9 Incredibly Important Movie Characters Who Were Killed Off Screen

9. The Kraken - Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End

The most impressive and imposing of all the creatures in the never-ending Pirates franchise, Davy Jones' beastly "pet" monster provides the most exciting moments in the second instalment of the series, Dead Man's Chest.

Say what you want about the rest of the film, but the Kraken was epic, and since the time we see the creature it's dragging Captain Jack Sparrow down to the depths of the ocean and into Davy Jones' Locker, one would safely assume that Jack would get a chance at revenge in the next movie.

He doesn't. Instead, we're treated to an ultra brief scene where Sparrow and Barbossa encounter the dead carcass of the Kraken on the beach. Jones himself had to put down the monster under the orders of Lord Cutler Beckett, which we never get to see.

Granted, the discovery of the deceased beast leads to a nice heart-to-heart between Captains Sparrow and Barbossa about mortality, but that scene would have played just as well had we gotten to witness its demise!
