3.11 Best Death In A Horror Movie-Kane gives "birth", Alien

Embedding was disabled, so you can watch a low-quality clip here: YouTube - ALIEN 1979

But, yeah. A baby alien bursts through the chest of poor John Hurt, leaving him a spasming pile of flesh. I was hoping this would fall to me here. I think could even be on a Mount Rushmore of movie deaths.

Radii · 04-25-2009, 08:48 PM

I almost took Darth Vader with my pick at 3.9, nice one.

Danny · 04-25-2009, 09:04 PM

Vader was a strong pick.

ntndeacon · 04-25-2009, 11:18 PM

Nice pick with Kane.

spleen1015 · 04-25-2009, 11:20 PM

Damn it Karl!

I was going to use that one this time around!

spleen1015 · 04-25-2009, 11:31 PM

3.12 - Best Death in a Comedic Movie - Vizzini's death to Iocaine powder in The Princess Bride

I was going to use this one and Kane's death this go round. Anyway....

4.1 - Best Gunshot Death - Alex Forrest (Glen Close) in Fatal Attraction

Couldn't find a youtube video for this.

Schmidty · 04-26-2009, 12:00 AM

Great one.

Crim · 04-26-2009, 12:51 AM

The Alien death is a really, really great pick. I'm amazed it fell so far.

And spleen, when I saw that Princess Bride clip earlier of Inigo Montoya vs. the Six Fingered Man, I was amazed that it made it onto the board before yours. This was my favorite scene, in one of my favorite movies ever.

Karlifornia · 04-26-2009, 04:57 AM

Oh, boy. This is really tough. I am making this pick based on which death I think has the higher probability of being chosen between now and my next pick. Using that as the basis, I will go with this:

4.2 Best Melee Death-King Mufasa dies-The Lion King

YouTube - Mufasa's Death-Lion King-ENGLISH

I am the antithesis of an animated movie fan. In fact, the only one I've watched in the better part of a decade is "Finding Nemo", which I hated. Saying that, this death was fantastic, and unexpected.

Now, please, fellow drafters: Draft the way I would expect you, and let my next prized pick fall to me. It should happen. I don't foresee any of you smart people being smart enough to choose my mid-round white whale.

Sun Tzu · 04-26-2009, 09:51 AM

Well...for some reason I was stuck on the idea of picking the best death in a Comedy, and suddenly this one hit me like a ton of bricks.

With their 4th pick in the draft...

4.3 Best Death in an Action Film - Wade dies

"I'm a school teacher"

I chose this one not only because of the emotion and humanity that you could see coming out of Wade during the scene, but also becasue of the emotion and humanity that it brought out in the men around him during, and after his death. I will always hold it against the Captain that he decided to not move past the the Radar Tower.

larrymcg421 · 04-26-2009, 10:15 AM

That's a great pick, but I support the Captain's reasoning. If they left the maching gun nest, then they'd just be leaving it for someone else to get killed. If it was a larger unit, they could've been decimated if they didn't see the nest before it saw them.

Radii · 04-26-2009, 01:13 PM

4.4 - Best Death in a Comedy - Sir Bors killed by killer Rabbit of Caerbannog - Monty Python and the Holy Grail

nasty, big pointy teeth!

ntndeacon · 04-26-2009, 04:20 PM

4.5 Best Death in an Action Movie--King Kong--King King

I am certainly getting my share of non humans. but this scene still being here this late had to be taken care of.

Had thought about this, but forgot. Nice pick.

spleen1015 · 04-26-2009, 04:34 PM

King Kong was on my list. Good pick.

larrymcg421 · 04-26-2009, 05:19 PM

I'm certain we all know, but you may want to specify which King Kong you're talking about.

Schmidty · 04-26-2009, 08:59 PM

King Kong was my next pick.

lordscarlet · 04-26-2009, 09:03 PM

My advisor (read: Wade) isn't around, so I'm going to make this pick by the seat of my pants! Oh no!

I am not big on action movies, but over the past 20 or so years, I think it's hard to beat this one.

4.6 Best Death in an Action Movie - Hans Gruber, Die Hard

Crim · 04-26-2009, 09:09 PM

Running it in super-slo-mo, with lame techno music dubbed in doesn't make it a great pick, I'm afraid.

Chief Rum · 04-26-2009, 09:15 PM

4.7 Best Death in a Dramatic Movie - A dying Elias (Willem Dafoe) reaches his arms up for the copter that's not coming back for him, Platoon

Crim · 04-26-2009, 11:23 PM

I hadn't considered that scene at all larry, but a pretty good pick I think.

