00:00We at the Hill Valley Preservation Society think it should be preserved exactly the way it is,
00:05as part of our history and heritage.
00:06There you go, lady. There's a corner.
00:09Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks to the best films
00:12with the worst case of interrupted kiss syndrome.
00:15Minor spoilers to come.
00:16Hey, Troy, does Gabriella still remember your name,
00:18or did she find somebody new to karaoke with this summer?
00:22Number 10, Shrek and Fiona, Shrek.
00:24As you would expect from an iconic fairy tale deconstruction,
00:27these two begin on the wrong foot early on.
00:30You didn't slay the dragon?
00:33It's on my to-do list, now come on!
00:35Fiona is supposed to receive true love's first kiss, instead of being shaken awake.
00:39Also, Shrek expected a pampered princess, and Fiona expected Prince Charming, literally.
00:44Oh, you're expecting Prince Charming?
00:47Well, yes, actually.
00:49When they realize they're more alike than they thought, that's when the sparks start to fly.
00:53There is even one moment where it seems the two might kiss,
00:56even though at the time, Fiona is still in her human form.
00:58Man, isn't this romantic?
01:00Just look at that sunset.
01:01Donkey interrupts, naturally,
01:03and the loss of the moment serves as a sharp reminder of Fiona's curse.
01:07Number 9, Vesper and Lone Star, Spaceballs.
01:10When will then be now?
01:12Soon.
01:14How soon?
01:15Speaking of deconstruction, Mel Brooks' Star Wars parody still holds up.
01:19Spaceballs follows the original film's romance between Princess Leia and Han Solo,
01:23counterparts Vesper and Lone Star.
01:25I could be perfectly happy the rest of my life without...
01:30Yeah.
01:31Also a bickering duo and reluctant to acknowledge their mutual attraction.
01:34Vesper and Lone Star share a romantic moment beneath the stars.
01:37Unfortunately, Dot's virgin alarm stops them from admitting their feelings ahead of schedule.
01:42That was my virgin alarm. It's programmed to go off before you do.
01:45It's a delightfully self-aware parody of this overused trope.
01:49In the end, though, Lone Star learns of his royal lineage in time to prevent Vesper's arranged wedding,
01:54and the two are married instead.
01:56Leia and Han could never.
01:57Do you?
01:58Yes.
01:59Do you?
02:00Yes.
02:00Good, you're married. Kiss her.
02:02Number 8, Anastasia and Dimitri.
02:04Anastasia.
02:05All of the 90s kids know exactly what we're talking about.
02:08Hey!
02:08What are you doing in here?
02:11This Don Bluth film also features a bickering will-they-won't-they couple,
02:14the long-lost princess Anastasia,
02:16and servant boy-turned-conman Dimitri.
02:19Of course, sparks fly as the two learn to trust each other.
02:22And as Anya gets dancing lessons from Dimitri,
02:25their attraction starts to become apparent.
02:27Anya, play.
02:28Yes?
02:29The moment is interrupted by a dog,
02:31which happens surprisingly often in animated films.
02:33And they are interrupted again post-battle, again, by Puka.
02:37Why?
02:39Because I...
02:43We are finally given a proper kiss from the two at their triumphant elopement.
02:48It's the perfect beginning.
02:50Number 7, Stanley and Tina.
02:52The Mask.
02:52You were good, kid. Real good.
02:55But as long as I'm around, you'll always be second best, see?
02:58Meek bank employee Stanley Ipkiss discovers a magical mask
03:02and develops strange powers to alter reality to his liking.
03:05This mask turns out to be the product of the trickster god Loki, of course.
03:09It's party time!
03:11P-A-R-T.
03:13Why?
03:13Because I gotta!
03:15Stanley's crush on Tina also manifests as he dances with her at the Coco Bongo.
03:20When Stanley saves Tina from the gangster Tyrell,
03:23he almost kisses her, as his regular maskless self.
03:27This guy's incorrigible.
