Platoon - Sgt. Elias death

After being wounded and left for dead by Staff Sergeant Barnes(Tom Berenger). Elias(Willem Dafoe) emerges from the jungle, running from a large group of NVA soldiers. Thinking that Sgt. Elias Grodin had already been killed in action, the platoon can only watch from the chopper as he is shot repeatedly by Viet Cong troops.

The famous scene depicting Elias with his hands in the air is a recreation of a 1968 photograph by Art Greenspon

King Kong - The Fall of Kong

A classic, the death of King Kong. The military dispatches Helldiver biplanes to destroy Kong atop the Empire State Building. The ape gently sets Ann down on the observation deck and tries to fend off the attackers. He manages to swat one plane down, but in the end he is mortally wounded by machine-gun fire and plummets to his death in the street below. We then learn it 'twas beauty killed the beast and not the 102-story drop.
