Luke Cage Season 1: 13 Best Moments
9. Cottonmouth's Rocket Launcher Assault (Episode 3: Who's Gonna Take The Weight?)
Luke rips off Cottonmouth's financial fortress known as Fort Knox, and uses part of the proceeds to pay rent to his landlady in her Chinese restaurant.
Cottonmouth doesn't take this lying down, however, and shows up to the restaurant with a comically oversized rocket launcher, which he fires at the pair, reducing the restaurant to rubble.
Luke and his landlady then spend pretty much the entire next episode trapped under the rubble before managing to escape.
This amusingly over-the-top moment is a reminder that, no matter how gritty and socially relevant the show is for the most part, it's still got its roots in the larger-than-life comic book realm. Terrific.
