The scene that has run through my head for months (or maybe years) now is near the end of the movie, when the firemen arrive to rescue the cast from their collapsing fire escape.

The poor fireman who appears to rescue them explains what they need to do, and cautions them not to all try to get on the ladder at once; but once they fully realize the danger they're in, everyone panics, and jumps for "safety" on the ladder.

The mechanism goes crazy under the load, throwing cast members every which way. (It's a comedy, so no one is killed...)
