10 Movies That Wasted Their Best Weapon

2. The BFG - Doom

2005's Doom adaptation is not a good movie, but fans were at least confident the film would feature the series' iconic super-weapon, the BFG - that's "Big F**king Gun" - in prominent fashion.

In the Doom games, the BFG 9000 is the most powerful weapon players can wield, an unfathomably destructive plasma-based behemoth which will melt practically anything in the vicinity.

In the movie, the "Bio Force Gun," as it's called, is fired only once in a single underwhelming scene.

Rather than have protagonist Reaper (Karl Urban) use the BFG on the final boss monster, Sarge (Dwayne Johnson) just shoots it at an Imp which attacks a member of his squad.

Much to fans' dismay, the resulting damage is oddly muted, the BFG firing a blue plasma blast which melts a portion of the surrounding area.

It doesn't quite feel like a satisfying payoff considering the comically ridiculous size of the gun and the fact that only The Rock is a jacked enough dude to carry it.
