    What, do you think, is the best bad guy death in a movie ??

    Saw True Lies last week.... Art Malik on the front of a missile when its being fired....

    How about Michael Wincott's death at the end of The Crow? (Speared on a steeple).

    Robert Patrick in T2 ?

    The shark in Jaws ?? :)

    Anyone got any personal favourites?

    - Dave.

    Grosse Point Blank.

    Dan ankroyd getting nailed with a tv on his head by Martin Blank. Actually there where some cool deaths/assasinations in that movie. Maybe stabbing the guy with the pen also rocked.

    I too was very impressed.

    My contribution would be this one in the first Robocop movie.
    One of the baddies drove a van into a big tank of acid, he then fell out the back with his skin dripping off his bones only to be struck by a car whereby he disintegrated, anyone remember that ?

    scarface when your man has a runn in with the chainsaw its pretty gruesome.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,975 ✭✭✭Oeneus


    The Classic Death. The first death in the film ALIEN. When Kane (John Hurt) has the ALIEN burst out of his chest at the dinner table, the alien looks around, squeals, and then runs off.

    You just sort of sit there in silence for 10 minutes thinking "What the **** happened then?"

    So scary, Yet humourous!! So SO Classic!

    In Scanners, when Michael Ironside (I think), blew that other guys head up. Maybe not the best of all time, but it gave me a laugh when I saw it first.

    Time to die, classic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,126 ✭✭✭][cEMAN**


    Hmmmm most emotional maybe from Boyz in the Hood

    Best actual death scene Hmmmm a tough one........

    OK i'm sorry but for sheer numbers i'm gong to have to go with the opening scene from Saving private ryan.

    That actually had old war veterans having flashbacks and panick attacks. I mean that kinda reaction is better than any ****ing latex puppet popping outta some guys chest y'know.

    Best movie death? Simple.

    Steve Buscemi head-first into a woodchipper in Fargo.

    (Okay, he was probably already dead, but it's cool nonetheless!!!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 437 ✭✭Spunj


    Movie : I'm Gonna Git You Sucka
    Death: Lots of folks OGing. That is death by gold chains, sold to them by the lackeys of the local gold lord, Mr. Big. Basically you wear one too many and can't get up off the ground :)

    I had forgoten how powerful that scene was.
    Still makes my jaw hurt just thinking about it.
    Good call.

    The most graphic death I think I've seen because it was so real was Joe Pesci watching his brother get beaten to death by three baseball bats then falling victim to the same fate in Casino. Savage!
