let’s go ahead and just put it this way: the entire mess went too far, plunging deep into the depths of folly.

Stay in your lane, Disney. War isn’t a topic that needs the Mouse’s treatment.
