  1. The scene where the grizzly old guy is on speaker phone in Cabin in the Woods.

  2. Excellent choices, the Cabin the Woods one in particular.

  3. A few candidates from Looper, either the jump forward in time or the diner scene or the kid's first freakout. I think the kid's first freakout is the strongest bet.