03:29Just before he does, however, the police come to interrupt them.
03:31The true kiss is reserved for the end,
03:34when Tina tells Stanley that she liked him just the way he was,
03:37and he didn't need the mask after all.
03:39Well, that's nothing any American with balls of steel wouldn't do for his community.
03:45Cue happily ever after.
03:47Number 6, Jane and Rochester.
03:49Jane Eyre.
03:50Classic lit is lit.
03:51This film adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's classic romantic novel
03:54delivers the yearning and pining.
03:56Goodness, how young you are.
03:58I'm quite experienced, I can assure you.
04:01Of course you are.
04:02I'm sure we're very lucky to have you.
04:04When plain Jane Eyre is hired as a governess by the rough-around-the-edges Mr. Rochester,
04:09it isn't long before the two develop feelings for each other.
04:12One night, Jane wakes up to a mysterious fire in Rochester's room.
04:15Wake up, sir!
04:17Wake up!
04:18Sir, wake up!
04:19She wakes him up, and they put it out together.
04:21As in the novel, Rochester's gratitude is rooted in something deeper.
04:25I knew you would do me good in some way.
04:28I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you.
04:31Jane pulls away, and the moment is lost.
04:33Rochester finally confesses his love, and they almost get married.
04:36I offer you my hand.
04:38My heart.
04:40Jane.
04:41I ask you to pass through life at my side.
04:44Almost.
04:44Because their wedding is also interrupted, though for good reason.
04:47As always, their true kiss happens at the end.
04:50A dream.
04:55Awaken, then.
04:59Number 5.
05:00Aladdin and Jasmine.
05:01Aladdin.
05:02Disney films love interrupted kisses between couples.
05:04You're not free to make your own choices.
05:07Sometimes you feel so...
05:08You're just...
05:09Trapped.
05:10Another poor boy-rich girl pairing,
05:12Aladdin and Jasmine do kiss twice in their film,
05:15including once after the carpet ride scene.
05:17But they are also interrupted twice.
05:19Tell him that's very...
05:21Sweet.
05:24Here you are!
05:26They're after me!
05:27They're after you!
05:28The first near kiss happens during their first meeting in Aladdin's place,
05:31where the moment is interrupted by guards.
05:33And at the end, after Aladdin defeats Jafar by tricking him into becoming a genie,
05:38the Sultan decides to change the law to let Jasmine marry Aladdin.
05:41Oh, all of you!
05:42Come over here, big group hug.
05:44The couple's near kiss is interrupted by the genie.
05:47In typical Disney form, they probably kiss in the final shot.
05:50Number 4, Gabby and Ilya, the man from UNCLE.
05:53What are you doing down there?
05:55Trying not to get lost.
05:57This film adaptation of the classic spy series has a romance to remember.
06:01Gabby Teller is extracted by two secret agents,
06:04CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB agent Ilya Kuryakin.
06:08And why did he call me his woman?
06:11Because I am now your fiancé.
06:15Posing as an engaged couple, Gabby and Ilya share at least three charged moments.
06:19First, they almost kiss in the hotel,
06:21though at the last moment Gabby passes out from drinking too much vodka.
06:24I'll turn it on now.
06:27Uncle Rudy's car has arrived.
06:30Are you ready?
06:31In the second and third times,
06:33they are interrupted by Napoleon Solo and a hotel bellhop.
06:36With all these near misses, you'd think the kisses were bullets.
06:39I am not staying here!
06:40Where are you gonna go?
06:43Swimming!
06:44Number 3, Marty and Jennifer, Back to the Future.
06:46Marty McFly has a supportive girlfriend in Jennifer,
06:49although the rest of his life is not as pretty.
06:51Hold it, fellas.
06:53I'm afraid you're just too darn loud.
06:56Next place.
06:57But a Save the Clock Tower activist,
06:59Jennifer's dad,
07:00and a time-travelling adventure involving a DeLorean
07:03interrupt their intimate moments.
