00:00 "The purifying flame, it nourishes us, warms us, reinvents us, forges and destroys us."
00:10 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most excessive,
00:15 memorable and creatively violent movie deaths of all time.
00:27 We'll be excluding anime and won't always be able to show the exaggerated scenes in full,
00:32 but otherwise, brutal or goofy, live-action or animated, it's here,
00:36 and full of spoilers galore, obviously.
00:39 Say what you will about the double-crossing Captain Bennett, but he sure is persistent.
00:50 This guy is shocked, beaten, almost fried alive,
00:54 and still hesitant to spout off some cheesy 80s quips.
00:57 "I'm not gonna shoot you between the eyes! I'm gonna shoot you between the balls!"
01:01 But not even he can take on Arnold Schwarzenegger in all his zany action hero glory.
01:07 To put Bennett down for good, Schwarzenegger ends up tearing a steam pipe off the wall
01:11 and using it as a makeshift javelin. It still blows air and everything!
01:16 As if death by steaming impalement isn't awesome enough,
01:19 Schwarzenegger proceeds to read Bennett his last rights in the form of a perfect one-liner.
01:25 "Let off some steam, Bennett."
01:27 This astronaut made two fatal mistakes in his last expedition.
01:40 The first was thinking he could simply unplug the artificial intelligence HAL.
01:44 The second was getting caught.
01:46 Refusing to be powered off, the robot promptly cuts Frank's oxygen line,
01:51 killing him and sending his body careening into the vast unknown of space.
01:55 Like most things in 2001 A Space Odyssey, it's presented with minimal sound effects,
02:05 and the silence rings louder than a scream ever could.
02:08 For what it's worth, fellow astronaut Dave does brave the stars to save his comrade,
02:12 but at that point, it's really just so they have something to bury.
02:16 [Beeping]
02:19 In his attempts to pillage Pandora, the scumbag Quaritch brought giant robots,
02:30 legions of men, and a whole lot of self-absorbed hubris.
02:34 However, the people of Pandora had heart,
02:36 and that was more than enough to give Quaritch his due recompense.
02:44 Neytiri gets the honors by firing not just one, but two arrows clean into the villain's chest.
02:49 To punctuate the moment, Quaritch's entire mech suit falls over in suitably dramatic fashion.
02:55 A one-two blow to the heart doesn't sound like a very fun way to go out,
02:59 but given that Quaritch nearly destroyed Pandora, it's hard to feel too bad for him.
03:12 Nothing lightens the mood like a magic trick, right? The Joker certainly thinks so.
03:16 When meeting with the worst of Gotham's criminal elite,
03:19 he delivers an act that simply can't be followed.
03:22 The Joker puts a pencil on the table, grabs a mobster's head, and voila!
03:26 The pencil disappears.
03:28 A magician never reveals their secrets,
03:34 so we'll just say that you really don't want to be the assistant in this trick.
03:38 After all, it's saying something when you can phase the slimiest crooks in all of Gotham.
03:43 Who knew the Joker was such a convincing illusionist?
03:46 Good business, bad business, whatever.
04:03 The fact of the matter is that now, Beckett isn't doing any business at all.
04:07 When he tried to take control of the seas,
04:09 he found himself stuck between a pirate ship and a hard place.
04:12 From there, Beckett's ship gets completely blown to bits,
04:15 and it's a glorious sight to behold.
04:17 You've got slow-mo close-ups, you've got flying debris,
04:27 heck, you've even got exploding cannonballs just for good measure.
04:30 Beckett himself is consumed with fire moments before his entire vessel goes down.
04:35 Nowadays, if you want a meeting with this chairman,
04:38 you'll need to commute to the bottom of the sea.
04:40 Stealing from an ancient lost city is usually a pretty bad idea,
04:51 but apparently no one told Benny that.
04:53 In all his infinite wisdom, he tries to loot Hamunaptra's treasures,
04:57 setting off a booby trap that nearly gets everyone killed.
05:00 The rest of the team escapes, but Benny isn't so lucky.
05:04 As punishment for his transgressions,
05:06 he becomes dinner for a very nasty swarm of carnivorous scarabs.
05:11 We don't actually see the body,
05:12 but since the entire city collapses in on itself soon after,
05:16 odds are Benny didn't make it.
05:18 Hey, at least he got a quick burial.
05:21 There's going out dramatically, and then there's Rasputin.
05:25 He spent the whole film getting demons to do his bidding,
05:28 and when Anastasia finally sets them free,
05:30 you could say they had a bone to pick.
05:33 In fact, by the time they're finished,
05:35 Rasputin doesn't have any bones left at all.
05:38 Without getting too graphic, he loses his soul,
05:41 his skin, and his body.
05:43 He's a bit of a pain in the ass,
05:44 but he's not a bad guy, and he's not a bad guy.
05:47 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
05:49 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
05:52 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
05:54 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
05:56 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
05:59 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
06:01 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
06:04 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
06:06 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
06:09 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
06:12 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
06:14 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
06:17 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
06:19 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
06:22 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
06:25 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
06:27 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
06:30 - Everyone wants to go out with a bang,
06:32 but this bomber pilot may have taken that idea
06:35 a bit too literally.
06:36 Although, to be fair, Major Kong's only real crime
06:39 is trying to fix the wiring on his plane's bomb doors.
06:42 The good news?
06:43 It works!
