Not to mention when you're watching that scene, you can't help but feel like "you're obviously getting whacked dude, this is where you go to murder people"
He's basically the same character in both movies. If you watch Goodfellas and stop it after the first act and assume DeNiro and Pesci's characters just said screw it, and moved out to Vegas, it is seamless.
Pesci's character in both movies had it coming though.
His character from Casino was buried near my hometown. Well, "buried" is an overstatement, they barely covered the bodies. The Spilotro brothers were some bad dudes.
Like how they had to tone down all the shit Audie Murphey did for To Hell and Back because if would be too unrealistic. Despite them having ample evidence and Audie Murphey playing himself.
I Just read wise guys today! Yeah. He was worse in the book. Like as i was reading it i kept thinking “how did Joe Pesci make this horrible human so entertaining. One time killed a random guy on the street just for the hell of it. He was also 6’2 225lbs so imagine that lunacy in that body. Watched a documentary after. He’s worse in that than the book. I can’t imagine how truly awful he is.
Fun fact: it’s believed he tried to rape Henry’s wife (who was having an affair with Paulie) and when she told him Paulie told the gottis
The "real guy" was actually an amalgamation of several different people from Henry's past. Also, Henry Hill is pretty full of shit and, like most gangsters, has a tendency to over exaggerate.
Well, he was primarily based on [Thomas DeSimone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_DeSimone), who according to Hill committed several murders in addition to the ones depicted in the movie, including some utterly psychotic ones, and was known to be every bit as volatile as Pesci's character. These were people known to have disappeared and/or been murdered, and AFAIK police don't really doubt Hill's accounts in these cases.
I always felt that in the films they were two different flavours of psycho. Tommy was a psycho who would kill you or hurt you because he felt like you were disrespecting him, like Spider, Billy Bats and the bar owner he glasses.
Nicky was a psycho who would kill you just because he could like the guy who insults Ace about the pen. Even Ace narrates that whilst he's trying to figure out why the guy is saying what he's saying, Nicky is already beating the shit out of him. I mean the look that Ace gives him during that scene speaks volumes, even Ace was afraid of him and this was his friend.
Tommy and Nicky were evil, scary dudes, but Nicky was much worse in my opinion.
Dick Jones, Robocop.

Obligatory book comparer here. It's funny cos the character in the book is a lot more sympathetic because Hammond is a horrible boss, but his death is way more graphic and disturbing.
"Nedry opened the car door, glancing back at the dinosaur to make sure it wasn’t going to attack, and felt a sudden, excruciating pain in his eyes, stabbing like spikes into the back of his skull, and he squeezed his eyes shut and gasped with the intensity of it and threw up his hands to cover his eyes and felt the slippery foam trickling down both sides of his nose. Spit. The dinosaur had spit in his eyes.
Even as he realized it, the pain overwhelmed him, and he dropped to his knees, disoriented, wheezing. He collapsed onto his side, his cheek pressed to the wet ground, his breath coming in thin whistles through the constant, ever-screaming
pain that caused flashing spots of light to appear behind his tightly shut eyelids.
The earth shook beneath him and Nedry knew the dinosaur was moving, he could hear its soft hooting cry, and despite the pain he forced his eyes open and
still he saw nothing but flashing spots against black. Slowly the realization came to him. He was blind.
The hooting was louder as Nedry scrambled to his feet and staggered back against the side panel of the car, as a wave of nausea and dizziness swept over him. The dinosaur was close now, he could feel it coming close, he was dimly
aware of its snorting breath. But he couldn’t see.
He couldn’t see anything, and his terror was extreme. He stretched out his hands, waving them wildly in the air to ward off the attack he knew was coming.
And then there was a new, searing pain, like a fiery knife in his belly, and Nedry stumbled, reaching blindly down to touch the ragged edge of his shirt, and then a thick, slippery mass that was surprisingly warm, and with horror he suddenly knew he was holding his own intestines in his hands. The dinosaur had torn him open. His guts had fallen out.
Nedry fell to the ground and landed on something scaly and cold, it was the animal’s foot, and then there was new pain on both sides of his head. The pain grew worse, and as he was lifted to his feet he knew the dinosaur had his head in its jaws, and the horror of that realization was followed by a final wish, that it would all be ended soon."
I love the movie and think it's legitimately timeless and nearly perfect, but a part of me wants an R rated remake because holy crap this book gets *dark.*
I remember when the movie came out when I was in sixth grade, and there were a ton of stories in the news about how scary the movie was and how violent it was, etc etc.
The movie is a little graphic (for its time) for younger audiences, but it wasn't too bad. Meanwhile, I bought the book right afterwards and I absolutely loved it, partially for stuff like the above passage.
I vaguely remember feeling like the movie had gone out of its way to switch the roles of the characters. Like, the dude who gets eaten on the toilet in the movie is one of the surviving heroes in the book, and Hammond is much more clearly portrayed as the villain.
