I can't say anything for movies that either hasn't been said or has mde me laugh : Sams death in Deep blue, and in the canabal movie set in the 'late west' As the villain ate people he gained strength
What about the overseers death at the end of fallout? (game)
Frank horrigans at the end of Fallout two. (Another game)
Jonnys death at the end of Baldurs gate 2. (It's not that I don't watch movies I just don't remember them)
and forced the hero to do the same. At the end they wrestle and the hero grapples the villain and lands both of them into a giant bear trap, and as they are crushed to death what does he say? "That was very...sneaky"

I think everyone is still hung up on humanoids.
H.A.L. in 2001 a Space Odyessy (and Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress also comes to mind in this category)
The entire cast of the 'Planet of Fear' where each dies by their greatest fear. Seeing Erin Moran's (of Happy Days) head explode is worth the price of admission. Of course "I live and die by the crystals" and "I hate bugs" rank up there too. Anyone else remember this from the 80's

Taye Digs (sp?) death in Equilibrium

Dude, that was just a clone (and if it wasn't it should have been, so just think that it was). The Goblin's death scene was great and I'm glad they did it almost verbatim in the movie.Flexor the Mighty! said:
As for the best movie death scene, I'll go with Alan Rickman's in Die Hard. Yeah, that scene (like just about everything else in that movie) has been copied in over half the action films since, but when that movie first came out it was rather original.
And I'm truly sorry to hear about Kai Lord's dad. And yes, strapped to a missle and fired through a skyscraper and into a coptor is a fairly common type of death. I think it falls on the list somewhere after motorcycle accidents and before shark attacks.

And somewhat more common than shark attacks while on a motorcycle.

I blame the Fonz.
They needed more "Don't try this at home" warnings.

Amon Goeth's (Schindler's List) death was doubly satisfying knowing that that was how it went down in real life. Take that, scumbag.
As for non-historical personages, I've always been fond of Gary Oldman's death in Air Force One, and the ensuing shot of his corpse parachuting to earth.
And where is the love for the Terminator's hydraulic pressing?!?

How about any of the Highlander episodes or movies?
While not that great a movie, Endgame had its good points (some of the fighting was the best I've ever seen), and the way Connor layed down his life (but went out kicking) so that Duncan could defeat Kell was an honorable way to die. (Though seeing Connor depressed all the time in the last 3 movies sucked).
And you all Forget to mention The Ferrett (Kodo or Podo?) from the beastmaster movie. Now THAT'S a Hero!
I also liked the death scenes from Conan the Barbarian. Thulsa Doom hacks off Conan's mums head at the openeing scene, and at the end, Conan hacks off his head. Notyhing glorious, no blaring trumpets or anything like that. No heroics, just brutal, painful, bloody hacking with his father's broken sword (Suffer No Guilt Ye Who Wield This Blade In The Name Of Crom!)
Rexor's death was pretty cool to. I didn't know the human body had so much blood!
(Even after the body falls under Conan's slashing blade, a whole bunch of blood flies into the air!)
Then of course anyone killed by John Rambo LOL
Apollo Creed from the Rocky Movies. That was political in a way for the times, but it was still good.
Saruman's death in the LOTR. Talk about a sucky way for old Sharky to die
Data's death in the Star Trek: Nemesis. That did kind of bother me.
Alderaan's destruction at the hands of Moff tarkin and his 'Death Star Drive-by".
In real life, Sam Walton, because we all know Wal-Mart went to the dogs after he croaked. Good old fashioned customer service to greedy, money hungry corporate a-holes who more resemble whimpering ferengi crying over lost profit than the managers they should be.
And then there's my dog, Butch, who I grew up with. I'll never forget that day; I had been home from the Air Force for a few weeks, and there was a family feud going on, and everyone was mad at everyone, and then old butch who was like 15 years old finally died, and that broke the camel's back. I left home again (not to return for near two years), and the rest of the family went thier seperate ways.
