let me show you getting blinded by
science was the least of these guys
worries welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 movie science experiments
that went horribly wrong
for this list the film experiments in
question may have started out based on
altruistic purposes but they inevitably
take a hard left into life-threatening
terror tell them I and will admit
scientists have given us so many life
improving advancements but let’s be
honest that’s hardly any fun to see on
the big screen also a spoiler alert is
definitely in order cut into the
transmitter pod with me that first time
when I was alone number 10 to recreate
the Super Soldier Serum The Incredible
Hulk in this reimagining of Stan Lee and
Jack Kirby’s creation dr. Bruce Banner
attempts to remake the Super Soldier
Serum that gave us Captain America a
significantly nobler endeavor than his
comic book counterpart who was building
a bomb he was so sure of what he was on
to that he tested it on himself and
something very wrong
or it went berry right
what didn’t change from the comic
however is banners bad luck in both
cases the good doctor is exposed to
gamma radiation that unpredictably
transforms him into a big green monster
whenever he’s hurt mad or his heart rate
surges Bruce cannot control himself
accidentally trashing cities hurting
people and ruining his wardrobe when in
the guise of the green Goliath and when
the technology that turned him into the
Hulk falls into the wrong hands well you
can imagine the destruction that causes
you’ll just get back on the table
fix this number 9 to search for a higher
being the island of dr. Moreau two
things mad scientists enjoy playing God
and Island living well if they’re
anything like dr. Moreau that is here
the titular character is a Nobel
prize-winning man of science who’s
withdrawn to a secluded Island his
sights set on creating human animal
hybrids
tomorrow the beast folk represent the
next evolutionary step for the human
race
free of hatred and the worst aspects of
humankind and I have almost achieved
perfection you see of a divine picture
it is pure harmonious absolutely
incapable malice in case his genetic
manipulation wasn’t enough to keep his
creations in line the father as they
call him uses remote-controlled pain
inducing implants drugs and the law to
ensure they behave but their animal
instincts eventually take over causing
the mutants to remove their implants
reject the father and stage a violent
takeover of the island
number eight to cure cancer I am Legend
take something designed by nature and
reprogram it to make it work for the
body rather than against it we’re
talking about a virus indeed yes in this
case the measles a cure for cancer
definitely a noble cause but what if our
scientific experimentation led to the
end of the world scientists genetically
modify a strain of measles in an attempt
to create a cancer remedy but instead of
ridding the world of a horrible illness
an even more horrible fate is unleashed
on humanity so far almost 5,000 patients
treated with a retrofitted virus has
begun exhibiting symptoms resembling the
early onset of rabies 25 patients have
already died only 1% of the population
is immune to the Crippen virus while 9
out of 10 people who catch it die the
other 9% become dark seekers homicidal
mutants who can’t tolerate the Sun or
Will Smith apparently
Smith is part of the lonely 1% so he’s
left wandering the ruins of the once
heavily populated world trying to find a
cure to Crippen fighting off dark
seekers and desperately searching for
another human 7 to bridge space-time
event horizon this is the gateway they
say the road to hell is paved with good
intentions well in this entry the good
intention is an artificial black hole
and the hell may literally be just that
the gravity Drive was created to use
black holes to jump from point A to
point B far quicker than otherwise would
have been possible certainly a game
changer when it comes to space
exploration but it links more than just
two points in the space-time continuum
it opens a portal to a nightmarish
dimension she tore a hole in our
universe the gateway to another
dimension a dimension of pure chaos pure
evil side effects for the crew on this
mission include hallucinations and
possession by some malevolent force
death is seemingly inescapable for those
aboard the event horizon starship
leading to a full-on space massacre they
don’t prep you for at Space Camp
number six to cure Alzheimer’s disease
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
we gave her what we call alz-112 a gene
therapy that allows the brain to create
its own cells in order to repair itself
like our 8th entry the main idea here
was to end a horrible real-life illness
inspired by his own father’s experience
with Alzheimer’s scientist will rodman
creates a drug called alz-112 as a
potential cure in biology this is called
neurogenesis here Genesis we call it the
cure to Alzheimer’s when tested on
chimps it increases their intelligence
as does the stronger gaseous version alz
113 of course with that higher IQ comes
the need for the Apes to question their
status in the brutal human world and
thus the revolt begins in the fight for
the Apes freedom lives are lost and
battle lines are drawn between species
once alz 1:13 proves deadly to humans
well it’s no wonder the Apes are able to
rise better hail Caeser now while you
have the chance Caesar I’m sorry is it
my fault this has to stop
number 5 to provide renewable fusion
based power spider-man 2
ladies and gentlemen
fasten your seatbelts this reimagining
of dr. Otto Octavius starts off as a
nice guy he’s an adoring husband and
mentor as well as the creator of a
fusion power reactor destined to solve
the world’s energy crisis using this
machine involves mechanical arms with
artificial intelligence which are linked
into the doctors brain too bad the
experiment was funded by Oscorp a
company seemingly specializing in
science gone awry an energy spike causes
the reactor to become unstable
ultimately leading to the death of
octavius’s wife fusion of the arms to
his spine and the creation of one
classic supervillain and while Norman
Osborn creating the Goblin formula was
certainly hazardous to New York’s health
that didn’t even compare to the damage
doc ock nearly caused recreating his
reactor what are you doing
number four to understand good and evil
dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde I beg of you
Jekyll tell them who you are tell them
what you’ve done these characters served
as inspiration for the Incredible Hulk
although unlike our superhero friend mr.