07:05After Marty successfully gets his parents together in 1955
07:08and keeps himself from fading away,
07:10he is reunited with Jennifer in the present once more.
07:12How about a ride, mister?
07:14Jennifer.
07:16Oh, you were a sight for sore eyes.
07:19Of course, what should happen but Doc arriving in the DeLoreans
07:22interrupt their near kiss.
07:23Forget Marty and Jennifer's future kids,
07:25just let these two kids kiss already.
07:27Marty!
07:30You've got to come back with me!
07:32Where?
07:34Back to the future!
07:35Number 2, Ariel and Eric, The Little Mermaid.
07:38Has he kissed her yet?
07:39Not yet.
07:40This must be the Disney couple with the most near kisses.
07:42Tasked with getting Eric to kiss her before sunset on the third day,
07:46or else it's back to the sea with her,
07:48Ariel gets all the help that she needs to make that happen.
07:51Kiss me, girl.
07:52Kiss me, girl.
07:54Kiss me, girl.
07:56Ursula plays Dirty, however,
07:58and her henchmen interrupt Ariel and Eric on their romantic boat ride.
08:02Ariel successfully crashes a disguise Ursula's wedding to Eric, however,
08:05and breaks the enchantment on him.
08:07It was you all the time.
08:08Oh, Eric, I wanted to tell you.
08:11Eric, no!
08:12Ariel and Eric nearly kiss,
08:14only for the sun to set
08:15and for Ariel to change back into a mermaid.
08:18Their real kiss comes at the end on their wedding day.
08:26Before we get to our top pick,
08:27here are a few honourable mentions.
08:29Chuck and Larry,
08:30I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry.
08:32These two have the opposite of a lavender marriage.
08:34Enough!
08:36I'd rather change my grandfather's diaper
08:39than see two straight guys kissing.
08:41Harry and Rachel,
08:42Dante's peak.
08:43It's always the random passerby that interrupts.
08:45Hey, you two!
08:47Evie and Rick,
08:48The Mummy.
08:49What is it with films and the female lead
08:50fainting just before the kiss?
08:53Oh, Rick.
08:55Mulder and Scully,
08:57The X-Files fight the future.
08:59These two are the OG
09:00when it comes to unresolved sexual tension.
09:02I...
09:04Jesus.
09:06No.
09:07Something stung me.
09:09Constantine and Angela.
09:11Constantine.
09:12They almost kiss three times
09:14and it's torture.
09:15John, I really want...

09:33Number one,
09:34Troy and Gabriela,
09:35High School Musical 2.
09:36It's one thing for a film
09:37to interrupt a couple's kiss
09:38once or twice
09:39or even three times.
09:40It's quite another
09:41to make a whole running gag out of it.
09:43The water bugs are back.
09:45Look, Mr. Fulton,
09:46this was my idea.
09:47She had nothing to do with it.
09:48In the sequel to the hit musical film,
09:50Troy and Gabriela
09:50are already a couple
09:52with no internal
09:53or external obstacles
09:54to any kissing activities.
09:56Hey, man.
09:56How's it going?
09:57Well, there is one impediment.
09:58The forces of Disney,
10:00who constantly interrupt
10:01their intimate moments.
10:02Only at the end
10:02do the couple finally smooch.
10:04You would think that Disney
10:05would give their live-action characters
10:06the satisfaction denied
10:08to their animated counterparts.
10:10Excuse me,
10:11you're all being paid to work,
10:13not play Dr. Phil.
10:15Chop, chop.
10:15But that's clearly not the case.
10:17Which of these interrupted kisses
10:19drove you the craziest?
10:20Let us know
10:21in the comments down below.
10:22Now,
10:23we got to make a plan
10:24to get that boy
10:25to kiss you.
10:26Tomorrow,
10:27when he takes you
10:28for that ride,
10:29you gotta look your best.
10:31...
10:35...
10:35...
10:36...
