Oh Man, I Shot Marvin in the Face.
Pulp Fiction has some great moments, but none as good as this. Vincent and Jules are driving with Marvin in the backseat. They are having a philosophical debate about God’s intervention into the shooting that just took place back at the apartment. Vincent turns, resting his massive handgun on the back of the seat, to ask Marvin’s opinion. Just at the end of the question, the gun accidentally goes off, plastering Marvin’s brains all over the back window.
Opera
Dario Argento made some fantastic movies. Opera is no exception. The scene that stands out in this one (aside from the crow eating the eyeball) is where Betty is tied up by the murderer who tapes needles under her eyes, so she can’t blink. Her boyfriend comes back from making her a cup of tea to find her tied up. Confused, he slowly approaches her. As he gets close, a knife is thrust up into his neck so deep it ends up in his mouth. He drops to his knees and then gets absolutely butchered. Sadly, he gets killed to horrible 80s rock music which I don’t think he saw coming either.
Alien Chest Burst
This one has to be on the list because this scene was a total surprise for everyone in the room. The whole crew of the ship is sitting around the table having a meal. Everyone is in good spirits and Kane seems to have suffered no ill effects from his encounter with the “Face hugger”. Happy team, bonding together, breaking bread . . . .until Kane starts to cough and convulse, ending up on his back on the table as the alien punches through his chest and escapes into the ship. What a terrible way to end a meal.

first off your a complete joke for nt liking the departed … second of all its not mark wahlberg aka marky mark who hes tlaking to in the elavator when he gets blown away its mad damon you retard no wonder you dont like the movie you know nothing about it……. and as for a surprising death samuel jackson in deep blue sea later moron
when you can’t write a cohesive sentence or spell MATT correctly, don’t call other people retards. and for the record, The Departed sucked.
I just want to agree with Weston here. Don’t call people retards when, by the way you talk, you just sound like an illiterate, good-for-nothing piece of trash.
The Departed really sucked, too. Highly disappointed.
it’s “you’re” “talking” “elevator” “Matt” name calling makes you sound like you’re in jr high.
If you’ve seen Pitch black (the GOOD Riddick movie) you probably know about the death of the lead actress at the very end of the film. It’s genuinely surprising and not just because it comes at a moment when you least expect it. At first it appears that the injured Riddick (who she is currently rescuing) has accidentally stabbed her with the shiv that he’s holding by his side. however just a moment later she’s propelled into the sky, dragged into the dark night by one of the flying piranha-like bat monsters. It caught me off guard and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Disregard the guy above, (randomly Raging jackass…) he’s correct about it being MATT Damon but it’s honestly irrelevant anyway. I don’t agree that Samuel L’s death in deep blue sea was surprising though. most people saw it coming. I know I did. He stands directly next to a porthole that we JUST SAW a shark in. People were genuinely surprised that he was killed? Wow.
poor Bullet-tooth Tony in Snatch …
This is a bad list. It is not a misspelling he doesn’t even know which actor played which role. The Departed didn’t suck, other than Pulp Fiction and The Departed this list is made up of a lot of horrible movies. Who cares
Obviously you do, since you took the time to sneer at it.
How about Walsh in Serenity? Talk about just… boom. Gone.
Also, the blinding-fast conclusion of To Live And Die in L.A. where both hero William Peterson (Chance) and villain William Dafoe (Masters) are blown away in under 10 seconds. Oops, I spoilered the movie.
Bus out of Nowhere, in “Final Destination.”
Not to mention the pane of glass, and the pipe through the back of the head.
no way – every death in the Final Destination movies is supposed to be “out of nowhere” so much so that you’re expecting all of them.
Deep Blue Sea, Samuel Motherfucking Jackson gets eatin by the Motherfucking Shark
Nuff said.
What about Brad Pitt in Burn After Reading. Totally was not expecting that! OR Drew Barrymore in Scream
Yes, Burn After Reading!
How about Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black, Did not expect that from a chick flick.
How about The Forgotten, when the black lady explaining things to Julianne Moore gets sucked into the sky out of nowhere?
Yes, that one made me jump! We had no idea it was coming, that was pure genius.
I was shocked when Jullian Moore died in Children of Men
To add…Leo Di Caprio in The Departed. I mean the elevator doors open…and bam…shot dead.
What about Ellen Page (Boltie)’s death in the film Super? Totally unexpected and extremely brutal!
Seconded.
yes!
Christina Hendricks in Drive!
Obviously not a character, but the poor kitty cat in The Boondock Saints that gets blown away by Rocco. Classic.
haha – yep
Steven Segal in Executive Decision
A very pleasant surprise that one. All his movies would be better if he died suddenly ten minutes into each and every one of them.
Jeepers Creepers & the Mist!! I hate the ending!!!
Now Matt Damon is Marky Mark,,,, pfffffff
great list! i saw the title of this and i immediately thought “i shot marvin in the face”
glad to see it included
what about bill murray in zombieland ;-p
as for serious suggestions: clooney shooting brad pitt in burn after reading about made me swallow my tongue
also Assault On Precinct 13and deep blue sea
The cat in Boondock saints…
The skateboard kid that pasted by the bus out of no-where in End of Days…
what about “aim for the bushes” in the other guys?
How how Executive Decision where Steven Seagal dies in like the first 15 minutes? I about passed out. LOL
The father’s decapitation scene at the end of “Phenomena” (AKA Creepers).
How about the invisible horseman in The Three Amigos
What about Thelma and Louise in… Thelma and Louise?
Didn’t expect them to give up LIKE THAT!
What about the original surprise death – psycho?
Wrong Turn 4, the double decap scene at the very end…wow
Planet terror had a very unexpected death.when the little boy mother gave him a gun and said if anybody comes to the car shoot them. Moments later he shot himself in the face.. lol.. it was shocking and hilarious at the same damn time.
Where’s red dawn with Chris Hemsworth?
The judge in Law Abiding Citizen,
I vote for Drew Barrymore in Scream. The whole marketing for the movie at release had listed her as the lead character, then wham, ten minutes in and she’s hanging from a tree… Quintessential surprise death.
How about DeNero in 15 Seconds. His name was above the damn title and they offed him 12 thru the film.
Sorry, meant to say “1/2 way thru the film.”
How did this awesome scene from an awful movie not make the list? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waRRmXtw8VY
I will give Carrion hell for it
How can you forget Brad Pitt’s horrible and totally unexpected death in Meet Joe Black?
Good call. Thanks for the suggestion I will be sure to give Carrion hell for this as well
Any of you above who thought The Departed was just okay should re-evaluate their lives and not watch movies anymore unless you like piles of shit
At the end of Paranah when the dude get eaten right as he says the fish were all dead
serenity; “i am a leaf on the wind………..”
