Top 10 Scenes With Villains on the Roof of the Car


just when you thought you’d left all
your troubles behind welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten scenes
with villains on the roof of the car
this list we’re looking at movie scenes
where a persistent bad guy won’t be
deterred by the pesky metal barrier of a
motor vehicle especially not when
they’re trying to kill maim or otherwise
incapacitate the occupants inside if you
thought the advanced safety features on
that expensive sedan were enough to keep
you alive you haven’t seen enough movies
number 10 agent 23 gets 86th get smart
it’s not over max I’ll take that
briefcase if you want it
if you’re a spy and you’re in the middle
of a fistfight with Dwayne the rock
Johnson on top of a speeding vehicle
chances are you’re gonna get a little
desperate especially if you look and
think like Steve Carell I know I’m just
trying to ignore you as he so aptly
demonstrates the obvious move is to go
for a little shock and awe and throw the
villain off his game
unusual or tofurkey and what better way
to add a little confusion to
hand-to-hand combat than to late a juicy
kiss on your foe number nine keep on
truckin near dark disappointed me yeah
you’re gonna have to pay back before
bill paxton was chasing down tornadoes
but after he played a horrible older
brother to a socially awkward teen he
was kind of a dickish vampire boom in
fact he was sort of a sociopath
which is probably a good trade to have
if you’re a vampire it’s finger-licking
good
but it’s hell for everyone else
especially since it’s damn near
impossible to kill him and that also
means that even tractor trailers aren’t
safe not when there’s a vampire with a
grudge on the loose
number eight stop drop and roll Ernest
scared stupid Bobby down Bobby help who
would have thought that Ernest P Worrell
would go from Hawking soda pop to
starring in his own feature films this
time we see the titular character and
his canine sidekick taking on a
legendary troll and not of the internet
variety too smart for you huh
now this one’s arrived in Ernests
hometown to suck kids energy and this
sanitation engineer is apparently the
only one to save them
okay stubby about a little off the top
on gar while the troll stabs that Ernest
through the vans roof the dog is the
true victim here
we did it rimshot we got it I am troll
fighter number one number seven alien
gets tanked aliens do nothing just when
it seems like Ripley’s escaped the acid
blooded alien monsters she’s thrown
smack-dab into another confrontation
despite her best efforts not to she ends
up at the scene of the first alien
encounter where things have gone awry
for a group of would-be colonists
goddamnit that’s not all but when the
aliens attacked and she and some of the
soldiers she’s accompanying seek to make
a hasty exit via one of the military
vehicles it turns out the aliens aren’t
gonna let them escape so easily
Ripley one aliens zero there you go
number six animal magnetism Ace Ventura
pet detective
no problem it gets flooded we’ll just
wait a few seconds what’s best about
this scene is that there’s no real sense
of urgency on Asus part sure his car
won’t start and sure there’s a dude
actively demolishing his car with a bat
but like whatever just make jokes even
better when the bad guy finally bashes
his way through the rear window and onto
your car just casually bite his hand it
works just goes to show you can learn a
lot from your animals
number five boy robots iRobot there’s no
way my luck is that bad at some point
Will Smith’s character decides that he
should stop trying to be casually cool
in the driver’s seat and actually
utilized the steering wheel that moment
is right when he pulls up behind a truck
carrying a massive hoard of robots set
on kill this right here dude mode you’re
experiencing a car accident BAM
the robots swarm as they tend to do and
Smith’s character manages to utter what
seems to be his go-to catchphrase oh
hell just before he has to start
struggling to maintain control of his
car while not being murdered
number four fine Young Cannibals
doomsday it’s reassuring to know that
when you’re in the middle of a
catastrophic viral outbreak that is
demolished all social structure at least
there are still some reliable Bentleys
available for the taking
and when one of the cannibalistic wild
men decides to car surf on top of said
Bentley in the middle of a violent chase
feel confident in the knowledge that you
can simply barrel that vehicle through
an exploding bus without incident
number three cop-out Jeepers Creepers
hold on central the sky is falling when
a monster has a theme song you know it’s
serious
and when said monster straight up
attacks two cops by yanking them through
the roof of their patrol car you know
there’s no turning back at that point it
should be an all-points bulletin for
dusty flying ghouls looking to collect
body parts to complete its
transformation or whatever it is that
prompted its killing spree
number two terminate with extreme
prejudice Terminator 2 Judgment Day I
need a vacation let’s be honest you knew
that at some point the fact that this
Terminator could turn its arms into
Spears would come up and we’d be seeing
it stabbed through the roof of a car and
we were not disappointed when John
Connor and company are on the run from
this relentless attempted assassin known
as the t1000 the kid gloves come off in
this case the human hands transform into
metal hooks you could also say that car
surfing is a franchise tradition seeing
as the TX later goes for an overhead
ride as well
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions crack replica
you fight like a young man you get to
begin click your finish number one two
of a kind
The Matrix Reloaded you always told me
to stay off the freeway yes that’s true
if someone told us the filmmakers
constructed the stretch of highway for
this scene just so we could see an agent
jump on the hood of a car
we believe it which brings me back to
the reason why we’re here
once Trinity and Morpheus flee with the
keymaster we see all sorts of rooftop
antics throughout the scene and that’s
why it’s the unopposed winner
we see Morpheus combat the twins we see
Trinity not crash somehow and we also
witness an agent land on their moving
vehicle and peel back its hood like it’s
a blanket do you agree with our list
well that’s just stupid
what do you think is the best car riding
villain seen for more entertaining top