06:43 The bomb doors open and the nuke drops.
06:45 The bad news?
06:46 The bomb falls while Kong is still sitting on top of it.
06:50 Cheerful to the end, though, Kong spends his final moment
06:53 hollering like he's having the time of his life.
06:55 [SCREAMING]
06:58 Rest assured, this is an explosive sacrifice
07:02 we won't be forgetting any time soon.
07:04 - Hey, what about Major Kong?
07:05 - Number 92, Paul Oswald, "Snakes on a Plane."
07:09 - Does my premium awards membership come with sarcasm,
07:12 or should I speak to your supervisor?
07:14 - Karma can come in many forms.
07:16 For some, it's ruined relationships.
07:18 Others, it's lost money.
07:20 For this high-flying jerk, it's "Snakes on a Plane."
07:23 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
07:25 He's a good guy, and he's a good guy.
07:27 "Snakes on a Plane," more specifically,
07:29 a giant python to the head.
07:31 It sounds gratuitous, but trust us, Paul had it coming.
07:34 Throughout the film, he makes it very clear
07:36 that he only cares about Paul, Paul, and Paul.
07:40 He even rips a dog out of a woman's arms
07:42 to use as snake bait.
07:43 - I hate you!
07:44 - Freaking dog lady!
07:46 - It's poetic, then, that the same python comes back
07:48 to eat Paul for dessert.
07:50 It is the best kind of bloody satisfaction.
07:53 [SCREAMING]
07:57 - "Rod, Torque, Redline."
07:59 "Cars 2."
08:00 - Could I start it now, Professor Z?
08:01 - Uh, 50% power.
08:03 - A movie about sentient vehicles going undercover
08:07 as spies sounds innocent enough, right?
08:09 Well, it would be if not for this horrifying scene
08:12 with Rod Redline.
08:13 The American agent is captured, interrogated,
08:15 and then filled with a special kind of oil
08:17 that makes him go boom.
08:19 Yeah, the word "shocking" doesn't even begin to cover it.
08:22 - Smile, but it can't.
08:23 - Is that all you want?
08:25 I got a whole act.
08:26 - Don't forget, this is a Pixar film.
08:29 And yet, there's no sugarcoating what goes down here.
08:32 They use the word "kill" in everything.
08:34 No one could have expected that "Cars 2"
08:36 would have a death tally, let alone one so twisted.
08:39 - Kill him.
08:39 [SCREAMING]
08:43 - Number 90, James One Shade and Company, "Resident Evil."
08:47 - Move up.
08:48 - The mission here is simple.
08:52 Open the door, secure what's inside.
08:54 It sounds straightforward.
08:56 Until you realize these hallway lasers aren't just for show.
08:59 Just like that, Shade and his operatives
09:02 are forced into a crazy life-or-death game of limbo.
09:05 Oh, and the lasers fully cheat, too.
09:08 Shade shows off some slick moves trying
09:10 to avoid their cutthroat touch.
09:11 But by the time all is said and done,
09:13 he joins his team as a pile.
09:15 - Captain, you gotta hurry.
09:16 You gotta help them.
09:17 - Boom.
09:17 [ZAP]
09:18 - Down!
09:19 - "Resident Evil" can throw all the zombies it wants at us.
09:22 Nothing will top the sheer brutality of this laser maze.
09:26 Number 89, Beruk, "Karate Girl."
09:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:38 - One smoke.
09:45 [SCREAMING]
09:52 - Number 88, Olivia Castle, "Final Destination 5."
09:55 [SCREAMING]
09:56 [CRASH]
09:57 [SCREAMING]
09:59 - Number 87, Dr. Facilier, "The Princess and the Frog."
10:03 - I promise I'll pay you back.
10:04 I promise.
10:05 [ROARING]
10:08 - Number 86, the Stegosaurus, "Fantasia."
10:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:14 [ROARING]
10:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:21 [ROARING]
10:22 - Number 85, Thanos, "Avengers Endgame."
10:26 - I am inevitable.
10:30 - At the start of this crossover film,
10:32 the Avengers have a lot of avenging to do.
10:34 Although in Thor's case, it looks more
10:37 like cold, hard retribution.
10:39 When he decides Thanos is no longer of use to them,
10:42 the Asgardian offs the Titan's head right then and there.
10:45 - Perhaps I treated you too harshly.
10:47 - No warning, no mercy.
10:50 Thanos just snapped away half of the universe.
10:52 And yet his abrupt execution is what stands out the most.
10:56 Not simply because of its ferocity,
10:58 but because a freaking Avenger just decapitated someone
11:00 in cold blood.
11:01 Earth's mightiest heroes?
11:03 More like Earth's mightiest executioners.
11:06 - What did you do?
11:08 - I went for the head.
11:10 - Number 84, "The Librarian, Kill List."
11:14 - Thank you.
11:15 Thank you.
11:20 - Number 83, "Elevator Hitman, Drive."
11:27 [GUNFIRE]
11:30 Number 82, "Rory Peters, Final Destination 2."
11:47 - Rory!
11:55 - Number 81, "Maleficent, Sleeping Beauty."
11:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:02 Number 80, "Scar, The Lion King."
12:13 - Tell them the truth.
12:15 - But truth is in the eye of the beholder.
12:18 - You mess with the lion, you get the claws.
12:20 Scar tried his best to be prepared.
