I Saw the Devil - Car Stabbing Scene



If you haven’t seen I Saw The Devil yet, stop whatever you’re doing and go watch it(after reading this post of course). The movie is simply amazing. The film stars two of Korea’s most successful actors, Choi Min-sik and Lee Byung-hun, stars of the aforementioned films Oldboy and A Bittersweet Life respectively. The movie is directed by Kim Ji-woon and his resume speaks for itself: A Tale of Two Sisters, The Good, the Bad, the Weird, The Quiet Family, and The Foul King. The movie is a breath of fresh air from the predictable rehashes of Hollywood films. Do yourself a favor and watch it. This is probably one of the coolest scenes in the film, our antagonist turns a couple guys into human pin cushions.

Ricochet - Blake Get's the Point


Ahh the early 90's, such a great time for action movies. Total Recall, Terminator 2, Hard Boiled, Die Hard 2, Universal Soldier, Cliffhanger, Demolition Man, Under Siege, Speed, and many more. The heroes, the one-liners, and of course......the Movie Deaths. Some are etched into action movie history while others are forgotten, never to be heard of again. Ricochet is one of those films.....

The film stars Denzel Washington as Nicholas Styles, a Los Angeles attorney who puts a vicious killer, Earl Talbot Blake (John Lithgow) in prison when he was previously a cop. Blake has now escaped and is out for revenge.

The film is violent, over the top, and sometimes just downright hilarious(click HERE to watch all the hilarious one-liners)...Washington does a great job as usual, but John Lithgow steals the show here as he puts on a great performance as a ruthless psychotic killer. This film is an absolutely excellent popcorn action thriller that should not be forgotten.

In this clip, our hero and villain fight atop the Watts Towers. As Blake gets the upper hand, Styles' childhood friend Odessa (Ice-T) appears and connects electrical mains to the metal tower, electrifying Blake and sending him off the tower. Blake falls and lands on a protruding spike, impaling and killing him. Followed by another classic one-liner.

Universal Soldier - Discharged


The final fight between Luc Devereaux(Jean-Claude Van Damme) and Sergeant Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren) in the 1992 film Universal Soldier. The fight basically starts out like the first round in Rocky IV, a complete Ivan Drago ass kicking. That is until Devereaux injects himself with a "muscle enhancer" and goes...well Van Damme on him. His roid rage rampage on Lundgren's face gets to the point of ridiculousness until he kicks him through the barn, revealing the giant hay harvester in the background. After about five more kicks, Devereaux gives Scott the final blow, sending him flying into the spikes of the harvester. Ah, he must be dead. NOPE, he grabs Devereaux's head and tries to impale it on one of the spikes in a desperate last attempt. After a short struggle, Devereaux snaps Scott's arm and hits the switch on the harvester. The machine turns on and grinds the Sergeant's body into pieces. WATCH IT HERE

Cobra - Off the Hook


It isn't politically correct, it's unrealistic, and sometimes just downright ridiculous. And you know what? It's the perfect 80's action film. It wets the appetite of those who crave a juicy manburger over the salad. A violent, explosive, and entertaining film, Cobra is pure 80's action. From Sly's comical one-liners to the deliciously clichéd storyline, Cobra is one of Stallone's most underrated films. If you caught the heavily cut version on TBS(that is not the way to watch an 80's action film), you might have missed one of the best kills in the movie. Cobra and Night Slasher, played by the always awesome Brian Thompson, engage in deadly hand-to-knife combat inside a steel mill. After going back and forth a while, Sly manages to judo chop Night Slasher into a daze. This gives him enough time to impale the Slasher onto a large metal hook. The hook leads our screaming antagonist into a blast furnace where he is burned alive as Cobra watches on with a look of remorse.

"This is where the law stops and I start - sucker!"

Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Todd gets Impaled by the T-1000


The T-1000 calculates John Conner's next move and revisits his house in hope that the boy tries to contact his foster parents. He terminates Janelle, John's foster mom, and impersonates her. The T-1000 remains in this form until John calls to warn them, but his attempt to lure Conner home over the phone is thrown off when Todd yells at the dog to stop barking; Dogs are well known for their ability to detect Terminator units and frequently start barking when exposed to them. At this point, the T-1000 is annoyed at Todd for giving away the charade. The T-1000 switches hands and extends his left arm as we hear a thud off camera. After Arnold hangs up the phone, the camera pans from the T-1000's limb, to a pierced carton of milk, and finally, to Todd, who is impaled through the mouth and the back of the head.