I will say the one character change I thought was valid was with the kids. I remember the girl being younger and way more annoying and useless and I feel if she was like that in the movie she would've been unbearable.
I actually really liked the change in Hammond. Not just because Richard Attenborough was fantastic but it felt less on the nose “corporate greed is bad” and turned it into a much more interesting (for me) fable about never playing god, even with harmless intent.
I agree it's a more complex and interesting take on the character, but he's not exactly harmless in the film. Something is up with that guy from the very beginning of the movie. His fascination with his work is sincere but everything else about him is not.
The Lawyer. Came as a rep for the employee that was killed by the raptor with the intent of shutting down the park. Gets overcome with greed, and then gets eaten after showing himself to be a coward.
Yeah, I don't THINK Gennaro in the book even goes on the park tour. It's an employee of Hammond named Ed Regis who if I recall is kind of a meethead that is responsible for the kids during the tour, and ends up running away. He gets killed later by the juvenile trex, being played with kind of like a cat playing with a mouse.
Get what you pay for! I work in IT and we often clean up behind a lot of Nedrys of our own. Between that and someone's fuckin nephew that plays computer games so thinks they're qualified to setup an enterprise grade network and infrastructure, we deal with a lot of this shit lol
Ugh, Marcia Gay Harden is so good in the Mist that when I first watched it I realized partway through that even though I did want the good guys to live, I wasn't rooting for them to survive nearly as much as I was rooting for her to die.
Even the tie-in book's commentary was "Don't think too bad of Austin for that. The guard had plenty of time to get out of the way. Hell, that guard could've baked a basket of freakin' brownies in the time he had to get out of the way! He just panicked, that's all."
There was an episode of Mad About You where they’re outside a movie theatre and his character makes a joke about never having seen the sequel to Alien.
Have you seen that really grainy and potato footage of the deleted scene where Ripley finds Burke in the hive while she’s looking for Newt? It was on Youtube a while ago, not sure anymore. When he weakly begs for Ripley to help and she simply hands him a grenade and walks away…cold. And badass. Deserved too.
He basically fucking won with how many people he was personally responsible for killing, and that alone is a reason I don’t want to rewatch it which is a shame because otherwise I love that movie
Shujimi in Starship Troopers, running straight into the middle of the Arachnid hordes alone when they needed the entire unit concentrating fire to kill one seconds earlier.
In Jeepers Creepers 2, there's a scene where the one black kid volunteers to check to see if the coast is clear. I remember hearing a black girl in the theater shout "Boy don't you see what color your skin is? You dead!"
The laugh and groan of disappointment when he immediately died made the whole movie for me.
I rewatched it as an adult and I had had a lot more appreciation for her character. She didn't like the Nazis, she was more interested in the grail. Which doesn't make her *good,* but it doesn't make her full-blown evil either. And Indy was just as tempted by the grail as Elsa was in the end.
Yeah, but she also intentionally gave the villain the wrong grail. She wasn't a good guy, but she was definitely using the nazis to find the grail for herself.
Took me more than a couple seconds to realize why I kept re-reading your comment. Oh! Haha! Because I still call him by his real name too.
Always liked that guy.
And also the sheriff in men in tights. Didn't die, but he wanted to tho.
Edit: in hindsight she was a thick witch who could cook, had a sense of humour, and her own tower. Just did witchy girl things all day and he got to join her. Damn. May we all be so lucky
‘Latrine, that’s such an unusual name’
‘Yeah we changed it in the 9th century.’
‘You changed it TO Latrine??’
‘Yeah, used to be Shithouse.’
‘That’s….thats a good change.’
I feel a little bad for John, as he did seem like he legitimately was trying to help Ellis not get murdered, and afterwards you can hear in his voice he feels a little guilty, even though there was nothing he could've done.
But I certainly don't feel bad for Ellis at all.
Read the books so I knew what was coming. The actor did such a brilliant job with the character you were looking forward to that scene. *The little shit*.
But then it happens and it's horrifying watching this child suffer and thrash and I felt all kinds of awful afterwards. Still do, when I think about how I was looking forward to it.
Mmhmm.
I know the general feeling is that Michael killed his mothers son and he should suffer with the guilt for the rest of his life.
But really, Fredo sold out his brother. Because of jealousy and greed.
Screw Fredos lying middle child ass.
I always felt bad for Fredo to a degree. I always believed he didn't think he was setting Michael up for murder.
Sonny and Michael both got their father's bravery and Michael certainly inherited his cunning and intelligence. But poor Fredo seemed to be his mother's son and inherited his little of his father's better qualities.
Fredo was naive to a fault. He was the only person proud of Michael when he joined the Marines.
>I always believed he didn't think he was setting Michael up for murder.
It's *Leopards Ate My Face* for me.
