Nobody's mentioned the man-being-eaten-by-Tyrannosaur-while-sitting-on-toilet death from Jurassic Park? Excellent stuff.

It's kind of a cult-type movie, but Riki-O: The Story of Ricky has some of the best deaths out there. In the last scene, Ricky stuffs the still-fighting monster-warden into a giant meat grinder, then pitches his severed head at the camera, where it busts into a bloody mess.

Yeah, that one. I was a kid when I saw that by accident. I didn't sleep for about a week...seriously, I didn't sleep AT ALL.

It still gets to me when I think about it. nasty.

Anywho, it is when the Asian American soldier gets caught up in a misdirected napalm blast and is severely burned on most of his body. The medic comes over and asks a photographer to help him move the soldier to the chopper, and tells him to grab his legs. When the photographer does, he pulls, and takes handfulls of chared skin off the guys legs, almost down to the bone, as he screams bloody murder. When they finally get him on the chopper, he tells the photographer to tell his wife and kids he loves them. That scene sends chills down my spine even now.

Yeah... damn good scene...
but, did you see at the beginning of the film, when there's a french platoon being ambushed?
There's a french soldier who, as he is about to blow a bugle gets shot in the throat... I thought that was brilliant

TheDave87 · 06-27-2003, 09:32 PM

I gotta agree... Willem Dafoe in Platoon... very dramatic

YaWhateva · 06-27-2003, 09:58 PM

all these are really good death scenes, but my favorites are when Buliwyf, the leader of the North Men, dies in the 13th Warrior, and the scene where all those people die from the lasers in Resident Evil. His eye juice came out. Oh, and when Samuel L. Jackson killed those two punks in A Time to Kill, not so much for how cool the death scene was, but mainly because those punks deserved it so much after what they did that it was very satisfying.

fckfckfckfck · 06-29-2003, 10:22 PM

the crow had some kick ass death scenes all around.

Ass end of donnie darko when he dies.

When jewels preaches before killing the guy in Pulp, thats always good stuff

TV- Tasha Yar's death on TNG.

The mothers death in igby goes down, first time i saw that i was like

Kinda crazy like.

And what was alluded to in KIDS. With casper, left my mouth gaping.

and im spent

(worst- Dizzys death in Starship troppers, on the shuttle up...wow, just an awful thing.)

losfp · 06-30-2003, 05:10 AM

Damn, I was going to say Rickman in Die Hard, too

The death at the end of Dead Poets Society. Always gets me.

Ripley's death in Alien 3. For some reason that one always gets to me.

The police officer in Resevoir Dogs....ear cut off and doused in gasoline.

faust · 07-24-2003, 06:46 PM

Bishop in ALIENS where he just ripped to pieces.

hotzot · 07-24-2003, 10:53 PM

Conan the Barbarians mom getting killed by Thulsa Doom, you see him holding onto her hand, then her head drops past him out of camera shot to the ground at his feet. Her body falls sideways letting go of Conan and he stares at his hand.

djflish · 07-26-2003, 06:43 AM

I can't believe The Green Mile hasn't got a mention!
Theres the scene where one of the guards doesnt wet the sponge before the guys electricuted and he literally fries! and the scene at the end where big 'ol John Coffey has his turn in the electric chair. every time i see that i always 'get something in my eye'

one that no one has mentioned yet...
Falling Down (1992) with Michael Douglas - right before he draws the toy gun.."I'm the bad guy?"

And the Third Man with Orson Welles

darkmagex · 07-26-2003, 11:45 PM

Best death line ever. Hunt for Red October

Capt. Vasili Borodin: "I would have liked to have seen Montana."

Spocks death at the end of Kahn was pretty cool too (when you didn't know they would just bring him back).

Fagabeefe · 07-27-2003, 12:08 PM

The end of "The World According To Garp", where Koo comes back to gun down Garp in the gym...

I had nightmares about that for WEEKS.

Speed_Gibson · 07-27-2003, 12:38 PM

speaking of Star Trek....Data's death was quite a way to go as well, but the thing with the brother (Lore, isn't it?) at the end struck me as a cheap cop-out though.

