The 7 Most Unintentionally Hilarious Movie Deaths - Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder

[Music] hello Internet my name is Daniel Bryan and welcome to another episode of obsessive pop-culture disorder show about things that my brain shouts at me while I'm trying to be an adult today we're gonna be talking about deaths in movies or really any medium is something that is generally supposed to be taken seriously nobody in the audience was hooting with laughter when Forrest Gump's mom died in that one movie please no one in my theater we were still recovering from the loss of Bubba and then Jenny lieutenant Dan's entire family John Lennon I guess man a lot of people died in that movie there are a lot of laughs too just not at those specific parts because we're not supposed to laugh when a character dies in an otherwise dramatic scenario we're supposed to be sad or scared or reflecting on our own life choices but then we see waggish bit like this Broken Arrow is the answer to the question who between John Travolta and Christian Slater has the more formidable forehead and which is capable of nuclear extortion the answer of course is Travolta and after two hours of precious villainy he meets his doom on the pointed end of an atomic bomb there's a lot to unpack here for instance there's a clear buildup Travolta's sees the missile coming at him which is apparently either traveling in a super slow motion or that train is way longer than any of us realized because he has enough time to stand lose his footing stand again face the bomb and roll his shoulders forward in the universal come at me bro posture of a man lurking in a Hooters parking lot he looked at that missile like their old adversaries like you again it's been a long time he's clearly staring that missile down with a level of respect that you can tell he thinks is mutual and the missile is just like missile missile face I am a missile your power posture is not intimidating to me because instead of a heart or a brain I just have more missile parts also the missile roars at him right as it impacts because apparently nuclear bombs were made of dinosaurs and he definitely pooped when that thing connected that's a poop noise he's making is a movie about a tough no-nonsense special ops commander named commander Steven Segal and his quest to destroy a group of terrorists who have hijacked a 747 the only way on board the planes is to attempt to secretly dock with it mid-flight using a state-of-the-art stealth aircraft and its retractable person hose which connects to the other side of the big airliner and allows commander Seagal his team to crawl stealthily inside I'm having a stroke there's no way that sense makes any sense anyway things fall apart when it's a girl's time to use the thing that was supposed to be a noble sacrifice that was meant to make us the audience feel a grim sense of pride for Stevie C's because he died so that Kurt Russell who might live but of course we don't feel any of that because the very next thing we see is Steven Seagal shooting clumsily out into space like someone threw an Evel Knievel doll out onto the interstate they couldn't even have him gracefully [ __ ] off into nowhere he had to bump his crap all over the plane fins or whatever we're not gonna make it you are and then bounce a plane maybe hit some birds on the way down landed in a bear trap we don't know hey it's Howie Long again except in firestorm Howie Long plays a heroic firefighter who parachutes into the middle of a firestorm which was started by the villainous William Forsythe and his criminal henchmen in a vain attempt to cover their tracks because there is no covering your tracks when Howie long is on the case Leon Forsythe discovers this to his woe when he and how we have a climactic fight scene but he the capsized boat as the fire storms around them well actually but first what happens is how he throws an axe into Williams chest and he falls off the boat to what should be his death at some point while underwater he took the axe out and swam up to float fight Howie long under the boat he shot gonna blast a hole in the boat which is bad because it means when the fire comes it'll suck all the oxygen out of boat fire storm sucks how he realizes he needs to a get rid of William Forsythe and B plug that boat and wouldn't it be convenient if we can do a two birds one stone thing here that is 100% insane forever Howie long determinately power swim while focusing on William for sides but I really thought how it was like here comes Boomhauer long but punch but instead he was like boom head plug and then Williams head roasts down into a tiny ridiculous raisin and he dies again pooping all the way and it truly was a firestorm fun fact firestorm has been uploaded to YouTube in its entirety and nobody has done a thing about it fun of fact at about an hour and 23 minutes in the female protagonist takes out a metal box and inside there's two live hideous looking baby birds I'll be damned I didn't watch the whole movie in the preparation of this video I skipped around so I have no idea what the setup to that is and that's I so loved it without context he's like the firestorm past and she's like and that's not all look a box of birds for our day and he's like tight don't you just love him well I guess I could learn to side there's about a fabulous Titanic sized cruise ship that gets hit by a wave and flips upside down and everyone left inside loses their goddamn minds case in point our heroes are trying to climb across an elevator shaft 100 feet above a pile of jagged metal wreckage the elevator shaft is on fire and the elevator itself is dangling precariously above them its brakes moments from giving away and sending the car down to crush them all into luxurious dust Josh Lucas and Kurt Russell are sharing gritty hero roles trying to pull the cowardly but Dreyfus Lee endearing Richard Dreyfuss and the kind-hearted busboy Freddy Rodriguez out of the shaft Freddy insist that Dreyfuss go first because he's just that swell of a guy you go first then the beam they're standing on collapses leaving Freddy dangling from one immaculately tailored Dreyfuss leg while Josh Lucas does the teeth