I'd forgotten about the Tarzan yell! I actually liked it, it made me laugh. In a good way. Cringe-worthy moment? Hmm. Can it just be Hayden Christensen's completely unconvincing "performance?" There was no compelling reason for him to join forces with Sidious (so many Darths, forgive me if I'm mistaken, I mean the Palpatine one), I did not buy for one moment that he was experiencing any sort of conflict over his embrace of the dark side. Every time he and Padme had any sort of "moment" I cringed. Co-dependent much? Bleah.
HC didn't ruin the movie for me, though. Several years ago, I paid 70 bucks to see Teri Hatcher in Cabaret. I wanted to see Cabaret, Teri Hatcher just happened to be in it at the time. Bleah! As lousy as I thought she was, she didn't ruin the show. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Same with Haydey-Hay.
Oh, I just thought of it! The cringe! There's this stock audio cue of a male scream that came early in the film. I've heard this scream in so many movies, most notably, in A Star is Born (1954) with Judy Garland and James Mason. It shows up twice in that movie! I'm guessing it's in the Fox library, and I'm guessing it's a sound guy in-joke. Sort of like the stock Goofy yell Disney puts in everything.