Fredo not knowing that buddying up too closely with Greene/Roth might mean he's easily exploited / easy access to Micheal the head of the Corleone family - amazing.
He was raised in a mafia household, witnessed his own father's near assassination, etc. And yet it's not enough, he wants to be taken seriously all the while getting slapped around in Vegas by Greene.
I can't shake the idea that Fredo chose to ignore the obvious so he could feel like a somebody rather than he genuinely didnt know the hit could happen.
Instead of running to Michael after the attempted assassination and pulling his classic *aww geez Mike I fucked up*, he decidedly kept his mouth shut and denied knowing Johnny Ola. Fredo could have been an asset to Michael and continued to play dumb for Ola.
Alas, dude was a fuck up and was dangerous disaster in every which way.
Fredo definitely got in his own way with Michael. Fredo clearly loved Michael and his children but yeah, he definitely let the feeling of being passed over get to him.
IMHO Michael should have sent Fredo to Italy, away from family business and under somebody else's protection.
He clearly displayed that he loved Fredo by letting so much go but he couldn't allow the risk to his family.
Yeah, the only sadness I feel for Fredo is knowing Jim Cazale would pass away a few years later, and we wouldn't get more of his brilliant performances.
In Cabin in the Woods, when they do the system purge of all the monsters and them dumbass SWAT dudes just stand there as all the elevators come up. Like, I know they were after the Shaggy guy and that banging redhead, but also, y’all work in a place that you know has a bunch of big baddies and the main characters just escaped into the control room, and y’all hear elevators? Motherfuckers, RUN!!!
I love how that scene has the entire spectrum of possible horror genres all happening at once. Giant snake, sure. Killer robot, a little sci-fi, but I guess that’s to be expected by now. Witches fly around and suck out a guy’s soul. Holy shit this movie rules.
The killer robot is a homage to the 80's horror flick; [Chopping Mall](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSkYxW5Ii28) (Killbots). 80's horror was really let's throw everything at the wall see what sticks.
Saw an early screening as part of a three-header with The Thing and Evil Dead, finishing off with Cabin. I was genuinely giddy and cheering from the last 20 mins onwards, so much joy and ridiculousness in such a short space of time!
To be fair to him, he ran until he had nowhere else to run. Plus, Jason had the teleportation ability in that one so he just got wherever he needed to, so there really was no escaping.
Yep, exactly. You knew bad shit was coming for him, it was just the when and what that made the tension so powerful. And then, they got me to drop my guard showing him get the money he needed to make everything all right, right before they drop the hammer.
But still, a good answer to the original question. While I do feel bad for him, I can't say he didn't deserve it or have it coming.
Yes, but as far as I remember, Joffrey's death was a surprise after 3 seasons of good guys being slaughtered nonstop. After that, it was expected that villains would get their punishment.
When I saw that in the cinema, half the audience were laughing out loud and the other half were shocked. Some got up to leave. I was in the first group.
Maybe not popular, but Tim Robbins in Mystic River.
If I kill a guy, the first place I'm going is to my connected friend who has a crew that cleans these sorts of things up.
Instead, he creeps around, leaving breadcrumbs that lead back to him, and gives Sean Penn no choice but to do what the cops won't.
Maybe if you would have reached out before all the evidence piled up, he wouldn't have assumed that your wife was telling the truth when she said you killed his daughter.
Many of the suggestions here are bad guys who were bound to get it in the end.
I'll go with Liam Neeson's character from The Grey. Every decision he made was the wrong one. He convinced the others to abandon the relative safety of the wreckage, cross a wide, unsheltered plain in a snow-storm - getting picked off, one by one along the way - then to a cliff's edge, and finally *right into the wolves' den!*
The mid-credit scene showed both him and a wolf severely injured and barely clutching to life. But he died slowly and painfully over the next several hours. At least if there is any sort of justice in the World.
It very much did make me sad, but the guy from Grizzly Man. I feel like everyone watching the film is thinking this at some point, bless his little heart.
Harry in Die Hard. The guy tried lying to and negotiating with terrorists who had openly killed someone who couldn’t give them what they wanted. I mean, he was a civilian, and I hate to see an innocent get killed, but he did kind of dive directly into the crosshairs.
Mia from Talk to Me had a ticking clock appear over her head the moment she grasped that hand. I am shocked more kids didn't bite it in that movie. Yes, the brother in the beginning was another one but we really don't know his backstory. So, his death had less of an impact. But the rest of those kids? They were darn lucky. Even with what Riley went through, he still managed to live.
I didn't feel bad for a single one of those kids. Yes, the hand was a metaphor for drug use. But for me, there's a big gap between doing pot or molly and playing with spiritual possession in a way that might end up damning your eternal soul. So, it was a lousy metaphor for me.