12:23 But after Simba reclaimed Pride Rock,
12:25 his dictator past came around to bite him in the butt.
12:28 Literally.
12:29 Remember all those hyenas he once ordered around?
12:31 They're back.
12:32 They're hungry.
12:33 And they are itching for some revenge.
12:35 - It's the hyenas who are the real enemy.
12:38 - There's no way to hakuna matata your way out
12:40 of something this vicious.
12:41 The movie thankfully pans up before things get too gnarly.
12:45 But the shadowy outline is still enough
12:47 to convince us that Scar's death wasn't quick,
12:50 and it was not painless.
12:51 - Be prepared.
12:52 Number 79, "The Killer, Hush."
12:59 [HEART BEATING]
13:03 Number 78, "Alfred, Hudson Hawk."
13:10 [GRUNTING]
13:13 - Hey, Alfred.
13:14 Alfred.
13:15 Alfred.
13:16 [GRUNTING]
13:18 Number 77, "Norman Stansfield, Leon the Professional."
13:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:26 - [BLEEP]
13:27 [EXPLOSION]
13:32 Number 76, "Captain Henry Rhodes, Day of the Dead."
13:35 [GUNFIRE]
13:37 - [INAUDIBLE]
13:42 Number 75, "Sonny Corleone, The Godfather."
13:46 [BABY CRYING]
13:46 - Listen, you're waiting.
13:47 [BABY CRYING]
13:48 Let's break down the facts.
13:49 Sonny Corleone, gangster extraordinaire,
13:52 is ambushed in his car and shot.
13:54 He manages to get outside and is shot some more.
13:57 After that, Sonny falls to the ground where he, you guessed it,
14:00 continues to be shot at.
14:02 Then, to really grind salt into the wound,
14:05 Sonny gets a good old kick to the face too.
14:07 [GUNSHOT]
14:09 As you can probably surmise, this entire scene
14:12 is a jaw-dropping display of excessive force.
14:14 But in a way, Sonny should take that as a compliment.
14:17 It took a hell of a bullet storm to take the eldest Corleone down for good.
14:21 - Look how they massacred my boy.
14:23 Number 74, "Paul Cerrone, Anaconda."
14:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:34 Number 73, "Barry Convex, Videodrome."
14:37 [GUNFIRE]
14:43 Number 72, "Richmond Valentine, Kingsman, The Secret Service."
14:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:54 Number 71, "Prom Goers, Carrie."
14:57 [GUNFIRE]
15:07 Number 70, "The Illuminati, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness."
15:12 - Black Bolt could destroy you with one whisper from his mouth.
15:14 - What mouth?
15:17 Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,
15:20 especially when that woman is a hex witch on a warpath.
15:24 To prove it, Wanda Maximoff carved a bloody trail through the multiverse
15:28 in search of her kids, eventually ending up at the Illuminati's front door.
15:32 It did not go well for them.
15:33 [GUNFIRE]
15:37 Black Bolt lost his head, and Mr. Fantastic
15:40 looked like he went through a shredder.
15:42 Oh, and Peggy Carter?
15:43 She got divided in half by her very own shield.
15:46 The list goes on, each murder gorier, scarier, and more insane than the last.
15:51 Evidently, they don't call Wanda the Scarlet Witch for nothing.
15:55 - Get the hell out of my universe!
15:56 Number 69, "Celia, Megan."
16:01 [GRUNTING]
16:08 Number 68, "Karen, Cabin Fever."
16:10 [GRUNTING]
16:16 Number 67, "Elden Tyrell, Blade Runner."
16:20 [GRUNTING]
16:27 Number 66, "Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke, Atlantis, The Lost Empire."
16:32 [GRUNTING]
16:41 Number 65, "Edward Malus, The Wicker Man."
16:44 - And that, my friend, is your destiny.
16:48 - It is your destiny.
16:50 The movie may be legendary for all the wrong reasons,
16:53 but this maligned horror remake has an unrated alternate ending
16:56 that everyone needs to see at least once.
16:59 It all comes down to two tiny words, the bees.
17:04 - No, not the bees! Not the bees!
17:07 [SCREAMING]
17:08 This is Nicolas Cage at his most unhinged, and it is truly something.
17:13 Admittedly, it's probably hard to stay grounded when you're being tortured by bees
17:17 and set ablaze in a giant wicker man.
17:19 But Cage leans so far into the absurdity,
17:22 the whole thing comes off as an unintentional farce.
17:25 For better or worse, there's no escaping the legacy of the bees.
17:29 - The drone must die!
17:33 The drone must die!
17:35 Number 64, "Lord Shen, Kung Fu Panda 2."
17:39 [SCREAMING]
17:50 Number 63, "Tatum Riley, Scream."
17:53 [SCREAMING]
18:06 Number 62, "Krug, The Last House on the Left."
18:10 [SCREAMING]
18:17 Number 61, "Nora Carpenter, Final Destination 2."
18:21 [SCREAMING]
18:29 Number 60, "Adolf Hitler and Josef Goebbels, Inglourious Bastards."
18:34 Writer-director Quentin Tarantino is known for his overblown violence,
18:38 and the third act of "Inglourious Bastards" is no exception.
18:42 - It's your best affair, monsieur.
18:44 Then again, what else would you expect from a film about assassinating
18:48 two of the most infamous Nazis in history?
18:50 - I have a message for Germany.
