351647, can we do a "great movie death" post?
Posted by PlanetInfinite, Wed Feb-20-08 03:04 AM
this is after seeing cyrus the virus get taken out in the most comedic way possible.

Underrated fight scene too, IMO.

EDIT: Watching it now, even though I love the score to this movie, it is kind of a strange choice to have a riverdancing jig as the soundtrack to your Native American showdown.

Similar to the (spoiler for the ultra-late) Tim/Dawn kiss in the BBC version of The Office, it hits you hard because until that point, you didn't even realize you were all that emotionally invested in the characters.

Both Bridget Fonda and Chris Tucker in Jackie Brown.

Steven Segal in Executive Decisions.

Okay it pissed me off but Keith David in They Live, just out of sheer WTF?!? value.

Dennis Hopper in True Romance, because that scene is poetry.

When the Dane gets killed in Miller's Crossing. This one is random but I'll never forget that scene: dude screaming in the background, Dane getting wacked in the face then shot "Always put one in the brain." The movie gets so intense and crazy all of a sudden.

The 'villian' at the end of Oldboy.

Sonny's death in the first Godfather.

The end of Sonatine. Few action movies have hit me with an ending like that.

Why does Tom say the Dane made him do it when Caspar is getting pissed off at Drop for yelling? I never understood that part.
351764, if I remember
Posted by BigWorm, Wed Feb-20-08 02:13 PM
I mean I'm pretty sure Tom was trying to get Caspar to kill the Dane, cause the Dane was to slick on the take. Tom would never be able to get everything to work with the Dane at Caspar's side. The Dane had to go, the only way was to make him seem like a traitor.

Is that what you meant?

Naw I got that part. Tom made it seem like The Dane made that guy do all the random yelling & screaming but maybe I'm just reading too much into it. I'll have to see it again.

made infinitely cooler by the setting sun in the background casting a blood red hue over the entire scene.

and the final scene with Arthur sailing off to Avalon with the Three Maidens, illuminated by a light from the heavens, set to Siegfried's Funeral March by Wagner. fantastic.
