10 Awesome Movie Showdowns We Never Got To See

2. The Kraken's Death - Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End

Pirates Of The Caribbean 3 I suppose this point means me taking liberties with the franchise and debating its 'rules,' but hey, I'm game for it. What I'm positing is this €“ though the Kraken is for all intents and purposes Davy Jones' 'pet,' so you could argue that when Beckett demands the octopus-faced ultra-pirate kill his game-changer, it wouldn't fight back. Well, it's at this point that I call shenanigans. The Kraken appears to be a monster, and a damn-near invulnerable one at that. Quickly euthanizing such a thing would take a hell of an effort €“it's not like Old Yeller when you can just take it out back. Frankly, I don't think they make sheds and rifles big enough. So whatever you chose to take this beast down, I've no doubt it'd put up a hell of a struggle, like only cannon-invulnerable sea-beasts can. Yet sadly we didn't get to see it €“ all we saw was a corpse, as depressing as a flopped plastic bag on a beachfront. Honestly, I felt slightly robbed. Watching Davy Jones' undead crew attempt to murder their nautical tank sounds metal as all hell, and we weren't allowed to view such a delight.
