let's go jet
hey everyone i'm rebecca and welcome to
watch mojo today we're counting down our
picks for the top 10 times the rock went
beast mode
[Music]
terminated for this list we're looking
at times that characters played by
dwayne johnson pushed past their limits
and gave audiences excellent action
scenes in the process
since we will be talking about the plots
of some of these movies
a spoiler alert is now an effect so
what's your favorite movie featuring the
rock
let us know in the comments all right
let's get to it
number 10 escaping police with a foot
injury
pain and gain i've been here before
and i'm not proud of this after getting
out of prison johnson's doyle falls back
into a life of crime
his life really goes sideways when he
tries to steal cash solo
after grabbing a couple of bags of money
from an armored truck
doyle accidentally sets off an explosive
dye pack
and is chased by officers this plan was
just practice
but i had another plan when he dives
into the water to escape a stray bullet
hits his foot
although doyle loses his big toe he
still manages to swim away from the
officers and reunite with his friends
most people probably wouldn't even run
down the block right after just stubbing
their toe
watching doyle suffer a severe injury
and still keep going
was the highlight of his attempted
robbery slow down paul
you do something bad maybe a little
number nine
taking on multiple resistance fighters
the rundown
in 2003's the rundown johnson plays a
bounty hunter named beck
that tracks a target to brazil during
the job the bounty hunter finds himself
pitted against a group of local
resistance fighters
i do not want to
i do not want to fight we are not
fighting back takes
absurd amounts of punishment from his
foes but after enduring a lot of hits
he decides to strike back despite being
unarmed and hilariously outnumbered
beck dodges weapons tosses his enemies
like ragdolls
and strikes back with seriously hard
hits
[Music]
i am not your enemy the lengthy action
scene was a great display of beck's
fighting skills
as well as his insane tolerance for pain
if you want to take
this bounty hunter down you'd better
bring an entire army
float like butterfly sting like me
number eight avoiding cia agents central
intelligence
bob stone is a cia agent that can easily
defeat
multiple opponents
[Music]
calvin joyner is just an accountant
shortly after the two get together
we get a fantastic action scene after
the cia comes to a rest stone in
joyner's high-rise office
they have to fight their way out stone
turns regular office materials like
printer toner
a male cart and even a banana into
dangerous weapons
[Music]
and joyner mostly tries not to get hurt
seeing stone take out trained agents
with ordinary items is as impressive as
it is hilarious
and he ends the scene with flair by
using a pre-prepared distraction to
crash through a window
and land safely onto an inflatable
gorilla
this crazy escape might be johnson's
funniest action scene
oh that was amazing i've never seen
anything like that number seven escaping
from royal guards
the scorpion king
[Music]
while not as beloved as the brendan
fraser mummy movies
the scorpion king is still worth
watching for the fun and ridiculous
action
one of the best scenes occurs when
matthias needs to escape from royal
guards
a standard chase scene immediately
launches into the ludicrous
after he loads himself into a catapult
matthias proceeds to use a giant gong as
a shield
jump from crazy heights and essentially
flush himself down a drain to reach
freedom
take a breath
johnson's committed performance makes us
believe that this campy sequence might
actually be possible
and the scene also serves as further
proof that the rock's characters can
escape
any scenario you are alive
i knew it right number six powering
through prison
the fate of the furious oh i got plenty
to go
you must have misplaced that when i
kicked your ass up and down that office
of yours yeah
dss agent hobbs finds himself imprisoned
with his mortal enemy
deckard shaw hobbs immediately jumps
into action to stop shaw from escaping
the agent takes out angry prisoners with
ease and
when guards fire rubber bullets at him
hobbs treats them like minor annoyances
and keeps on pushing
rubber bullets big mistake he tosses
enemies like it's nothing and forces his
way through riot shields like he's a
terminator pursuing its target until he
catches up to shaw
but we really shouldn't be too surprised
did we really think a mere prison could
hold someone as powerful as hobbs
that took longer than i expected number
5 bravestone's bizarre fight
jumanji welcome to the jungle when a
teenager named spencer is transported
into the jumanji video game
he finds himself inside the body of the
absolutely jacked dr bravestone
