9 Movie Characters Who Randomly Disappear With No Explanation

[@speedincooper]

I watched the Force Awakens and randomly disappeared half way through the movie too.

[@WreakinHavocOnU]

This comment cracked me up!

[@ryandegrave8978]

Why? It was a good movie.

[@SrMorua]

@@ryandegrave8978 not for the fans of the lore

[@ryandegrave8978]

@@SrMorua That is incorrect. You mean "Not for men who can't handle a strong female lead, or the sheep who don't like it because they heard other people didn't like it." This has nothing to do with lore.

[@SrMorua]

@@ryandegrave8978 I don't know, I am not a hardcore fan, but there were things I dislike a lot, like not development in the story of Kylo, the reason why he kill Han Solo looks cheap. Also, it would had been nice to see Leia being trained in the force, as every other jedi, at least as a flashback before she uses it during the ship wreckage and decompression, I consider it really nice at the end of the original trilogy that she had that potential. I think Rey's path of ascension looks " easy" like ifshe had no struggle, not need to correct mistakes or anything, that is a turn down for many people, as most will identify with a character that may has flaws, but learns to overcome them. I like strong female roles, like Wonder Woman (the first movie) or even Alien, and yes, there could be chauvinistic people who dislikes them as no one is perfect, but the movie lacks, it really does, and Luke role is terrible, he went backwards, I was expecting a mature role, like Yoda, like Obi Wann, a master that knows how to keep his head cool and not just being like a parody if itself. Also, it the part where the rebels use the ship to kamikaze the Imperial ship, well, if that was possible, why the same strategy was not used before? Sending instead missiles with warp jumps? There are videos of fan nerds who explain in the lore that is not possible. Anyways, I don't think is just because there is a strong female role, because other movies with strong females has been succesful and didn't have that backlash, but I know Disney created a campaign to make others believe this (the dislike for strong women) is why people dislike it, because they were not humble to recognize the execution of their ideas was not proper, again, the idea is fine, but the execution was not.

[@davidjecmenek8943]

"an island occupied by dinosaur clones" is a weak premise? That's the exact same as the first one.

[@michaelgualtieri651]

Okay your a little off about Nick dissappearing. The offical last time we see him is when he, Ian, Sarah, and Kelly are on the helicopter leaving Sorna before we head on to the 3rd act with the T Rex in San Diego. I just assumed that since Kelly is missing from the entire 3rd act except for the final apartment scene, I believe that while Ian & Sarah were dealing with Ludlow and the T Rex stuff, Nick was watching Kelly. Its never officially said of course, but I think that's the best explanation that makes sense.

[@howler109]

I always thought he just went off to his next job or was recovering at home, which apparently wasn't San Diego.

[@mrmidnight2194]

I was about to say that.

[@w0rm45]

I agree with you all. After surviving that mission. He deserved some RNR. I do feel if they got the chance to ask him to help with the the T-Rex in the streets, he would jump back in with no questions asked.

[@captaingroot5812]

Whoever wrote this list must be the type of person who asks painfully obvious questions after the movie is over.

[@Rockhound6165]

If you actually watched The Dirty Dozen they clearly say that Jimenez broke his neck after falling into a tree when the group parachutes to their mission spot. That's how they wrote him out of the movie. And he didn't leave over money. He left on the advice of Frank Sinatra in order to maintain his music career.

[@bob123789456]

In Minority Report I actually prefer that there is no closure to his son’s disappearance, that’s kinda the point, that he’s eternally suffering bc of never knowing his son’s fate

[@mrsmonster7020]

In the Dirty Dozen, Lopez's character breaks his neck while parachuting down to the mission area. They absolutely mention him dying because they have to replace him in the mission 'rhyme'. He is called 'mayonnaise' in the poem they all memorize, and they replace his jobs with others of the group. He doesn't just disappear like this video describes. There is an explanation given.

[@wordkyle]

Yep. Jimenez was hung up in an apple tree. "His neck's broken." At 1:45:45

[@NewLegacy93]

funnily enough, there are the pair of them that do disappear while holding the bridge iirc. I'm pretty sure I remember that their deaths just got cut though

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

@@NewLegacy93Yes, that’s true. We never see the fates of Clint Walker as Posey and the other Dozen member “Bravos.” They are guarding the bridge over the river, but we don’t see what happens to them once the shooting starts.

