Jaws - Quint's Demise


Watch JAWS Quint's last stand in Entertainment  |  View More Free Videos Online at Veoh.com
I don't know how this scene from Jaws has not already been featured yet. A classic, Quint's demise. Jaws came out in 1975 and it was rated PG, probably traumatized a lot of kids because of how graphic Spielberg's scene was. Top 10. Thanks to Mr. TIP for the request.

The Green Mile - Botched Execution

This shocking scene (sorry, had to do it) from the 1999 film adaptation of the Stephen King novel involves the botched execution of Eduard Delacroix. When Percy Wetmore, a spoiled and abusive guard, doesn't soak the sponge that goes on the headpiece of the electric chair the sparks start to fly. The dry sponge causes the sabotaged chair to overload and blast violent electrical currents all through Del's body, causing flames to erupt from his eyes and mouth, frying him to death. Percy, you bastard!

Suspiria - Dario Argento: Violent Deaths

Suspiria is a 1977 Italian horror film directed by "Giallo" master Dario Argento. The story is about a young American ballet student who arrives in Germany to attend a prestigious dance academy. After a couple of strange occurrences she begins having suspicions that all is not as it seems at the school. She eventually discovers the school is a front for a coven of witches who practice black magic. Entertainment Weekly rated the film #18 in its top 25 scariest movies of all time and said it had "the most vicious murder scene ever filmed." The first clip was actually on Bravos' scariest moments list. In the scene, some poor girl gets her face smashed through a window, stabbed in the heart(seriously, she gets stabbed IN the heart), dropped though a skylight and hung by the neck, Brutal! In the second clip, a woman tries to escape only to fall into a giant pit of barbed wire, ouch! Then gets her throat slit just to top things off. Two classic deaths from one classic movie.

Irreversible - Severe Head Trauma


After watching this clip your first words might be, "Whoa, that's pretty violent" or if you're like me, "Holy Shit, that's fuckin' awesome." Either way, you're going to have some kind of reaction to this ultra violent scene from the French film Irreversible. That's exactly what director Gaspar NoƩ wanted, in fact initial footage using a latex dummy wasn't violent enough, so they used C.G.I. (if you look closely you can see the digital augmentations) to kick it up a notch. The movie starring Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci(Google her immediately)was so controversial Newsweek stated that it was the "most walked-out-of movie of the year."

The Godfather - Sonny gets Whacked!


The demise of Sonny Corleone was one of the most violent scenes of its time. Death by a hail of gunfire from a Tommy Gun, Sonny's death was painful to watch not just because of the brutality of the death, but because Sonny was everybody's favorite Corleone. Coppola was a fan of Bonnie and Clyde, so he staged Sonny's death in The Godfather to be reminiscent of the final death scene. In this clip, Sonny gets ambushed by Barzini's men at a toll booth with a barrage of bullets and to top it off, a kick in the face. Poor Bastard.

Wishmaster - Skeleton Pops Out

We're back! Sorry for the delay, but we were suffering from headshot week hangover. In fact headshot week was so popular that we couldn't fit all of it in 7 days, so we'll continue with part 2 another time. Today's movie death comes at the hands of the Djinn. The Djinn is the most underrated horror movie villain ever. Played by Andrew Divoff, the Djinn doesn't have an axe or machete to kill his victims, he uses wishes. With the overriding theme of “be careful what you wish for” in the films, wishes can have disastrous, horrific, and fatal consequences. Often, the genie causes harm to the loved ones or innocent people surrounding the wisher, making others pay for its master’s greed or ignorance, and he always does it in the goriest ways. In this clip from the opening sequence of Wishmaster, A Persian sorcerer sees what the Djinn can do first hand as a skeleton bursts out of a mans body and attacks people.

Bad Boys 2 - Slow Motion Headshot

SCENE AT 9:00

Headshots are great, but nothing beats a slow motion headshot. In this clip from Bad Boys 2, the antagonist Johnny Tapia gets one to the dome in slow-mo. To top it off, he falls on some land mines and gets his upper body blown to pieces. One of the most underrated movie deaths in my opinion. Michael Bay certainly knows how to kill'em, movies like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Rock had some pretty good deaths. Bay is set to produce a remake of the Hitchcock film The Birds, he's also set to produce a remake of the original Friday the 13th. Let's hope he can bring something to those films. Most likely no.

The Plague Dogs - Definitely Not Disney



The Plague Dogs is not your ordinary animated film. It may look like a cute Disney movie at first glance, but it's far from it. This is movie can become disturbing at times, maybe it's because there are scenes you wouldn't expect to see in an animated film. Scenes of animal cruelty and violence like this clip. I won't spoil it, so just watch. The film was directed and produced by Martin Rosen, who also directed Watership Down, another awesome animated movie involving some pretty violent rabbits. A must see. Thanks to Arxane for for the clip. Keep sending those requests!
