In Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever, the scene where they go over to someone's house and pretend to worship their refrigerator doesn't further the plot or character development in any way.
Looper when they're "torturing" the one guy and his body parts are disappearing one after another.

Ant-Man
spoiler
The first Ant Man had this rule where any objects that are shrunk will stay as the weight they originally were. Yet Hank Pym carries around a shrunken tank on a keychain! Scandalous!
One can surmise it's actually a life-sized model kit tank made out of cheap plastic, akin to how it works in Ground Defense Force! Mao-Chan.
But it drove through a concrete wall!

The twist ending of Now You See Me. Just stupid.
have you seen the sequel? barf
Nope. Nothing about the original made me want to see more of it.
The whole UFO scene in "Life of Brian".
Maybe not for the plot (since it's never referenced or brought up ever again in the film) but I think it does work thematically:
This would be the one real miraculous event in Brian's life. If anything, you would expect that a man who fell from a tower, got picked up by a flaming ball, and returned safely to the ground would be hailed as a holy person by all witnesses.
Instead, nobody gives a fuck and in the next couple of scenes Brian becomes a holy figure through entirely unrelated and mundane means.
Yeah, my main problem is with the whole "never mentioned again" thing. As it is, you could as well just leave it out.
The scene in Pulp Fiction where Butch kills Vincent.
I am pretty fucking sure it's actually a dream/imagined scenario by Butch, simply because when it ends, it cuts back to Butch in his car saying "that's how you're gonna beat 'em, Butch. They're just gonna keep underwstimatin' ya" as he pulls up to the apartment. But then, instead of getting to go in and grab his watch as he imagined, he instead runs into Marcellus in the middle of the street, leading to that whole thing with the rapists.
He does end up getting his watch, but after he and Marcellus part ways. Vincent never actually dies.

In Memento
Spoiler about Clothing
He just puts on someone else's expensive tailored suit, and it magically re-tailors itself to fit him perfectly.
That's not how fabric or thread works. And it was deeply disorienting in a film that is otherwise careful to ensure that details like that matter and are reasonable.

Chicago fire. Stella and Severide being "away" longer than expected. Out of the blue ignoring the other one. I know the actors had other work to do, but it was sloppy writing.
