Don't you just hate it when the bad guy has the hero in his sights, but instead of killing him immediately he rambles on about his plans for world domination? It just may be the biggest movie cliche ever and Sergio Leone knew it....

The Expendables - Shotgun Rampage
---"Remember this shit at Christmas!"
This scene from The Expendables just might put a little extra hair on your chest. Outnumbered and overpowered, our team of heroes retreat and take cover from enemy fire. Just when you think the boys might be in trouble, Caesar(Terry Crews) enters with an AA-12 Shotgun and starts blasting away. The gun is loud and powerful, turning Garza's Soldiers into hamburger meat in less than a minute. The best part is seeing "Stone Cold" Steve Austin running away after he looks down the hallway and sees Caesar blasting through soldiers.

Dirty Harry - Unlucky Punk
Bad guy Scorpio(Andrew Robinson) takes a young boy hostage in a last attempt to escape. Harry(Clint Eastwood) pretends to be willing to surrender, then shoots Scorpio in the shoulder, knocking him to the ground. The boy escapes and Scorpio looks up to see Harry standing over him, gun drawn he recites his famous speech.
I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking "did he fire six shots or only five?" Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?
Unlike the bank robber in the earlier scene, Scorpio tries his luck and, laughing maniacally, grabs for his gun. Before he can fire, Harry blasts him in the chest, propelling Scorpio into the water.

Inglourious Basterds- Hitler's Death
Did you really expect the Basterds to fail their mission just so Hitler can kill himself in a bunker with Eva Braun? Not in Tarantino's world. In Tarantino's world, Hitler was brutally gunned down in that theater. Quentin Tarantino fulfills historical fantasy by giving Adolf the final exit he so rightfully deserved. During the assassination attempt in the theater, Donny aka "The Bear Jew" and Omar gun Hitler and Goebbels down in the opera box. The money shot comes soon after when Donny(Eli Roth) unloads a whole clip into Adolf, blasting his face into pieces and we learn that movies are so empowering they can even alter history.

Pulp Fiction - Vincent Vega's Death
-----Uh Oh...
It seems like every time Vincent Vega goes to the bathroom something bad happens. An armed robbery at the diner while Vincent is in the bathroom. Mia mistakes his heroin for cocaine, snorts it, and overdoses while Vincent is in the bathroom. But it was during a stakeout at Butch’s apartment, that Butch kills Vincent with a Czech M61 submachine gun after Vincent comes out of, you guessed it.....the bathroom.
The real question is....would Butch have killed Vincent if he didn't make the Pop-Tarts?

Layer Cake - Ending

SPOILER ALERT!!! GO WATCH THIS MOVIE FIRST, THEN COME BACK
Our nameless main character finally made it to the top. He only made one mistake, he stole someone's girlfriend. As the narration ends and it becomes "present time", rule #1 comes back to bite him. Don't mess with another man's girl. You don't get to see good unexpected endings like this much in Hollywood anymore.
You're born, you take shit, move up, take less shit. There will always be a successor. Welcome to the Layer Cake.

Top 3 Deaths We Never See
The death scene is a time honored tradition of the movies. Except this list isn't celebrating the art of dismembered limbs and exploding craniums. The following movie deaths are so iconic that they don't even have to be shown. Here are the top 3 off screen death scenes.
3. Thelma & Louise - The car drives over the edge of the canyon and film ends with a freeze frame of the car in mid-air. We never see girls crash into the rocks below, but we don't need to. Would've been epic though.
2. Fargo - Carl played by Steve Buscemi, is murdered by Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stormare) with an axe, but the screen cuts to black right before the magic happens. It’s more Carl’s messy ‘burial’ involving a wood-chipper that is the trademark of this film more than his death. 
1. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - Butch (Paul Newman) and Sundance (Robert Redford) both wounded and surrounded by 100 soldiers of the Bolivian cavalry, burst through the door to face an essential firing squad. The film ends with a freeze frame sepia tone shot of the pair exiting the house firing their guns, accompanied by the sound of dozens of rifles being fired. It’s not only one of the most compelling death scenes, but one of the most iconic moments in cinema history.

Pan's Labyrith - He Wont Even Know Your Name

Sergi López doesn't get enough credit for his role as Captain Vidal in the 2006 film Pan's Labyrinth. He plays one of the most evil characters ever, a psychopath that makes us hate him so much, you start cheering during his death scene. And what a death scene it is. After Vidal finds Ofelia, he takes the baby and shoots her in the stomach. Ohhhh, that bastard. When Vidal leaves the Labyrinth, the rebels and Mercedes are waiting for him. He calmly hands Mercedes the baby and starts to request that they tell his son what time his father died. "NO", she cuts him off and says "He wont even know your name." BAM! Take that asshole!
