Whitcomb Becker doctor how was space
space was cool wasn’t it mini-me welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
coolest secret lairs in movies for this
list we’ll be examining films throughout
history and pinpointing the ones with
prominent yet well hidden bases of
operation our emphasis is on the phrase
well-hidden and while we love Batman we
have chosen to omit anything that is
from comic books
number 10 the vampire hideout The Lost
Boys something tells us that health and
safety should give this layer a
once-over
this was the hottest resort in Santa
Carla about 85 years ago based in sunny
Santa Carla California this cave based
hideout sits in Hudson’s Bluff amid the
sunken remains of a hotel know our hugs
blockers overlooking the point by day
it’s a tourist curiosity closed off to
the public but by night it’s home to the
ticular Lost Boys a local group of young
looking vampires is ranked on day one of
us its seaside location coupled with its
nocturnal inhabitants makes it quite
fascinating though we have to wonder if
earthquakes are ever an issue when the
big one hits San Francisco Browns opened
up this place took a header right into
the crack number nine Arctic layer GI
Joe The Rise of Cobra thousands of miles
across and ten stories thick evil
organizations need a tough to reach
secret base
that’s nearly a given
if built a military nice under the polar
ice cap so it makes sense that the
terrorist group Cobra would establish
their headquarters in an underwater base
deep beneath the Arctic Circle that’s
putting remote might be good location
for a base snow that leaves us with wet
it did up here on top of having two
well-guarded entrances the base itself
is armed to the teeth with
top-of-the-line harpoon guns and pulse
cannons to ward off those pesky Joe’s
and worst case scenario Cobra can simply
detonate the explosives scattered across
the base just to make it absolutely
clear how dedicated they are to security
detonate the ice pack right away sir
number eight number 12 Grimmauld place
Harry Potter franchise it may not look
like much but give it a chance this one
might surprise you
so what is this place headquarters the
order of the Phoenix it’s a secret
society as the establish headquarters
for the order of the Phoenix an
organization dedicated to fighting Lord
Voldemort number 12 Grimmauld place
seems rather quaint the house rests in a
non magic neighborhood blending in
effortlessly before the application of
magic a portrait at remote place
however the residence is armed with many
defensive spells anyway and it’s dingy
halls and rooms disguise how useful it
is as a meeting place
LAN in Makena n– she was killed two
weeks something’s was taken number seven
Mount Rushmore Team America World Police
welcome to Team face sometimes hiding in
plain sight is the best approach that
appears to have been the logic in Team
America were a police with particular
teams based located inside of Mount
Rushmore God what the hell heaven what’s
surprising is how much has been crammed
into the monument a supercomputer called
intelligence helicopters jets and the
personnel required to operate it all
great job team head back to base for
debriefing and cocktail given that the
team represents America setting up shop
inside an iconic monument makes a
surprising amount of sense
[Music]
number six
Polonia screws laughs Despicable Me
charm and quirkiness go a long way in
making a secret lab unique such as the
case with aspiring villain Polonius
grooves underground laboratory hidden
beneath his home and accessible solely
by elevator
besides being vast in size and
impressive in its metallic construction
the lab is also home to hundreds of
minions simple-minded yet lovable yellow
beings who aid in grooves experiments
speaking of which the experimental
device is stored in grooves lab add to
the facility’s appeal even if they lack
practical applications number five pawns
Island enter the dragon this is where
you’ll be going an island fortress
really martial artists be warned some
islands are more menacing than they
appear I think you’ll find our little
island quite charming take this tropical
isle owned by the mysterious mr. Han
it’s established as location of both
Hans martial arts school and an annual
tournament
I look forward to a tournament oh truly
epic proportions
behind the scenes though the island acts
as a base of operations for Hans drug
trafficking with the tournament allowing
Han to identify potential recruits we
believe he selects attractive girls and
methodically builds their dependence on
drugs then sells them to an elite
clientele around the world say what you
will about his motives
Hans tastes in far-off islands is
impeccable mr. Han
suddenly I like to leave your Island it
is not possible number four wing Kong
exchange Big Trouble in Little China
opens the wing Kong exchange the wing
Kong exchange the most dangerous
cutthroat den of madmen in Chinatown you
can’t just waltz in and out of there
like the wind seems like innocuous
looking hideouts are a theme here as the
headquarters of the wing Kong criminal
organization this location appears at
first glance to be an ordinary shipping
company you ready jack
I was born ready however venture further
and you’ll find some Buddhist themed
decorations dimly lit cellars oh and the
flooding elevator to trap the most
curious among us and diverted through
all these parts to different shooters
the further down this rabbit hole of a
base you go the more mystical and
ancient its architecture appears giving
the impression that the wing Kong are
more than meets the eye
everybody got that ready follow leader
one two three she may be trapped number
three Thuggee temple Indiana Jones and
the Temple of Doom nobody seen this for
a hundred years a lots of hidden bases
struggle to be either threatening or
massive this accomplishes both
midway through the adventure film
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom our
intrepid archaeologist hero Indiana
Jones stumbles into a fiery temple
inhabited by the malevolent members of
the Thuggee cult the temple plays host
to brutal rituals that require people’s
hearts to be ripped out to say nothing
of the nearby mines that employs child
laborers
[Music]

submarine and a moon base in his time
it’s the secret lair in the second
installment that proves the most iconic

island it’s most distinctive landmark
being a sizeable volcano which dr. evil
has his face carved into
contained within the volcano itself is a
large complex with enough space for a
meeting room lengthy halls fit for
driving and some creative if
questionable death traps
great plan Einstein we’re gonna put them

honorable mentions the world’s greatest
television Airy the designer and
architect of the world within a world
