With exploding heads, chainsaw-wielding lunatics, karate-chopping, rocket launchers and high-speed blow jobs – we present 27 of the greatest movie kill scenes ever to hit the silver screen. So sit back, relax, grab a bottle of cold beer and enjoy our video homage to slaughter and mayhem. Lovely.
#27 – Planet Terror: McGowan’s machine gun leg
Is there anything more satisfying than a sexy woman with a machine gun for a leg? In this scene Cherry (Rose McGowan) realistically floats through the air and then single-handedly (or should that be single legedly?) kills a bunch of guys with a rocket launcher and machine gun for a leg. Cue explosions and sexy back arches from our heroine. Fabulous.
#26 – Smokin’ Aces: Whoops, I’ve sat on a chainsaw
The inbred-looking trailer trash Tremor Brothers shoot up a hotel and slice people up with machete knives until a guard shoots one of them dead. The remaining hillbilly grabs a giant chainsaw and furiously tries to chop said guard to pieces. Maybe it’s the lack of co-ordination that comes with being inbred, but he hits a chandelier instead, giving the guard time to shoot up in the arms and legs, causing him to fall back and sit on the aforementioned chainsaw. It’s another possibility for Beyonc? to consider next time she considers losing some weight for a movie – although it seems a bit more extreme than the Lemonade Diet.
#25 – The Big Boss: Bruce Lee karate chops through his stomach
In the final fight scene, the bad guy flings a knife at Bruce Lee. Brucey kicks it straight back into his opponents stomach, then karate chops both hands right inside the guys gut. He then leaps atop the fallen foe and delivers a flurry of 8 punches to the head. Although, oddly, there are 9 punch noises in the scene which suggests the FX guy got a little carried away!
#24 – Con Air: “Why couldn’t you put the bunny back in the box?”
When Billy Bedlam finds a parole letter in Poe’s (Nic Cage) personal belongings, he discovers the former US Ranger is a free man. Poe politely asks Bedlam to put the bunny back in the box, but Bedlam kindly refuses. A bit of a scrap ensues and ends with Bedlam skewered by an exposed steam pipe, leaving Poe to utter his cinematic gold line “Why couldn’t you put the bunny back in the box.” What’s also amazing is that not one of the serial killers on the plane even so much as heard a struggle below them.
#23 – Deep Blue Sea: Samuel L. Jackson is shark bait
In the midst of a motivational and inspiring speech about how they can beat the sharks and survive, up pops old sharky in ironic fashion to grab hold of Mr Jackson and drag him down into a watery, and bloody, grave. Classic.
#22 – Hot Fuzz: The falling church steeple
Journalist Tim Messenger is waiting to spill the beans on the huge conspiracy surrounding the seemingly pleasant crime-free village of Sandford, when he meets his unfortunate demise. His death? A giant stone block is pushed off the church steeple right onto his noggin. Ouch.

One of my favorites is from Kiss of The Dragon.
Jet Li Puts a pin into the back of the bad guys neck and he then proceeds to bleeding from every hole.
This remix is a bit gruesome.

How can you possibly have neglected the ending of Mad Max? It’s the most brutal ultimatum ever.

The end fight in Last of the Mohicans. Two bits one at the 2:30 mark and Pa’s revenge at the 6 minute mark. Not bad for a 200 year old book.

You guys are missing the greatest of them all. Ichi the Killer where he slices a guy in half (vertically) right down the middle and also leaves a room full of body parts.
