TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 Everyone loves great death scenes. So which are you favorites? My Top 10(in order) 1. Tony Montana says "Ello" to Sosa's army, Scarface - Was there any doubt? If only for the sheer number of quotable lines and ofcourse for Tony's coolness. 2. The Wild Bunch's last stand, The Wild Bunch - 4 guys go to war with the Mexican army. Insane body count and a true way to exit for 4 outlaws. 3. The Best Mexican Stand Off ever filmed, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly - This is THE cinematic stand off. Eyes, gun, hand. Eyes, gun, hand. And so it goes until all three draw and quick shots go out, Lee Van Cleef falls dead, no slo mo bullshit. Classic. 4. The Best Non-Mexican Stand Off ever, Reservoir Dogs - The best stand-off ever in a non-Western. White, Joe and Eddie, guns drawn. Then the quick shots leaving both Joe & Eddie dead with White barely alive. 5. "Aww fuck I shot Marvin in the face", Pulp Fiction - Nothing's funnier than Marvin accidentally getitng his head blown off and Travolta's reaction to it. Priceless. 6. Eva Mendes trades her life for Johnny Depp's eyes, Once Upon a Time in Mexico - Recent I know but I absolutely love this scene. After eva set Depp up getting his eyes cut out she lifts up his seemingly lifeless body: Eva: Like what you see? *Gun shot* Depp: No I don't. Eva falls dead and Depp falls from his wounds. 7. Hackman doesn't deserve it, Eastwood doesn't care, Unforgiven - A wonderful movie and just a brilliant scene: Hackman: I don't deserve this, I was building a house... Eastwood: Deserve's got nothing to do with it. Amen. 8. Diplomatic Immunity Gets Revoked, Lethal Weapon 2 - Riggs is down, shot numerous times. Just when he's about to die Murtaugh points his gun at the villain. The villain uses his diplomatic immunity thinking it'll save him...Murtaught revokes it with a bullett to the head. 9. Here comes the Bride, There goes Vernita Green, Kill Bill - Vernita's death was just so unexpected I loved it. Pure adrenaline courtesy of QT. 10. See Ya Sonny, Godfather - Sonny goes to make a phone call...about 200 bullets later he's phoning off to the after life. See ya later Sonny. So what are you favorite deaths?
the max Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 Young Guns II death scene of Doc. Truth or Consequences, N.M., with Raymond protecting Marcus from mob goon #4, but getting killed.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted October 12, 2003 Author Report Posted October 12, 2003 BTW Max Power AWESOME sig because it speaks the truth.
Nevermortal Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 SPOILERIFFIC~~!~!~!! Anyway.... Spoiler (Highlight to Read): The courtroom scene in The Boondock Saints when Yakavetta is getting what he deserves by the 3 guns, right to the head. In nomine patris, et fili, et spiritus sancti.
Steve J. Rogers Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 Not favorite because of what it was, but more for the furor it caused, but Maculay Culkin in "My Girl" I mean groups were up in arms about how much kids would be tramatized by seeing "Kevin from Home Alone" lying dead by bee stings (kind of a funny way to go out and in a coffin. Geez, thank God Culkin didn't make "The Good Son" as his follow up to Home Alone as you not only see him get tossed off a cliff but be a miserable, evil bastard child. Other good ones, Got to go with Sonny but Solozo and McClosky's scene was a great one in Godfather, and so begins the downfall of Michael Corleone. In Part II when Vito slices up the Don who murdered his brother and mother was quite classic, as well as Fredo's final "Hail Mary" with Michael watching on Actually Vito and Michael have great death scenes as well. Probably more disturbing for Michael's being utterly alone when he expires Greg Kinear in "Mystery Men" also ranks as a funny one Going out in a blaze of glory deaths would be Bonnie and Clyde, Butch and Sundance, Thelma and Louise and of course Jimmy Cagney in White Heat "MADE IT MA! TOP OF THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDD!" Joe Peci's Tommy in Goodfellas was classic, you saw it coming but it still gets you as a classic way of going out Steve
razazteca Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 Hard Boiled when Chow Yun Fat is chasing the bad guy to the kitchen with shit flying everywhere he gets flour on his face so eventually he manages to catch the guy and shoots him point blank and gets blood splatted on his face. Great use of blood!
