10 Awesome Movie Scenes Trapped In Awful Movies

1. Doom Popping Heads (Fantastic Four - 2015)

Doctor Doom Fantastic Four 2015
20th Century Fox

The production of Josh Trank's Fantastic Four was a full-blown disaster, with the director and the studio butting heads in such a major way that there's literally a split in the film ("One Year Later") where you can see two different visions colliding.

By all accounts, Trank didn't get to make the movie he wanted to make, and while the final product is almost unwatchable, there are a few glimmers of potential dotted throughout, small hints at the darker and probably better Fantastic Four movie the exciting young filmmaker envisioned from the start.

Chief among these is a really short scene - the shortest on this list - that still manages to leave a chilling lasting impression. Presumed dead, Victor Von Doom returns from Planet Zero and sets out on a murderous rampage through the facility. Shot from behind the character as he calmly strolls down a corridor, Doom starts exploding people's heads without even lifting a finger, using his newfound telekinetic powers to brutally slaughter everyone in his path.

With blood splattering against the walls and Doom's victims screaming with horror, this scene - in a PG-13 superhero movie - is more frightening than a lot of modern horror releases, and its daring execution is just another reason to lament the loss of the great Fantastic Four movie we could have got.
