The Tripper - Reagan with a Chainsaw

The Tripper is a throwback to the old school slasher flicks of the 70's, full of horror clichés and buckets of red paint. The movie is about a psychopath in a Ronald Reagan mask who has a strong dislike for dirty hippies. Our psycho killer is in luck because the "Free Love Festival" is in town, a dirty hippie haven. There are a few off-screen deaths that would’ve been nice to see, but the best scene goes to the demise of Paul Reubens. Bisected vertically with a chainsaw by our Ronald Reagan killer.


Check out this great promotional poster for the movie, the release date of the film was on April 20, or 4/20.

Machete - Triple Decapitation

Not since Friday the 13th: Part VI: Jason Lives have we seen a TRIPLE decapitation. But when Machete is surrounded by a group of thugs, he performs a deadly spin attack, slicing all three of their heads clean off.

Hobo with a Shotgun - Red Band Trailer

It's actually happening, my dreams are coming true. Hobo with a Shotgun is currently being made into a full-length feature film and Rutger Hauer is playing the Hobo with a Shotgun. The original fake trailer from Grindhouse was released mainly in Canada, so American audiences missed out. Judging from the Red Band Trailer, the film doesn't hold back on the movie deaths. But there was one scene that caught my attention. At 1:38 we see a man decapitated when a truck pulls a rope attached to razor wire wrapped around his neck. The man is Robb Wells, better known as Ricky from the comedy TV series Trailer Park Boys....

Mike Jackson, best known for his role as Trevor in Trailer Park Boys is in the original Hobo with a Shotgun trailer.

Caché - An Abrupt End

Sometimes a movie will come along that will make you think, then there's Caché, a movie that will drive you fucking nuts. The director, Michael Haneke, deliberately confuses the audience by not resolving the story. Instead, he ends the film with a long static shot that leaves the viewer searching for answers. No.....literally rewinding the movie and searching for answers. Haneke is known to be a critic of "mainstream cinema", especially the way it always has a simple and superficial solution to complex problems. Haneke also uses graphic-shocking-violent scenes to jolt the audience when they least expect it. Much like this clip from Caché.....

Majid invites our protagonist to his home and states he wants Georges to be present for what follows.....

bonus points for the gurgling noises....

GoldenEye - "I am Invincible!"

Another great Bond death from a list of many. GoldenEye also gave us the fall of Alec Trevelyan and Xenia Onatopp putting the squeeze on the happiest man in the world. But the death of the most epic nerd of all time tops them all....

Boris Grishenko is an overly confident hacker that often shouts his favorite catchphrase, "I am invincible!" whenever he succeeds. After emerging from the destruction of the satellite control room, Boris shouts his catchphrase. "I am Invincible!" Suddenly, a tank of liquid nitrogen explodes behind him, freezing him instantly. And we learn that Boris wasn't invincible after all.

Can't wait till the GoldenEye remake comes out for the Wii on November 2nd.
Goldeneye Wii.

The New York Ripper - No Ordinary Headshot

Headshots have become so cliché, there I said it. Why does every headshot have to be in the middle of the forehead as if every shooter in the movies is a skilled marksman? And now with visual effects, all you need Adobe After Effects and a couple clicks of the mouse. Sure, it's still entertaining as hell, but where's the realism? Give me Martin Scorsese's headshot in Taxi Driver over the headshots in The Departed any day of the week. Take this scene from Lucio Fulci's The New York Ripper for example of how it's done right, a headshot that would make Dario Argento jealous.

Repo Men - Head Crush

A repo man comes for Remy, but falls through a covered hole in the floor. The ground then starts to crumble, as Beth also falls below. As the repo man comes to and prepares to shoot Beth, Remy grabs an old heavy typewriter and drops it on his head, crushing it. (with very bloody results)

Machete - Gut and Run

A group of thugs enter a hospital where Machete is recovering from a wound. As the nurse calls to warn our hero that the men are on their way, Machete grabs a few hospital instruments and proceeds to dispatch the henchmen one by one. Slashing two thugs in the face and for the coup de grâce, Machete cuts open a guy's stomach with a skull scraper and pulls out his small intestine. He then uses the intestine as a rope to leap out of a window and crash into the floor below.
