Deep Rising - Digested Alive

---"Oh, Hai!"

Deep Rising has everything a B-grade monster movie should have: Action, bad jokes, blood, guts and gore. Sure, you've seen the plot a dozen times and yes it is basically Aliens on a Cruise ship, but jesus christ is it ever fun.

In this scene, our heroes are attacked by the giant sea creature. As they shoot the monster, it bursts open dropping a partially digested Billy on the floor. Still alive, Billy gets up and screams in horror until finally dropping to the ground and succumbing to his wounds. An awesome visual effect and a great death from a very underrated movie.

The Expendables - Death Scenes


The Expendables just reminds me of how rare a truly good action flick is in today's movie market. It makes me long for the late '80s and early '90s typified action films like Commando and Demolition Man. The action, the explosions, and of course....the death scenes. In that regard, The Expendables does not fail....

In this scene, Gunner(Dolph Lundgren) takes out a Somalian pirate with a grenade launcher, blowing off his torso and setting the tone for the rest of the film. "WARNING SHOT!"

More great death scenes from The Expendables
*videos coming soon*


When General Garza's daughter gets a visit by two soldiers looking for some of the old in-out, in-out. Barney(Sylvester Stallone) saves the day with his trusty knife, stabbing one soldier in the throat and slowly twisting the blade. Brutal.

Another great scene comes near the end when Jet Li and Jason Statham both fight our villain's secondary henchman,'The Brit'(Gary Daniels). After an extended fight, the duo end it with a double team move, finishing him off with an axe kick to the neck, breaking it instantly. The best death scene of the film.

Other notable scenes include a Randy Couture superman punch to the top of Steve Austin's head, killing him. Terry Crews blasting soldiers away with an automatic shotgun and I mean BLASTING THEM AWAY, the scene is worth the price of admission alone. WATCH IT HERE

The Collector - Bear Trap Scene


Beyond the Saw films, The Collector is one of the latest so-called "torture porn" flicks. The box office draw for this sub-genre has been steadily declining, but the gross revenue is still sometimes up to ten times the film's budget. As long as there is a profit to be made, "torture porn" will live on.

Originally intended to be a Saw prequel, The Collector has built a bit of a cult following, enough to even warrant a sequel. The movie has enough suspense, booby-traps, and gore to give Eli Roth a boner(although I don't think that would be to difficult). Even though the film was created by the writers of Saw IV, V and VI — the weakest out of the franchise, don't fret, it's better.

Did I mention the gore? Because there's gore, for example, the best death scene of the movie. As Jill and her boyfriend Chad are fooling around in the kitchen, the Collector interrupts by stabbing Chad in the hand with a knife and pushing him into a bear trap filled dining room. That's right, a room filled with bear traps.... let's just say Chad won't be fooling around with Jill anymore.......

Waxwork - Werewolf Head Split


There are certain movie monsters that stick with you throughout your childhood causing a slight fear of the dark and years of bad dreams. Linda Blair in the Exorcist has put hundreds of kids into therapy and if you look back now, she is still creepy as hell. Not so much can be said about other movie monsters.....

Take the Wolfman for example from the very underrated 1988 film Waxwork. Scared the crap out of me as a child, but when I look back at it now, it just might be one of the worst werewolf costumes ever. The Werewolf itself doesn't really look all that bad, maybe it's the lifeless eyes or the comically over-sized ears that make him look like a giant wolf-rabbit. Still.....I will take bad costumed Werewolves over bad CGI Werewolves anyday of the week, especially if they deliver the bloody goodness....

....and the Waxwork Werewolf DOES deliver. In the most impressive death scene of the movie, our victim hits the Werewolf with a chair. Not a good idea, as it only pisses him off. The wolf dusts himself off before grabbing the bastard's head and violently tearing it in half vertically.

Jurassic Park - "Clever Girl"


Remember in The Lost World, where like fifty armed mercenaries get attacked by dinosaurs? Not a single lethal round was fired. If fact, other than the beginning of the first Jurassic Park film("Shoot Her!"), not a single dinosaur is shot with a non-tranquilizer gun in the whole trilogy. What the hell Spielberg?

Take this scene for example. While hunting down the escaped raptors, Robert Muldoon, Jurassic Park's game warden, sees one hiding in the bushes. As he slowly and carefully unfolds the shotgun's stock and takes aim, a second raptor pops out from the bushes to Muldoon's left. "clever girl"

One of the few "kinda" on-screen deaths by a raptor. After the dino tackles Muldoon, you can "kinda" see through the conveniently placed palm fronds, it clamping on his head and eating it. How about next time you hurry up and "Shoot her!"

Law Abiding Citizen - Cell Phone Scene

------Hello? *SPLAT*

The best death scene from the 2009 film Law Abiding Citizen. Judge Burch's demise was the most abrupt and satisfying. But what exactly was it that killed her? IMDB's parental guide says, "A woman is shot in the head." Meaning it was a cell phone gun that killed her. A phone that fires a single bullet when a call is received. But, other sites like Cinemorgue and Wikipedia say it was a bomb that killed her. Her phone being rigged by Shelton(Gerard Butler) to explode when she answers it. Whatever the cause, she should have let it go to voicemail.

Piranha 3-D - Death Scenes


Due to Comic-con's "Family Friendly" tone, convention organizers cancelled the panel for Piranha 3-D after the 10 minute preview planned to be shown was deemed "not appropriate." Well, it's certainly befitting on this site, so here it is....

Some highlights...skip straight to the 5:10 mark, there's nothing too interesting in the first half....

5:40 - As party goers scramble to get out of the piranha infested water, an overcrowded floating concert stage tilts over, snapping a cable and whipping it in the direction of two bikini-clad girls. One of the gals(Ashlynn Brooke) is split in half à la Ghost Ship.

6:10 - As Eli Roth tries to get out of the water, a boat crashes into him, crushing his head and splattering his brains everywhere.

6:45 - A women gets her hair caught in a boat propeller, as the motor is restarted she is scalped, face included.


7:30 - a woman is split in half for no perceivable reason whatsoever.

Also a Bonus! Kelly Brook's death scene
