Top 10 Action-y Movie Deaths...
In no particular order:
1) Death by Giant Penis - A Clockwork Orange
Alex breaks into the Cat Lady's apartment for a bit of the old ultraviolence...
2) Death by Holy Grail Imposter - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
"He chose...poorly."
a. Second Greatest Indy related death: Heart snatch! Ultimate own, from The Temple
of Doom.
b. Third greatest Indy related death: Nazi Boxer backs into a propeller...Awesome.
c. Fourth greatest Indy related death: Melting Viewers of the Ark of the Covenent.
3) Death by Telephone - 12 Monkeys
Bruce Willis bludgeons a Pimp to death with a telephone. Owned.
4) Death by Chemical Tank Explosion/Sniper - White Heat
"Made it Ma! Top of the World!"
5) Death by Carrot - Shoot 'Em Up
"Eat your vegetables!"
6) Death by Toxic Waste/Obliteration by Truck - Robocop
Worst day ever. You crash your truck into vat of toxic waste, emerge, melting and
disfigured, only to be splattered by your own buddy's car.
7) Death by Ass Bomb - Man on Fire
Denzel takes a new spin on the suppository. At least he was nice enough to let
the guy know what to expect...
8) Death by Compressed Air Pellet - Live and Let Die
"He always did have an over inflated opinion of himself..."
9) Death by VX Capsule - The Rock
Nicholas Cage jams VX capsul into villian's mouth, followed with a wicked uppercut...
10)Death by Super Slick Hans Solo - Star Wars: A New Hope
Hans Solo shot first. Nodding towards Greedo's obliterated corpse, ultra hip-ly tips
the barkeep "Sorry about the mess..."
I'm sure these would change if you asked me about it tomorrow, but for now, these are some of my favorites...=)
Lofivinyl: R uth I believe you. you are an oddd little piece of work. I find that I like you after all!
does it need to be an action movie?
id say everyone who dies from the maneating bunny in monty pythons holy grail.
That's why I said Action-Y movies...not all af mine are strictly action, but if someone puts something like,
1) Death by Leukemia - A Walk to Remember
So Sad!!! OMG!!! TOTAL TEAR JEARKER...I cried...Shane West is so dreamy!!!
I will hurt someone.
I agree, Death by bunny is awesome. Check out Bunny Suicides, Eddy, while we're on the topic.

In no particular order, 10 of my favorites (some not action-y, but still):
1. Death by elevator-related Arm Severing - Total Recall
Arny holds richter over the side of the elevator just long enough that he hits a concrete barrier, severing his arms and making him fall to his death. "See you at the party, Richter"
2. Doc Holliday gets killed by TB - Tombstone
For all the violence in the film, this one always gets me. I don't care if it's not an action sequence, it's one of Val Kilmer's finer moments. "say goodbye to me, go grab that spirited actress and make her your own. Take that spirit from her and don't look back. Live every second, live right on through to the end. Live Wyatt, live for me. Wyatt, if you were ever my friend... if ya ever had even the slightest of feelin' for me, leave now, leave now... please." Not action-y, but if you think about it, microorganisms are the only thing tough enough to take down Doc Holliday. You can imagine the fierceness of that battle.
3. Zombie Death by Lawn Mower - Dead Alive
From the man who directed Lord of the Rings! Better seen than described:
4. Duke gets speared by a snake - GI Joe the Movie
I don't care if they later softened this up by adding the "coma" ending. Duke died. That fucked my childhood right up.
5. Captain Kirk kicks Christopher Lloyd's Klingon ass into a volcano - Star Trek III
"I. Have had! Enough! of YOU!"
6. That one terrorist refuses to die - Die Hard
That muscle bound freak just keeps coming after Bruce Willis.
7. GOOOOOOOSE! - Top Gun
Goose ejects right into the canopy during a fucked up penis size contest/training exercise, leaving Tom Cruise to wallow in his empty latent homosexuality.
8. Fucked to death by a knifey dildo - Se7en
You don't see it onscreen, but...damn.
9. A game of Chicken between a tank and a helicopter. - Rambo III
Only Rambo could make a scene this bad so good. Rambo, in a tank, faces down a Russian in a helicopter in a game of chicken. It needed to be said twice. Let it sink in. Then watch it.
10. *SPOILER* Samuel L Jackson gets eaten during the heroic "rally the troops" speech - Deep Blue Sea
Unexpected. Sudden. Brutal. Awesome. Also, during the end credits, LL Cool J informs us his head is like a shark's fin.

