A selection of the most spectacular “deaths” in cinema (13 photos)
The death of one of the main movie characters is almost always the most climactic moment in the entire film. Accordingly, this scene should squeeze maximum emotions out of the audience! And surely each of you can name a couple of such episodes that caused a storm of feelings in you. The audience remembered scenes that, in their opinion, were the most spectacular. What epic “movie deaths” do you think are missing here?
Cutler Beckett
Death on one's own ship is a fitting end for a captain. It’s no wonder that this scene from the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” (2007) became viral among Internet users.
Lord Blackwood
In the film Sherlock Holmes (2009), right before Blackwood’s death, Sherlock utters words that will prove fateful for the former:
First the world will see you for what you are, a fraud, then you will be hanged for real.
Casey Baker
It wasn’t even the death itself that was spectacular, but the fact that the role of the victim was played by Drew Barrymore, very popular at the time of the release of the film “Scream” (1996), and the moment at which she died.
Boromir
Known for his ability to play the lost, Sean Bean performed his role with pride and dignity in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001).
Yondu
We love James Gunn for his skillful blend of humor and seriousness, and he also skillfully gives Yondu a fitting death at the peak of his late fatherhood (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, 2017).
Donald Gennaro
Well, you don’t even need to add anything here. Actor Martin Ferrero is remembered as the same man who played the character who died while sitting on the toilet in the film Jurassic Park (1993).
John Coffey
“I’m sorry that I’m like this,” are the last words of a man with a capital letter, because of whose unjust execution even the guards cried (The Green Mile, 1999).
Dr. Shaw
A Cruel Defeat for a Cruel Man: In this scene from X-Men: First Class (2011), Magneto kills Shaw with a coin.
Bellatrix Lestrange
The death of this villain in the last part of Harry Potter was very spectacular: not only all the Weasleys were proud of their mother, but the audience was proud of them too.
Major Kong
Death riding an atomic bomb like a cowboy is a fitting death for the desperate major from Stanley Kubrick's film Dr. Strangelove, or How I Stopped Being Afraid and Loved the Bomb (1964).
Rorschach
The hero of the film “Watchmen” (2009) desperately defends his principles and does not die at the hands of the enemy.
O-Ren Ishii
The incredibly beautiful and epic snowy fight between two Tarantino ladies in the film “Kill Bill” (2003) went down in cinematic history.
Roy Batty
One of the most touching monologues about death, “Tears in the Rain,” is spoken by Rutger Hauer’s character in the film Blade Runner (1982).
