20 Movie Scenes That Should've Been Cut

The criminally underrated Denzel Washington-starring thriller Fallen climaxes with one hell of a cheeky plot twist. 

Throughout the film, Detective John Hobbes (Washington) faces off against a fallen angel known as Azazel, who is able to possess human beings through mere touch, allowing him to hop from host to host and evade capture.

Hobbes' ultimate plan involves fatally poisoning himself and then getting Azazel to possess himself in a remote area, where he'll be unable to leap to another body and be trapped within Hobbes' corpse.

It almost works, except at the very end of the movie a cat wanders upon Hobbes' body, allowing Azazel to leap into the feline and continue his rampage unimpeded. The End.

It's a fun twist which would've hit even harder if the film didn't tip us off about Azazel's ability to also possess animals earlier on. 

Roughly half-way through the film, we briefly see Azazel possessing a cat, making the lack of nearby humans in the climax considerably less tense, given the fair likelihood that he could find another living thing to possess out in the wilderness - a fox, a deer, and so on.

Cut the totally unnecessary earlier scene with the cat and the ending is even better.