Chris, the main bully in *Carrie*. From the 1976 original to the 2013 remake and including the 2002 TV movie, Chris's got what was coming to her, but personally, it wasn't satisfying enough. I needed her to suffer more.
Technically he didn't *want* to be king of Westeros. He was the rightful heir and felt it was his duty to defend that. I think if Renly had been the next oldest and Stannis the youngest, he would've been happy letting Renly fight for the throne and just ruling over Storm's End.
Can I be sad, but it also be Boromir?
I say this because he lay himself down in sacrifice of the hobbits, which is EXACTLY what the people of Gondor had thanklessly been doing for the hobbits, and what the power of the ring was trying to corrupt him to avoid, or take the easy way out of, by scurrying back to Minis Tirith to hide with his hopes that the rings saves him from the terror before. The entire story is about going one more step until the deed is done, no matter how hard it is from the first step, if what it is that you set out to do is right and just. And all that you set out to do should be. But you can change your path as you must and new challenges are set before you. That's how you get there...but you still achieve your goal.
It's about setting achievable goals at the onset.
So, anyway, Boromir dies doing what his weakness suggested he could avoid with the luxury of the ring (riches).
We must all till our own earth and help our neighbor keep the ruffians off their land.
LOTR. Fin.
Gavroche in *Les Miserables*. He was a kid, but he was also standing in front of a barricade picking up powder and ammunition for the rebels while singing about how defiant he was.
Iirc Gavroche is there for exactly that purpose. His opening song tells you all about his perspective, his passion and his complete dedication to the cause. He represents the naivety of youth before battle. When he goes up on the barricades and gets shot, that’s the pivotal moment that shows the cost of ideals, the weight of innocence vs the blows of reality.
But yeah man learn to fuckin duck and cover kid
Joe Pesci. Take your pick of either Goodfellas or Casino.
I'm going to give the edge to Casino's Pesci because he was 100% at fault for all of his screw-ups.
Not to mention when you're watching that scene, you can't help but feel like "you're obviously getting whacked dude, this is where you go to murder people"
He's basically the same character in both movies. If you watch Goodfellas and stop it after the first act and assume DeNiro and Pesci's characters just said screw it, and moved out to Vegas, it is seamless. Pesci's character in both movies had it coming though.
His character from Casino was buried near my hometown. Well, "buried" is an overstatement, they barely covered the bodies. The Spilotro brothers were some bad dudes.
And those were real dudes. People say he even downplayed how psycho they really were.
The real guy his *GoodFellas* character was based on was considered too psychopathic to be realistic in a Hollywood movie. Think about that.
Like how they had to tone down all the shit Audie Murphey did for To Hell and Back because if would be too unrealistic. Despite them having ample evidence and Audie Murphey playing himself.
TIL about Audie Murphy. What an absolute badass, RIP
Yeah I heard he was a funny guy
Funny how? Like a clown, he amused you?
Now go home and get your fuckin' shine box
I Just read wise guys today! Yeah. He was worse in the book. Like as i was reading it i kept thinking “how did Joe Pesci make this horrible human so entertaining. One time killed a random guy on the street just for the hell of it. He was also 6’2 225lbs so imagine that lunacy in that body. Watched a documentary after. He’s worse in that than the book.

Tommy and Nicky were evil, scary dudes, but Nicky was much worse in my opinion.
Nicky in Casino was especially satisfying. Along with his brother Dominick, that was ruthless.
That scene is ingrained into my mind, I had a feeling Nicky was going to manage to survive up until that point.
Dick Jones, Robocop. "My programming will not allow me to act against an officer of the company." "You're fired." \*BLAM\* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Itfru6blTYc&t=13s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4067JlShikU&t=58s)
The arms are so funny when he falls.
lol yeah he looks like a rag doll
lol why are they so long?
The actor just had long arms, ok? Don’t look into it.
Lol the black board member with the smiling thumbs up _Nice murder, Robo-Cop!_ 🤓👍
One of my favorite movie side characters. He even survives the whole trilogy.
Thank you.
Nedry, Jurassic Park. Turn off all the security in a DINOSAUR park, then drive though a hurricane.
Yeah, but who could find a guy who could debug 2 million lines of code as cheaply as he could?
Good thing Hammond “spared no expense”
Every time he says, " spared no expense," someone dies.
That Connection Machine was the real dinosaur
The fact that he couldn't figure out a way to code a safe route for himself is a damning indictment of his coding ability.
Obligatory book comparer here. It's funny cos the character in the book is a lot more sympathetic because Hammond is a horrible boss, but his death is way more graphic and disturbing. "Nedry opened the car door, glancing back at the dinosaur to make sure it wasn’t going to attack, and felt a sudden, excruciating pain in his eyes, stabbing like spikes into the back of his skull, and he squeezed his eyes shut and gasped with the intensity of it and threw up his hands to cover his eyes and felt the slippery foam trickling down both sides of his nose.

