10 Best Moments In Kong: Skull Island

8. Shea Whigham's "Sacrificial" Death

The no-nonsense Captain Cole (Shea Whigham) decides to sacrifice himself in order to destroy the alpha Skullcrawler, allowing the other survivors to escape to the rendezvous point.

Cole pulls out two cooked grenades and holds the pins in as he waits for the Skullcrawler to approach him and take a bite of him, but hilariously, the Skullcrawler just swipes Cole with its tale, sending him flying hundreds of feet into the distance, where he smashes into a rock face and his grenades detonate.

It's such a hilarious subversion of the typical sacrificial death, and is one Hell of an entertaining overkill.
