even the most brilliant evildoer can
slip up from time to time welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 dumbest
decisions made by movie villains before
we begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
awful judgment calls made by big screen
antagonists a spoiler alert is
definitely in order if you’re hearing
this and every step leading up to it to
his ghost plan number 10
assuming Kirk King Khan won’t talk star
trek into darkness sometimes when you
want something done it’s better to do it
yourself when Admiral Alexander Marcus
sends Kirk after Khan his plan hinges on
the Maverick captain following orders
he tells Kirk to blow Khan to kingdom
come an extrajudicial killing that goes
against everything Starfleet stands for
I don’t want you hurt but I want to take
him out a perk changes his mind and has
just one conversation with Khan Marx’s
whole house of cards falls apart and of
course that’s exactly what happens on
behalf of Christopher Mike
my friend I accept your surrender after
spa protests Kirk decides to caption
Khan who exposes Marcus’s shady past and
hidden agenda my name is Kai number nine
assembling a team of heroes and
revealing his entire plan to them the
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen I
intend to be the greatest weapon of all
the part of the league itself
Moriarty’s master plan seems solid
enough when you leave out all the
details it’s the Phantom he’ll staged
attacks that manipulate European powers
into war then he’ll sell superhuman
abilities to both sides and voila
profit margin it for him profit but to
obtain physical samples from
super-powered individuals he assembles
the titular team of Extraordinary
Gentlemen and sends them on a mission
against himself it was a ruse to get me
closer to my goal worse after getting
what he needs he leaves them a recording
message explaining the whole plan after
all what’s a clever scheme if you don’t
get to gloat
it is over for you number eight trading
his firearm for a bow Beauty and the
Beast
[Music]
no one matches wits like Gaston and no
one shoots like Gaston so why does he
bring a bow to kill the Beast during the
song and dance celebrating his thick
neck and hirsute chest
Gaston shows off his blunderbuss skills
by firing three shots in rapid
succession and in an earlier scene he
proves he can use the firearm with
pinpoint accuracy might have been a good
idea to bring that along to the final
panel
[Applause]
yes Tom might be burly and brawny but
he’s definitely not brainy how can you
read this there’s no pictures number
seven releasing a psychopath to preserve
a utopia demolition man
I’ll have accomplished to create the
perfect society my society
dr. Raymond Cocteau has created the
perfect society one rife with politeness
and awkward high fives
but he’s achieved pacifism at a cost
personal freedom are you shittin me
rather than retraining his own docile
police force to put down a rebellion
Cocteau helps Psychopaths Simon Phoenix
escaped prison and put together a merry
band of violent criminals hoping the
ruffians will eliminate the resistance
terrified of you what’s new people have
always been terrified shockingly this
ends terribly for Cocteau whom Phoenix
orders to be executed who would have
thought sometimes fighting fire with
fire just creates more fire number six
choosing the hardest way to kill em
Skyfall
embittered and vengeful former agent
Rallo Silva has a plan the most
elaborate improbable plan possible he
could probably just kill em by
triggering the bomb that blows up mi6
headquarters while she’s actually inside
the building but that would be too easy
instead he hires an assassin to steal a
list of undercover agents luring James
Bond to come after the assassin which
results in bond meeting his associate
Severine which in turn leads to Silva’s
capture allowing Silva to confront M
escape capture aim a subway train at
Bond and attack M during a public
inquiry which fails forcing him to start
over number 5
letting luking company escaped with the
plans to the Death Star Star Wars
Episode four a new hope they must be
trying to return the stolen plans to the
princess Darth Vader fought hard to
regain the stolen plans to the Death
Star
[Music]
so it’s pretty fortuitous when the plans
fall back into his lap smuggled inside
r2d2 in the captured Millennium Falcon
fader surmises that the plans are on
board and knows they’re dangerous and
rebel hands but then decides to let Luke
and company escape in order to follow
them to the rebel base and destroy the
rebellion all at once I’m taking an
awful risk Vader this had better work
even Tarkin has a bad feeling about this
turns out he’s right number four
sending his gliders speaking towards
himself spider-man misery misery misery
that’s what you’ve chosen after an epic
battle with spider-man the Green Goblin
law is defeated but he has one last
trick up his sleeve or in his sleeve
whatever while pretending to be a good
person plagued by dark forces Osborne
surreptitiously steers his glider into
position behind spider-man when the ruse
fails the knives come out and the glider
dives forward Osborn is killed instead
but even if spider-man hadn’t jumped out
of the way the glider would have impaled
them both being turned into a shish
kebab doesn’t seem to be what Osborn was
hoping for number three everything the
cyclos do Battlefield Earth all your
soldiers and all their advanced
technology could only put up a measly
nine minute fight supposedly the cyclos
defeated Earth’s armies in nine minutes
but looking at John Travolta’s lumbering
dreadlocked Earl it’s hard to see how
he’s baffled that dogs aren’t good at
manual labor for some reason they
weren’t as useful and came to manual
labor and when human hero Johnny shoots
a guard turtle hands him back the gun
insisting humans are too stupid
[Applause]
I’ll be damned then watching Johnny to
mine gold he educates him in science and
de cyclos language and even brings him
to a library so that he can read about
humankind’s cultures in history when all
this comes back to bite him in the ass
only turtle is surprised are you not
aware that I graduated top of my class
number two double-crossing the world’s
most feared assassin John wick Chapter
two getting on John wicks bad side seems
like a pretty bad idea
according to legend he once killed three
men with a pencil I once saw Hannah kill
three men in a bar with the bouncer he’s
the man you sent to kill the boogie man
he massacred dozens of gangsters to get
the man who killed his dog
so when crime Lloyd Santino Dantonio
chooses to double-cross him he’s
obviously asking for trouble after John
fulfills his end of the deal by
assassinating Santino sister Santino
could just let him go instead he decides
to tie up loose ends resulting
inevitably in his own assassination yeah
Jonathan number one invading a planet
that’s mostly water when they’re
vulnerable to water signs I don’t think
they like water they’ve mastered
interstellar travel and the art of crop
circle drawing but apparently not
waterproof clothing when aliens invade
Earth they manage to carve up a few
crops and incite occasional jump scares
but are quickly sent packing when humans
discover their weakness h2o
the aliens apparently forgot to do their
research overlooking the fact that
there’s quite a lot of it here and
issuing any sort of protective gear as
Merril swings away the last alien
standing falls back and is killed by a
simple glass of water
