Unusual Murder Weapons In Movies

Death by Pencil (The Dark Knight).  It still gets me!

Death by Tanning Bed (Final Destination 3).  Heck with it, pretty much all the death scenes in that film series!

I've had several knuckleheads work for me that swear they are wrongfully imprisoned because a conviction can not happen if the body can't be found. What an ignorant way of logic that seems to be to me.

Well, that at least sounds semi-reasonable.  I mean, they're thinking, "Can't find a body, can't prove there was a murder!  She might be on tour in Europe or something..." 

Course, then they just have to explain away the several pints of the missing person's blood and DNA the police found all over the apartment, in the car, and other such evidence.

Yea, but the idea that one should get a total walk just because they're good at disposing of a body is just retarded.

Well, along those lines, If you traveled to a city you have no history in, pick a person at random, murder them, clean the obvious evidence, haul the body to another state and dispose of it in a fashion that would eliminate locating it, I think you'd have a good chance of getting away with it.  Maybe.

I don't know whether it's possible, the mention of the ice bullet, reminded me of that other classic mystery murder weapon made out of ice: the icicle. Supposedly, you stab someone to death with it, and then when it melts, there's no trace of a weapon.

Of course you would.  Keep this in mind: the majority of murders are never solved.

Right, but that's not what I was speaking of, but rather the opposite: Even with a preponderance of evidence, many feel there should never be a conviction without a body.

Death by cup of tea in Chronicles of Riddick is another good one.

[Skull]

Death by Heat Seaking Bullet




Death by Toy Robots (ok not really... but they dont look strong enought to actually put a man down)



Both images are from Runaway (1984)

A flare gun was used to kill someone in Final Justice if I remember correctly.

How has no one mentioned the drill guitar from Slumber Party Massacre 2?  Seriously, who would ever need a drill guitar in their daily lives?  Having a 40 minute jam session while your tunneling through solid rock just doesn't seem smart...

[WingedSerpent]

Famke Jansen's thighs in GoldenEye

[retrorussell]

Paper clip in Student Bodies.  Yeah, that was pretty unusual.

And the eggplant.  And the Glad bags.  And the eraser.  And the prom queen crown.  And the sports trophy.  And the horsehead bookends.  Did I miss anything?

The flying CO2 canister beheading the guy in Street Trash.
A sheet of plexiglass in a rolling car chopping off David Warner's head in The Omen.
The death-by-pogo stick in Leprechaun 1 or 2, can't remember which.
Death by road flare and tourniquet in Friday The 13th Part V.
Death by party favor in F13 Part VII.

[Psycho Circus]

Spurs in Near Dark.

Master of the Flying Guillotine (1975): That's pretty unusual.

Monty Python's And Now for Something Completely Different: The bit about the worlds funniest joke. The writer of the joke, after writing it, reads it and immediately dies laughing.  His mother comes in, reads it, thinking it's a suicide note, and dies laughing.  The English army translates the joke in to German so that English soldiers who don't know German can yell the joke out loud and the enemy can understand it.  Results in mass German casualties.  This was absolute genius comedy.

Oh man..  Time to name some silly kung fu weapons.

One character slips on a roller skate and lands face first on his own weapon in We Are Going To Eat You.  So, the roller skate.  Yeah.

I remember someone getting killed with a metal pinwheel in several kung fu films.

A guy gets killed by a sword that shoots poison gas bullets in Return of the One-Armed Swordsman. 

Failed, but a baddie tries to kill Ricky in the Story of Ricky with his own intestines!

In the remake of Dragon Gate Inn, someone's hand gets skeletonized and he STABS someone with it. 

In La Blue Girl, the girl shoots pubic hairs that kill people.

Sammo Hung alters a giant tropical leaf into a missile shooting weapon in Eastern Condors.
