Discuss: Worst Death Scene Ever???
Filed under: Fandom
There are bad death scenes ... and there are BAD death scenes. Tooling around online today, I came across a post over on Buzzfeed where folks were passing around this ridiculously cheesy death scene from a movie called Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987). The scene itself involves a skateboard assassin who for some odd reason carries a blow-up doll (for a shield?) as he skates toward his targets -- two muscle heads driving a jeep. Unfortunately for our blow-up doll lovin' skateboarder, those dudes he's going after are packing ... a bazooka! Oh yes, they break out the bazooka for this poor man's Michael Bay-inspired action sequence. I really don't want to say anymore, so just watch the scene below and have a blast.But that got me thinking: No, I wasn't wondering whether Hard Ticket to Hawaii was available for purchase on DVD (it is, actually, over at Amazon) -- instead, I thought it'd be fun on this glorious Friday afternoon to talk about the worst death scenes of all time. So sound off in the comments below -- link to as many random YouTube videos as you want -- and share with us the death scenes you feel are just the absolute worst ever. Is this bit from Hard Ticket to Hawaii the worst, or do you have one in mind that tops this?

Worst, meaning most disturbing for me is without question Casino. Joe Pesci watches his own brother beaten to death then is left nearly beaten to death to be buried alive.

Simply as one of those "THAT just happened!?" moments, I would put forth the death of the cat in Boondock Saints. If you've seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, I won't spoil it. The icing on the cake is, of course, "Is it dead?"

That is freakin' awesome. You can't call it the worst, because it's supposed to be funny. I think.
The worst death scene for me is when Brad Pitt gets hit by the car in Meet Joe Black. Takes you right out of the movie.

Worst as in "good grief that was dumb"? Easily Marlon Wayans in 'Dungeons & Dragons'.

I'm not sure what's more scary, that guy's ponytail or the inflatable doll filled with flammables.

Any death in the Toxic Avenger movie. They are so cheesy they are great. I particularly get a kick out of the kid on the bike who gets run over. What mother lets their child ride a bike in the middle of the night?

Mattman is onto something with the Toxic Avengers. While watching this clip, I couldn't help thinking of TA IV: Citizen Toxie where alternate Sgt. Kabukiman takes out a woman with a walker during a police car chase. Troma, not being ones to rest on their laurels, then have Sgt. Kabukiman (despite being chased by cops) drives the car back around again to run over the head of the elderly woman. The police cars follow, also driving over the head, all the while the woman's body is expelling more excrement than could possibly contained by the human body.

Ironically some of these are actually the worst movie deaths ever.