Comments on numbers 2 and 8...
2) Tombstone: Rawk.
8) Best death by spikey dildo goes to "Cannibal Holocaust".
Also, forgot to include in my favorite deaths, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid...
Lofivinyl: R uth I believe you. you are an oddd little piece of work. I find that I like you after all!
Of course you did, Parker, but I'm saying that for the benefit of silly kids who would just post a youtube compilation...
Lofivinyl: R uth I believe you. you are an oddd little piece of work. I find that I like you after all!
In no particular order,
Last of the Mohicans-- Stabbed to shit and kicked off a cliff.
Man on Fire-- Bomb in the motha fuckin ass.
Braveheart-- Throat slicing on the post.
Unforgiven-- "Anyone who doesn't wanna get killed better move on out the back."
(Gunfight, Lil Bill gets shot)
Lil Bill: I don't deserve this. I was building a house.
William Money: Deserve's got nothin to do with it.
Sin City-- Yellow Bastard getting punched into mustard.
300-- Those guys that just all got speared to fuck.
Enter the Dragon-- Han Man gets his kung fu Jeet'd on.
Return of the Dragon-- Chuck Norris getting his shit wrecked by Bruce Lee. Drawn out fight, battle of attrition style, Karate vs Jeet Kune Do basically. Bruise for bruise until Norris gets his bones broken, one after another and then the neck is snapped, and Bruce folds his Karate gi and puts it on his chest.
The Hunted-- The only satisfying knife fight I've ever seen. Bloody as hell and to the death.
Halloween(zombie)-- (debatable content maybe for this thread) Michael Myers' bathroom brawl with that huge nigga.
SIRIUS in Harry Potter.
That's why I said Action-Y movies...not all af mine are strictly action, but if someone puts something like,
1) Death by Leukemia - A Walk to Remember
So Sad!!! OMG!!! TOTAL TEAR JEARKER...I cried...Shane West is so dreamy!!!
I never even sat through the whole movie.
Non-action:
The Last Temptation of Christ. That dude Willem Dafoe played. Savior guy.
Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas.
The stepbrother in Teeth. Actually, wait ... I don't think he died.
Fargo wood chipper.
E.T. 'Nuff said. But they ultimately pulled the same trick as Dafoe did above.
and yeah, death by lawnmower blade in Dead Alive. I have a hard time remembering specific death scenes from horror and action movies, but I recall Oldboy and Kill Bill having some good ones.

what about dwight yoakam getting his melon sliced by Slingblade with the lawnmower blade?
We could make an entire thread on just lawnmower deaths!
in the heat of burning air to watch the naked famele body is insane,
Man on Fire-- Bomb in the motha fuckin ass.
I feel...like this is not original!!!! Only nine!
Darlin', Nightrious is such a badass that even if he thought of it second, he thought of it first.
[rosiemoonjumper] 9:52 pm: cheeks are great
[rosiemoonjumper] 9:52 pm: bum and face
[rosiemoonjumper] 9:52 pm: oh yeah bum here = bottom not street vagrant
Rutger Hauer - Bladerunner-Death by implanted expiration
more like death by Deus Ex Machina!
Are you talking about some fancy Director's cut ;)
Sorry, Zoobot, we can share. It's a great death and great death speech. Daryl Hannah's death by "retirement" is good too.
that was so wrongful i should definitely get a apologies, especially of tony's half.
don't get me wrong i love the movie and character but that whole scene always seemed to me to be "Well, he's completely kicking the tar out of Deckard and we need him to lose now, sooooo he just ups and dies." Great idea! Go with that!"

He doesn't just up and die, he expires beautifully, sadly and with deep grief!

I think the movie would be better if Deckard just grabbed him and shouted "GET OFF MY PLANE!" before kicking him over the side of the building.
Also, I'll add Air Force One's "GET FF MY PLANE" to this list.

Followed by an explanation to everyone else of, "No ticket."

Guffaw!

The more that I think about it...the more I really love blade runner. I think it's really underrated.
I also just realized that I like the part in Indiana Jones and the last crusade where Sean Connery kills the airplane with birds...
Lofivinyl: R uth I believe you. you are an oddd little piece of work. I find that I like you after all!
I say V for Vendette the fight scene and the scene near end from death sentence and alas my favourite the matrix revolution.
If your circle stays unbroken, then you're a lucky man cause it never, never, never has for me. In the palace of the virgin, lies the chalice of the soul, and it's likely you might find the answer there.
I admire anyone who can keep more than one slider down.
IN N OUT IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT
[rosiemoonjumper] 9:52 pm: cheeks are great
[rosiemoonjumper] 9:52 pm: bum and face
[rosiemoonjumper] 9:52 pm: oh yeah bum here = bottom not street vagrant
Yes, yes I am cute...but since I don't have a sensitive tummy, they don't end up in the toilet two seconds later.
Anyways, in and out is def the shit! I love in and out, kinda what I missed about cali, and now I'm back!!!

the shark clips have to be the greatest thing ever.