18:54 Right after the Jewish Shoshana hijacks Hitler's movie screening,
18:58 the entire theater erupts in flames.
19:01 The doors are barred, too, and people are raining bullets from above.
19:04 All the while, Shoshana's pre-taped footage is actually laughing at them.
19:09 Then, as the cherry on top, the whole building ends up exploding.
19:13 Yeah, the climax of "Inglourious Bastards" is a lot,
19:16 but coming from Tarantino, that's hardly surprising.
19:19 [laughing]
19:24 - Come on!
19:32 Come on!
19:34 Come on!
19:35 [yells]
19:36 Number 58, Howard Payne, "Speed."
19:39 [grunting]
19:41 Number 57, Lord Farquaad, "Shrek."
19:50 - I will have order! I will have perfection! I will have--
19:55 [yells]
19:57 [yells]
19:59 Number 56, "The Horned King, The Black Cauldron."
20:05 [grunting]
20:07 - No!
20:09 No!
20:11 [grunting]
20:13 [screaming]
20:15 Number 55, "Military Police Officers, The Mist."
20:24 - So, any boogie men? [laughs]
20:28 Arachnophobes, beware. This is not the movie for you.
20:32 Despite the name, the titular fog isn't actually the scariest part of this movie.
20:36 It's what lives in it, namely, the giant mutant spiders that like to eat military police officers.
20:42 You see, the creatures don't just web up their prey, they utterly infest them.
20:47 - Oh, God. Oh, God. No.
20:52 All we'll say is that by the time the civilian survivors mount a rescue operation,
20:57 the mother's eggs have already hatched.
21:00 Whatever you're thinking of, it's worse. Trust us.
21:03 "The Mist" definitely gets points for creativity, even if the final result is hard to watch.
21:09 [grunting]
21:11 [screaming]
21:13 [screaming]
21:15 Number 54, "Ashley and Ashlynne, Final Destination 3."
21:19 [screaming]
21:21 Number 53, "Adrienne Thomas, Jason X."
21:29 [screaming]
21:31 Number 52, "Ursula, The Little Mermaid."
21:35 [screaming]
21:37 [splashing]
21:39 [grunting]
21:41 [splashing]
21:43 [music]
21:45 Number 51, "Christian, Midsommar."
21:49 [music]
21:51 [music]
22:03 Number 50, "General Zod, Man of Steel."
22:07 There's only one way this ends, Cal.
22:09 Either you die, or I do.
22:11 Of all heroes, it's most shocking of all to see Superman with a kill count.
22:17 If the kill count doesn't take your breath away, the actual scene will do the trick no question.
22:21 At the end of "Man of Steel," Superman is given a choice.
22:25 Save an innocent family, or put Zod in the ground.
22:27 [grunting]
22:29 "Don't do this!"
22:31 One sickening neck crack later, he's made his decision.
22:35 That's right, Superman, a symbol of hope and peace, murders Zod with his bare hands.
22:41 It's a gut-wrenching moment, both in its gruesomeness and what it means for Clark's character.
22:45 We could try to sum it up, but Superman's grief-stricken roar says it all.
22:49 [screaming]
22:53 Number 49, "Frank D'Amico, Kick-Ass."
22:57 Hey, why don't you pick on someone your own size?
23:01 [music]
23:05 [screaming]
23:09 Number 48, "Howard Saint, The Punisher."
23:13 [music]
23:23 Number 47, "Steve Hadley, The Cabin in the Woods."
23:27 [music]
23:33 "Oh, come on!"
23:35 [screaming]
23:39 Number 46, "Ernesto de la Cruz, Coco."
23:43 [screaming]
23:57 Number 45, "Lucas Flannery, Transformers, Age of Extinction."
24:01 "Lucas! Lucas, above you! Run!"
24:05 In the midst of all the giant fighting robots, it's sometimes easy to forget the little guy.
24:11 Lockdown didn't though, and he greeted Lucas and the other humans the Decepticon way.
24:15 That being a massive grenade to the face. In true Transformers fashion,
24:19 there's enough slow-motion explosives to last you a lifetime.
24:23 [explosions]
24:27 To say nothing of the actual carnage. One moment Lucas is running for his life,
24:31 and the next, he is a skeleton of ash.
24:35 [roaring]
24:39 Since humans are defenseless against the Decepticons, this whole charade feels wholly unnecessary.
24:45 But, at least Lucas got to go out with a real blaze of glory.
24:49 "It's the American thing to do."
24:51 Number 44, "Agent Whiskey, Kingsman, The Golden Circle."
24:55 [music]
25:03 Number 43, "Damien Cockburn, Tropic Thunder."
25:07 "Now, let's go and make the greatest war movie ever!"
25:11 "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!"
25:15 Number 42, "Mike, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil."
25:19 [music]
25:23 Number 41, "August Walker, Mission Impossible Fallout."
25:29 [music]
25:35 Number 40, "Team One, The Suicide Squad."
25:39 "Savant is off the rails." "Savant turned back."
25:43 With a name like that, it's really no surprise that Task Force X has a high turnover rate.
25:47 But that number goes way up when Amanda Weller sends an entire squad to their deaths as a diversion.
25:52 Washing up on a beach right into an enemy ambush,
25:55 the unlucky schmucks of Team One are shot at, blown apart,
25:59 shredded by a falling helicopter, set on fire, and so much more.
