Hay. I just saw "Total Recall" again yesterday, which brought back some thoughts I had - funny death incidents (if the words "funny" and "death" can ever be linked together. "Total Recall" is, by far, the most excessively violent movie I've ever seen. In fact, to such extents, that it's often ludicrously funny. Therefore, I've created this thread to create different categories about on-screen deaths, and you tipping off your opinion on them. I'll just go ahead and start.
Most excessive on-screen death (In the style of "Allright! Allright! We get that he's dead!"): "Total Recall" claims this one. Schwarzenegger is stuck in an escalator, three UZI-toting villains run after him. One poor sap is in between them and is, almost literally, shot to pieces by the three villains. I mean, I'm talking a minimum of 60 shots applied to his torso! Director got his point across real good on this one.
Most brutal escape in the history of movies: "Total Recall" nails another one. Strapped into a chair that's supposed to brainwash him, Schwarzenegger goes berzerk. He rips loose one of the metal things that were used to restrain him into the chair, and it seems that it was bolted into the chair by a long nail. A scientist tries to stop him, causing Arnie to slam the giant metal hand-restrainer (along with the metal spike) into the throat of the scientist. The result is an enormous gashing wound, spewing blood, in the throat of the scientist. Another couple of scientists come running to stop him - Arnie dispatches them with some ol' fist-slinging. Now comes the real shocker - the last scientist gets a frickin' metal rod shoved up his cranium in a funny angle, again with blood-spewing results. It's even worse than it sounds.
Funniest on-screen death: This one goes to "Out of Sight". Since I didn't see it from the beginning, I don't know the full set of events leading up to the incident, but I'll do my best.
There's this big-boned, clumsy guy who's the antagonist of George Clooney. When they all break into a house, the clumsy guy has Clooney in his sights. "Don't move", he warns Clooney, and proceeds to walk up the stairs to handcuff him. Guess what happens, if not that he trips on the frickin' stairs and blows his on head off! It may not seem that funny, but if you've seen the movie, you'll definately know what I'm talking about. It's as if all his clumsiness peaked into a climax, leading to his hilarious demise.
Best firefights: Many movies are up to par for this one.
Heat - intro, final bankrobbing scene.
Equilibrium - every firefight in this movie looks cool.
The way of the gun - despite the plot being a f%ยค#ing mess, this movie
had some extremely well-done firefights.
Feel free to nominate your own nominees in the categories I've mentioned, as well as adding your own categories. Just keep in mind to keep it on topic.
