When we go to movies, action/drama/sci-fi (etc), when the villain or hero gets killed, it either wows us or disappoints. This is my top ten list of that 'wow' moment.
10. Green Goblin's death, Spider-man (2002)
This whole fight scene is pretty epic. The whole time Green Goblin is kicking Spidey's ass but when Gobby starts mocking New York's favorite hero, things go down hill for him after that. This death is so epic, so quick, so...'oh'.
9. Ra's Al Ghul's death, Batman Begins (2005)
Quite possibly the best line in any CBM comes in this death scene right here, when Batman says, 'I won't kill you. But I don't have to save you.' As Batman glides away from the doomed train, Ra's Al Ghul realizes he has met his maker-closes his eyes and is done for when the train falls of the rail and explodes after destroying a parking structure. EPIC.
8. Nazi's death, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Not only is this awesome, but Iconic and historical. Back then, this blew people away and scared them. Even 'The Rock' said he was frightened by this. (Well when he was a kid). Kudos to the special effect's team.
7. Megatron's death, Transformers (2007)
This was a thrilling moment indeed when Sam chooses not to put the cube into Optimus's chest but rather into Megatron, thus killing the evil robot once and for all (or so we thought..)
6. Jango Fett's death, Attack of the Clones (2002)
Jango Fett Owned Obi-wan earler in the movie (twice, actually) but couldn't defeat Sammy. He was doomed from the start when Mace was charging at him. Pitty. Had potential for later films. Nahhh. Boba was better.
5. Mace Windu's death, Episode 3 (2005)
Poor Sammy. He could've ended it right here but instead took his sweet earned time and let Anakin chop off his hand, thus allowing Sideus to shout, 'Unlimited Power!' as he is zapped out of the window. Oh don't worry Samuel. You'll redeem yourself in the avengers.
4. Toilet Death scene, Jurassic Park (1993)
Not only is this an awesome way to go out, but its also an embarrassing way as well. Come on. Don't you wish you would've gone out in dignity instead of being eaten off of a toilet? I can see this is the way Joel Schumacher dies...
3. Leo's death, The Departed (2006)
I'm pretty sure none of us saw this coming when we saw this movie. At this point where Leo and Matt are in the elevator, we think that Matt's days of being the rat are officially over. But as the doors slide open, we jump or flinch in our seats after Leo's brains are splattered over the wall.
2. Eddie's Death, The Lost World Jurassic Park (1997)
Simply, this scene is just [frick]in' awesome. With a beautiful score by the legendary John Williams, and two realistic looking t-rex's created by the legendary Stan Winston, this scene tops the others below it. First of all, you know you're doomed when two T-rex's are by your car. If you're eddie, you're reachin' for that gun because you're in denial.
1. Darth Maul's bitter end, Phantom Menace (1999)
I both love and hate this death. I hate it because I wish they would've kept Maul alive for future films. Love it because its so awesome. Once again, Williams gives us a great score as the best sith to hit the big screen is chopped in half by Obi-wan. After all of that ass-kicking, Maul gets cocky and allows a padawan to send him packin'. He may have not been in future installments for Lucas's universe, but his death lands (pun intended) him in my #1 death scene spot.
well that's it for me.
