Hey what are your favourite/ most disturbing/most upsetting movie death scenes?
Here's a few of mine

Decapitation by side board in High Tension (Switchblade Romance)

The Rack from Saw 3

Toxic waste guy from Robocop

Murphy's death in Robocop

Spiders death in Goodfellas

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

the best was in American History X, BITE THE CURB MOTHER****ER!

no just kidding =P.

the ending of Godfather Part 3 when Michael Corleone dies.

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

Yeah also in Godfather Part 2 when Michalel has Fredo killed....you don't see it but its chilling :(

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

The guy in Sin City who gets his limbs chopped up and then eaten by his own dog was pretty sick...

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

I second that, I get goosebumps every time I see that ending scene.

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

Gandalf's death in Fellowship, especially with the Two Towers prologue added on

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

That has got to be the worst death so far...he doesn't even die!

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

but every time he looks at Frodo that one last time(but not really)
and whispers "Fly you fools!" it gets me here.

Then the OST kicks in and everybody breaks down save stoic Aragorn.

"Give them a moment for pity's sake!" -Boromir
"By nightfall these hills will be swarming with orcs!"



I do love that sequence. I really really do. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling in my soul. It gives me a soul boner.

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

Well I thought it was fairly moving in the book, but I thought the film rather overdid the 'apparent death and resurrection' thing - Aragorn gets one, Frodo gets at least one...

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

Mai got a pretty good death in Live Free or Die Hard.

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

The Wachowski brothers seem to have a thing for their characters spitting out lines and lines of monologue just moments before they die. The Wachowskis didn’t come up with this, but they’ve used it a lot lately, and it seems they don’t quite understand that you can't speak for 10 minutes if you've got steel bars coming out of you, or if you've been shot approximately 300 times.

If the director tries too hard to make me sad with someone's death, he's not going to succeed by having the character exclaim pages of larger-than-life monologue. Even if I liked the character up to that point, I feel like it would be best for the story and for my patience if the character would simply drop dead. He fought against oppressive and discriminatory government? That's cool, but I don't need to listen to your Shakespearean monologue. He fought to save the mankind? Sorry man, I respect that, but please die already.

Keeping it simple is no longer an option for some movie makers. Maybe they should check out movies like The Departed to see that they don't need to be overly dramatic to be poignant.

1. sal mineo--tragic deja vu--in rebel without a cause
2. steel magnolias- just watching a mother watch her daughter leave this earth and no words spoken ( i am probaly gonna get blasted for this)
3. my life--the whole movie
4. legends of the fall--when samuel dies and his brother stands watching helpless

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

That American History X scene haunts my dreams!

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

Although he survived it in the movie, I liked watching Kevin Kline getting pressed into the cement by the steam-roller piloted by Michael Palin in A Fish Called Wanda. But Christopher Lloyd put more horror and pathos into the same sort of death when as Judge Doom a steam-roller presses his toon-character down into the paint-remover and he gest swirled down the drain in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Of course, Kermit narrowly escaped a similar death by steam-roller when he was almost "gone with the Schwinn" in an early Muppet movie.

1) Christian bale in 310 to Yuma
2) Rob Roy the last fight when he cuts the dude down the torso

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

Wash in Serenity. I can't believe it took me so long to come up with it!

"I float like a leaf on the wind.
Watch how I soar"
I was gonna make it my signature but I couldn't find a picture of it. . . . .

When Butch shoots JT in Pulp Fiction! Unexpected much? Hell yeah!


Jason Statham in Crank deserves a nod just because his death lasts THE WHOLE FRICKIN' MOVIE! Why won't you DIE!?!


Which brings me to Robin Swallows in Austin Powers 2:The Spy who Shagged me.




Yeah Baby!

Wash's death really p!$$ed me off.
Mr. Nice-Guy saves the ship and crew after the battle and...
:(
I never even saw that one coming.

For me personally, one of the most disturbing movie deaths had to come as a kid when I saw the movie The Long Ships.

The Mare of Steel horrified me to the point of nightmares...

