Rambo: First Blood Part II - Exploding Arrow


Rambo makes his escape through a creek at the base of a waterfall when a Vietcong sergeant spots him. The solider turns and fires his automatic weapon at Rambo completely missing him. Once he runs out of ammo, he, for some odd reason, gives his weapon a final glance of confusion before tossing it and grabbing his handgun. Rambo comes out from behind the rocks with a look of confidence and slowly pulls out an explosive tipped arrow. Realizing that he is in trouble and a horrible shot, the sergeant runs away as Rambo aims his bow. The soldier turns and fires a final desperation shot before Rambo releases the arrow. The projectile pierces the sergeant's chest and explodes, sending a mess of blood and guts flying through the air.

Gladiator - Female Archer Splits


In a recreation of the Battle of Zama (in the film they call it the Battle of Carthage), Maximus leads Proximo's gladiators against a more powerful force dressed as Roman Legionnaires. The fight gets pretty bloody with plenty of great death scenes, but one fatality seems to stand out the most and make you yell out "gotcha bitch!" One of the chariots-equipped with wheel blades- gets flipped by Maximus and his men, sending a female archer to the ground. At the same time the driver of another chariot is killed, veering it toward our fallen victim. She raises her hands up and screams out before she is split in twain by the razor sharp wheel blades.
SCENE STARTS AT 2:35

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

300 - Astinos' Decapitation


Astinos, son of Captain Artemis meets his glorious demise. Actually it wasn't that glorious since it doesn't occur during battle, but like 5 minutes afterward. As you can guess Artemis wasn't too happy about it.

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc - Giant Balls and Spinning Things


The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc is full of violent battles with graphic movie deaths, but a few unique ones stood out the most. In one scene, soldiers drop boulder-sized balls down chutes that lead outside of their fort, smashing into soldiers. One poor bastard goes head-on with one and gets blasted backwards.



Another great death comes to an unsuspecting soldier climbing a ladder. As the soldier gets to the top, a giant rotating defensive apparatus decapitates him in a bloody mess.

Letters from Iwo Jima - Death before Dishonor


Saigo overhears General Kuribayashi radioing orders to retreat northward. Kuribayashi's commanders disobey his orders to fall back and solidify the northern defenses so they and their men can die with honor. In the film's most horrifying scene, a group of soldiers commit suicide by grenade, one by one. They would rather die then fall in enemy hands. The men follow the Bushido code. Under this code, if a samurai warrior failed to uphold his honor he could regain it by performing seppuku (ritual suicide).