26:03 Keep in mind, this is just the first few minutes of the film.
26:07 [screaming]
26:10 [explosion]
26:12 Based on that average, you won't find such a high volume of eccentric deaths anywhere else.
26:18 "Damn it."
26:20 [screaming]
26:22 Number 39, "James Franco, This is the End."
26:26 "You may not have invited me to your party, but you're the guest of honor at mine."
26:30 "What?"
26:31 Number 38, "Major Vic, Deke Deakins, Broken Arrow."
26:35 [music]
26:48 Number 37, "Senator Aaron McComb, Time Cop."
26:52 [screaming]
26:54 [explosion]
26:56 [music]
27:07 Number 36, "Georgie Denbrough, It."
27:11 [screaming]
27:13 [explosion]
27:15 Number 35, "The Assassins, John Wick, Chapter 4."
27:20 "Good news, buppers. The lottery just went up."
27:26 As if he wasn't stylish enough before, in this fourth entry,
27:30 John Wick gets a new toy by the name of a Dragon Breath shotgun.
27:34 Long story short, it shoots fire. Seriously.
27:37 [gunshots]
27:43 What follows is a one-sided massacre that's too electric to look away from for even a second.
27:49 Presented in one take from a novel top-down perspective,
27:52 John dispatches the army of assassins with finesse, flair, and, of course, fire.
27:58 [gunshots]
28:02 Is it a tad extravagant? Absolutely.
28:05 But from a franchise as consistently entertaining as John Wick, that's the way we like it.
28:09 "Last chance to win the prize before Mr. Wick's last sunrise."
28:14 Number 34, "David, Shaun of the Dead."
28:17 "Shaun."
28:19 [footsteps]
28:23 [explosion]
28:25 [screaming]
28:31 "David!"
28:32 Number 33, "Captain Darrow, The Rock."
28:35 "It's you. You're the Rocket Man."
28:38 [beeping]
28:40 [explosion]
28:45 Number 32, "Hopper, A Bug's Life."
28:48 [screaming]
28:57 Number 31, "Ethan Rourke Jr., Sin City."
29:01 [grunting]
29:05 Number 30, "Zara, Jurassic World."
29:08 "They're approaching the West Gate. I'm headed there now."
29:10 "Okay, okay. Stay right there."
29:13 Apparently, dinosaurs don't know the meaning of the word "overkill."
29:16 During the initial breakout at Jurassic World,
29:19 poor Zara is plucked from the crowd by a raging pteranodon.
29:22 [screaming]
29:25 She is dropped midair, grabbed by another pteranodon, dropped yet again,
29:30 and just when you think she's finally seen the worst of it,
29:32 a mosasaurus pops out of the water and swallows her whole.
29:35 [roaring]
29:38 [screaming]
29:43 It's so needlessly overblown, it's almost funny.
29:47 The same can be said for Simon Masrani,
29:49 who crashes a helicopter that then proceeds to explode, just 'cause.
29:53 Suffice it to say, neither of these characters appeared in the sequel.
29:57 "We don't need anyone else."
29:59 #29 - Emil Antonovsky, "Robocop."
30:02 [roaring]
30:07 [screaming]
30:12 #28 - The X-Force, "Deadpool 2."
30:15 "X-Force?"
30:17 [roaring]
30:20 [explosion]
30:22 "Oh!"
30:24 #27 - Tony Montana, "Scarface."
30:27 [screaming]
30:30 [explosion]
30:33 #26 - Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, "Con Air."
30:37 [roaring]
30:50 #25 - Kim Jong-un, "The Interview."
30:53 "I have an idea. Follow me."
30:56 In the final minutes of this satirical comedy,
30:58 James Franco and Seth Rogen realize the only way to stop a nuclear war
31:02 is to blow Kim Jong-un out of the sky.
31:05 So, that's what they do.
31:07 Naturally, it's in slow motion,
31:08 with a cover of Katy Perry's "Firework" playing in the background.
31:11 #Maybe you're a firework #
31:16 #Come on, let your colors burn #
31:20 It's certainly an inspired ending.
31:22 So much so that the real Kim Jong-un got involved
31:25 and tried to bury the interview from any kind of official release.
31:28 Considering how this movie portrays North Korea's dictator,
31:31 that kind of publicity is an unofficial badge of honor.
31:34 #Boom, boom, boom #
31:37 #Even brighter than the moon #
31:42 #24 - Jonah, "The Green Inferno."
31:46 [screaming]
31:50 #23 - Alec Trevelyan, "GoldenEye."
31:54 [explosion]
31:58 [explosion]
32:02 [explosion]
32:04 [screaming]
32:07 #22 - Deacon Frost, "Blade."
32:10 [screaming]
32:23 #21 - Deputy Nick, "Bone Tomahawk."
32:27 #21 - Deputy Nick, "Bone Tomahawk."
32:29 #21 - Deputy Nick, "Bone Tomahawk."
32:31 #21 - Deputy Nick, "Bone Tomahawk."
32:33 #21 - Deputy Nick, "Bone Tomahawk."
32:35 #21 - Deputy Nick, "Bone Tomahawk."
32:39 #20 - Hawthorne Restaurant Staff and Guests, "The Menu."
32:43 #20 - Hawthorne Restaurant Staff and Guests, "The Menu."
32:45 #20 - Hawthorne Restaurant Staff and Guests, "The Menu."
