Unintentionally Funny Death Scenes

InformationGeek · April 03, 2011, 03:25:53 PM

Someone dying in a movie should invoke my different reactions and feelings; like shock, horror, or saddness. A death scenes should not make you laugh or giggle, unless of course they are going for that. What death scenes that are suppose to be serious that you found funny.

My all time pick is a movie I recently ran into called Anaconda 3: The Offspring. In that scene, a scientist gets speared through the chest by an anaconda's tail (It's Skiffy Channel science, don't think about it). The CGI and effects are so bad, from the tail to the blood that looks like melted chocolate, that I laughed out loud. It is so gloriously horrible, yet played so straight.

The scene happens right around 5:20. Also, the whole clip is in German, so don't watching anything else.

At about 3:40 in this video. I NEVER would have seen that coming

Prophecy, of course. Even when I was young enough to be scared by the movie, this part sent me into a giggling fit.

Gawd, all the time. Most recently I laughed while watching the remake of Dawn Of The Dead. Particularly the part where the bus flips over and the older guy ends up slicing the slutty girl with the chainsaw on accident.

The number one of all time, as mentioned in other threads, was the guy who dings off the propeller in Titanic.

There's a death I believe in Cave Dwellers where the hero beheads an enemy VERY unconvincingly (he just slaps the head off with his sword).
And the eye-popping scene in Friday the 13th part 3 is SO fake..

Too Too many. Sleepaway Camp is full of them. mind you I don;t think any of them are supposed to be taken seriously.

I laughed pretty hard at all the rampaging scenes in the Wolf Man 2010 remake.

Bill Paxton's death scene in Tombstone because, well, it's Bill Paxton.

And the killing of Murphy in Robocop. It is so violent I can't help but laugh.

The sleeping bag kill from one of the Friday the 13th sequels.

Don't know if this counts but -
In the original The Vanishing, when the hero finds himself buried alive after the villain tells him he'll show him what happened to his girlfriend/wife. I laughed. My GF was quite upset by my callowness.

I usually laugh at Dick Jones' death. Not the part that's supposed to be funny, but the stop-motion falling bit where his arms are about a foot too long.

On come on! No one's mentioned the scene in deep blue sea where sam jackson gets chomped by a shark right after his big inspirational speech?

Pathetic.....

Well that scene is more of a what the hell than a funny death.
