Favorite Death Scene

[bushwhacker2k]

Geeky as it is: the death of Sturm Brightblade at the end of Dragons of Winter Night (second of the original Dragonlance books).

I really wish I had a cooler death moment to reference, I really do.

Yayyyyyyyyy! Time to add you as a friend, best book series EVER. Actually going to reread it NOW.

As much as I love Travolta, Vincent Vega's death in Pulp fiction cracked me up so hard. Pop tarts + mini uzi + Bruce Willis = epic death scene for Vincent Vega.

 

[bushwhacker2k]

These are the best death scenes in Cinema history.

Spoiler: Garbage Day!

Spoiler: OMFG BASKETBALL

Oh my god... that was so awesome...

Grom from Warcraft III.
King Terenas from the same.
The nuke part in Mass Effect.
Also the death of Tenpenny in San Andreas.

I was Going to say Grom As well and also in fable1 when your mother get killed.

In PHANTASMAGORIA: A PUZZLE OF THE FLESH!!! a guy gets his hands pierced with pancils, mouth stapled shut with an industrial stapler and finally cut from stem to stern with a box cutter. All live action!!

edit: AN, not A

phantasmagoria the search for the missing wallet

(that death is great by the way)

...You mean I'm not the only one who watches The Spoony Experiment?

No you are not my friend. No you are not.

Sad deaths = Aeris in FFVII: Only time I have EVER been made to cry by a game; Zack in Crisis Core: It was sad to see him go once you actually got to know him; Gandalf/Boromir in LOTR: knew it was coming, but it was done so well that it was sad as hell.

Awesome deaths = Dinobot in Beast Wars, Scirocco in Zeta Gundam, Alex Row in Last Exile, Katsumoto in The Last Samurai.

Funny Deaths = Paris Hilton in House of Wax, Gates in Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid, the random gang member in Watchmen who gets his arm broken open by Silk Spectre and then is shot by his friend 3 times, the ten English soldiers in The Three Musketeers who get a wall pushed on top of them while interrupting the musketeers' breakfast.

My favorite serious, dramatic death scene is in Watchmen,

Spoiler

When Dr. Manhattan makes Rorschach explode.

My favorite over-the-top, ridiculous death scene is in Wanted,

Spoiler

When Fox fires a bullet in such a way that it not only curves, but does so in a 360-degree arc with a ~10-foot diameter, passing through several people's heads and finally into her own.

Certainly not a 'favorite' death scene, but the most memorable to me was from Full Metal Jacket. The bathroom scene with Joker, Pyle, and Hartman. It still sticks with me as one of the most surreal, messed up death sequences I've ever watched. If you haven't seen it, I don't want to directly spoil a major part of the movie. Still, if you haven't seen Full Metal Jacket you need to. I'll provide a link to the video for those curious, it has Adult Language, Violence, and Adult Situations.

I think I saw it mentioned once here, but it deserves another one:

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness near the Tanhauser gate.
All these moments, lost in time... like tears... in rain.

Time to die.

[TimeLord]

CoD4 where you crawl through the nuclear fallout, your own death in fallout 3 (assuming you chose that), Issac's death in Dead Space, Obi-wans death in Episode iv, Starkillers death in Force Unleashed (assuming you chose that path), Agent Smith's first death in the first Matrix film

Best and most downright shocking death scene. Keithy George dying in Chopper. Australian members here will remember this one. When I first saw this scene I was seriously disturbed. The fact that this is a true story makes it a little better haha.

 

[Samuel Adams]

Umm, can't really think of anything right now so I'll stick with this.

Spoiler: =)

When Beatrice(spelling?) uses the 5 point palm exploding heart technique on Bill in Kill Bill volume II.

 

[bouncymike999]

[Sentient6]

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
And the you die. Awesome.

Spoiler: By our man, Neil Gaiman...

The death of a Dream, specifically the black-haired Dream of the Endless, which he had masterfully done in setup and action and aftermath.

 

[NoriYuki Sato]

Major Stroud ((Anya's Mother)) with Anya listening to her Mother's death and Carlos Santiago in Gears of War: Aspho Fields. it's so depressing it just hits hard and leaves a depressing image in your mind..
