Top 10 Outrageous Feats of Strength in Movies


brains maybe better than brawn but how
much can a brain benchpress welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten
outrageous feats of strength in movies
for this list we’ve compiled big screen
feats of strength that are far beyond
the average humans capability and may
seem even superhuman given the
circumstances
superheroes are included but only if the
feat of strength forced them to struggle
greatly and pose a significant challenge
number 10 the plank lived unbroken where
the lifting a large piece of wood over
your head for a significant length of
time is a challenge for most of us on a
good day if it drops in cherdon for an
emaciated brutally tortured prisoner of
war with a sprained ankle even getting
it off the ground is a miracle
holding the beam aloft for much longer
than anyone expects him to Louie
Zamperini showed audiences not just his
considerable physical strength but also
a staggering strength of will and
defiance that proved to be the crowning
glory and climax of this historical
biographical drama number 9 the crime
The Dark Knight Rises
here’s his leap to freedom it’s not
about strength
a broken back isn’t something you just
walk off especially when you’re tossed
into a prison pit and your only hope of
escaping is straight up my body makes
the joke survivin is this period the
song Bruce Wayne not only has to
overcome a crippling injury but also
somehow has to train himself to scale
sheer rock to freedom feed
it’s why you feel now I’m not afraid
I’m angry which without a rope or a
safety harness to catch him is even
harder than usual it’s not a shame
yanmega decline unfortunately unlike the
little flying friends he’s named after
Bruce can’t just sprout wings and soar
away who’s there me rise
instead it’s blood sweat and tears with
a little help from some killer back
muscles number 8 horses for freedom
triumph of the son of Hercules everybody
likes some coliseum style games once in
a while except for the people
participating in them of course
when a few of your buddies are buried up
to their necks in the sand and the only
thing keeping their heads attached to
their shoulders is you it’s time to flex
those biceps and put your back into it
that’s exactly what our hero does in
this Italian action-adventure drama
informally known as the triumph of
machiste
stopping one runaway horse is impressive
stopping two with each arm is almost
Herculean
number seven odd-job crushes golf ball
Goldfinger
a golf course may not seem like the
ideal place to demonstrate your killing
skills but the hag wielding henchman in
this case doesn’t seem to mind oh you
must excuse our job Mr Bond
he’s an admirable man seven what Butte
he’s not a very good caddie our job our
favorite bowler hat wearing batty
demonstrates what he would be more
willing to do to a human skull by
pulverizing a golf ball in the palm of
his hand no biggie right until you try
and do it yourself of course even bond
looks a little freaked out number six
the cop car door kick ass too after
coming you don’t mess with Mother Russia
leave it to Mother Russia
she makes 10 times what we do since 2003
plus expense with a six-pack that puts
Schwarzenegger to shame and guns bigger
than the ones on her belt this cop
killing machine tears the driver’s-side
door off a police car like one of us
would tear a piece of tissue paper
casually deflecting just a few more of
the desperate cops bullets before
continuing her murderous rampage who
needs the jaws of life when you have
this villainous around 50,000 she’s
worth it
number-5 Bezeq tossing rocks the
princess bride when death is on the line
sometimes you just have to use
whatever’s at hand I remember from earth
I believe you
handling rock like a child’s toy
colossal and considerate giant Fezzik
uses a rock to demonstrate his crushing
power to a small opponent so what
happens now we face each other as God
intended sports my life however he
ultimately ops to toss the rocks away
due to the desire for a fair fight
Wesley is lucky that Fezzik prefers to
be sportsman like the children are
number 4 the Grinch lifts the sleigh dr.
Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas
noopy Christmas he thought
doesn’t
compris tall he’s the mean green sleigh
lifting machine in the moments before
mr. green and grouchy is about to ruin
Christmas for all of Whoville a little
visit from a friend Spurs his heart and
his muscles stopping a sleigh laden with
the presents for an entire town from a
steep downhill slide and wasting the
bounty above his head The Grinch earns
the respect of both the townspeople and
bodybuilders everywhere care off dude
it’s Christmas after all the heart is a
muscle
number three the dance lived dead smart
I don’t know it’ll be fun
trust me when you think of ballroom
dancing impressive feats of strength
aren’t usually what comes to mind and
while so light on your feet
I recently lost 150 pounds did I but
agent 86 and his dance partner are all
about breaking the norms as they’re
feisty and competitive routine shows off
from dips to lifts it’s a dance that no
one will forget with some sizzling moves
that tear up the dance floor and a grand
finale that soars above the rest
who said ballroom dancing was all
champagne and fancy suits
thanks for trumping nope
number two the train stop spider-man 2
spider silk maybe the new Kevlar but
Spidey is stopping something a bit
bigger than a bullet
no stranger to some heavy lifting he
showed both his muscles and wit to Mary
Jane when he held up the entire wall of
a building but even that feat was
nothing compared to stopping this
runaway train only through some
tremendous grunting and yelling does he
pull through grinding the Silver Bullet
to a halt before he’s out cold
it’s okay PD you deserve a little snooze
after all that
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
you’re pissing me off
number one raising the island Superman
Returns
normally a feat of super strength coming
from the Man of Steel himself isn’t
something that turns heads
but when he’s lifting an island filled
with the only material that makes him a
weak you bet we’re gonna take notice
lifting one full of kryptonite well
that’s certainly something you don’t see
every day
seeing Superman struggle makes him a
little more human and in this case just
a little more likeable better luck next
time Lex
so do you agree with our list thank you
for that I needed it
