The Worst Way To Defeat An Enemy

I just watched this movie Flight Of The Dragons.

I was half enjoying until it came to the defeat of Ommadon. That has to be the most retarded way to defeat an enemy I ever saw. I understood the reasoning. It was the method of how it was carried out. After that I was just disappointed about the ending.


What is the worst method you have ever seen used to destroy the bad guy in a fantasy or sci-fi film? Was it the special effects or just poor imagination?

How would you have done it?

Re: The Worst Way To Defeat An Enemy

The worst that I ever saw was in the movie "Signs". I mean come on, the aliens are smart enough for space travel, but they decide to attack a world mostly made of water when water kills them?

Re: The Worst Way To Defeat An Enemy

I wasn't huge fan of 300, it was ok but way over hyped imo. One of the scenes that bugged me was when they built this huge wall of corpses (ok defense from arrows, all good so far) and then they waited until ONE guy was standing in front of it... one!... and pushed the wall on top of him. Then they climb over the corpses to fight the enemy that is still standing on nice solid ground? Maybe not worthy of worst ever and I know it's not meant to be realistic but tactically that's gotta be questionable.

Re: The Worst Way To Defeat An Enemy

A Flight of Dragons was one of my favorite movies as a child!

But in answer to your question...

I know it wasn't a personified enemy, but the corruption of the male side of magic in The Wheel of Time was a very real and powerful enemy and yet they defeated it just by running it through a filter. It was kind of anti-climatic for such a huge event considering it was a fundamental change to their world and hardly anyone took note of it. One of the reasons I stopped reading WoT, apart from the lack of plot progression and deeper characterization after the third book.

Re: The Worst Way To Defeat An Enemy

Oh I dunno, I think its nothing compared to the might of the most advanced army in the known universe being beaten by ........Teddy Bears!

Oh please I have never been able to watch Return to jedi without cringing oh lord where was Darth Vader when you need him!

I agree with signs it was the worst idea for a film ever, wouldnt the water vapour in the air kill em as well?
