20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2022 (So Far)
18. The Naked Volcano Fight - The Northman
Robert Eggers' The Northman is perhaps the most metal movie ever made, and so it's fitting that when the villainous Fjölnir (Claes Bang) tells Amleth (Alexander Skarsgård) to meet him at the Gates of Hel for their final battle, the two quite literally fight naked in the crater of a damn volcano.
Could there have been a more comically testosterone-fuelled way for such a hyper-masculine movie to conclude? It's one hell of a fight, gorgeously shot by Eggers of course, that concludes with Fjölnir's decapitation and Amleth succumbing to his mortal wounds.
Though The Northman unsurprisingly bombed at the box office, it's damn-near destined to endure as a future cult classic, and this mesmeric final fight is surely the icing on a very brutal, equally beautiful cake.
