Best movie deaths ever

Monday, July 20, 2009
Kill some time with our bloodiest list yet.

Mass murder
Slaughter on an epic scale

Kill Bill Vol. 1
The scene:
Uma Thurman slices and dices her way through a Japanese gang.
Killer line: If there is one, it’s lost in a sea of 1700L of fake blood.
Gore factor: Ridiculous yet realistic. Decapitations, bulk limb-chopping and an eye removal.

Ghost Ship
The scene:
A pesky wire bisects a crowded dancefloor, then their tops slowly slide off their bottoms.
Killer line: The fishing-line wire is the killer line here. Originally, everyone was supposed to be beheaded but the studio went with this instead.
Gore factor: Severe severings of posh wankers.

Finding Nemo
The scene:
The genocide of Nemo’s baby siblings at the start. Heart-wrenching stuff.
Killer line: Anyone for sushi?
Gore factor: It’ll only affect you if you’re a member of PETA.

Brain Dead
The scene:
Death by Victa in an upside-down lawnmower zombie massacre. Killer line: “Party’s over.” Gore factor: Holds the record as “the bloodiest film ever”, with over 2000L of fake blood used. This four-minute scene alone used 300L.

Crap kills
These are the ones better off dead

Terminator 2
The scene:
After an epic robot fight, Arnie descends into molten heaven with a lame thumbs up.
Killer line: “Hasta la vista, baby” was subsequently overkilled by movie nerds everywhere.
Gore factor: Arnie melts but his acting’s so robotic you don’t feel much sympathy for him.

Heat
The scene:
After a lengthy chase, Al Pacino’s livewire cop drops Robert De Niro’s master crim in a field.
Killer line: Overall, Pacino out-yells and out-guns De Niro.
Gore factor: Shit all. Just some gunshot wounds and a kinda awkward man-embrace afterwards.

Rocky 4
The scene:
Following his bout with Apollo Creed, meathead Dolph Lundgren says, “If he dies, he dies.”Which he does. Top foreshadowing.
Killer line: “I cannot be defeated. I beat all man. Someday, I will beat a real champion.”
Gore factor: Just a flurry of Commie punches.

Reservoir Dogs
The scene:
Tim Roth, who spends the entire movie bleeding and whining, is finally put out of his misery by Harvey Keitel.
Killer line: “Your not gonna f–kin’ die!” – Spoken earlier, ironically, by Keitel.
Gore factor: Bloody. Stylish. Wanky. And that's just the blokes suits.

Dead funny
It’s all fun and games – even when someone gets hurt

Dumb and Dumber
The scene:
Jim Carrey rips the heart out of a karate-chopping Chinese chef and places it in a doggy bag.
Killer line: Carrey just makes a bunch of constipated-sounding kung-fu noises. What a comic genius.
Gore factor: Nowhere near as heavy as Jeff Daniels’ diarrhoea scene.

Big Trouble in Little China
The scene:
Fat Asian baddie explodes, redecorating the room with his insides.
Killer line: Referring to the bodily expansion, a bloke called Wang says, “I don’t think he’s gonna stop.”
Gore factor: Should put you off your Chinese takeaway.

Pulp Fiction
The scene:
John Travolta accidentally blows out the brains of a dude called Marvin all over the back seat.
Killer line: The initial stunned silence is the real killer. Marv was supposed to get shot twice but Tarantino thought once would be funnier. Nerdy f–k was right.
Gore factor: Fairly splattery.

Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life
The scene:
Graham Chapman chooses his method of execution – being chased by topless women off a cliff.
Killer line: Nothing’s said, but funnily enough, Chapman was the only gay member of Monty Python.
Gore factor: Zero. Heaps of ’80s titties, but.

in a HK movie called 'story of ricky oh', some bad dudes tie him up then stuff razor blades into his mouth, then masking tape over his mouth, then punch him in the face a bunch of times! u see him swallowing some blades, others puncture his cheeks and he doesnt die! wat a maddog! in the same movie at the end, Ricky feeds the bad dude (who has turned into a hulk-esque monster, for no apparent reason) into a meat grinder from the feet up, all the while pushing him down! awesome movie