godthedog Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 the '5 familes' death/baptism montage in 'the godfather'. jean-paul belmondo blowing himself up in 'pierrot le fou'. orson welles floating away in 'touch of evil'. bill macy in 'boogie nights'. e.t. (although i don't know if that should really count, since he came back to life)
DangerousDamon Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 issac hays in ''i'm gonna git you sucka'' he gets shot up like a hundred times by his own guns after he slips on his own bullets. rick from friday the 13th 3-d flying eyeballs for everyone. the girl who gets her head twisted off in jason lives. the girl that gets her head dented into the rv in jason lives. the sleeping bag scene from jason x jim belushi in gang related. he's sitting in a limo and some dude turns around, shoots him in the head and his hat goes flying out the back window. sam jackson from deep blue sea. hilarity ensues after sam tries to give a big speech but ends getting split up for lunch by two sharks. so many classic deaths
{''({o..o})''} Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 The head smashing scene from Story of Ricky always cracks up all my friends whenever we see it.
SinToxic Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 All the death scenes from Battle Royale. If you havent seen it, here's little bit about it: A class of 30+ japanese students are taken to an island and are forced to kill each other off until there is only one person left. The choice of weapons ranges from kitchen pans to shotguns ... bloody from start to finish.
razazteca Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 issac hays in ''i'm gonna git you sucka'' he gets shot up like a hundred times by his own guns after he slips on his own bullets. Good one but nothing brings the funny more than "You have 2 options to leave either though the window or the down stairs"
Beast Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 I also gotta give the love to the Godfather films. I love all the ones mentioned especiallly Sonny's and Fredo's. Fredo's Hail Mary's do make it that much more tragic, along with the greatest scene ever. "You broke my heart". Not all showed the actually deaths but every murder in Se7en pretty much rules all. Then there are two I love because they are so beautifully sad. Dead Poet's Society's suicide along with Ethan Hawke running out into the snow in tears. Then Empire of the Sun with Christian Bale's japanese friend getting shot by Malkovich and his buddies because they think that Bale is getting attacked. Gotta hold back the tears on that one.
HarleyQuinn Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 The first death scene in Suspiria, a little corny but still neat nonetheless
Toshiaki Koala Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 1) Sean Bean - GoldenEye Best scene in any Bond film, though the antenna falling on him was overkill 2) Gene Hackman - Unforgiven Someone metioned this already, but I'll quote the whole thing: "I don't deserve this - to die like this. I was building a house!" "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it." "I'll see you in hell, William Munny." "Yeah." (Blows his head off) 3) Robert Duvall - Lonesome Dove Took every ounce of strength to keep the tears from flowing. 4) Alan Rickman - Die Hard "Happy trails, Hans." So good they used it as a flashback in DH3 5) Yaphet Kotto - Live and Let Die Funniest death ever put on film. 6) Dennis Hopper - Speed Not really much to say about it, great scene though. 7) Michael Ironside - Totall Recall Ouch! 8) Billy Drago in The Untouchables Perfect build-up. 9) Robert DeNiro - Heat Really moving scene, especially with the music. 10) Peter Weller - RoboCop Truly painful to watch, don't even want to think about the director's cut. 11)Tcheky Karyo - Kiss of the Dragon Buckets of blood. Yay! 12)Tex Cobb - Raising Arizona The look on his face was classic.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted October 12, 2003 Author Report Posted October 12, 2003 "1) Sean Bean - GoldenEye Best scene in any Bond film, though the antenna falling on him was overkill" I love the dialogue here: Trevelyan: For England James? 007: No...for ME!
