wait they meant to do that I’m gonna
kill you
what would I do without you welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten get
captured on purpose plans in movies for
this list we’re looking at the most
conniving and devious of plans which see
big screen characters intentionally
getting themselves captured in order to
destroy their enemies from within we
will be giving away some pretty big
twists for these movies so consider this
your spoiler alert number 10 John Kramer
the jigsaw killer saw to the jigsaw
killer is certainly among the most
twisted characters in the history of
cinema his meticulous plans are
thought-out to perfection and are
carried out with gut-wrenching violence
this particular plan from the Saw sequel
is no exception as he torments crooked
detective Eric Matthews
who do you want
a little of your time detective I don’t
have little time you asked me what I
wanted I told you when jigsaw gets
himself caught by Matthews they play a
game of sorts Matthews son has been
captured and jigsaw holds his life in
the balance
constantly keeping us on our toes this
puzzling killer further blurs the line
between brilliance and insanity
number nine Algrim Thor the dark world
I’ve taped Jane to the dark world and
draw the enemy away from Asgard
attacking Thor’s home of Asgard is not a
smart move unless you’ve got yourself a
man on the inside
disguised as a Marauder the dark elf
Malekith right-hand man Algrim allows
himself to be imprisoned within as
guards dungeons and proceeds to go into
full rampage mode
after releasing the other prisoners the
ensuing chaos wreaks havoc within the
halls of the Asgardian fortress allowing
the attacking elves to enter the palace
it’s a crippling blow to both Asgard and
to the god of thunder so I value our
people’s lives
number eight John Harrison Khan star
trek into darkness I surrender
even though everyone in the audience
knew Benedict Cumberbatch’s John
Harrison would turn out to be Khan there
is no question that the characters
ferocity was matched only by his cunning
if you want to know why I did what I did
don’t take it out give me one reason why
I should listen I can give you 72 and
they’re on board your ship captain
always the tactician Khan allows himself
to be captured in order to save his
beloved crew all the while demonstrating
to the Enterprise crew that he knows
something they do not a smokescreen to
conceal my true identity
my name is calm and then when the
moments right he seizes control of the
USS vengeance warship to complete his
plan no escape should go down without a
captain number seven Clyde Alexander
Shelton law-abiding citizen lessons not
learned in blood or soon forgotten how
far would you go for vengeance against
those who took everything from you
after the justice system fails him this
ex-cia assassin played by Gerard Butler
pulls off not one but two brilliant
purposefully captured plans to catch the
first man on his list he pretends to be
a hapless cop and allows himself to be
taken to a secondary location where he
quickly turns the tables on his victim
see I know to be helpless ensuring he’s
arrested for that crime he then murders
his cellmate
so he’ll be placed in solitary
confinement from where he wages war on
the begrudged lawyers he’s in jail it’s
because he wants to be in jail he’s a
born tactician every move that he makes
it means something
we won’t go so far as to spoil how he
does it but rest assured it is biblical
no I’m at war with this this this broken
thing this thing that brought you and I
together
number six Luke Skywalker Princess Leia
Lando Calrissian Chewbacca c-3po and
r2d2 Star Wars Episode six Return of the
Jedi
you should have bargained while getting
caught may not have been Luke’s plan a
the fact that he showed up at Jabba’s
palace without his lightsaber should
have been a huge tip-off
after Leia’s infiltration and Luke
subsequent negotiations failed crime
lord Jabba the Hutt thought he was gonna
get our heroes tossed into the Sarlacc
pit will be taken to the Dune Sea and
cost to the pig to conquer a nesting
place of the all-powerful Sonic of
course Skywalker predicted Jabba’s
overconfidence and stashed his
lightsaber safely inside r2d2 who along
with Lando knew to be in the right place
at the right time
while Luke was definitely making up some
of the steps as he went along it’s clear
by how often he tries to warn Jabba that
the Jedi was in control the whole time I
seek an audience with your greatness to
bargain for solos life number five
