Colombia Theatre Evacuated During Spider-Man: Brand New Day Screening After Moviegoer's 'Fart' Sparks Chaos, Netizens Say 'Real Villain Was Inside' - VIDEO
A screening of Spider-Man: Brand New Day in Cartagena, Colombia, was disrupted after a foul smell reportedly caused by an audience member's extreme flatulence forced moviegoers to evacuate the auditorium. While the screening was not officially canceled, many viewers left before it ended
A screening of Spider-Man: Brand New Day in Colombia took an unexpected turn after a foul smell inside the auditorium forced moviegoers to leave their seats, with reports claiming the odor was caused by a fellow audience member's uncontrollable flatulence.
The unusual incident reportedly took place on August 2 at the Cine Colombia multiplex inside Plaza Bocagrande shopping centre in Cartagena, according to media reports.
The screening was said to be progressing normally until midway through the film when one unidentified viewer allegedly released an overpowering odor that spread across the packed auditorium.
As the smell intensified, audience members reportedly rushed out of the theater in discomfort. Videos shared online showed hundreds of moviegoers gathered in the multiplex corridor, including a person dressed as Spider-Man, while staff dealt with the disruption.
Although the screening was not officially called off, many viewers reportedly chose not to return and left before the film ended because of the lingering stench.
The identity of the person responsible remains unknown. According to reports, some believe it may have been a prank involving a stink bomb, while others suspect the individual simply failed to make it to the restroom in time.
The bizarre incident has since gone viral on social media, with many viewers mocking the unidentified moviegoer over the disruption.
"With great power comes great responsibility… to hold it in. That wasn’t a fart, that was the Green Goblin’s final form," an X user wrote.
Another commented, "They went to watch a movie, but the smell made everyone—including Spider-Man—run for the exit! 😂💨🕷️ Looks like the real villain was already inside the theater."
"You guys can all agree with me, that fart definitely came from that huge Spider-Man guy, just look how he his pretending to be on call with someone," read another comment.
"Whatever they ate before the movie needs to be classified as a weapon," another user wrote.