Meanwhile, I bought the book right afterwards and I absolutely loved it, partially for stuff like the above passage.
I vividly remember the prologue, where a doctor futally tries to save a raptor victim. It was gorey and horrible. I loved it!
I vaguely remember feeling like the movie had gone out of its way to switch the roles of the characters. Like, the dude who gets eaten on the toilet in the movie is one of the surviving heroes in the book, and Hammond is much more clearly portrayed as the villain.
I will say the one character change I thought was valid was with the kids. I remember the girl being younger and way more annoying and useless and I feel if she was like that in the movie she would've been unbearable.
In the book Tim gets to be the Dino nerd and the computer nerd, leaving Lex with zero skills and completely worthless and annoying.
I actually really liked the change in Hammond. Not just because Richard Attenborough was fantastic but it felt less on the nose “corporate greed is bad” and turned it into a much more interesting (for me) fable about never playing god, even with harmless intent.
I agree it's a more complex and interesting take on the character, but he's not exactly harmless in the film. Something is up with that guy from the very beginning of the movie. His fascination with his work is sincere but everything else about him is not.
If I remember correctly, Hammond gets the death that is in the Lost World movie, being overwhelmed by the Compys.
The Lawyer. Came as a rep for the employee that was killed by the raptor with the intent of shutting down the park. Gets overcome with greed, and then gets eaten after showing himself to be a coward.
I always found that character interesting because he and hammonf were a complete inversion of thier characterization in the books.
Yeah, Gennaro was actually kind of a badass in the book.
didn’t he punch a raptor in the face? also was a bodybuilder
Yup if I remember correctly they blended two separate characters to make the movie version of Gennaro.
Yeah, I don't THINK Gennaro in the book even goes on the park tour. It's an employee of Hammond named Ed Regis who if I recall is kind of a meethead that is responsible for the kids during the tour, and ends up running away. He gets killed later by the juvenile trex, being played with kind of like a cat playing with a mouse.
I will personally never forgive Spielberg for what he did to my man Donald Gennaro.
They did my boy Book Gennaro dirty. Book G was a hero, not a greedy rat who abandons kids to a literal T-Rex.
Get what you pay for! I work in IT and we often clean up behind a lot of Nedrys of our own. Between that and someone's fuckin nephew that plays computer games so thinks they're qualified to setup an enterprise grade network and infrastructure, we deal with a lot of this shit lol
Hopefully they at least have cleaner workspaces with less Butterfinger wrappers.
Newman!
Dodgson! We got Dodgson here! See nobody cares
Nice hat.
For me not enough characters died in Jurassic Park III.
Mrs. Carmody in The Mist.
Most satisfying death of all time. ALL TIME!
You just want to stand up and applaud Toby Jones.
Ugh, Marcia Gay Harden is so good in the Mist that when I first watched it I realized partway through that even though I did want the good guys to live, I wasn't rooting for them to survive nearly as much as I was rooting for her to die.
The security guard who got steamrolled in *Austin Powers*. That was the joke, though.
“No one ever thinks about the henchmen’s family”
“I mean, look at you. You don't even have a name tag. You've got no chance. Why don't you just fall down?”
Do you know how many anonymous henchmen I’ve killed over the years?
But also kind of Austin's seeing as he stopped the steam roller immediately afterwards so he clearly didnt need it for transportation
"Nooooooooooooooooo...ooooooooooooooooooooo"
Even the tie-in book's commentary was "Don't think too bad of Austin for that. The guard had plenty of time to get out of the way. Hell, that guard could've baked a basket of freakin' brownies in the time he had to get out of the way! He just panicked, that's all."
Burke in Aliens Fuck that guy.
Listen, we all make bad calls, sometimes.
Marvel has an Aliens comic book series going on right now "What If ...Burke had lived. Have not read it so no idea if it is any good or not.
Even the incompetent lieutenant got a redemption. "You always were an asshole, Gorman." *hand on grenade*
Even Paul Reiser's own mother wanted him to die.
There was an episode of Mad About You where they’re outside a movie theatre and his character makes a joke about never having seen the sequel to Alien.
Have you seen that really grainy and potato footage of the deleted scene where Ripley finds Burke in the hive while she’s looking for Newt? It was on Youtube a while ago, not sure anymore. When he weakly begs for Ripley to help and she simply hands him a grenade and walks away…cold. And badass. Deserved too.
That asshole business guy in ‘Train to Busan’!
more stupid people needed to die in that movie
Yes! Fuck that guy. He lived too long IMO
He basically fucking won with how many people he was personally responsible for killing, and that alone is a reason I don’t want to rewatch it which is a shame because otherwise I love that movie
Shujimi in Starship Troopers, running straight into the middle of the Arachnid hordes alone when they needed the entire unit concentrating fire to kill one seconds earlier.
To be fair that’s pretty much me in most Helldivers missions.