Chief Rum · 04-26-2009, 11:43 PM

Yeah, that's an excellent pick. Very powerful scene. I remember the first time I saw that, I so hated Tom Berenger's character I wanted to reach through the screen and kill him myself.

It's the only one I could find. I would love to swap it with a better one if you can find it.

DeToxRox · 04-27-2009, 11:38 AM

4.8 - Jesus dies for you! [Most heroic death]

I am not a religious person but that was some heroic fucking shit.

cartman · 04-27-2009, 11:50 AM

4.9 - Best serial killer, Leatherface - Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Truly one of the most terrifying characters to ever grace the movie screen.

WARNING: The clip below is not safe for work. It is quite disturbing.

Schmidty · 04-27-2009, 08:28 PM

4.10 - Best Explosion Death - Dudes Head Explodes - Scanners

Classic scene. If you don't want to watch the whole thing, skip to around the 1 minute mark.

stevew · 04-27-2009, 10:00 PM

4.11 Best Death in a Action Movie-Russell Franklin(Samuel L Jackson) gets eaten by a shark-Deep Blue Sea

lordscarlet · 04-27-2009, 10:06 PM

pm'd. What category for the Sam Jackson death?

DeToxRox · 04-27-2009, 10:08 PM

LOL. I love the Sam Jackson DPS death. It's why he took the movie.

stevew · 04-27-2009, 10:14 PM

I will clean up the pick and slot it when I get home

bhlloy · 04-27-2009, 10:26 PM

I hope I'm not crashing the party with my comments, but that Samuel L Jackson death was by far the best WTF moment I have ever seen in a movie (and it was an abysmal movie for the other hour and a half) Great, great pick that hopefully won't get marked down because the movie was so bad.

stevew · 04-27-2009, 10:31 PM

I'm going action I think.

Crim · 04-27-2009, 10:37 PM

Definitely agree. This is one scene I had in mind when I first started reading along in this thread. Great, great, pick.

Crim · 04-27-2009, 10:40 PM

Hope it's okay to do this:

DeToxRox · 04-27-2009, 10:46 PM

LOL. I can't stop laughing watching that.

Buccaneer · 04-27-2009, 10:50 PM

I disagree. I remember seeing that movie several years ago and thought that part was very cheesy (seeing it again confirms it). Jaws did it much more suspenseful 20 years earlier. Pales in comparison to many of the death picks, imo.

bhlloy · 04-27-2009, 11:22 PM

Well, yeah I would definitely pick it for comedy rather than action. In that category though, it pretty much stands alone IMO.

AENeuman · 04-27-2009, 11:55 PM

4.12 Best Gunshot Death, Police Commissioner, Godfather

YouTube - Godfather Restaurant - I'm gonna speak Italian to Mike

5.1 Best Melee Death, Apollo Creed via Drago, Rocky IV

YouTube - Rocky IV-Apollo Dies

stevew · 04-28-2009, 12:43 AM

5.2 Best suicide, TV-Facing 55 years in prison for various crimes, PA State Treasurer W Budd Dwyer calls a press conference and shoots himself in the mouth on live TV.

stevew · 04-28-2009, 12:46 AM

Dola. Posting this would be a banable offense.

Karlifornia · 04-28-2009, 02:05 AM

Interesting picks, Steve

lordscarlet · 04-28-2009, 08:10 AM

stevew's suicide pick seems pretty good, but am I the only one that hasn't seen DBS or heard of Bill Dwyer?

And now for more of why people don't like me when it comes to drafts.

Is it just me, or do the "double" picks from movies take away from those picks? I think there should have been a rule taking a movie away if someone else picked it. In lieu of that, however, it seems to diminish the individual picks when you realize that movie was used for something else. I suppose some movies have very specific deaths that go in specific categories, but....

2 of the best picks in their categories. Well done.

I have not seen either.. Also you have a point on the "double picks" but we decided that they be allowed. I think that there are several movies where the double dipping into them makes sense.

Schmidty · 04-28-2009, 10:12 AM

5.3 - Best Serial Killer - Freddy Krueger

stevew · 04-28-2009, 10:12 AM

That motherfucking shark ate me!

Sun Tzu · 04-28-2009, 10:14 AM

I considered Drago but...Rocky IV just felt like this big long music video and I couldn't get emotionally involved at any point. I mean don't get me wrong, I own all 6 Rocky films, but I'd probably rank IV down there with V in emotional impact.

Sun Tzu · 04-28-2009, 10:15 AM

Dola

Schmidty wins the serial killer one. Finely done good sir.

cartman · 04-28-2009, 10:33 AM

5.4 - Best death in a comedic movie - Brian's crucifixion, Life of Brian

Any scene that can get you to laugh, clap, and sing-along to an execution has to be the best in this category.