32:47 This s'mores recipe is to die for.
32:50 It starts off innocent enough with graham cracker crumbs, marshmallow sweaters, and hats made of chocolate.
32:55 But the final step really sets it apart.
32:58 To make sure the dish cooks fully through, you light up the whole restaurant.
33:02 In layman's terms, these dinner guests don't get a menu.
33:05 [explosion]
33:13 They are the menu.
33:15 In a disturbing vow of solidarity, the chefs join in too.
33:19 The sugary sadism ensures that this thriller ends with a distinctly bittersweet dessert.
33:24 But one thing is for certain, it is one hell of a last meal.
33:28 [sad music]
33:32 #19 - Puss in Boots, "Puss in Boots, The Last Wish."
33:36 "And how many times have you died already?"
33:39 "Uh..."
33:40 Most of the time, you only get to see a character die once.
33:43 Not in Puss in Boots, though.
33:45 He gives you eight gloriously extreme deaths for the price of one.
33:48 The feline is trampled by bulls, crushed by his own deadlift, and shot out of a cannon.
33:54 Another time, Puss tests the theory that cats always land on their feet.
33:58 "Cat always lands on his feet. Watch!"
34:01 To put it lightly, the results are less than satisfactory.
34:07 Altogether, we see Puss lose eight of his nine lives in a rapid-fire montage that completely goes for broke.
34:13 He won't be laughing in the face of death anymore, that's for sure.
34:16 "And remember, Boots, death comes for us all."
34:21 #18 - Vilos Kohagen, "Total Recall."
34:25 "I'll blow this place up and be home in time for cornflakes."
34:28 After spending the entire film as a greedy dirtbag,
34:31 Governor Vilos Kohagen gets sent on a one-way trip to the uninhabitable surface of Mars.
34:36 Turns out, death by space suffocation isn't very pleasant.
34:40 The man's entire face goes red and starts to blow up like a balloon,
34:43 showcasing some of the very best practical effects the 90s had to offer.
34:47 They still hold up, too.
34:52 When you combine that artistic vision with Kohagen's unrestrained screams for help,
34:56 you get a scene that perfectly tells the line between horrifying and ridiculous.
35:00 "I didn't want it to end this way."
35:02 #17 - "Joop" and "The Horse Show Spectators."
35:05 Nope.
35:06 "What we saw was a flying saucer, no doubt about that."
35:11 In horror films over the years, there have been alien abductions and there have been graphic deaths.
35:16 But there's never been anything quite like what happens in "Nope."
35:20 Joop's monetizing of a UFO sighting dooms everyone in attendance.
35:24 And once he recognizes the mistake he's made, the horror in his eyes is simply unmatched.
35:29 "Nope" doesn't stop at their abduction, though.
35:36 Director Jordan Peele gives you an up-close and personal look at what happens inside the unidentified flying object.
35:42 Calling it "disturbing" would be a massive understatement.
35:45 Actually, there's only one word capable of summing this scene up, and that's "Nope."
35:50 "Star Lasso Experience...
35:52 ...is gonna change you."
35:54 #16 - "Thunder" - "Big Trouble" and "Little China."
35:58 "I don't think he's gonna stop!"
36:00 Introduced as a so-called "elemental master,"
36:02 this guy brings the thunder by swelling up his body parts.
36:06 That's all fine and dandy until he finds his former boss, Lo Pan, dead.
36:10 Instead of working through his grief, Thunder starts growing.
36:14 A lot.
36:15 [screaming]
36:18 Feet, hands, face, you name it, it all swells up until the martial artist looks like a human bowling ball.
36:24 These days, the image of Thunder's over-inflated head is practically iconic.
36:28 Especially since, after all that, he just pops.
36:31 [screaming]
36:34 As far as villain deaths go, this one personifies big trouble like no other.
36:39 "It's all in the reflexes."
36:41 #15 - "Ocean Liner Passengers" - "Ghost Ship"
36:45 [singing in Italian]
36:51 Haven't you heard?
36:52 There's a new trend sweeping the dance floor, and it's positively killer.
36:56 If you need proof, just look at the opening scene of "Ghost Ship."
36:59 Everyone's laughing, dancing, and having a good time when suddenly a razor wire cuts in.
37:04 A moment later, it's stained red on the other side of the dance floor.
37:08 I'll let you connect the rest of the dots.
37:10 [glass shattering]
37:13 This is the epitome of an elaborate horror set piece.
37:16 Creative, efficient, and above all, bloody.
37:19 While the rest of the film doesn't quite live up to the hype,
37:22 many agree that this opening scene is pure campy fright at its finest.
37:27 [screaming]
37:30 #14 - "Dr. Kananga - Live and Let Die"
37:34 "I think you'll find those wounds quite fatal."
37:37 At the end of this spy flick, a Bond villain gets blown up, just not the way you'd expect.
37:42 During a tussle in Kananga's lair, 007 forces the double-crosser to swallow a compressed air capsule bullet.
37:48 A second later, it's goodbye Kananga and hello oversized inflatable.
37:52 Admittedly, the visual is a bit silly, but that just makes what follows even more entertaining.
37:57 The balloon man rises to the top of the cavern and pops into oblivion.
38:01 [explosion]
38:06 Exaggerated or not, it's an oddly fitting way for Kananga to go out.
38:10 As Bond says himself,
38:11 "He always did have an inflated opinion of himself."