Speed_Gibson · 07-27-2003, 12:40 PM

The main black guy in Romero's Night of the Living Dead is memorale as well - he goes through all that just to get shot down like one of the zombies

and one brief comment on Titantic, seeing Leonardo sink at the end was the best part of the film and ALMOST made that film bearable.

rev_skarekroe · 07-28-2003, 06:23 AM

Since everybody's already mentioned Paul Reubens in "Buffy," I'll have to go with:
Rutger Hauer in "Blade Runner"
Mr. Creosote in "Monty Python's Meaning of Life"

jumpingbeans · 07-28-2003, 06:32 AM

Not a death but in "Misery", when Kathy Bates breaks James Caan's ankles....OUCH

Nefir · 07-28-2003, 06:43 AM

Leon: The Professional

"Stansfield?"
"At your service"
"This..... is...... from................ Ma....thil...da"
He presses something into Stansfield's hand. Stansfield opens his hand. It's a grenade pin. He frantically opens the dead man's jacket. There are grenades. Lots of grenades.
"Shit"

3zos · 07-28-2003, 09:39 AM

noooo
sk beat me to it. in my opinion, one of the most poetic deaths in any film, rutger hauer in bladerunner. "time... to die."

ricky-oh has some pretty unbelievable stuff in it.
if you have access to it, "ichi the killer". japanese film, just about every death is fairly remarkable, at least by common film decency standards. be sure to see the uncut version, ill not spoil the many and varied ways in which ichi manifests destruction

Maveric · 07-28-2003, 10:20 AM

i can't remember if he actually died or not but in the movie Hannibal when Hannibal Lecter makes that asshole D.A. played by Ray Liotta eat his own brains... I assume he dies later...

Stare At The Sun · 07-28-2003, 01:52 PM

True dat on the Leon, god that movie rules.

Gibsons death in braveheart makes me misty eyed still...

and ofcourse when the boxer gets killed by brad pitt in snatch

And heroin bob in SLC punk! SUch irony..

Speed_Gibson · 07-28-2003, 07:09 PM

one of the best death scenes in a book - the end of The Running Man when he rams that plane into the building (right into the office of the guy that got him in the mess in the first place) with his intestines trailing 20 ft behind him.
That disgraceful movie destroyed the book and turned the story into a cliched action flick with a stupid happy ending.

Hackman chews up the scenery on this one. Clutching Shelly to him tightly and screaming "Not this woman!" At one point you can see a thin line of drool fall from Hackman's mouth onto Shelly's head. Classic.

Back in college I'd been up for several days without alot of sleep. I got home and was too tired to lay down, so I turned on the tv and found the Posideon Adventure playing. When it got to Winter's death scene I just started weeping. Not just crying, but full-out, tears-mixing-with-snot weeping. I'm blaming the sleep depravation.

This is horrible of me I know, but that scene had me rolling with laughter and it could be the same casue. BUt I'll offer something I find hard to believe about myself: balling when Data dies in the latest Star Trek. Thank God I was alone.

Both really good ones.

Sun Tzu · 07-29-2003, 04:35 AM

I like those scenes where a character I grow to hate gets it.

Young Guns- Billy coming back at the last moment to finish that prick off

Pulp Fiction- Bruce going to that back room and slicing the fuck out of the hillbilly

Enter the Dragon- Bruce finishing that guy off because a picks up a bottle after getting his ass kicked

Dune (both versions) Paul finishing his cousin off

LOR- Stridor chopping that Orks head off

What about the old tear jerkers

Old Yeller
THe Champ
Thats all Im going to admit to

Aye, that scene was simply...brilliant.

I'd also have to say in Reservoir Dogs, when pretty much everyone dies at the end. Great acting from Harvey Keitel.

Katyblu · 08-03-2003, 08:32 AM

Pulp Fiction- Where John Travolta gets it... no matter what never leave your gun lying there when you have to shit!

The whole beginning of Final Destination 2.... freaked me out driving by log trucks...

The lawyer in Thirteen Ghosts.... he's laughing at the ghosts then one gets out and he starts to run and gets cut in half vertically by glass.

paddyjoe · 08-03-2003, 09:11 AM

When I was quite young and saw for the first time, The Wizard of Oz. The notion of death hadn't quite invaded my psyche yet. Then to see poor innocent Dorothy douse the Wicked Witch of the West with water......

Even now I can remember how I felt as I watched her melt down to nothing but a blob on the ground. Then even more shocked as little Toto ran and pawed at her. Powerful stuff, especially for a tyke.
