Woo! Happy Saturday Night Thread! I am feeling it tonight, how about you guys?
I hope it’s not, Bill, since I’ve got a whole bunch…Good calls on Quint and BTiLC.
Spoiler City here obviously…Invader mentioned this in his recent Greatest Villians Countdown: Judge Doom in Roger Rabbit alternately fascinated and horrified me as a kid, and even now.
In Sin City, when Marv takes his revenge on Kevin, cutting him into pieces and feeding it to his own pet wolf, but Kevin never screams once…cute little Elijah Wood has never looked the same!
All the press for W. and (finally) seeing Iron Man reminded me how much I loved Robert Downey Jr. in Natural Born Killers and how crazy his death scene is. He really steals that movie.
Marvin in Pulp Fiction getting his head accidentally blown off all over the backseat. And speaking of cars, the big crash scene in Death Proof, particularly the parts where one leg meets the road and one face meets a tire. And Naveen Andrews getting his head split into pieces in Planet Terror is hysterical, but the part where Dr. Block’s son blows his face off immediately after she warns him not to play with the gun has to rank even higher.
If I may add a worst, I really hated the way the killed off Norrington in the last Pirates movie. It’s one thing for them to kill off my almost-favorite character, but they didn’t have to send him out like a total punk. At least they could have made it exciting :-/

The death of Roach in Demon Knight sweet justice for those of us that passionately hate Lowell Mather.

Doho! That’s awesome. I completely forgot about that one.
On my way back from Washington I stopped for gas and picked up Leatherface: TCM 3 on VHS. Has anyone seen it? The trailer looks very promising.
I don’t mean to double-post but I just recalled Stephen Taylor’s death in A Perfect Murder was awesome and unexpected.

Budd Dwyer, run a google video search on him.

Stringer Bell’s death at the end of the third season of The Wire comes to mind, but I just watched it so that may have somthing to do with it. My favorite ever? That would take more thought then I’m willing to invest right now…

Samuel L. Jackson in Deep Blue Sea, or the gremlin in the paper shredder

Personally I like the Gremlin in the juicer. Stay Puft’s death is good. Not that I wanted him to die. From Sin City, I prefer The Yellow Ba*tard’s death. “I took away his weapons. Both of them.”

How about the deaths in Clue? Especially the Singing Telegram.

Pee Wee Herman in Buffy The Vampire Slayer (The Movie) Classic!

Oh, I know another good one: Scatman Carruthers in The Shining. He comes all the way up from Florida and makes all this effort to get to the hotel. Then the minute he walks in, Jack wacks him with the axe.

the dad in the Hills Have Eyes remake looked like a pretty painful one, and not just for him.
Ok. My last one. I think the “chest burster” scene in Aliens may take the cake.

One of my favorites is when Matrix throws that pipe right into that pcycho Australian in Commando, and steam comes out of the
pipe. “Let off some steam Bennett.”

Kurtz’s death in Apocalypse Now.

Budd Dwyer, Filter’s – hey man nice shot is supposedly written about him
Chestnuts roasted by batfink @ 10/18/2008 9:27 PM
Do TV shows count? Because nothing beats Phil Leotardo’s head under a tire on “The Sopranos”. That was the best part of the whole series.
Chestnuts roasted by anniemagus @ 10/18/2008 9:29 PM
Mystie, the hubby and I were discussing that very movie only moments ago!
Chestnuts roasted by anniemagus @ 10/18/2008 9:31 PM
is it gross point blank? or is that “POP CORN!!”?
Chestnuts roasted by batfink @ 10/18/2008 9:34 PM
Most emotional death scene ever, and the only one where I went “WHAT? NOOOO!” out loud in a theater: Wash in Serenity. Being a Browncoat, that one killed me.
Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 10/18/2008 9:34 PM
Anniemagus, I should have added tv show death scenes too when I pitched the idea to Matt last night. If it’s alright with him, then yes,
tv shows count now.

Samuel L. Jackson in Deep Blue Sea.
Come on, that was fuckin’ awesome.

I’d have to go with Danny DeVito’s death in Johnny Dangerously.