"Picture a three-story playground slide, only with a razor sharp steel blade jutting up where the sliding surface should be. For overkill, there's a pad of steel spikes at the bottom. The victim is escorted to the top and forced to slide down on his stomach head-first."

:eek:

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

In the solitude of my livingroom, I just watched the horrible movie, The Hostel 2. In this film there were the one of the most horrible death, when young woman actor cuts off her torturers genitals. Huh..

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

Just watched "Once Upon A Time In America" for the first time in 20 years. I still feel bad when little Dominic gets shot in the back by Bugsy.
"Noodles... I slipped!"

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

Maybe it's the age difference--I saw this movie as an adult in an Army theater, and all I could think of was that someone went to a lot of cost, time and trouble to build a giant machine for splitting a guy into, when they could have accomplished the same thing by standing him under a heavy blade and dropping it on him. In fact, the only scene sillier than the Mare of Steel was when they try to remove the building-size bell of gold, lose their grip, and it goes bounding down the cliff, dragging the chained vikings along with it, spashes into the Mediterranean--and then floats! I've always thought The Long Ships was about the worse movie ever made--I've seen better film on bad teeth! I wonder what prompted pals Richard Widmark and Sydney Portier to sign on for that disaster?

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

My choice for the worst unbelievable movie death would have to encompass virtually everyone killed in Saving Pvt. Ryan--especially the officer's prolonged "don't waste this" demise. The one exception is the hand-to-hand knife fight with the downed American begging "no, no" and the German saying (in German) "sleep, sleep" as the knife blade slides in. Now that was authentic and disturbing.

The other cliché bad movie death is the Hollywood actress death scene in which she gets prettier and prettier as she succumbs to a lingering disease--as in Love Story and Camellia. Victims of lingering disease look like the aids victims in Philadelphia.

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

Are you familiar with the movie Turistas? That movie for me is creepy they take the humans inner organs to sell in hospitals and the death of their victims was really horrible.:sick:

Well the title is best (worst) movie deaths and character's deaths can be a major ending to a movie. Enter with caution next time.

Oh.... that's terrible! Of course at my age I thought everyone had seen the Godfather at least once by now... Don't worry, it's still worth watching ;)

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

If the title said spoilers i might of enterd with caution, but guess what? It didn't. Thats why there is someting called a spoiler tag.

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

I'm just saying, a character's death is normally a huge part of the movie, and sometimes ends the movie. Spoiler tags are mainly used for new releases, not an 18 year old movie that's a threequel to arguably the most respected movie ever, in which the ending is pretty common knowledge. But hey, thanks for the negative rep anyway.

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

Yoda, can you edit the title so it can spoilers? You can be Cpt. Obvious for once.

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

Best Death Scenes

Braveheart

Raiders of the Lost ark is amazing as far as death scenes

Obiwan getting killed by Darth Vader

Fatal Attraction when you think shes dead she gets up to attack him and then his wife shoots her.

The guy who falls into the helicopter blades in The Last Boyscout.

When Willem Dafoe dies in platoon . That is just tragic.

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

Willem DaFoe in "Platoon"
Richard Dreyfuss in "Always" (beautifully subtle)
Paul Newman in "Cool Hand Luke"
James Cosmo in "Braveheart"
David Warner in "The Omen"
Al Pacino in "Scarface"


But the BEST one ever........
Janet Leigh in "Psycho"

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

i'm never coming in this thread again! spoilers please!

Re: Best (Worst) Movie Deaths
 

The only death scene that I have ever had to look away from was in Saw IV, where the woman was having her scalp ripped off by her hair. I don't know why this bothered me so much, considering I'm completely bald and know that this could never happen to me.

(spoiler, duh)

The Human Centipede. Pretty sure getting blood poisoning after having your mouth surgically attached to someone else's anus is the absolute worst way to go.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST SPOILER BELOW!!!!





When Fonda finds out why he's just been killed at the moment of death. Most excellent karma, and milked perfectly by Sergio Leone.

And the award for worst special effects, but funniest death scene ever goes to:
