Cinemorgue

Surely you often ask yourself, "How many gruesome screen deaths has my favorite actor or actress died, and in what films?"

No? Not a common question of yours?

Nonetheless, you will probably still find Cinemorgue somewhat fascinating.

Maybe WU-vies will share their favorite cinematic death scenes with others. The weirder, the better, of course.

Dr. Franknfurter (and his creature, Rocky) are both killed by his servant cum commander at the end of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It takes a number of shots from the laser gun before Rocky finally dies, while climbing a mock radio tower with Franknfurter on his back, and they both plunge into the swimming pool, the radio tower falling with them .

Scarface chainsaw death, one of cinema's greats, only matched by the drill death in Body Double.

I thought Kevin Kline in "A Fish Called Wanda" Getting rolled over by a steamroller driven by Michael Palin as "Ken" and teasing him " K-K-K-Ken
is T-T-T-Trying to K-K-K-Kill me!!", Then I remembered that he survived!(the cement was wet!) :lol: :coolsmile:

Once I saw a cheap horror flick where the killer rigged a microwave to run with the door open. Then he tied this guy up and stuck his head in the microwave and turned it on. The guy started counting backwards out of sequence and speaking gibberish then his head exploded. The scene in 'Scarface' where they cut a live guy up with a chainsaw in a motel bathtub was particularly gruesome.

And let's not forget the scene from "Untouchables" where DeNiro is talking about baseball and teamwork then bashes the guy's head in with the baseball bat.