[@Zed-fq3lj]

they didn't watch Dirty Dozen (Whatculture) and dare to comment about it, that's disgraceful...they read some trivia, and that was it - hacks! 🤢

[@bheast86]

yes, it's referred to in SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE

[@johnarksey9460]

Sry, have to nitpick on the Dirty Dozen's Jimenez - although brief, one of the team members stated that he found Jimenez hanging from a tree with a broken neck shortly after they landed for their mission

[@babserella2778]

Uhm....we see Nick in the helicopter, where he reveals that he took out the hunter's massive bullets and thus saved the t-rex's life. "Guess that's one trophy he's not getting." That's the resolution of his plot arc. It's neat and tidy. There's no reason for him to be in San Diego for the finale. Why would he be? He's incredibly smart for not being further involved.

[@FOSSMANJosh]

Even though this is probably an unpopular opinion.I actually like Jurassic park III

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

It's the least overly bombastic story in the Jurassic franchise and is better for it. It's a tight little story only marred by the "talking" raptor. Great cast as well.

[@scottyboyrulez]

Actually, when it comes to The Room, Peter does NOT disappear from the movie. During Johnny's birthday party, after everyone goes outside. When Mark and Lisa are again about to cheat, a random person arrives to scold them for cheating. That IS Peter. Wisseau replaced the og actor. But of course, didn't write dialogue explaining who it was.

[@Eldanogrande]

Seth Green vanished from Enemy of the State and was excluded from the credits.

[@sharebear421]

Jurassic park lost world was great

[@Thrythlind]

the Lost World is vaguely based on Crighton's second novel and the premise is that the island with the theme park is the zoo/theme park while the other island is where the industrial cloning goes on. So not that lukewarm, does make sense that they'd hide the unappealing aspects from the tourists. Still not as good as the first one.

[@BurnzyNUFC]

Glad to see Kevin McKidd in Kingdom of Heaven on this list... I was gutted when he disapeared from the film, especially considering how many other great characters die in the movies first half. Definitely could have done with keeping him around at least through most of it.

[@unknownartist3126]

Barricade from every transformers movie he's in

[@starscreamthecruel8026]

Canon says hes a loner. He doesnt even like the other Decepticons so long absences for him, aren't uncommon. Anti social sod.

[@draygoon69]

Minority Report shouldn't be on this list. We know all we needed to know about his son. His son was kidnapped right from under his nose. The story is not about his son nor do we need to see his inevitable death to understand the story taking place. IMO, if they showed what happened to his son it wouldn't fit. How would anyone find out in order to tell him. They would need to add a bunch of subplot simply to explain how someone managed to find out what happened to his son which has no bearing on the story we are watching.

[@bryana50cents16]

Even as a kid I always wondered what happened to Vince Vaughns character 😂😂😂 because he was just gone

[@lulukomadori9651]

What crazy about disney awful trilogy for SW is all the promotion/hype when they had the cast do interviews, and look at it now, there hasn't been ANYTHING with ep 7-9 cause they know how badly they mess up, not even books

[@theoriginalThud]

There has not been "anything" because the alleged episodes do not exist.

[@wallythewondercorncake8657]

"an open top apartment" You mean "a roof"?

[@thejabberwalker]

Jiminez broke his neck in a tree when they parachuted in. C'mon, bro.

[@jasondavis2995]

Girl (at this point) The Lost World Jurassic Park is easily the best sequel.

[@the_lost_navigator]

I attributed the death of 'Mayonnaise' offscreen due to realistic exigencies of War - Jimenez' chute failed to open - sh...it happened. Go figure - now I know.

[@WyvernSone]

My favorite JP character is Alan Grant. Followed by Ian Malcom and Brooklyn from JWCC.

[@richardboss2892]

No, the Force Awakens characters are not brilliant. Not by a long shot. Stop suckling on Disney's teets.

[@EnricoPallazzoooo]

Alan Grant, duh

[@michaeldimodica1018]

Nick Van Owen guided malcolm and the girls to the chopper that took them all home. Did whoever wrote this even watch the movie?