Hyde has no heroic moments in this film
dr. Jekyll wants to understand the good
and evil that resides within each human
what’s more he hopes to isolate each
side in an effort to eradicate the
negative aspects of the psyche
altogether to accomplish this he creates
a formula that brings out the worst in
its subjects ultimately using himself as
the first human guinea pig he was
destroy the formula wants to understand
oh no no I mean it was destroyed from
your mind you can’t take this thing
again the outcome is mr. Hyde an abusive
scoundrel who personifies the evil
living beneath dr. Jekyll’s refined
surface sadly Jekyll can’t control the
monster within who becomes a dangerous
predator and terrorizes London keeping
the doctor in constant turmoil no use
chuckling better come clarity
number three to bring back dinosaurs
Jurassic Park going right all the time
kids love dinosaurs
kids love theme parks why not combine
them sounds great until the tourists
become lunch using new technology and
know-how plus a little Dino DNA
extracted from preserved mosquitoes John
Hammonds bioengineering company makes T
Rexes and Raptors a thing of the present
not the past a DNA strand like me is a
blueprint for building a living thing
and sometimes animals that went extinct
millions of years ago like dinosaurs
left their blueprints behind for us to
find oh if only that were the end of the
story it only takes one disgruntled
computer programmer to sabotage the
entire experiment without electrified
containment fences those once majestic
creatures go on a killing spree their
target anything that moves
especially Jurassic park’s unlucky
guests jurassic world indominus rex may
have been a next-level force to be
reckoned with but we have to acknowledge
the original laboratory oops that
started the chaos why the hell would you
turn the other ones off number two to
create human life Frankenstein no mad
science experiment is more iconic than
dr. Henry Frankenstein’s quest to use
electricity as the spark to create human
life unfortunately the good doctors
experiment was as misunderstood as the
creature he created you have created a
monster indeed we destroy you
cobbling together a mishmash of body
parts he amassed from dubious sources
and harnessing the power of lightning
dr. Frankenstein becomes a master of
death if only briefly incited by his
fear of fire but propelled by his
criminal brain the dim-witted monster
rebels ultimately committing murder
sometimes out of naivete sometimes due
to pure rage so we’d have to give dr.
Frankenstein’s experiment a big F
although if his true plan was to start a
long-running franchise Universal Studios
probably considers it a rousing success
bring him down to the village and let’s
take him home before we unveil our
number-one pick here are some honorable
mentions I feel fear for the last time
we’re going to pull together and we’re
gonna find a way to get out of here
first we’re gonna seal off
what what’s happening what breed check
his airway his lungs are seized in
debate number one to teleport humans the
fly
teleportation please that baboon demo
was bad enough but dr. Seth Brundle took
his experiment up a notch resulting in
probably the biggest science fail in
cinema history
dr. Brundle builds telepods matter
transportation devices that
theoretically can send stuff from one
pod to the other immediately but one
drunken trip into the pod is all it
takes for this science experiment to go
terribly wrong are we waiting for let’s
do it unbeknownst to Brundle a housefly
tags along and the computer fuses their
molecules and genes the result is a body
horror mutation only David Cronenberg
could create as the doctors hybrid self
becomes less human both physically and
emotionally know something I never
existed afar I’m becoming brundlefly
eventually the brundlefly loses so much
of its humanity it tries to merge itself
with his girlfriend and their unborn
child will be the ultimate family a
family of three joined together in one
more human and I have alone do you agree
with our list whatever doesn’t kill me
makes me stronger yeah and ends our
careers what other movie experiments
kept you away from lab class for the
last time Lennon would you let me leave
here alone for more entertaining top 10s