38:14 #13 - "Candace Hooper - Final Destination 5"
38:18 "Candace, now."
38:20 [door opening]
38:21 In a franchise known for its absurdly intricate death scenes,
38:25 it's surprising that this one starts small.
38:28 A nail on a balance beam, some dripping water near an electric fan.
38:32 But when blended with shots of Candace's risky gymnastics maneuvers,
38:36 the tension becomes almost too much to bear.
38:39 It continues to build and build until, all at once, splat.
38:43 [Candace screams]
38:44 [gunshot]
38:46 Putting it nicely, Candace's landing earns a few deductions.
38:50 Unless you have a stomach of steel,
38:52 this wince-inducing descent is sure to keep you away from gymnastics
38:56 for a very, very long time.
38:58 Add it to the long list of things "Final Destination" has ruined for us.
39:03 "Nicely done, Candace."
39:05 #12 - "Judge Doom - Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
39:09 "Remember me, Eddie?"
39:11 No matter how sinister,
39:12 most evildoers would throw in the towel after being flattened by a steamroller.
39:17 But not Judge Doom.
39:18 He doesn't know the meaning of the word "quit,"
39:20 and as a reward for his dedication,
39:22 he is melted by a puddle of toon-killing doom.
39:25 [Judge Doom screams]
39:27 [screaming]
39:31 It's not a particularly quick death, either.
39:34 It starts at Doom's feet and slowly works its way up,
39:37 leaving enough time for actor Christopher Lloyd to chew a bit more scenery before he goes.
39:42 [Judge Doom screams]
39:45 Since he's clearly having a blast with the role,
39:48 it's impossible to resist laughing along with this loony turn of events.
39:52 "Boy, that act... What a genius!"
39:55 #11 - "Olga Ivanova - Suspiria"
39:58 [speaking in German]
40:04 It may look graceful, but by the time Suzy's dance is over,
40:07 Olga is dead and it's all her fault.
40:10 Unbeknownst to Suzy, her act is contorting Olga's body,
40:13 turning each move into a ballet of broken bones and grisly cries.
40:18 [Olga screams]
40:20 [Olga grunts]
40:23 There's shattered mirrors, bent limbs,
40:26 and more spine-tingling imagery than most movies have in their whole runtime.
40:30 Then, as if poor Olga hasn't suffered enough,
40:32 the Academy's matrons appear and drag her corpse away.
40:35 You can't deny the artistic merits of this lethal tango,
40:38 but that doesn't make it easy viewing by any means.
40:41 [speaking in German]
40:46 #10 - "Syndrome - The Incredibles"
40:49 "This isn't the end of it!"
40:50 At the end of the day, it's not the Omnidroid, any other Supes,
40:53 or even the Parr family that does Syndrome in for good.
40:56 It's his cape.
40:57 "Oh, no."
40:59 After a well-timed car toss destroys most of his plane,
41:02 the Mastermind and his flowing cloak are put right in the path of a high-speed jet turbine.
41:07 Syndrome tries to claw away, but, well,
41:09 there's a reason Edna Moe doesn't make super-suits with capes anymore.
41:12 "Melt a man, express elevator, diner guy snag on takeoff,
41:16 splashdown, sucked into a vortex."
41:18 Syndrome's demise is, by and large,
41:20 one of the most ferocious to come out of a Pixar film in a very long time.
41:24 Maybe ever.
41:25 "That was totally wicked!"
41:28 Totally wicked, indeed.
41:30 #9 - "Dieter von Kunz - MacGruber"
41:33 "And do you, MacGruber, take Vicky Gloria's Saint Helm?"
41:37 When you crash a wedding with a rocket launcher,
41:39 you deserve what's coming to you.
41:41 In Dieter von Kunz's case,
41:43 that includes a grade-A whooping from the one, the only, MacGruber.
41:47 [Grunts]
41:49 [Groans]
41:51 Always one for dramatics, though.
41:53 He isn't content just knocking Kunz around.
41:55 No, he fully pushes the miscreant off of a cliff,
41:58 and then shoots him to bits,
42:00 and then blows him up with a grenade.
42:02 Oh, and for maximum disrespect,
42:04 Kunz's body gets a shower from MacGruber's yellow waterfall, too.
42:08 "I do."
42:10 #8 - "William Clayton - Tarzan"
42:12 "Rounding up your little ape family will be all too easy!"
42:17 It's nighttime, lightning's flashing,
42:20 and Clayton's got a machete in hand.
42:22 The stage seems perfectly set for an epic final confrontation with Tarzan,
42:26 but that's not what happens.
42:28 Blinded by rage, the hunter hacks through every vine between him and the ape man.
42:33 Well, all of them except for the one around his neck.
42:36 [Screaming]
42:40 By the time Clayton understands what he's done, it's already too late.
42:44 Still, his terrified cries are just scratching the surface.
42:48 The very worst part of Clayton's fall from grace is knowing he did it to himself.
42:52 It is an exceedingly grim thought bound to stay with you long after the credits roll.
42:57 #7 - "Belloc, Tote, and the Nazis"
43:00 "Raiders of the Lost Ark"
43:02 "Shut your eyes, Mary, and don't look at it no matter what happens."
43:05 You know the saying, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"?
43:08 Well, obviously the same principle applies to ancient arks.
43:12 Indy has the right idea closing his eyes.