gritting best to yank them both to safety then out of nowhere out of nowhere he orders Richard Dreyfuss to kick Freddy Rodriguez loose to save himself and he does it Freddie pleading for his life to the man he just nobly allowed to climb up ahead of him hurdles screaming down the shaft gets impaled on a spike one of those elevator boats bikes you know and then in the elevator lands on top of him then everything explodes that's four different schwarzenegger deaths unloaded on a single minimum-wage worker who up to this point in the film hasn't done anything to anyone and for the rest of the movie we follow and root for the characters who murdered him luck is one of the most paradoxical films of all time because it is one of the only good movies Michael Bay has ever made and it set the wheels in motion that eventually turned Nicolas Cage into the haunting punchline he is today Nicolas Cage were Batman the rock is his parents getting shot to death in an alley in the movie a band of rogue marines have taken control of alcatraz and are threatening to launch a devastating chemical weapon into san francisco unless Sean Connery can drag Nicolas Cage through enough I seek winces to kill everyone on the island because you have to kick a baby bird out of the nest if it's ever going to learn how to fly Nick Cage has left to deal with Tony Todd it's a Candy Man himself all on his own and he does so with the sweatiest joke set up ever written you like you Alton Jon song Rocket Man I don't like soft - will you bring it up because it's you you're the rocket [Music] how does that even occur to Nic Cage as an option that is a complicated series of cause and effect plus the only way he could have telegraphed that blow anymore is if he said in straightforward uncomplicated language hey I'm going to shoot this missile directly into your chest which will more than likely result in your death I mean the rocket won't kill you it'll just drop you off on some errands spike an ocean prison spike you know and that will kill you but anyway you'll be dead soon ooh that'll teach you next time we'll be more open-minded broadening your musical horizons also just as a sidebar candy man said yes what if Cage said you know this one Rocket Man by Elton John and Candyman was just like oh my god definitely in my top five such a huge Elton John fan saw him with Billy Joel at the garden worth every penny [ __ ] is back more like [ __ ] never left if you ask me right boy who knew you and I had this in common cage would have to just be like oh yeah anyway that's you die now the Rocket Man no in recent film adaptation of the musical sensation lame is horrible Russell Crowe plays Javert a police inspector so consumed by the absolute definitions of right and wrong that when faced with a paradox of Jean Valjean a good man who is also a criminal he can't cope with the realization that everything he believed in his entire life was wrong so after betraying everything he stood for by letting John Valjean go he climbs on a bridge overlooking a river sing monologues about the tragedy of his life and jumps it's a crazy emotional scene in a movie already loaded with crazy emotional scenes and it's guaranteed to get everyone watching a little misty in the eyes music swells to a crescendo as the heartbreak of error plunges to his death putting the stars of paraffin what what was the point of that he's landed right on his hip his pelvis exploded where they worried we wouldn't understand you vert was dead he just felt like a hundred feet into a rampaging current he's super dead we didn't need the additional help that cartoon splat sound effect of his skeleton shattering movie so full of accidental comedy not one legitimate attempt at a joke in the Phantom Menace actually manages to land but for an example of that first thing let's take a look at the entirely too long and thoroughly pointless podracing scene it's pretty much just plucky little Anakin racing his tiny heart out in an effort to defeat the reigning champion Sebulba a thunderous douchebag alien that comes from an entire race of aliens that walk on their hands for absolutely no reason whatsoever I mean he still uses his feet as hands so what's the point why wouldn't they just have evolved to have regular hands and feet it doesn't make any doesn't make any sense phantom menace anyway the podrace sequence introduces us to a barrage of colorful alien racers including this guy a little alien who makes that noise you might recognize him better as the guy who dies screaming in the tunnel he's minding his own business doesn't see a rock coming until it's too late and then eats it because pod racing is deadly well that's his fault for getting involved in such a deadly sport and it doesn't matter I'm not sure I even remember his name Wow max Tyrell or whatever holy Sh there's this entire family his entire family was at that pod race his newly widowed wife who came straight here from the hospital had to sit there clutching her fatherless children and watch his Anakin came yelping out of his pod to a course of throaty cheers while her husband lay fused to the smoldering wreckage that was their livelihood himself uncontrollably now that no nervous system exists to keep his alien bowels clenched man your life can be over in an instant just one rat and then you're done your whole family watching well some kid you bees right over your chart lifeless husk of a poop filled corpse to victory in a race that was rigged because of Jedi magic have fun raising three children on this corrupt desert slave planet missus Tyrell you did nothing to deserve this join us next month when our topic will be I don't know George Lucas stone-faced Lee telling you that happiness doesn't exist and death is the reward oh no it's gonna be it's about Power Rangers it's gonna be a Power Rangers thing instead of that cool cool cool bye [Music] in the recent film adaptation of the musical sensation lame is honorable russell crowe plays Javert a police inspector so concerned no it's gonna do that in the recent film adaptation of the musical sensation Lane mizerock Russell in the recent film adaptation of the musical sensation lame is all now Russell Graham I gotta move