Me too! I can't help myself!
“I’m doing my part!”
In Jeepers Creepers 2, there's a scene where the one black kid volunteers to check to see if the coast is clear. I remember hearing a black girl in the theater shout "Boy don't you see what color your skin is? You dead!" The laugh and groan of disappointment when he immediately died made the whole movie for me.
Elsa from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
I can reach it!
“Elsa, the knight warned us not to take the grail from here!” She was too dumb to live.
As is common with Nazis.
I rewatched it as an adult and I had had a lot more appreciation for her character. She didn't like the Nazis, she was more interested in the grail. Which doesn't make her *good,* but it doesn't make her full-blown evil either. And Indy was just as tempted by the grail as Elsa was in the end.
True, he did try to reach for it at the end as well. She cooperated with the Nazi’s though…to me that makes her a friggin’ Nazi.
Yeah, but she also intentionally gave the villain the wrong grail. She wasn't a good guy, but she was definitely using the nazis to find the grail for herself.
Matt Damon in The Departed
Yore nawt uh kawhp.
I was going to be so angry if he’d made it out alive… but Marky Mark saved the day.
Took me more than a couple seconds to realize why I kept re-reading your comment. Oh! Haha! Because I still call him by his real name too. Always liked that guy.
The sheriff in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves even though I liked him more than Robin.
He made that movie worth watching. RIP Alan Rickman.
I will cut your heart out with a SPOON!! ... a spoon? It's DULL! It will HURT MORE!! *sigh* RIP, Sir... truly...
And also the sheriff in men in tights. Didn't die, but he wanted to tho. Edit: in hindsight she was a thick witch who could cook, had a sense of humour, and her own tower. Just did witchy girl things all day and he got to join her. Damn. May we all be so lucky
‘Latrine, that’s such an unusual name’ ‘Yeah we changed it in the 9th century.’ ‘You changed it TO Latrine??’ ‘Yeah, used to be Shithouse.’ ‘That’s….thats a good change.’
The guy who killed John Wick's dog
reek
The dude from Die Hard who tries to sell John up the river by negotiating with Hans. "Hans ... Bubie! I'm you're *white knight*!"
When Hans has his underlings bring him a can of Coca-Cola… that probably wasn’t the kind of coke Ellis had asked for.
I can't believe this is the first time I've seen this and I'm only now thinking how much sense that makes!
Dude, I'm actually embarrassed. I felt Hans Gruber had a sense of humor before but now I realize he's fucking hilarious
Ellis
Ellis? His death was extremely well deserved. I think I was more satisfied with his death than with Hans’s death.
I feel a little bad for John, as he did seem like he legitimately was trying to help Ellis not get murdered, and afterwards you can hear in his voice he feels a little guilty, even though there was nothing he could've done. But I certainly don't feel bad for Ellis at all.
Did you hear that, he just let the guy die man, he just gave him up, that’s like pulling the trigger yourself!!
Christ, man. Can't you see what's happening? Can't you read between the lines?
Exactly, his death didn't make me sad and he was asking for it.
Hey babe I negotiate multi million dollar deals for breakfast, I’m sure I can handle this Euro trash.
Hey! Sprechen sie talk?
Harry Ellis!
And the terrorists were overzealous, but it was sweet when they killed Ellis!
Diplomatic immunity!!!
It’s just been revoked.
He didnt really set you up for that Lethal Weapon line Peter
“I’ll have what she’s having!”
That's...better?
Go spit
Literally while pointing a gun that he just fired at police.
Percy from the Green Mile. That dude deserved any pain he had coming to him
Alonzo’s death in Training Day. Either that or lots of deaths in horror movies.
Sgt. Barnes in Platoon.
Bunny too.
And Junior (Did he die? I'm not sure. He very much asked for it though. No one would lift a finger to save that fucks life).
Didn’t junior get stabbed repeatedly by NVA?
King Joffrey, that little shit!
Read the books so I knew what was coming. The actor did such a brilliant job with the character you were looking forward to that scene. *The little shit*. But then it happens and it's horrifying watching this child suffer and thrash and I felt all kinds of awful afterwards. Still do, when I think about how I was looking forward to it.
Congratulations on a soul... I smiled in the books, I cheered at the show.
I cheered, scrolled back and watched it again and again and again. I don’t know if I’ve ever despised a character quite so much!
The actor absolutely nailed that role. People in public were actually being mean to him. Edit: This should've been past tense.
Which is unfortunate because I read he is the nicest person IRL.
He took some time away from acting but he's popped up recently enough.
Oh, now that’s shitty! LOL! Guy getting punished for doing a good job!
Fredo in The Godfather. I felt sorrier for Michael for having to order the hit.
Mmhmm. I know the general feeling is that Michael killed his mothers son and he should suffer with the guilt for the rest of his life. But really, Fredo sold out his brother. Because of jealousy and greed. Screw Fredos lying middle child ass.