Robocop - Clarence Boddicker Gets Plugged In


This movie just keeps on giving, from the Toxic Waste Guy to ED-209, another great death scene. As Robocop is pinned beneath a heap of rubble, Boddicker grabs a sharp metal spike and impales our hero through the chest. Clarence gets in real close for a final taunt when Robocop extends his pointy mainframe USB connector and stabs Boddicker in the neck. As Robocop pulls out the spike, a giant wad of blood splatters on his chest. Boddicker staggers backwards, clutching his neck as blood squirts out of his jugular.

Kiss of the Dragon - Kiss of the Dragon


When the title of a film is derived from an excruciatingly painful death scene, it deserves recognition(well at least on this site it does). At the end of the movie we learn exactly what the "Kiss of the Dragon" really is. Liu(Jet Li) punctures inspector Richard(Tchéky Karyo) in the back of the neck with an acupuncture needle at a "very forbidden" point. The puncture itself is called "Kiss of the Dragon", where all the blood in the body rushes to the head and floods the brain causing side effects of quadriplegia and bleeding from the victim's eyes, ears, mouth, and nostrils. Priceless!

SCENE AT 3:15
Rumor has it the technique actually exists. On the DVD commentary Bridget Fonda says she asked her acupuncturist during filming about it. Will you have convulsions and bleed out your eyeballs? Meh....probably not, but one can always dream.

Predator - Dillon's Death


Carl Weathers plays Dillon, the mistrusted outsider and former teammate of Dutch who is now pushing pencils for the CIA. Dillon's death scene gives us one of the best special effects shots in the film: a severed arm with a still firing gun gripped falling to the ground in slow motion. As the Predator comes to finish him off, Dillon goes for his other weapon. The Predator deploys his wrist gauntlet and impales Dillon, lifting him up into the air. Dillon then proceeds to give out the manliest death scream ever.

Silent Night, Deadly Night - Death Scenes


Critics condemned the movie, large crowds protested it. Silent Night, Deadly Night was a controversial film of the 80's about a killer dressed as Santa Claus. It has developed a little bit of a following over the years, and why not? It had all the good stuff: Sex, Nudity, and tons of violent(and hilarious I might add) movie deaths....observe

Hot Fuzz - Death Scenes


Hot Fuzz mixed the perfect blend of comedy, slasher flick, and cop-buddy movie. The over the top violence can get pretty graphic, so graphic it's funny. Similar to the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail. Another great chapter in the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy.

See No Evil - Jacob's Death


The problem now is that every movie has to "leave it open" for a sequel. Thus, giving us half assed movie deaths where we aren't sure if the villain is dead or not. The film See No Evil says the hell with that and gives its antagonist a creative and brutal death.

The Beyond - The Eyeball King

There's a reason Lucio Fulci was dubbed the "eyeball gag" king. Here are two of those reasons.

Halloween - Bob's Death


From the 1978 classic Halloween. As Bob(John Michael Graham) goes Downstairs to grab a beer, Michael Myers(Nick Castle) pops out and stabs him in the stomach. Myers impales him with the knife so hard that it mounts Bob on wall, leaving him to dangle there. A great scene and one of Micheal's best uses of a knife.

Big Trouble in Little China - Explosion / Reflex Death Scene


Jack Burton(Kurt Russell) takes on Lo Pan(James Hong) at the end of Big Trouble in Little China. Jack tries to throw his knife at Lo Pan but misses. Lo Pan retrieves the knife and attempts to throw it at Jack, but as they say...."It's all in the reflexes"





Another great death take place immediately after Lo Pan's death. After Thunder(Carter Wong) sees his master's dead body, Thunder gets so pissed off he starts swelling up until he burst into pieces. Which death scene did you like better?

Shoot 'Em Up - Eat Your Vegetables


Shoot 'Em Up is basically an action packed Elmer Fudd-chases-Bugs Bunny live action cartoon. Filled with ridiculous, implausible, yet hilarious stunts throughout. In this memorable scene, a goon gets force fed his veggies when Mr. Smith(Clive Owen) jams a carrot into his mouth, then rams the carrot through his cranium. See kids, vegetables are awesome.

Alien Resurrection - Headbuster


Jean-Pierre Jeunet is a unique visual genius, so it was interesting to see him apply that talent to the Alien series. While some think it may be the weakest of the series, it's still pretty entertaining and full of creative death scenes. In this clip, Pulvis(Leland Orser) gives birth to a beautiful healthy baby alien. Only difference is he's holding Dr. Wren(J.E. Freeman) in front of him.
