Ridiculous and epic death scenes?

What are your favourite epic and ridiculous death sequences in film?


Here are some of mine... Spoilers


Meet Joe black where Brad Pitt gets hit by two cars... Ridiculous but plausible. I would love a romcom to end that way.


Big trouble in little China.. The guy who blew up into a big ball and exploded.


The lighthouse.... Winslow gets eaten by seagulls 😂 epic and ridiculous at the same time. One of my all time favourite films.


300.. Leonidas death scene...Epic and that's how I want to go.


And the most beautiful death for me is Roy Batty from Blade Runner. There's nothing unique of what caused his death but it's the way he went out and the beautiful dialogue he left behind. Rest in peace Rutger Hauer.

There’s a couple that stand out simply for its impact. *
The knifing scene in Saving Private Ryan. (Which is full of memorable deaths)
Vincennes death in L.A. Confidential
“Rollo…Tamassi….” Watch his eyes as he says that.
Blade Runner was already mentioned but that final monologue.
The Bridge of the River Kwai.
“what have I done?”
The duel in Rob Roy.
Tim Roth’s surprised face at Liam Neeson’s determination.
The freeze frame ending to Shoot First, Die Later.
“Sorry Lieutenant.”

The Death of Evil Genius in Time Bandits!

Both epic and ridiculous, Bokeem Woodbine in "Freeway". Shot by a Mexican gang, playing a "War" tune. Then driving off with that stereotypical horn honk while he bleeds out.

I struggle to think of any death scene I've gotten a better kick out of than Quentin Tarantino blowing himself up after giving possibly the worst performance of all time in Django Unchained.

Epic death

Boromir.

Epic. Definitely not ridiculous.

The end of Flesh for Frankenstein with Udo Kier hamming it up big time is a pure hoot!!

The death of Hans Gruber in Die Hard (1988).

And the very similar death of Dick Jones in Robocop (1987)!

This is the same actor who was mutated from the toxic radiation in RoboCop.
