We all know the scene. The final battle comes to a climax and the villain finally gets what's coming to him in the most ridiculous and painful way possible. This list chronicles the best of these deaths. Note: I will make an exception for some movies (such as Robocop) where the kill that everybody remembers isn't the last one in the film. These films, if they prove memorable enough, will still count on this list.

	1. The Rock While the final kill of the movie isn't the main villain, the dude still gets a mouthful of the deadliest gas known to man. That must be painful. Honorable Mention: The "Rocket Man" kill.
	2. The Warriors While Luther is actually killed by a horde of black guys, he is incapacitated by a switchblade thrown into his arm by Swan. I like to think that the ending of Modern Warfare 2 wouldn't have happened if this movie didn't pioneer the Climactic Knife Throw.
	3. Con Air John Malkovich gets a fireman's hook-thing shoved through his ankle, handcuffed to the ladder of a fire truck, catapulted through an elevated walkway, falls through several power lines, and gets his head smashed by a rock crusher. Seriously. This death takes, like, 3 whole minutes from start to finish.
	4. The Last Boy Scout Snipers and helicopters team up for probably the least probable death in cinema history!
	5. RoboCop Clarence gets stabbed in the throat with Robocop's dataspike. Damn. I hope to someday do something half as badass as stab Kurtwood Smith in the jugular with a spike that comes out of my fist.
	6. Raiders of the Lost Ark The face-melting scene in this kind of scarred me as a kid.
	7. Total Recall The effects of Mars' atmosphere on the human face is well-documented.
	8. They Live Did you cry when Rowdy Roddy Piper died? I sure did. ...It's just so damn touching... sniff
	9. Dead Alive All of the deaths in this movie are pretty awesome. But slicing your way out of your hideously mutated mother's womb with a bladed necklace deserves special mention.
	10. The Host Getting shot in the eye by a flaming arrow while you're coated in gasoline must hurt. Being subsequently stabbed in the mouth with a signpost must hurt more.
	11. The Thing Well, f$#% you too! Kurt Russel is Jesus. Little known factoid right there.
	12. Dog Soldiers Werewolf gets stabbed with a letter opener and DIES. Awesome.
	13. Spider-Man Is it bad that I've always wanted to see Willem Dafoe get impaled by a flying surfboard?
	14. Scanners I know this isn't the final death scene in the movie. But we all know what I'm talking about.
	15. Commando I'm still waiting for the Tested special the Screencast promised us on whether or not Will can impale somebody with a pipe. Make it happen!
	16. Slither Not the fake-looking, CGI explosion at the end. I'm kind of breaking the rules again here, but I'm talking about the more memorable (if earlier in the movie) death involving a dude getting slit open and having his guts spill out. It's awesome because he's apparently alive long enough to realize that his vital organs are about to fall out of his stomach.
	17. Blade Runner The kill isn't that fascinating. But the death speech. Oh, the death speech. Seeing Rutger Hauer give that monologue is GLORIOUS.
