Daredevil: 10 Most Shocking Moments From Season 1

7. Kingpin Bashes Away His Troubles

Daredevil is without a doubt the most violent Marvel on-screen adaptation ever (though Punisher: War Zone may come close), and even though viewers had seen a lot of violence prior to this scene it was the first time Fisk got to demonstrate just how dangerous he is. Frustrated with the combative and abrasive attitude of his Chechen associates and their failure to deal with Daredevil's disruptive attacks on their human trafficking operation, Fisk lets out some pent up aggression the only way he can - by pulverising someone remorselessly. As Wesley sits clearly unnerved at Wilson's unrelenting assault on the Russian, each sound is made increasingly more graphic as the camera pans around the car multiple times. The culmination of Fisk's efforts are utterly gruesome, as he uses a car door to pulverise his victim's head into a gooey mess. The makeup effects and sound design team should really be applauded for their efforts here, as it had the desired effect of making Kingpin a terrifying on screen presence. You definitely don't want to get on this man's bad side.
