Best death in a movie. Contains SPOILERS!!! You've been warned.

I'd mention HAL in 2001, but they were able to revive him in 2010, so it;s not a death scene.

The death of the Treadstone agent nicknamed 'The Professor' in The Bourne Identity'. "Look at this. Look at what they make you give"


The deaths of Gorman and Vasquez in Aliens

"You always were a asshole, Gorman"


The death of Professor Broom in Hellboy. Now there's a dignified death!

The death of Vincent in Collateral.

I'd forgotten about this - for a character that's only in it for all of five minutes it's a very poignant scene and sums up the entire franchise perfectly

Sad ones for me would include:

Cillian Murphy execution in The Wind That Shakes The Barley.
Also that soldiers who runs (like the wind) to his certain death at the end of Galipoli.

A really disturbing one was a movie I can't remember the name of but Ewen Bremner gets shot in the back of the head. He doesn't die straight away but he starts screaming knowing that he's dying. It was harrowing.

Wade in Saving Private Ryan. It's sad, undignified, pathetic, and almost unwatchable.

I wouldn't be surprised if it had been inspired by the death of Cowboy in Full Metal Jacket.

I always thought the end of Leon: The Professional was great.

You think he made it out against all the odds..

BAM shot in the back and killed NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Before he dies gives Gary Oldman the grenade and Oldman see's the other strapped to his chest just before they explode YEEEEEEEEAH REVENGE KILL

I've no idea of the name.

execution in Black Sails (S04E03) by

Mufasa in the Lion King....serious punch in the feels there. I think an entire generation were traumatized by it!

Also Bambi's Mother.

So amazing to think that Disney thought the Lion King would be a huge flop of a movie, and put all the major efforts into Pocahontas.
That's not a joke-the major talent was put on Pocahontas, bar a few folks like Andreas Deja, and Aaron Blaise, and the Bancroft bros.

Has anyone mentioned old Yeller yet?

Such a heartbreaking scene. Wow. I remember it.

Best performance by a child actor ever. Period. Gets me every single time.

I spoke about sad or disturbing death scenes but one scene I enjoyed and actually laughed at was when Frank Nitty was launched off the roof by Elliot Ness only to go crashing face first through the roof of a car in The Untouchables.

Still kinda laugh thinking about it. I think that would qualify as a great death scene.

Edge of tomorrow had too many to count.
The truck scene was a standout, but that movie really delivered and Brendan Gleeson knocked it out of the park.

An honest mistake. I forgot it was still out in the cinema so didn't think about the spoilers.

Although you never see the deaths, one of the most hard hitting and poignant scenes ever is the last ever blackadder scene "goodbyeee"

In the absence of a poll we need somebody to go through this thread to add up the scores. I'm guessing/hoping its Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer's) death scene in Blade Runner.

Littlefoot's mom in Land before Time...I f****ng lost it as a kid. Watched a day or two later-same damn result. Don Bluth eh-torture us as kids then give us a happy ending so we're all good...Well we're not Don, We're Not!!!

Also, the ending to All Dog's Go to Heaven-didn't cry as a kid, but it was just the sadness of it all. And knowing what happened to the actress who played the little girl-darn sad. Another Don Bluth one.

HAchi in a Dog's tale. Just watch it-it's brutal on me. Have the DVD at home-never trading it.

Sam going to heaven in Ghost. Yeah, he's dead at the beginning. Yes, it's just a movie-but dammit, when Unchained Melody plays, and suddenly she can hear him, and see him...I get a lump in my throat. Swayze brings back a lot of positive memories for me-his movies were like a family thing, my grandparents always had those movies, and always wanted him to beat his cancer, and make a huge comeback. Sadly, it didn't happen. He had more talent than some of the wasters out there-Seagal I'm looking at you.

UP goes without saying-also Nemo's mom in Finding Nemo-the music, the 'never getting to say goodbye'. Can't do it man. Didn't think it would affect me again, after rewatching it.

Inside Out-Bing Bong. Wasn't a fan of the movie, but no-no Pixar...why you do this?

Alex Murphy in Robocop-the original...JEsus, they just won't stop...I saw it as a teen and was shocked, barely able to concentrate on the rest of the movie.

yeah bing bong in inside out got me too

I loved both Kill Bill's but Kill Bill 1 was my favourite of the 2. I'm going to go with quantity here and pick the Bride vs the crazy 88 and Gogo. Such a well choreographed scene.

Eh? Beat to death and bury alive?

Several of the deaths in The Thing are amazing for their magnificent ghastliness.


The death of O-ren Ishi in Kill Bill.

Cleric Brandt in Equilibrium.

He was built up so much, too bad his fight lasted a few seconds, but what a way to go!

At 0:10 - how did he not see the two lads that pop out right behind him? They would have literally been directly to the left and right of him!?!?

The kitchen fight scene in The Raid 2 was unbelievably good with a great death scene. For anyone who has not seen The Raid films i highly recommended them.

Death of a Superhero. You knew it was coming... but you're not prepared for it when it does. It goes beyond sad and left me feeling numb and empty for days. Fantastic movie!

Agreed, I absolutely love that movie.

Interesting fact, Cecep Arif Rahman (the bad guy in that scene) was a primary school english teacher in his native Indonesia when he was asked to be in this movie due to his martial arts background and skill with a Kerambit (the knives used in this scene)

There is a clip on youtube of him in Dublin last year training students in the martial art Pencak Silat, really nice guy by all accounts.


The fight scene immediately before the good guy walks into the kitchen, where he fights the guy with the metal bat and the girl with the 2 hammers, is equally brutal.

He saw them. He just didn't care.