Roger verbal Kint the usual suspects
well I believe in God and the only thing
that scares me is Keyser söze Kevin
Spacey has made a name for himself
playing despicably devious characters
but this oscar-winning role was a tour
de force for him try to tell me you saw
someone kill Keaton about I did I did
man in an effort to find and kill the
one man who can identify his real
identity verbal arranges to have himself
locked up with a who’s who of known
criminals our knows who’s the GIMP he’s
okay
says you how do I know that what about a
pretzel man what’s your story
his name is verbal verbal Kint
verbal yeah Roger really people say I
talk too much
manipulating and maneuvering a series of
heist this mysterious man recalls his
exploits inside police custody Keyser
Soze or whatever you want to call him he
knows where I am right now he’s got the
front burner under your ass to let me go
so he can scoop me up ten minutes later
Ken shows us how sometimes you might not
find the one thing that is hiding right
under your nose don’t know what you’re
saying I know he can get shot I swear to
you number four Raoul Silva Skyfall once
one of em’s finest protégées Silva is
an expert hacker with a penchant for
mayhem Silva you’re going to be
transferred to Belmarsh prison where
you’ll be reminded in custody until the
Crown Prosecution Service deem you fit
to stand trial seeking vengeance on the
woman he once idolized and loved and who
later betrayed him Silva manages to fool
even James Bond into thinking he’s been
captured
when the wunderkind Q gets his hands on
Silva’s computer and is tricked into
thinking it’s the jackpot he plugs it
into the mi6 mainframe and disaster
ensues why the doors open
the result is one of the most
exhilarating chases in double-oh-seven
history and it was all instigated by one
of the franchise’s most memorable
villains number three the Joker The Dark
Knight we gotcha
he may not look like he has a plan but
you can be damn sure he does have one
he’s the Clown Prince of Crime after all
see I’m not a monster
I’m just ahead of the curve
while Bane had a similar plot in the
trilogy’s third installment the Joker’s
plan was even more unexpected whether it
was his main goal or just an added bonus
while he was getting his hands on Lau
the Joker used this chance to come
face-to-face with Batman we really
should stop this fighting always we’ll
miss the fireworks but even the super
villain in jail wasn’t the problem
though it was that pesky phone call and
planting someone in the prison with a
bomb sewn inside him
The Joker planted because he wanted me
to lock him up in the MCU yep
this was a plan that could only be
conceived by a madman I told you my word
number two Loki the Avengers
you better believe the god of lies and
mischief has a few tricks up his sleeve
I think Loki’s trying to wind us up this
is a man who means to start a war in an
effort to cripple his adversaries before
the battle even commences Loki seemingly
ill-planned public appearance ends with
his capture Nick and reindeer games the
worst part is that everyone knows he’s
up to something but they just can’t
figure out what it is until it’s too
late
then when he allows his goons and a
brainwashed Hawkeye to attack the
Helicarrier letting the Hulk loose in
the process
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are nearly
crushed nearly but not quite like a
drink it’s telling me when change
anything before we get devious with our
top pick here are some honorable
mentions resistance is futile
you did well Anakin he was too dangerous
to be kept alive yes but he was an
unarmed prisoner I shouldn’t have done
that it’s not the Jedi way it is only
natural I’ve always thought about what
you might look like we’ll have that mask
number one John Doe 7 Jeremy I’m alive
because I didn’t kill you
we’re not sure if insanity is a
byproduct of genius or if it’s the other
way around but john doe’s plan showcases
both oh seven dead listeners captain
gluttony
greed
sloth wrath pride lust
and indeed seeking to commit seven
murders modeled after the seven deadly
sins
this anonymous killer successfully
completes five before mysteriously
turning himself into police these two
murders away from completing his
masterpiece we are way after coercing
detectives Mills and Somerset to a
secluded location dovel’s his two final
victims Mills wife a victim of dose envy
and himself a victim of Mills wrath it’s
as heartbreaking as it is horrifying as
doz plan comes to fruition with the
seventh murder whatever he needs do you
