10 Deaths That Movies Totally Forgot About

Transformers: Age of Extinction features one of the most insanely brutal death scenes in any PG-13 blockbuster, and yet director Michael Bay is unhinged enough to think that audiences would just quickly forget about it and re-engage with all the fist-pumping rock 'em, sock 'em robot mayhem.

In the movie's first act we're introduced to Lucas Flannery (T.J. Miller), the goofball employee of protagonist Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) who the audience understandably assumes will make it to the end of the movie in one piece as customary comic relief.

Uh, about that.

Lucas ends up dying surprisingly early on, but worse than that, he dies not well, to put it bluntly. 

Cybertronian bounty hunter Lockdown lobs a grenade which doesn't just obliterate Lucas, it rips the skin from his body leaving behind only a charred skeleton, which Bay dementedly lingers upon for several seconds before cutting away.

It's pure nightmare fuel for anyone watching, kid or adult, and yet, the central characters mourn Lucas for about five seconds before the splashy rollercoaster ride continue.

Bay and Miller reportedly didn't get along during shooting, and it's been suggested by many that Bay likely gave his character a grotesquely drawn-out, mean-spirited demise as a result.