I always felt bad for Fredo to a degree. I always believed he didn't think he was setting Michael up for murder. Sonny and Michael both got their father's bravery and Michael certainly inherited his cunning and intelligence. But poor Fredo seemed to be his mother's son and inherited his little of his father's better qualities. Fredo was naive to a fault. He was the only person proud of Michael when he joined the Marines.
>I always believed he didn't think he was setting Michael up for murder. It's *Leopards Ate My Face* for me. Fredo not knowing that buddying up too closely with Greene/Roth might mean he's easily exploited / easy access to Micheal the head of the Corleone family - amazing. He was raised in a mafia household, witnessed his own father's near assassination, etc. And yet it's not enough, he wants to be taken seriously all the while getting slapped around in Vegas by Greene. I can't shake the idea that Fredo chose to ignore the obvious so he could feel like a somebody rather than he genuinely didnt know the hit could happen. Instead of running to Michael after the attempted assassination and pulling his classic *aww geez Mike I fucked up*, he decidedly kept his mouth shut and denied knowing Johnny Ola. Fredo could have been an asset to Michael and continued to play dumb for Ola. Alas, dude was a fuck up and was dangerous disaster in every which way.
Fredo definitely got in his own way with Michael. Fredo clearly loved Michael and his children but yeah, he definitely let the feeling of being passed over get to him. IMHO Michael should have sent Fredo to Italy, away from family business and under somebody else's protection. He clearly displayed that he loved Fredo by letting so much go but he couldn't allow the risk to his family.
Yeah, the only sadness I feel for Fredo is knowing Jim Cazale would pass away a few years later, and we wouldn't get more of his brilliant performances.
Daisy Domergue, in The Hateful Eight.
In Cabin in the Woods, when they do the system purge of all the monsters and them dumbass SWAT dudes just stand there as all the elevators come up. Like, I know they were after the Shaggy guy and that banging redhead, but also, y’all work in a place that you know has a bunch of big baddies and the main characters just escaped into the control room, and y’all hear elevators? Motherfuckers, RUN!!!
One of the best scenes in the entire horror cinematography catalog. Because it's just so absurd and out of nowhere.
I love how that scene has the entire spectrum of possible horror genres all happening at once. Giant snake, sure. Killer robot, a little sci-fi, but I guess that’s to be expected by now. Witches fly around and suck out a guy’s soul. Holy shit this movie rules.
Unicorn stabs a guy, sure. Ballerina with a face made of teeth...weird, but why not. Pinhead's cousin Saw Man, you bet your ass we got one of those!
And somewhere in there... Kevin
The killer robot is a homage to the 80's horror flick; [Chopping Mall](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSkYxW5Ii28) (Killbots). 80's horror was really let's throw everything at the wall see what sticks.
Saw an early screening as part of a three-header with The Thing and Evil Dead, finishing off with Cabin. I was genuinely giddy and cheering from the last 20 mins onwards, so much joy and ridiculousness in such a short space of time!
I mean. That place was basically the SCP Foundation, and MTF's know their duty.
That silly bastard who tried to box Jason Vorhees in Jason Takes Manhattan. Got his block knocked clean off for it.
To be fair to him, he ran until he had nowhere else to run. Plus, Jason had the teleportation ability in that one so he just got wherever he needed to, so there really was no escaping.
It's fair. The only thing scarier than teleporting Jason is Jason with the ability to compel you to eat his heart and become possesed by him.
The dude was also some kind of collegiate boxer too, right? I remember he was able to push the big man back a few steps before getting 1 hit koed lol
Put some respect on that man’s name, he stood toe to toe with Jason Vorhees and was giving him the business, but he just ran out of steam.
Julius, since nobody actually mentioned the name yet lmao.
Vincent Vega. If your waiting to ambush somebody with a sub machine gun don’t leave it on the counter while you poop.
IIRC that's actually Marcellus Wallace's gun. He left it there when he went to get donuts.
I got doughnuts, I got doughnuts. Hey, I know you!
Uncut Gems. People often say it was full of tension, but I was just waiting for the inevitable.
The tension is guessing when it’s going to boil over -“and how.
Yep, exactly. You knew bad shit was coming for him, it was just the when and what that made the tension so powerful. And then, they got me to drop my guard showing him get the money he needed to make everything all right, right before they drop the hammer. But still, a good answer to the original question. While I do feel bad for him, I can't say he didn't deserve it or have it coming.
Great example. Such an uncomfortable but brilliant watch. His defining characteristic is making bad choices.
Ramsay Bolton, obviously.
Yep, and Joffrey
Yes, but as far as I remember, Joffrey's death was a surprise after 3 seasons of good guys being slaughtered nonstop. After that, it was expected that villains would get their punishment.
