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.

License to Kill - Henchman gets Decompressed

License to Kill manages to deviate itself from the previous Bond films and give us a few surprises. One being the villain, Franz Sanchez. He has no interest in global political domination, he just wants to get filthy rich selling his cocaine. Sanchez is also one of the few Bond villains that actually look like they can kick Bond's ass in a fistfight and have the balls-or should I say "cojones"- to do it.

License to Kill also had a darker tone where the death scenes were just more brutal and violent. In this clip, Bond manages to frame one of Sanchez's henchmen, making him appear disloyal. Sanchez loses it and throws Krest into a hyperbaric chamber. Sanchez increases the pressure inside the chamber to a critical point, then tears the air tube open with an axe causing rapid decompression. Krest's head expands then explodes in a bloody mess, splattering his brains all over the door window.

Krest is the first henchmen to be killed by his boss due to Bond's crafty scheming rather than directly by Bond himself. Tricky bastard.

Predator - Mac's Death

Mac brings a certain level of intensity and emotional impact to the film. The supercool badass whispers every line and works his razor to death. Mac has the most depth than any of the others characters in the film. After Blain's death, he loses it and from that moment on he made it his own mission to kill what killed his best friend. From chasing the predator through the jungle singing Long Tall Sally to unloading "Ol' Painless" and leveling a good portion of the jungle. Mac might be the most underrated character in the film. Mac might also have the best death scene of the bunch. As Mac crawls under the log in hunt of the Predator, he spots three red dots on his arm. As Mac pokes his head out of his hiding spot, we get a camera shot directly behind his head before the Predator fires a plasma round and splatters his brains all over the camera lens. Classic!

Akira - Death by Psychokinetic Powers

Overwhelmed by his newfound abilities and confronted by his captors, Tetsuo uses his powers to escape. With a single thought the Doctor and guard explode into pieces, as body matter splatters on the wall and ceiling. Classic! This film was way ahead of its time.
SCENE AT 3:50

District 9 - Mumbo's Death (Death by MECH)

If you haven't seen District 9, well you missed out. Not just on a great movie, but some great movie deaths too. In the film, the aliens build weapons and "sell them" to the Nigerians, led by bad guy Mumbo. These are some of the coolest weapons in any film you'll see and we get to see first-hand what these weapons really do. Throughout the film various people are zapped with alien weaponry that results with them exploding in a shower of blood and guts. In this clip we see one of the less violent guns in action. Not sure if it's emitting a powerful blast of sound or just pure energy, but clears a room pretty quick.

Out of all the death scenes, none of them were as satisfying as Mumbo's. After the Nigerians capture Wikus, Christopher's son activates several systems in the mothership, including my favorite, a mechanized battle suit. After slaughtering all of Mumbo's men, the MECH fires an explosive charge into his head, after a slight pause it explodes, splattering his brains all over the camera lens.

The Last House on the Left - Microwave Safe

SPOILER ALERT!!! As you should know by now, this whole site is based on spoilers, SPOILER ALERT!!!
Krug wakes up to find himself paralyzed from the neck down and his head inside a microwave. This is the final scene from The Last House on the Left remake, a totally unnecessary remake, but what else is new in today's American cinema. At least the death scenes do some justice, observe.......

Running Man - Chico crosses the line

Nothing like a classic head explosion done right

Chopping Mall - The Exploding Head Gone Wrong

The "exploding head" has evolved over the years. Done best in the 1981 movie Scanners, many question arise when trying to create the scene. Why would someones head blow up in the first place? Would it blow up into pieces or big chunks? How much blood do you use? In this scene from Chopping Mall (1986) we show you how it can go terribly wrong and cheesy. When someones head blows up, it's not supposed to look like a exploding pinata. With a little bit more blood and guts this could have been much better. Sure, this is The Greatest Movie Deaths of All Time, but we also like to explore those not-so-great cinematic demises. movie, movie, movie, movies, movies