43:14 The assembled Nazis, however, were not so lucky.
43:17 [Screaming]
43:20 "Don't look, Mary, and keep your eyes shut!"
43:23 By opening the ancient artifact,
43:25 they got treated to a face-melting show of fire, brimstone, and electrical currents.
43:30 "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is technically rated PG,
43:33 but the carnage here is straight out of an R-rated horror flick.
43:36 On a brighter note, the Nazis' fate ironically speaks to yet another famous saying,
43:41 "You reap what you sow."
43:43 "Beautiful!"
43:44 #6 - "Vision, Avengers Infinity War"
43:48 "It's time."
43:49 "No."
43:50 With Thanos after the Infinity Stone in his head,
43:53 Vision gives up his life to save half the universe.
43:56 The issue? His beloved Wanda is the only one capable of destroying it.
44:00 In a scene that should come with a box of tissues,
44:03 Vision spends his final moments assuring Wanda they're making the right choice.
44:06 "We are out of time."
44:09 And yet, it doesn't matter.
44:11 Thanks to the Time Stone, Thanos undoes their heartbreak
44:14 only to pry the artifact from Vision's skull anyway.
44:17 The Avenger died twice, and half the universe went with him.
44:21 In retrospect, all Vision's heroic sacrifice did was leave Wanda with twice the trauma to unpack.
44:27 "But now is no time to mourn."
44:30 #5 - "Mrs. Tweety, Chicken Run, Dawn of the Nugget"
44:36 "I think they're gonna need a big bouquet."
44:40 Mrs. Tweety can argue all she likes,
44:43 but there is no denying these chickens got the last cluck.
44:46 After narrowly escaping a gravy-induced death in the first film,
44:49 the mischievous farmer returned in the sequel with a new evil plan -
44:53 the dreaded chicken nugget.
44:55 "Bye-bye."
44:56 "Again."
44:58 However, in a poetic turn of events,
45:00 Tweety's the only one who ends up dreaded around here.
45:03 With some not-so-helpful nudges from the other chickens,
45:06 she trips the factory's security system too.
45:09 Cue the lasers.
45:10 Since the entire complex blows apart right after,
45:13 it's safe to say Tweety's staying down for good this time.
45:16 "Watch out for the egg!"
45:19 #4 - "William Easton, Saw VI"
45:28 "If you fail, you will never see your family again."
45:32 Insurance executive William goes through blood, sweat and tears
45:35 to survive Jigsaw's twisted game.
45:37 But in the final round, it's not John Kramer who decides his fate.
45:41 It's a family he previously denied life-saving health insurance to.
45:45 "You just gave me a death sentence. I mean, who's gonna cover me now?"
45:48 The grieving clan chooses vengeance.
45:50 And since this is a Saw movie,
45:52 that means injecting William with acid and letting him burn.
45:55 It's beyond sadistic.
45:57 But then again, this is the same series that twists limbs on a rack
46:01 and puts people in reverse bear traps.
46:03 Whether Jigsaw's behind it or not,
46:05 it's clear that the Saw franchise always delivers the gory goodness.
46:09 "But I can assure you it is not without reason."
46:12 #3 - "Jesus Christ, The Passion of the Christ"
46:16 Adapting what is arguably the most prolific source material in existence,
46:25 director Mel Gibson decided to treat the text as gospel.
46:28 Well, more so than usual.
46:30 In practice, that meant faithfully portraying Jesus' crucifixion.
46:34 Blood, guts and all.
46:36 Whether you're familiar with the religious context or not,
46:39 the sheer amount of violence on display is genuinely difficult to sit through.
46:43 Taking the subject matter into account,
46:45 you can argue that it's supposed to feel excessive.
46:48 But as a piece of cinema, it's hard to appreciate that messaging
46:51 when you have to watch the scene through your fingers.
46:54 #2 - "Ally, Terrifier 2"
47:06 Art the Clown is not your average slasher villain.
47:09 Mainly because he doesn't just kill his victims, he butchers them.
47:13 Ally, bless her soul, is stabbed, sliced, bent, torn and broken
47:17 in just about every single terrifying way imaginable.
47:21 After that, yes there's more,
47:23 Art douses her in bleach and salt for no other reason than to watch her suffer.
47:28 [SCREAMING]
47:34 If you can't tell already, Ally's death is a tour de force of inordinate cruelty,
47:39 and one that we obviously will not show in its entirety.
47:42 Honestly, it's to the point that you can't even call it a murder anymore.
47:46 No, this is a splatterfest through and through.

48:04 The word "chestburster" has a legacy that speaks for itself,
48:16 and all it takes is one viewing to see why.
48:19 You can practically feel the dread in the air
48:21 as Cain begins sputtering at the dining table.
48:23 When you figure out what's happening, that dread turns into panic,
48:27 and that panic into absolute horror.
48:29 [SCREAMING]
48:31 Using groundbreaking practical effects,
48:35 there's never been anything quite as ghastly
48:37 as the moment the alien pops out of Cain's chest.
48:40 It's a good thing that no one can hear you scream in space,
48:43 because something tells us this xenomorph has caused
48:45 more than a few shrieks over the years.
48:47 How you doing?
48:49 Oh, terrific. Next silly question.
48:52 Which of these crazy deaths is your favorite?
48:55 Let us know in the comments below.
48:57 It was pretty hardcore.
