Cinematic Death Scenes
January 27, 2018 at 12:57 pm
I've always felt that a death/killing scene can sometimes make or break a film. Use this thread to post your favourite scenes of this nature. Two of mine:
For sheer brutality and overkill (pun intended),
Sonny Corleone Death
And for casual callousness,
Hell On Wheels
Boru

How about the one where the Jewish preacherman was subjected to some wicked S&M but things got out of hand at the end?
I thought the director's decision to resurrect the little kike was problematic, but nobody ever listens to me.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
Kind of cheap/cheesy, but high points for shock value. Wasn't expecting to see anything that grisly and GROSS on network TV at the time.
I didn't see it coming.
WARNING: Contains violent GORE
And speaking of Buffyverse, this Angel death admittedly makes me a little verklempt. The vengeance at the end help, though.
Oh no! Cyvus Vail thinks the ancient demon goddess Illyria is just some podunk mortal farm gal!

Seth Brundle fusing with the telepod and then getting his 'head' blasted off with a shotgun wielded by the mother of his child . . .

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
