Top 20 Over the Top Villain Deaths

[Music] welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 over-the-top villain deaths did you ever ask why why we toppled all those dictators undermined all those regimes [Music] for this list we're looking at the goofiest and most ridiculous villain deaths in movies as is to be expected a spoiler alert is now in effect which film death do you find over the top let us know in the comments below number 20 thanos avengers endgame i know what it's like to lose i feel so desperately that you're right yet to fail nonetheless well we never thought we'd see this in a marvel film but hey endgame was full of surprises in this rather surprising sequence thor blasts his way through the cabin and takes off thanos's arm bruce then pushes thanos to the ground and thor gets him with a quick swipe thank you daughter perhaps i treated you too harshly rocket can hardly believe what he just saw and neither can the viewers it's a surprisingly dark graphic and violent scene for the mcu and is really too much for children to handle what did you do but then again they had to continue the darker tone following that depressing ending to infinity war [Music] you should have gone for the head number 19 august walker mission impossible fallout this is arguably the best movie in the mission impossible series and august walker makes for one of the best villains it's all there henry cavill a glorious mustache and even a confusing bit of arm reloading walker also goes out in the coolest most outlandish way possible while dangling off the side of a massive cliff ethan yanks on a rope causing a metal hook to slam into walker's face and drag him to the ground below [Music] to make matters even better his body bounces off the rocks and goes directly into an exploding helicopter so yeah we think he's dead number 18 general zod man of steel henry cavill has seen his fair share of over-the-top deaths krypton lives again what happens to earth the foundation has to be built on something even your father recognized that it's not caval doing the dying in man of steel he's dishing it out superman gets zod in the chokehold but zod begins shooting beams of heat from his eyes threatening the lives of a nearby family if you love these people so much you can learn again with no other choice soups gets kraken the whole thing is very dramatic and over the top complete with moody piano music faded sound effects superman yelling stop and a cliche never from zod [Music] it also frustrated a lot of die-hard superman fans who claim that the superhero would never kill anyone let alone in this manner for some this was moodiness for the sake of moodiness [Music] [Applause] number 17 richmond valentine kingsman the secret service this spy action film is nothing if not over the top luckily it veers full tilt into its own ridiculousness and never once takes itself seriously i'll have the big bang please great joy the goofiness lasts from beginning to end with samuel l jackson's richmond valentine experiencing a particularly hilarious death just as valentine is activating the deadly signal eggsy snags one of gazelle's prosthetic knife legs and hurls it like a javelin into valentine then more grossness [Music] now how many villains can say they've barfed after meeting their end via a prosthetic knife leg number 16. frank d'amico kick ass this film is much like kingsman it's incredibly violent it doesn't take itself seriously and it contains some majorly bombastic action sequences who are you i'm kick ass this is best represented with the death of antagonist frank d'amico frank gains the upper hand against hit girl and goes to kill her however he's interrupted by kick-ass who shoots him with a rocket launcher hey why don't you pick on someone your own size the rocket blows frank out the window and sends him hurling through the air before exploding over the streets of new york it's completely ridiculous and frank's prolonged scream aids the over-the-top visuals to create a truly hilarious demise number 15 kim jong-un the interview you know dave sometimes i feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind wanting to start the game this seth rogen comedy received a lot of media attention as north korea essentially scared the united states from releasing it in theaters they hacked sony servers and threatened attacks as they were incensed with the movie storyline about assassinating kim jong-un take him out look on the town party no uh take him out you want us to assassinate the leader of north korea yes and assassinate him they do albeit in a very humorous and over-the-top fashion a tank fires at the helicopter that kim is riding in and the movie utilizes both slow motion and a slowed down acoustic cover of katy perry's firework to add a faux dramatic effect [Music] kim is then in flames in slow motion and the helicopter falls to the ground and explodes number 14 senator mccomb time cop being a jean-claude van damme film everyone knew time cop was going to be silly and silly it was read it wolverine between the lines the story follows van damme's max walker a dc metro cop turned member of the time enforcement commission a secret body that polices the use of time travel the antagonist is senator mccomb a corrupt politician using time travel to fund his presidential campaign the