so it's me spencer but yet i look and
sound
like dr smolder bravestone while walking
through a bazaar
he's attacked by henchmen spencer
quickly discovers that his new body
comes with fantastic fighting skills
i have to warn you i think i'm a very
strong puncher
he uppercuts enemies into the sky and
easily evades their hits with fast
reflexes
at the same time spencer can't help but
call out his moves
[Music]
punch
there's something ridiculously
entertaining about watching the rock's
adult body demolish
enemies while he has the mind of a
teenager the scene almost makes us want
to play the jumanji game for real
but given how ridiculously dangerous it
is we'll go play mario kart
while the rock handles things number
four defeating firefly to save the world
gi joe retaliation cobra command is
bugging out
no sign of firefly i got it
the evil organization cobra plans to
take over the world using satellites
armed with weapons of mass destruction
johnson's roadblock can stop them if he
gets the control case from the villain
firefly
roadblock kicks off his intense pursuit
of the villain by lifting up a machine
gun turret like it was nothing
and firing it he then jumps in a boat
and mows down
anything standing in between him and
firefly you want that case
you wouldn't have to come through me
after returning to land
roadblock decimates the villain in a
fight and
stops the satellites this crazy action
sequence
allows johnson to show a range of badass
skills in a variety of settings within a
short time span
firefly never stood a chance
that's where it terminated number three
holding a helicopter chain
hobbs and shaw now we're never i'm more
of a nav type of guy on my three
sure one
[Music]
it was honestly hard to single out the
most ridiculous action moment from the
wildly entertaining hobson shaw
characters pull off
near impossible feats of athleticism and
stunt driving in every other scene
but the most unbelievable moment occurs
during a climactic chase
hobbs needs to prevent the villainous
brixton's helicopter from getting away
so he attaches the flying vehicle to a
series of cars with a chain
but when the chain comes loose hobbs
single-handedly holds the chain in place
until it's reattached
[Applause]
this absurd feat of strength is
hilariously similar to the time captain
america held a helicopter in place in
civil war
maybe hobbs should consider joining the
avengers hey thanks for being my
sidekick through this whole thing
brother
you were great number two breaking
chains and fighting wolves
hercules actually is this all the men
you have
there's 40 of us one of you
the king of this land has offered me
gold to dispose of you
having the rock play hercules might have
been the easiest casting decision of all
time
the actor's massive frame and muscles
made it easy to believe that he was the
son of zeus
his best scene came after he was placed
in chains attached to a stone floor
after getting encouragement from his
allies hercules decides to show his
captors exactly who he is
[Applause]
he breaks free by pulling his chains
hard enough to yank them out of the
stone floor
his enemies try to take the hero down
with three wolves
but hercules dispatches them too his
victory truly proves that he has
godly strength
this is one of those lists that's going
to be out of date as soon as the rock
releases another movie because
everything he does is beast mode but
there can be only one so let's look
through some honorable mentions
and then we'll see our top dwayne
johnson beast mode moment
defeating an ax-wielding villain walking
[Applause]
tall
showing off on the big boys course
baywatch
[Music]

number one becoming the cavalry furious
7.
i'm also the last man on earth whose
computer you want to be hacking into
you just earned yourself a dance with
the devil boy
near the beginning of furious 7 hobbs is
blown out of a window and falls multiple
stories onto a car
the fall sends him to a hospital with a
broken arm and leg
but when dom needs help hobbs decides to
check out early
dad what's going on
daddy's gotta go to work after flexing a
bicep so hard he breaks through the cast
around his arm
he steals an ambulance and rams it into
a drone chasing his allies
since that wasn't badass enough for him
he climbs out of the wreckage unharmed
picks up a minigun and starts firing it
at his enemies
this scene gives us an insanely strong
and virtually indestructible rock that's
pure beast mode
hey did you bring the cavalry woman
i am the calvary while all of these
moments are undoubtedly badass
this list made me realize how far the
rock has come in his
acting career like all due respect to
the scorpion king but
you get it anyway be sure to let us know
in the comments what your most
badass wayne johnson moment is or come
