Second best death scene?

[Cthulhudrew]

Having recently seen Hot Fuzz, I think that the "church" death scene is one of the craziest I have ever seen.

That was pretty good, yeah. The flower shop one was pretty cool, too. One of the funniest parts of the movie was how incongruous the deaths were to a lot of what was going on in the rest of the film, at least up until that point.

Spike Spegal from Cowboy Bebop
Wolfwood and Legato from Trigun
Vegita from Dragon Ball Z
William Blake from Dead Man.... though I don't think an entire movie qualifies as a death scene...
George Mason, Sherry Palmer and Edgar From 24
Dead Like me had alot of fun death scenes, but I that the girl from Episode 1 and Ray's death and were among the best in that series.

But my all time favorite was Aerith from Final Fantasy 7. After all.. if it wasn't for Aerith dying I wouldn't have cared about killing Sepiroth.

It's ok to revive your own thread, right?

Having recently seen Hot Fuzz, I think that the "church" death scene is one of the craziest I have ever seen.

I'll not describe it, for it is best to not know what's coming when you see it. And if you've seen the movie, you know exactly of what I speak, and that I am not lying. Crazy stuff, man!

In 2004 there was an awesome death scene envolving this thread, oh well.

I'm pretty sure any Firefly fans can add an obvious post-2004 great death.

What about Leonidas in 300?

I think one of the death scenes that affected me the most was in Saving Private Ryan, when one of the soldiers (can't remember his name) gets in a fight with the German soldier they had let go earlier in the movie. The German gets him on the ground, and slowly killed him with that knife. That whole scene just made me feel complete horror for the poor guy. I kept thinking of how terrified he must have been.

Another one that kind of emphasized the pointlessness of it all was in Munich, when they catch that female assassin, and kill her on her boat. I remember thinking "all these people dying, their lives wasted, and what's the point"?

Optimus Prime in Transformers: The Movie as well...I remember actually crying..

Wash's death in Serenity shocked the heck out of me..

The death of Inch in To Green Angel Tower was pretty cool. I was cheering.

There's the bad guy in Kull The Conqueror. That one wins the trophy for ALL DEAD. (Mostly dead - there's hope). That guy was ALL DEAD.

On fire, falling off a cliff - and he *explodes* in mid-air = ALL DEAD

I don't think that guy is coming back in the sequel.

Honourable mention in the ALL DEAD category: "Thus passes Denethor, son of Ecthelion". He didn't explode - but I'm waiting for the outtake where he does

Harmonica's brother in Once Upon a Time in the West by Sergio Leone. One of the most striking and impressionable visuals I've ever seen in a movie, ever.

One of the many reasons that is a great movie.