climax of the film sees walker luring a 1994 mccomb into sharing the same space with a 2004 macomb usually i hate doing things more than once but in this case i don't see any other option i do [Music] as the same matter cannot occupy the same space walker kicks the two mccombs together who fuse into a writhing fleshy mass that eventually melts into nothingness you two should be closer keep them away from me same matter can occupy some space i'm still kicking i must be on broadway number 13 alec trevallion goldeneye did you ever ask why why we toppled all those dictators undermined all those regimes only to come home well done good job but sorry old boy everything you risked your life in limfo has changed james bond villains have met a wide variety of demises some of which are more over the top than others one of the craziest bond deaths belongs to alec trevelyan aka double06 as double06 is played by sean bean it was only natural that he be given a cinematic death for the ages for england james no following a brief fight atop a satellite dish bond literally drops the dude and he falls like a hundred stories to the ground only for some reason he doesn't die but no matter the satellite then explodes in a massive fireball and trevelyan is crushed by the falling debris ouch number 12 thunder big trouble in little china this is undoubtedly one of john carpenter's weirder movies it involves ancient curses a fantastic underworld weather-based magic and sorcerers all of which can be found underneath san francisco's chinatown [Music] it also contains one of the silliest death scenes in movie history jack kills lopan and after discovering his body thunder sort of just blows himself up he inflates himself like a balloon and steam begins shooting out of his nose and ears he then explodes in a flash of green light it's interesting how in the span of just eight years john carpenter went from the dark and dreary halloween to whatever the heck this is number 11. stuntman mike death proof 20 years after big trouble in little china kurt russell starred as stuntman mike in quentin tarantino's death proof this is tarantino's love letter to grindhouse films of the 70s and stuntman mike is a deranged psycho since you're going the other way i'm afraid you're gonna have to start getting scared immediately he eventually comes across a group of badass chicks who fight back and the results are suitably satisfying and over the top the women managed to knock mike's car off the road and they pull the crying occupant from the wreckage they then take turns punching the dude takes dozens of vicious jabs before being knocked to the ground with a roundhouse kick to the kisser he's then subjected to a particularly gruesome kick to finish him off number 10. alfred hudson hawk one of bruce willis's lesser efforts hudson hawk stars willis as the titular safe cracker and donald burton as alfred the personal butler to the movie's main bad guys we know very original name oh so much for his cut forgive my dry british humor the climactic battle isn't between hawk and the bad guys but hawk and the knife-wielding alfred the short fight ends in an especially intense fashion hawk uses alfred's knives against him and ends the battle with a horrible one-liner that would even have roger moore's bond cringing in embarrassment you won't be attending that hat convention in july hudson hawk is quite a goofy movie and it contains a suitably goofy climax number nine norman stansfield leon the professional this action thriller is all kinds of messed up the storyline itself is quite dark as it sees a professional hitman training a 12 year old girl named matilda so she can avenge her deceased brother the rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use because it lets you keep your distance from the client he and the rest of matilda's family were killed by a strung out dea agent named norman stansfield who is played by the always wonderful gary oldman as he dies leon puts something in stansfield's hand saying that it's from matilda stansfield finds a grenade pin and after opening leon's jacket discovers a large number of grenades he can only squeak out a resigned curse before dying in a massive fireball that spreads to the outside street talk about going out with a bang [ __ ] number eight captain darrow the rock believe it or not the rock is actually one of michael bay's most grounded movies but even a low-key michael bay film is filled with bombast and ridiculous scenarios case in point the hilarious death of tony todd's captain darrow nicholas cage utters one of the goofiest one-liners in movie history before launching a missile directly at his chest do you like the elton john song rocket man i don't like soft ass [ __ ] well i only bring it up because it's you you're the rocket man the missile launches darrow out the window but the wicked blunt force trauma somehow doesn't kill him rather daryl is carried outside the building and falls in a particular bit of bad luck the scene has michael bay written all over it and it is glorious number 7. steve hadley the cabin in the woods the final act of the cabin in the woods is totally bonkers in the best way possible of course a large array of supernatural monsters are unleashed in a secret underground laboratory resulting in many violent and brutal deaths oh man i'm sorry