Most Shocking Death in Movies

[David]

There are plenty of rather obvious ones, like

• Janet Leigh in Psycho

But I pick the following:

• The shooting of the boy in Once Upon a Time in the West

• Evelyn Mulwray's unexpected demise in Chinatown

The one i remember most, when i was young, is a Dirty Harry movie, where in the end there was a trackdown scene at an amusement park...and the bad guy fell from the top of a rollercoaster (or something) right onto a Unicorn's horn through his gut. I'm sure it's not the worst, but it really stuck with me. Oh, and when that beam falls into the gym teacher's gut in Carrie...

[estranged4life]

really ended in a death, Even though the scene in the movie was tame:

Brandon Lee in the Crow


Though I do recall the way the girl in the movie "the Hitchhiker" died as gruesome (But original):

Tied hands to the back of a tractor trailer and her legs tied to the semi truck...Add one truck in gear, And Snap!!!, No more girl. Man, That is one messed up (But original) way to off someone.

the shooting of brandon teena in "boys don't cry" ( i am from omaha which isn't far from where all this happened , so it is real brutal 2 me~
the shooting of the little girl standing by the ice cream truck in "assault on precinct 13"
the end of "the house of sand & fog"
the death scene in "the life of david gale"
some of the deaths in those "final destination" movies r pretty freaky deaky also~

Favorite.movie.ever. (ok, not favorite, but i love it) Also, now i have to add the beautifully shot death scene from Bound, where the blood just makes a pool...I guess that's more of a pretty death scene, though...

For me it's Mufasa from The Linon King And another shocking death fro me was Randy in Scream 2.

[Nixxxed]

The worst for me: the scene in Scarface where Al Pacino's brother gets his face chainsawed off.

You don't actually see it, but it gets close enough that I've never been able to watch that movie since. Whenever I see it on TV, I have to change the channel quickly, because I'm afraid that scene is next.

I remember crying in the movie theater. I think it's the most devastating moment in a Disney movie.

(And I don't want to hear anyone laughing at me for placing that much importance on a Disney movie).

The most devastating Disney moment for me is the scene where Dumbo finally gets to see his mother one last time and swings on her trunk. Sure, he gets to see her again, but she'll spend the rest of her life in that little train car for simply trying to protect him.

The one that stuck with me was the first scene of Cliffhanger Stallone's veins are popping out and after building the suspense the woman just drops (following her teddy bear) right into the canyon. I expected Sylvester to be all heroic and pull her up before she fell, but nooo. That was one of my first death scenes as a little kid.

Just some:

Ivan in Childhood of Ivan by Tarkovsky: the most shocking and heartbreaking for me, a movie on the side of the war victims

Roberto Benigni in La vita è bella: A last joke to keep his child dreaming.

Olga in Slave Of Love by Michalkov: She's the only passenger on a trolley car followed by the White Army. As the trolley slows down, she turns towards the soldiers who are closer and closer end very quietly tell them how dishonorable they are...

Thelma and Louise in Thelma & Louise by Ridley Scott: even if they probably bounced, right?

John Merrick in The Elephant Man by David Lynch: he wants to sleep for once like all the others.

Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? by Robert Zemeckis
