The infamous head explosion in Scanners always cracks me up.

While looking for that Scanners clip, I also found a cool montage of nothing but exploding head scenes from various movies. Enjoy!

For me, the scene where all those people get killed in Shark Attack 3: Megalodon. You know, horrible greenscreen effect where somehow the shark swallows a raft, a guy on a jet ski riding straight into the shark's mouth, and another guy jumps ship and fall straight into the shark's mouth. It's not the funniest death scene, but I find it amusing and horribly bad at the same time.

I didn't find most of these death scenes funny, but found them extremely ridiculous. The movie to which I refer to is Frogs. Pretty much every scene where a person gets killed is stupid, funny, makes you spit out your food or water, or combonation of all three. The one that sticks with me is where the woman gets killed by the snapping turtle. I mean, come on!

In Raiders of teh Lost Ark, where the big guy gets into the airplane prop. That was pretty funny, as are most of the killings in Boondock Saints.

I thought it was hysterical in that scene in Bad Dreams where the doctor hits the guy with his car and yells, "Touchdown!"

Technically, it doesn't count as death since that turns out to be a hallucination.

(Sadly, can't find a youtube video of it.)

There's a Vincent Price revenge movie. One of the people he takes revenge on is a food critic, if I recall correctly, who is killed by being force fed a meal made of his pet poodle.

Ah, here we go (I love YouTube's search engine): Theater of Blood

Wow, didn't realize there were that any exploding head scenes out there in movies. And what's crazy, is I can only identify about half of those clips! AHHH!

BTW, anyone know where 2:26 is from? (Asian guy getting ready to take a picture, blond girl turns around, smiles, and then her head explodes.)

I laughed when the guy in Titanic pinged against the mast of the ship while it was sinking which I admit is rather horrible for me to do.

I'll have a list later, but first, I just want to ccorrect something. The actor there, who was British character actor Robert Morely, was not a food critic in the film, but a theater critic. The other theater critics in the film being played by British character actors: Ian Hendry, Harry Andrews, Coral Browne (who later married Price), Robert Coote, Jack Hawkins, Michael Hordern, Arthur Lowe, and Dennis Price. Each one, except for one, being murdered by Price's character in the film. And each murder being based upon one of Shakespeare's plays. Morely's death being based on Shakespeare's "Titus Andronicus," where one of the female characters unknowingly eats her two sons, who have been baked into a pie. A good film and a favorite of most actors.

According to the creator, 2:26 is Jack Frost 2. Funny, I must not have been paying attention to that part.

Daria Nicoladi's death in Phenomena is a classic:
