You wouldn't think a movie about the pop music scene in the UK during the '70s, '80s, and '90s would be especially shocking, but it earns a place on this list thanks to the way it was publicized. The film's actors pelted each other with fake stuffed pigeons on the beach near a restaurant. Diners thought they were real pigeons, and all hell broke loose. The PR stunt was inspired by the time the British singers on whom the film is based were imprisoned for poisoning 3,000 pigeons in one day. Supposedly Joel and Ethan Coen were at a table, and they were highly amused by the whole situation.
