15 Funniest Movie Moments Of 2016
9. Doctor Strange - The Magic Cloak
Marvel does humor very well (something their distinguished competition could learn from), and while Doctor Strange isn't the funniest of the MCU films, its handling of the Cloak of Levitation is surprisingly amusing.
Taking a cue from Aladdin's magic carpet, the movie gives the cloak a mind of its own. It saves Strange on a couple occasions and even helps him out with the fighting. The stand-out moment comes when an injured Strange is confronted by an evil zealot (Scott Adkins). Just when the baddie is about to finish off the sorcerer, the cloak wraps itself around the zealot's head and proceeds to give him a thorough beat-down.
It's another unexpected moment and a real crowd-pleaser. Watching the cloak brutally and mercilessly bounce the man's head off the walls and floor is almost reminiscent of Hulk's smashing of Loki in the first Avengers movie. I doubt you'll find too many movies in which a piece of clothing hilariously beats the snot out of a martial arts badass.
