Most ridiculously over-the-top death in a movie?
Some nominations:

- The main bad guy in Con Air.

- The guy who gets "squared" in Resident Evil.

- Any of a couple dozen deaths in the various Cube movies.

Your picks?

1. Anybody who dies and then wasn't quite dead
like the lady in Fatal Attraction and all the Terminator movies. (although the T movies ROCK)

8. HOLY! FUCKING! SHIT!
"We are then treated to the single greatest stupidity chain in film history. While this kid tries to simultaneously cook some frozen meatballs (in a dirty pan, I mean really...) and listen to his answering machine messages while admiring his new expensive jewelry (he’s a lottery winner). This Darwin Award candidate manages to trap his hand in the sink drain just as a massive grease fire leaps off his meatballs and into the conveniently well stocked heap of cardboard beside the stove as his microwave explodes from trying to cook a fridge magnet. He manages to free his hand but the fire extinguisher doesn’t work. Deciding it’s better to leave then burn to death (it took him several seconds to make this decision) he breaks the window and clamors down the fire escape, trips on some previously discarded spaghetti, and dies as the fire escape ladder squishes his head."

The truly amazing thing is that the comedy is unintentional. :wow:

11. I LOVED the bus scene!

on edit: but this is a great metaphor :D
Another significant problem with this film is that the characters are about as deep as a piss-puddle on a summer parking lot.

5. Titanic.
I thought the damn ship would never sink. So I kept cheering for the iceberg and the Atlantic Ocean.

:boring:

7. When the evil guy dies in Ghost
He gets guillotined by a falling window pane, and then you see his tortured soul going to hell. :eyes:

9. The third and fifth killings in I Spit On Your Grave
The third killing (the guy in the bathtub--if you've seen the movie you know what I'm talking about and if you haven't seen it you REALLY don't want to know) is THE most over-the-top death in any movie ever made. The fifth killing (the boat motor) is also pretty fucked up.

10. (nudity in post) Probably the fat guy in "Terror Firmer"
who gets mauled by an axe and then fed into an escalator.



Another favorite is from Fudoh, where a girl, working in a strip club, takes out a blow-pipe & uses her vagina to propel a dart through a guys skull (entering via the ear) where it sticks to a wall - complete with attatched brain matter.

13. One of the Dalton-Bond flicks, I think "License to Kill"
The "bad guy" is put into a decompression chamber and slowly inflates until his head blows up. It's really unnecisarily gory for a series of movies that I think are less spy and more slapstick.;