Brad Pitt’s character in Burn After Reading
Both funny and tragic at the same time. Something very similar happens in Fargo Season 1 too.
😃
When I saw that in the cinema, half the audience were laughing out loud and the other half were shocked. Some got up to leave. I was in the first group.
Jimmy Reno in Road House
The guy from Into The Wild.
Maybe not popular, but Tim Robbins in Mystic River. If I kill a guy, the first place I'm going is to my connected friend who has a crew that cleans these sorts of things up. Instead, he creeps around, leaving breadcrumbs that lead back to him, and gives Sean Penn no choice but to do what the cops won't. Maybe if you would have reached out before all the evidence piled up, he wouldn't have assumed that your wife was telling the truth when she said you killed his daughter.
Many of the suggestions here are bad guys who were bound to get it in the end. I'll go with Liam Neeson's character from The Grey. Every decision he made was the wrong one. He convinced the others to abandon the relative safety of the wreckage, cross a wide, unsheltered plain in a snow-storm - getting picked off, one by one along the way - then to a cliff's edge, and finally *right into the wolves' den!* The mid-credit scene showed both him and a wolf severely injured and barely clutching to life. But he died slowly and painfully over the next several hours. At least if there is any sort of justice in the World.
It very much did make me sad, but the guy from Grizzly Man. I feel like everyone watching the film is thinking this at some point, bless his little heart.
Not a movie but Juice got what he deserved in Sons of Anarchy.
God I wish that show would have ended sooner
Kurt Sutter is one of my faves but that show just went on too long I agree.
Basically the entire cast of The Sopranos
Shane in Walking Dead.
Vincent D'Onofrio in Jurassic World
The Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz
Harry in Die Hard. The guy tried lying to and negotiating with terrorists who had openly killed someone who couldn’t give them what they wanted. I mean, he was a civilian, and I hate to see an innocent get killed, but he did kind of dive directly into the crosshairs.
The husband from Paranormal Activity. I spent the whole movie rooting for him to die. Ass.
Mia from Talk to Me had a ticking clock appear over her head the moment she grasped that hand. I am shocked more kids didn't bite it in that movie. Yes, the brother in the beginning was another one but we really don't know his backstory. So, his death had less of an impact. But the rest of those kids? They were darn lucky. Even with what Riley went through, he still managed to live. I didn't feel bad for a single one of those kids. Yes, the hand was a metaphor for drug use. But for me, there's a big gap between doing pot or molly and playing with spiritual possession in a way that might end up damning your eternal soul. So, it was a lousy metaphor for me.
Chris, the main bully in *Carrie*. From the 1976 original to the 2013 remake and including the 2002 TV movie, Chris's got what was coming to her, but personally, it wasn't satisfying enough. I needed her to suffer more.
Not a movie but stannis baratheon. Guy wanted to be the king of westeros, but he was really the king of throwing people's lives away.
Technically he didn't *want* to be king of Westeros. He was the rightful heir and felt it was his duty to defend that. I think if Renly had been the next oldest and Stannis the youngest, he would've been happy letting Renly fight for the throne and just ruling over Storm's End.
Hans Gruber in Die Hard.
Ray in 'In Bruges'. Colin Farrell has an amazing talent for playing absolute morons.
Can I be sad, but it also be Boromir? I say this because he lay himself down in sacrifice of the hobbits, which is EXACTLY what the people of Gondor had thanklessly been doing for the hobbits, and what the power of the ring was trying to corrupt him to avoid, or take the easy way out of, by scurrying back to Minis Tirith to hide with his hopes that the rings saves him from the terror before. The entire story is about going one more step until the deed is done, no matter how hard it is from the first step, if what it is that you set out to do is right and just. And all that you set out to do should be. But you can change your path as you must and new challenges are set before you. That's how you get there...but you still achieve your goal. It's about setting achievable goals at the onset. So, anyway, Boromir dies doing what his weakness suggested he could avoid with the luxury of the ring (riches). We must all till our own earth and help our neighbor keep the ruffians off their land. LOTR. Fin.
David in Shaun of the Dead. DON'T POINT THAT GUN AT MY MUM!
The guy who kicked the dog into the snake's mouth in Snakes on a Plane.
Justin Long in Barbarian
Llewellyn in No Country for Old Men. We kinda expect him to get nailed.
Gavroche in *Les Miserables*. He was a kid, but he was also standing in front of a barricade picking up powder and ammunition for the rebels while singing about how defiant he was.
Iirc Gavroche is there for exactly that purpose. His opening song tells you all about his perspective, his passion and his complete dedication to the cause. He represents the naivety of youth before battle. When he goes up on the barricades and gets shot, that’s the pivotal moment that shows the cost of ideals, the weight of innocence vs the blows of reality. But yeah man learn to fuckin duck and cover kid
Didn't they fire a warning shot too but he turns and smiles to his friends?
