>>> No. 1 : Eric Draven
in THE CROW played by Brandon Lee
This has to go down as THE number one
movie death due to the fact that Brandon
Lee did actually die in the filming of
'The Crow'. In the flashback scene where
Eric arrives home and is shot by Funboy,
he is shot in the chest and falls backwards...which
was what he was supposed to do, so at
first everyone thought he was over-acting.
But soon people realised something was
wrong...Turns out that a shell left in
the blank firer was shot out of the gun
having the effect of a real bullet, piercing
Brandon's abdomen and lodging itself next
to his spine. He later died in hospital
with his wife-to-be Eliza Hutton at his
side. The tragic scene where he dies is
still in the film. RIP. |

>>>No. 2 : Bohdi in
POINT BREAK played by Patrick Swayze
Bohdi, named so short for the Bohdizifer,
turns up at Bells Beach Australia for
the mythical 50 year storm having been
on the run from FBI agent Johny Utah for
months. After a fucking good scrap on
the beach with agent Utah (Keanu Reeves),
Bohdi is facing jail, but rather than
face life behind bars he begs Utah to
let him paddle out into the ocean to try
to surf the ultimate point break, and
waves of over 4 metres...as FBI agents
look on Bohdi disappears under a wave
as it breaks over him, going out like
a legend. Keanu throws his fbi badge into
the sea and walks away.

>>>No. 3 : Sergeant
Elias in PLATOON played by William Dafoe
Having been shot in the chest by one of
his own men (Tom Berenger), Elias is thought
to be dead, but as the remaining members
of his platoon escape in a chopper they
look down to see Elias running out of
the rainforest followed by a shit load
of rather pissed off Vietnamise soldiers.
Elias takes about 20 bullets in the back
before eventually going down. Hard bastard! |

>>>No. 4 : Vincent
Vega in PULP FICTION played by John Travolta
Gangster bad boy and all round styler
Vincent Vega is sent to "scout the
earth" for Butch (Bruce Willis) and
is taking a shit in Butch's apartment
when Butch comes back to collect his father's
watch. Dip-shit Vega had only gone and
left his oozie lying on the kitchen side-board,
so when Butch decides to make himself
some pop tarts he finds it. Travolta walks
out of the bog to see Willis pointing
his own gun at him. Nothing happens for
a few seconds until suddenly the pop tarts
pop up and make an un-nervey Butch promptly
shoot the shit out of his unlucky fiend,
who falls back and sits on the toilet,
dead. An all round quality death. |

>>>No. 5 : Kowalski
in VANISHING POINT played by Barry Newman
Cult hero Kowalski commits suicide by
driving his Dodge straight into a roadblock,
having outrun Police across several states
on the way to San Fransisco. Kowalski
goes out in true style knowing that he
has become an American legend. |
 |
>>>No. 6 : Mr. Big
in JAMES BOND LIVE AND LET DIE played
by Yaphet Kotto
Well there had to be a James Bond movie
in the list somewhere...
While a fit as f**k Jane Seamore watches
on in a skimpy little dress, James Bond
(played by Roger Moore) forces a compressed
gas pellet into Mr. Big's mouth causing
him to shoot up in the air like a balloon
and pop when he hits the roof. Pure entertainment.
And of course Bond gets the girl. |
 |
>>>No. 7 : Neil McCauly
in HEAT played by Robert de Niro
After shooting Wayne Grow in the head
in his hotel room Robby makes a b-line
for the airport where Vincent Hanna (Al
Pacino) follows. A great final show down
in the airfield where McCauly is caught
out by the lights of a landing plane allowing
Al the chance to shoot, then as McCauly
dies Hanna holds his hand, ahh how sweet.
But seriously, a great scene. |
 |
>>>No. 8 : Private
Pile in FULL METAL JACKET
You know the fat fucker who everyone hates...well
he flips out one night when he's on guard
duty, kills the officer and then shoots
himself in the mouth blowing his head
off, pure class! |
 |
>>>No. 9 : Critical
Bill in THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU'RE
DEAD played by Treat Williams
"You're
reputation far exceeds your skills!"
- definitely one of the best quotes of
all time too. Critical Bill has been hiding
out in his shit-hole apartment for weeks
knowing that the world's best hit man
(played by Steve Buscemi) is going to
arrive at some point. Bill manages to
out-wit Buscemi who shoots at an empty
bed before a series of spotlights are
shone at him and Bill shoots him down
as he's dazzled. Thinking he's dead, Bill
approaches Buscemi, who then pulls out
a gun and kills Bill. The two both die,
but Critical Bill has killed the man who
was branded invincible. Respect! |
 |
>>>No. 10 : Mumrah
in THUNDERCATS THE MOVIE played by Mumrah
Not many people even know that there's
a movie of thundercats, but there is.
Mumrah has stolen the talisman from Liono
which holds the power of the star of thundera,
but when he opens up the talisman it kills
him, meaning the Thundercats' evil enemy
is no more. |