[@tjtaylor6431]

The wordplay in the #1 entry was electrifyin’

[@karmabum21]

I got chills from it

[@riseanx]

The prequels and sequels are terrible

[@ironjade]

Joanna Cassidy disappears in Ghosts of Mars, also Janet Leigh in The Fog. Harry Dean Stanton vanishes (I think, it's ages since I've seen it) in Christine.

[@chrisbellon3739]

The dirty dozen one, they do explain what happened, his character crashed into a tree as he pachute in France, broke his neck

[@cryospiral]

How do they not even mention what should have been number one, Bobby from the five heartbeats?

[@shaunreinert5202]

Spider-Pig / Harry Plopper should be on this list. Jurassic: Julianne Moore. Because Julianne Moore. ❤

[@ryandegrave8978]

The Simpsons were crossing a plank to Flanders' house during their escape from the angry mob when Plopper pushed the plank, causing them to fall. This is shortly before the house collapsed, with Plopper still inside. He didn't disappear. He died.

[@deaconfrost6229]

Funny how you mentioned Kevin McKidd's prior shows w/o mentioning Grey's Anatomy, where he's been a regular since 2008, amassing 349 episodes. This is what he's know for at this point. Not Rome.

[@riddla11]

Seriously, looks like the forgot to check his imdb

[@bell6dandy564]

They do this on purpose. Just like when they mispronounced names. They do it for the extra comments etc.

[@wallythewondercorncake8657]

Well they aren't going to list his entire filmography and you obviously looked that up. Also, no, that's not what he's most known for.

[@michaelwieber1857]

They all disappeared just like the 10th entry on this list.

[@hydra8845]

No the sequel trilogy sucks and your example just shows why

[@jpd9h2i7]

Get over it the prequels sucked.

[@Robo311Star]

Get over getting over it. Getting over it is over with.

[@bryana50cents16]

Get over it

[@sharebear421]

Phantom menace is the best Star Wars movie (in terms of the 9 main ones)

[@mikearisbrocken8507]

The prequels sucked harder except for the third. Also the third of the sequels sucked, but in general were better. People just have nostalgia sickness. Star Wars are not that big of a masterpiece to feel offended by the sequels.

[@manbearpig3507]

ok McKidd isn't explained but think its pretty damn safe to assume he didn't survive the voyage across the Mediterranean was most likely on the same ship as Balian who seems to be the only survivor. When Balian inherited Ibelin and the titles that came with it all of those men woulda swore fealty to him and traveled with him the only reason why McKidd's character is never seen again is because he is dead its simple logic

[@mabusxb856]

Nick van Owen ran to the radio tower before everyone else.

[@mrdth1987]

I'm a sequel hater and it's not the characters that I have problem with it, it's very poor writing

[@georgiawin97]

"9 movie characters who randomly disappear with no explanation." "Turns out there was an explanation." 🙄🙄🙄

[@Zed-fq3lj]

Next time, WATCH Dirty Dozen (it's a cult movie, it's disgraceful to talk about it without actually watching it), watch it and PAY ATTENTION to what happened to Jimenez character after the drop at the enemy territory, and don't rely only on trivia you read about it! OK? Do you actually watch movies you talk about? Unless you wanted a scene with a guy with a broken neck hanging from a tree, it was explained.

[@neilcameron7705]

Mystery Men: Dr. Anabel Leek, Casanova's prison psychiatrist and love interest. She disappears halfway thru the film

[@mattt233]

For The Lost World the ending was changed last minute. I believe reading Nick had a larger role in the original ending before it was changed.

[@ScottCurryistheOne]

Kevin McKidd known for ‘and the TV series …Rome?!? He’s been on Grey’s Anatomy for like 15 seasons and it’s slightly more popular than…Rome (wherever that is/was)

[@karmabum21]

I just watched Grease 2 the other day and it's true, Frenchy literally disappears from the movie and only has one scene with the other pink ladies

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Amazing video of movies characters that probably missing in some scenes in there movies franchise,fantastic job. I’m not a fan of Nick Van Owen in lost world Jurassic Park and I think the best characters besides Alan Grant,Ian Malcolm is Billy from Jurassic Park 3 etc.

[@NicoleAlexander-r8e]

I agree that the Force Awakens was great. I'm demisexual, so tight emotional bonds like form here are totally hot (and the REAL way to fell love). And they remembered to keep the boys unafraid to share affection physically (Finn and Poe's reunion for example).

