Jack Burton(Kurt Russell) takes on Lo Pan(James Hong) at the end of Big Trouble in Little China. Jack tries to throw his knife at Lo Pan but misses. Lo Pan retrieves the knife and attempts to throw it at Jack, but as they say...."It's all in the reflexes"





Another great death take place immediately after Lo Pan's death. After Thunder(Carter Wong) sees his master's dead body, Thunder gets so pissed off he starts swelling up until he burst into pieces. Which death scene did you like better?

Shoot 'Em Up - Eat Your Vegetables


Shoot 'Em Up is basically an action packed Elmer Fudd-chases-Bugs Bunny live action cartoon. Filled with ridiculous, implausible, yet hilarious stunts throughout. In this memorable scene, a goon gets force fed his veggies when Mr. Smith(Clive Owen) jams a carrot into his mouth, then rams the carrot through his cranium. See kids, vegetables are awesome.

Alien Resurrection - Headbuster


Jean-Pierre Jeunet is a unique visual genius, so it was interesting to see him apply that talent to the Alien series. While some think it may be the weakest of the series, it's still pretty entertaining and full of creative death scenes. In this clip, Pulvis(Leland Orser) gives birth to a beautiful healthy baby alien. Only difference is he's holding Dr. Wren(J.E. Freeman) in front of him.

Throne of Blood - Washizu's Final Stand


In the spectacular ending of Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood, Washizu(Toshiro Mifune) gets his comeuppance. Shot by his own archers, he stumbles forward before being shot in the neck. He slowly descends the stairs and dies, collapsing dramatically on the fog-soaked ground. One of the most memorable and greatest deaths ever in the history of film.

  • The famous arrow scene near the end was in fact done with real arrows. That is, the arrows hitting the wooden planks were not done with special effects, but rather choreographed with archers. Mifune waves his arms to brush away the arrows sticking from the planks, indicating to them that he wanted to go in that particular direction. The real arrows were included to get Mifune's facial expressions of real-life fear, which is exceptionally hard to imitate. Of course, the arrows that hit the Mifune character were bamboo fakes.

Sully:
That's right, Matrix! You did!

Matrix: I lied

[He then drops him off the side of a mountain]