he had the conch in his hands you know in a couple more minutes who knows what might have happened guys i am never going to see a merman ever dude be thankful those things are terrifying one of the funniest belongs to bradley whitford steve hadley hadley has launched through the air from an exploding grenade which effectively puts him out of commission his long time wish then comes true as he finally sees a merman in the flesh unfortunately said merman proceeds to pounce on his face and steve dies at the hands of the monster he bet on well at least he realizes the irony before going out oh come on number 6. howard saint the punisher in this adaptation of the beloved marvel series john travolta plays howard saint a mafia boss who takes revenge against frank castle for the death of his son bobby now i understand your grief but for your own safety leave this to professionals professionals yes i'll do that this results in a vicious cycle of violence and frank's revenge against howard frank bests howard in a duel and attaches the barely conscious mob boss to the bumper of a car now i've killed you he then sends the car into a lot filled with exploding cars and yeah it's only then that the car blows up and we see that the explosions have formed the punisher logo from above that must have been very time consuming [Music] number five cyrus the virus grissom conair but he's bettered himself inside earned two degrees including his juris doctor he also killed 11 fellow inmates and cited three riots and escaped twice likes to brag that he killed more men than cancer john malkovich always makes for a fantastic villain and he plays a great one in simon west's conair he is cyrus grissom a criminal mastermind who's been given the nickname the virus his death is both wickedly entertaining and unashamedly ridiculous cyrus does battle with nicolas cage's cameron poe atop a speeding fire truck before being launched through a bridge and falling through some electrical wires and construction material somehow cyrus survives all this but being gravely injured he is unable to move when a giant rock crusher threatens his life cyrus comes to rest with his head directly underneath the heavy beam and number four emile antonovsky robocop hey no one said robocop was in good taste the death of clarence is particularly seriously graphic but the most over the top death belongs to poor emile while attempting to hit robocop with his truck emile drives into a vat of toxic liquid turning him into a deformed monster he unleashes some truly horrific groans before staggering into the path of clarence's speeding car the results are predictably messy and shall we say what the whole scene is pure nightmare fuel and it led to robocop's reputation for being one of the most violent films of the 80s number 3. velos kohagen total recall arnold schwarzenegger films certainly contain their fair share of outlandish deaths but total recall contains the greatest of them all velo's kohagan is blown out onto the uninhabitable martian surface by quaid and he proceeds to tumble down a massive rocky hill he then suffers what can only be described as a disturbing death [Applause] we don't know whether cohegan's iconic suffocation is too crazed or traumatizing but either way it's certainly memorable and very over the top the gross visuals are truly something else and kohagan screams of pain add to the scene's relentless horror space is endlessly fascinating but it'll mess you up number two the nazis raiders of the lost ark the early 1980s were a different time for kids movies while not specifically made for children raiders of the lost ark proved very popular with kids and families of the time despite containing one of the most violent scenes in movie history ark is opened and while indiana jones and marion close their eyes the nazis aren't as smart don't look at it shut your eyes mary and don't look at it no matter what happens the magical properties of the ark attack the nazis many nazis are shot with beams of energy totes face melts and bellock meets a grisly end the whole sequence is unrelenting horror complete with nightmarish music and a surprising amount of gore not surprisingly the movie's pg rating was immediately criticized and brought into question before we unveil our number one pick here are some honorable mentions ripley's alien baby alien resurrection the nastiest in the alien franchise howard payne speed gotta watch those subway lights [Music] beckett pirates of the caribbean at world's end a ton of slow motion and flying debris

parody of macgyver and based on a popular saturday night live sketch mcgruber starred a slew of snl veterans including will forte maya rudolph and kristen wiig it also contains what may very well be the most over-the-top death in movie history mcgruber headbutts villain kunth played by val kilmer and pushes him through a structure and off a cliff he then grabs a machine gun and shoots [ __ ] a bunch of times on the way down just for good measure not content with that magruber keeps aiming at kunth who had finally come to rest at the bottom of the cliff the scene is intentionally silly parodying over-the-top action movies but man they really went all out there do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from watchmojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be
