I never understand how these moments get left in. The Nolan one that annoyed me, for instance, there's absolutely no reason why that couldn't have been edited out - it's about one second long. And I can't believe they've been missed in the editing suite?!?!

It must have been the studio making Nolan put/leave that moment in, because we all know he is perfect. (Nolan)

What got me as a kid was that it was bad enough it was acid, but boiling as well? That's harsh

There does seem to be a high concentration of overacting extras from BB to TDKR.

There are at least 3 in the press conference scene in TDK when Dent turns himself in as Batman:

The random, confused looking woman shaking her head to show that THINGS ARE PRETTY BAD IN GOTHAM.

The guy who shouts out 'Things are worse than ever!' and the annoying guy who says very OTT 'He should turn himself in!'

Any of the extras playing onlookers in Superman 2 street fight versus the trio. They all ham it up pretty good.

In American Pie, when Jim's walking into school after his accidental webcast and every makes references to his dual-ejaculations, there's one extra who just jumps into the camera and starts dancing for no reason whatsoever, The director's said they were glad that happened, because without it it would have been a boring shot, granted... but it makes no sense.

Those extras fucking around during the opening battle in Gladiator have always pissed me off. Why did no-one notice them in the edit?

The drunk guys in Moore era Bond films who always check their bottle after witnessing a Bond stunt. Can't find any pics or clips but I think you know the scenes I'm getting at.

Batman Begins does that as well (parking lot attendant during car chase).

It was the same guy doing the double-take in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, which hee-lariously had a pigeon doing one too. You don't get that kind of quality in Bond movies these days.

(Did you know if they cut out all that embarrassing slapstick crap out of Moonraker you'd actually be left with quite a good Bond movie? Michel Lonsdale was a great villain and the scene where he sets his dogs on one of Bond's conquests is one of the classic moments of the entire series.)

It doesn't really count as he's not really an extra, but this one irritates me so much I have to mention it:

Just remembered one from Titanic. When the boats are being lowered and one of them is going down lopsided, and one of the female extras closest to the camera starts screaming. She's so annoying!

Examples:

Real Life

- Some of the spectacular visual effects from Inception were created in Real Life, rather than relying in CGI. Before filming started one day, a bum walked onto the blocked-off street being used as a set, and asked one of the producers if there was really a freight train in the middle of the street. When the producer answered in the affirmative, the bum decided that maybe he was drinking too much.
