welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
times movie villains
went beast mode
it's when you start to become really
afraid of death
that you learn to appreciate life
for this list we'll be looking at times
when movie villains either powered up
leveled up their evil or literally
transformed into something more powerful
we won't be discussing animated movies
or anime because they deserve lists of
their own
we will be discussing pivotal scenes in
movies so
a spoiler alert is definitely an effect
what movie villain do you think
is the most beastly and what do you
think constitutes
beast mode let us know in the comments
now we roll to the top 10.
number 10 bane breaks the bat the dark
knight rises
bane's fight with batman beneath his
armory is a study in one of the more
subtle forms of beast mode he simply
indicates
through word and deed that he is a
badass
let's not stand on ceremony here
mr wayne throughout their fight bane is
unfazed monologuing and sloughing off
batman's tricks
theatricality and deception powerful
agents to the uninitiated
but we are initiated how do we bruce
when bane notes that batman is giving
the fight everything he's got
we know that he knows that batman is
tiring
ah you fight like a younger man there's
nothing held back
not mobile but mistaken
the bat's final trick is turning off the
lights but bane's calm reply
shows that the move is hopeless bane
wonders aloud if batman's spirit
or body will break first and he provides
the answer by dropping his foe across
his knee
breaking the back of the bat oh yes
i was wondering what would break first
number nine the beast is aptly named
glass here's a more literal example of
beast mode
throughout the movie glass james mcavoy
portrays the horde
through other more timid or demure
personalities
as i understand it you're kind of the
high priestess
this course isn't about me
it's about the beast is it when we get
to the parking lot fight at the end of
the film however
the beast steps into the light ready to
battle bruce willis's
david dunn living up to his name the
beast lets out a primal howl
and bounds towards dunn on all fours
an immovable object meets an unstoppable
force until they're separated by police
this just ramps up the beast's intensity
as he bites down
into an officer
number eight sauron dominates the siege
of baradur
the lord of the rings the fellowship of
the ring the dark lord sauron has shown
off his power in a number of ways
including when he tricked the elves into
forging the rings of power
so that he could control them but his
greatest beast mode moment came when the
races of men
and elves brought war to mordor in an
attempt to end his tyranny
in this battle sauron dons the one ring
and is an
absolute wrecking machine
[Music]
knocking hapless enemies through the air
with mighty swings of his weapon
sauron devastates his foes he is on the
verge of victory when islidor takes up
his father ellen dill's broken sword and
swings it desperately
severing sauron's finger and releasing
the ring
number seven superman but evil
breitburn we're not in smallville
anymore
brandon breyer's origin story is much
like that of superman
as an alien infant his ship crashes into
the kansas countryside
and he's rescued and raised by a
childless couple
we first start to see the darkness and
power in young brandon when he
spitefully breaks a classmate's hand
after she lets him fall during a trust
exercise
what are you doing
once his power is known to his parents
the beast mode moments start to pile
up he begins a killing spree that sees
him using his terrifying superpowers
against those around him
including the people closest to him this
is superman
but gone very wrong
number six along came a pennywise
it chapter two when it comes to a killer
clown who terrorizes children
and lures them into the sewers is there
even room for beast mode
turns out there definitely is
in the first showdown between pennywise
and the losers club
he takes on some truly monstrous forms
but while the kids win that battle they
have to fight it again
decades later 27 years
i dream of you
i craved you oh i
missed you in this fight pennywise truly
goes beast mode
transforming into an enormous spider
hellbent on destroying its targets
for viewers with arachnophobia this
scene is
truly beastly [ __ ]
number five darth vader's rampage
rogue one a star wars story one of the
most
memorable and powerful villains to ever
hit the screen
vader is perfectly capable of entering
beast mode from time to time
henceforth you shall be known
as darth
[Music]
vader
thank you my master
an early glimpse of his beastly
potential comes when a young adult
anakin skywalker kills an entire village
of tuscan raiders
including the children
another is seen immediately after he
joins the sith
when he kills all the younglings master
skywalker
there are too many of them what are we
going to do
[Music]
thankfully the last part occurs off
screen
but a great example of true beast mode
comes in vader's brief appearance
in star wars rogue one when we see
vader's red lightsaber switch on in the
darkness
we all know what's coming
and we get it as do the poor rebels who
face him
number four say hello to tony montana's
little friend
scarface now this is a recipe for beast
mode
tony montana defending his drug empire
with a machine gun that's also a grenade
launcher
hopped up on his own goods tony launches
a grenade that blows down his office
doors
as well as the rival drug cartel members
on the other side
do you want to play with us
[Music]
more men arrive and tony gets shot
multiple times
but he fights on the fire fight that
follows
is insane with tony eventually falling
to the ground
after getting shot yet again
undaunted he stands and shouts threats
at whoever
might still be alive
it takes a shotgun blast to the back to
finally bring him down
number three voldemort makes it rain
glass
harry potter and the order of the
phoenix what can be said about
he who must not be named certainly not
his name
but we're going to break that rule
because lord voldemort has had some
incredible beast mode moments
probably the greatest of these came when
voldemort battled dumbledore
in the atrium of the department of
mysteries in harry potter and the order
of the phoenix
in this fight voldemort exerts his
considerable powers
in many ways including conjuring a giant
fire snake
[Music]
the battle ends in a stalemate with
voldemort escaping
but before he does he uses his magic to
shatter every window in the vast atrium
causing an avalanche of falling glass
that would have been fatal to
any mere muggles had any been in
attendance
number two hella beats thor and loki
thor ragnarok when hella steps in front
of thor and loki for the first time
she looks like a badass
so he's gone when moments later she
demands that
odin's son neil we know she probably
is one neil begun
kneel
[Music]
before your queen thor reacts by
throwing mjolnir at his new foe
putting up her hand hella stops the
hammer in mid-flight
and crushes it it's not possible
darling you have no idea what's possible
[Music]
she's surely not worthy enough to wield
it but is powerful enough to destroy it
she transforms into a dual-wielding
horned
nightmare ready to fight loki calls on
the bifrost to help them escape but she
follows
dispatching them both
hella makes beast mode look easy before
we unveil our top pick
here are a few other beast mode moments
that deserve
some definite honorable mention becoming
mr hyde
dr jekyll and mr hyde talk about
breaking bad
can this be evil
[Laughter]
man becomes beast an american werewolf
in london
perhaps the purest form of beast mode
[Music]
verbal kent becomes kaiser soze the
usual suspects

was convincing the world
he didn't exist first thing i learned on
the job you know what it was
how to spot a murderer he told me you
got the [ __ ] in there from new york

blonsky becomes the abomination
the incredible hulk the only way to

fix this

the matrix reloaded in his first
showdown with neo in the matrix reloaded
agent smith explains to his foe that
he's been disconnected from the matrix

you i'm no longer an agent of this

tried to take from us
[Music]

the fists and kicks start flying from
all angles
the fight appears to be going neo's way
but the agent simply summons more agent
smiths onto the scene
neo eventually flies away to avoid the
continued onslaught
it's a temporary victory for a beastly
villain