[@ProfArmitage218]

Dr. Leek, the secondary villain from the 1999 superhero comedy "Mystery Men" vanished without a trace midway through the movie. The comic book adaptation from Dark Horse revealed her fate, possibly based on an earlier draft of the script. She's first shown to apparently be the actual villain, with Casanova Frankenstein being her brainwashed puppet. After Mr. Furious' girlfriend Monica is kidnapped, Casanova starts flirting with her. Dr. Leek jealously orders him to get rid of her, at which point he reveals he was never under her control and he just used her to escape the mental hospital, and he murders her.

[@FatNorthernBigot]

Maz Kanata was in "Last Jedi", wasn't she? I can't say for sure, I might have nodded-off. 😂

[@blakeharris58]

Yes. She was in all three.

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

Go figure. JURASSIC PARK 3 is the only movie in the entire series that I actually like.

[@dantorkel7561]

The whole point of Minority Report is we don’t know what happened. It’s not a plot hole. The kid was kidnapped and his grieving father doesn’t know what happens. Thus, drug use, divorce, etc.

[@xro5841]

As for Minority report. That is the probably the best & or most likely outcome of his disappearance. Never seen or heard from again, or body found later. They went with Never.

[@jedlawson3494]

The force awakens does have good characters . . . Which they do nothing interesting with for 3 movies. Sorry Whatculture, it's just the truth.

[@davidcurry332]

Liked nick van Owen Aka Vince Vaughn always thought he would appeared in some of the later ones it’s unfortunate. I thought his character was really cool.

[@CYCO1631]

Best character's in the Jurassic movies are those who are so tough, they survive being eaten, just so that they can appear in the next movie. Henry Wu is such a character, who survives being eaten by raptors, ad goes on to create the Indomious Rex for Jurassic World. Though to understand the full extent of 'eaten by raptors,' one must also read the book.

[@joellim7521]

lol.. calls ppl who don't like the sequels haters.. when one of the reason why ppl don't like it is because it seems like there's no direction.. like characters disappearing from the list.. basically the purpose of the list

[@gonzar09]

I felt that Sean's disappearance being left unexplained is better. The uncomfortable truth is that a lot of people are kidnapped/disappear without a trace, and their families are left with a hole in their collective hearts, never getting a full explanation. It hits hard, and helps to mold Anderton as a character.

[@Sos4R4y]

What about Elvira in Scarface (1983)? She had a fight with Tony in the restaurant and is never seen again

[@axétério]

I disagree with Minority Report inclusion. The son disappearance going unsolved was more important to the story than it needing to be solved in more detail. “The Room being an otherwise perfectly fine film” 🤣

[@donnarobinson7480]

Robert Muldoon. Best character in Jurassic Park. X

Yeah, So Grease 2 is better than the original -Especially the soundtrack. and I will die on this Hill.

[@GrayHand-jz6ie]

It often happens due to studio reedits. One of the worst I ever saw was the 13th Warrior. The king's son who is being set up as opposing the warriors just disappears around the time of the first battle. Since he's never seen again I assume he dies in one of the battles but the scene was obviously cut. It was a little like Loki disappearing midway through the Avengers movie. You'd wonder what happened.

[@ryandegrave8978]

I remember that movie very differently. The king's son led the heroes throughout the movie before dying very dramatically at the end. Are you talking about the brother that he killed early in the movie? I don't remember him being set up as an enemy, and the film definitely had a completely different enemy in mind. At any rate, I'm sure they showed his death in the film. His brother killed him in self-defense, or they were dueling or something. It's been a while, but I remember that being the set up for the one who survived to be the next king. I feel like you just missed a part of the movie.

[@GrayHand-jz6ie]

@@ryandegrave8978 Nit even sure what movie you were talking about. The king had two sons they showed but one was a young boy. After the shield fight where his friend kills the big guy the one character disappears. A girlfriend saw a much longer edit of the film with an extra 20 or 30 minutes so they cut a lot of story.

[@ryandegrave8978]

@@GrayHand-jz6ie I just looked it up on Wikipedia, and it seems that whoever wrote the page for this movie remembered it the same way I did. I tried to find other sources that list another "king's son," but I don't see any. I would have to say that you are remembering it incorrectly, or you were confused about what was happening during the movie. I don't remember any other king's son, and he isn't mentioned anywhere.