Zorin Industries Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 issac hays in ''i'm gonna git you sucka'' he gets shot up like a hundred times by his own guns after he slips on his own bullets. Dosen't die from it though
BlackFlagg Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 the REAL Sleeping bag scene from Friday the 13th 7, though the Jason X version was funny as the holographic chicks kept laughing as he beat them over and over....and over. Liquid Nitro head smash from Jason X Bus Death from Final Destination, just one of those deaths that come out of nowhere and you just sit and stare at the screen for about five minutes then...laugh your ass off, heh. Said already but Samuel L. from Deep Blue Sea, just didn't see it coming. He was giving a huge speech ended it with "First thing we gotta do is cover this whole!" Shark pops out and bites him in half, another OMFG scene, heh. Reservoir Dogs stand off, as mentioned. Gene Hackman in Unforgiven, just watched it the other day, such a great scene. Curbing from American History X, makes me cringe everytime I see it. I'm half asleep right now so I'll come back with more later, heh
Guest Dmann2000 Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 Nicky Santoro in "Casino" Joe Morton in "T2"- "I don't know...how much longer..I can hold this thing.." Kevin Spacey in "L.A. Confidential" Funny one is that rube in "Starship Troopers" who gets his head blown off during training by Casper Van Diem.
Toshiaki Koala Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 Another good one from Die Hard. HANS: I am going to count to three. There will not be a four. One, two, th- TAKAGI: I don't know anything! You'll just have to kill me... HANS: Okay. (Shoots him in the head)
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 when Indiana Jones shoots the sword Weilding maniac. It's classic.
Kahran Ramsus Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 Put me down for Sonny Corleone, but I also love the death of Rene Belloq and the Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
DangerousDamon Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 issac hays in ''i'm gonna git you sucka'' he gets shot up like a hundred times by his own guns after he slips on his own bullets. Dosen't die from it though uh yea he does.
Guest Askewniverse Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.
cabbageboy Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 First off, Isaac Hayes DOES NOT die in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. Bernie Casey clearly states later than the bullets missed every vital organ and he would be ok. I've seen that movie about 1000 times. To me, death scenes begin and end with Cagney: --The legendary "top of the world!" ending to White Heat. --His chilling phony coward act as he goes to the chair in Angels With Dirty Faces. --Dying on the church steps at the end of the Roaring Twenties. --Not exactly ONE scene but I like how he shoots everyone in the Public Enemy and comes out riddled with bullets..."I ain't so tough...." then falls down in the gutter. Next scene they deliver his dead body to his front door and his brother opens it.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted October 13, 2003 Author Report Posted October 13, 2003 Some more from me: Vincent Vega's death in Pulp Fiction - I didn't want him to die but it was cool as hell seeing him get blown away. Arnie "lies" to Sully in Commando - "You promised to kill me last..." "I lied!" Bye bye Sully. Spacey's Masterpiece is completed in Se7en - Just the silent beauty of watching Spacey close his eyes knowing he has won.
treble Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 Bus Death from Final Destination, just one of those deaths that come out of nowhere and you just sit and stare at the screen for about five minutes then...laugh your ass off, heh. Yeah, that one, plus Seann William Scott's decapitation scene in the same movie.
the pinjockey Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 "Put your mouth on the fucking curb!" - American History X Jason X Sleeping bag scene Marty's football death in Not Another Teen Movie (talk about an out of nowhere death)
NoCalMike Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 The entire taking of the kingpin's house in A Better Tomorrow 2 The crotch darts and the death of the stripper by way of bucket-o-acid in "Fudoh" The creation of pinhead in Hellraiser The Classic Chainsaw scene in Scarface
Vern Gagne Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 The movie name escapes me. But the scene when the guy point blank shoots the little girl holding an ice cream cone in the head. Movie scenes don't leave me speechless that one did.
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 Andy Garcia - Black Rain Lawrence Tierney, Chris Penn, Harvey Keitel (Although, he comes to) - Reservoir Dogs Joe Pesci - Casino (Always one of my favorites) Joe Pesci - Goodfellas Morris Chestnut - Boyz N The Hood (More sad than anything) Sofia Coppola - The Godfather Part III (I thought it was great for some reason) Robert DeNiro - Heat Al Pacino - Scarface Al Pacino - The Godfather Part III Everybody in Glory Edward Furlong - American History X (It was so unexpected. I know everybody didn't expect a big happy ending, but I figured it'd be Norton) Also, I always liked Fredo Corleone's death for some strange reason. The actor's name escapes me.
