Most embarrasing villian death

[Lucky Bob]

Which one of these movie villian deaths was just plain embarrasing? Here are your choices (courtesty IMDB.com who is running a similair poll. I just didn't include the link because they change it often):

Getting melted by a little girl in a checker-blue dress - Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz

Accidentally "bumped" into the gullet of a nasty Sarlaac by a blinded, Rebel scum - Boba Fett in Return of the Jedi

Getting choked to death by a captive in a metal slave bikini - Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi

Having your entire invasion force destroyed by a computer virus (that just "happens" to be in a compatible format) written in 10 minutes by a civilization thousands of years more primitive than your own - The aliens in Independence Day

Getting lost in a topiary maze and freezing to death - Jack Torrance in The Shining

[Sandoz]

My choice wasn't on the list. It belongs to Akio Ohtori, from the anime film Adolescance of Utena. He drugs his own sister, and tries to rape her, only to find that she was awake the whole time. After hearing that she was perfectly willing for him to have sex with her because he was her "prince" (it's a long story) he stabs her to death in a rage. Then, he stumbles around, muttering, and just falls out a window for no apparent reason, his legs dangling comically behind him. His scream is priceless.

I think probably the most embarrassing was Tsugaru from Tenchi in Tokyo. Killed by one of Mihoshi's accidents five minutes into the fight, how humiliating is that?

Jonny Cage in Mortal Kombat Anihilation,

He defeated the mighty Goro in the first movie without taking a single blow!

but he doesn't even last the first 5 minutes of the sequel!

[The Guard]

I nominate the villain from SPEED. The man just had to duck and he would have lived.

Joker in Return of the Joker Edited version.


slipping in a puddle and electrocuting himself

need I say more? :rolleyes:

Re: Jack Torrance--Stan Kubrick pulled a total one-eighty with the movie adaptation. Torrance's death in the Stephen King novel was much more noble, and drew a parallel between the ancient, overtaxed boiler and Jack's gradually deteriorating mental state.

Not much dignity in Fett's death (it seemed done just to keep from requiring Vader pausing in struggling with his dark half to whack the hunter when he came looking for his pay, so as not to weigh down the last hour of script), but like the others I'll go with my own: Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. Particularly in the later sequels, these guys suffered real ignomonious demises...and always at the hands of women, no less.... :rolleyes:

[Clayface]

I'm with DisneyBoy on this one - the Joker's death in the edited version of Return of the Joker was just too embarrassing.

I think Darth Maul should have been added to the list. While it wasn't the most embarrasing death...think about it. Darth Maul had incredibly fast reflexes. You can say he was caught by suprize...but....c'mon...he had PLENTY of reaction time before Obi-Wan cut him in half...plenty....but, he just stood there. :rolleyes:

It was fixed.

Ah, but Sandoz, Akio didn't die in the SERIES, only the movie, which, for all intents and purposes, was a drug-induced haze. (or maybe it just seemed that way...)

in the series, he's alive and well in the final scene.

Anyway, one of the goofiest death scenes I've ever seen was MaloMyotismon in the finale of Digimon 02. I mean, defeated by the power of positive thinking? Would this mean that he'd have had the same reaction to an episode of Tellytubbies?

However, the flat-out goofyness of this is overshadowed by a very dramatic and tragic death about two minutes later...*sniff, poor Yukio...*

[RogueMartian]

I would have to say the wicked queen in Snow White. Being chased by a bunch of dwarves over a cliff, that's like some sort of bizarre p.t. barnum stunt.

[Iridium]

The most embarassing death surely belongs to the mighty dragonslayer Damaramu from Dragon Half. After being frightened by a mouse, he accidentally impales himself in the head with his own lightsaber-like sword. And shortly afterwards, his mighty steed Roshi is roasted over a spit for dinner. Very embarrassing.

Of course, his abnormally small brain would come in handy in this instance . . . :)

I like the Jack Torrance death. It's so different it's entertaining. The most embarrasing deaths are the ones where the people come back alive later. (And how many times have they used this plot device in Xena and Buffy?)

I don't think that these were "embarrasing villian deaths.." This is a great topick though...How do you get rid of the villian? Many ways...Disney's way, was drop the villian down some endless cliff, pit, or sink him or her deep into the see. An interesting satire on the villian death, is in Shriek, where the villian is eaten by a flying dragon. Has any villian been eaten before? In BATS, Clayface and Joker face the Disney demise, but return...So I think these listed, are intersting not necessarily embarrasing. But, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion..thanks , Stuart ;)

[Depth Charge]

It was a close one between Fett or Jabba... but I chose Jabba's. It was close though....

[Lucky Bob]

I think that everyone agrees with me on good ol' Boba. However, I was kinda tempted on Independance Day, even though I've never seen it....

How about this?

Aliens: Oh no! The earthlings have pointed all our web browsers to hamsterdance.com!!!!!!

Attack of the Clones spoiler.


I think that Jango Fett's death was stupid. He was decapitated, so much for a noble death, same with Darth Maul.

I also agree that the Utena movie death was lame too.
As well as the Drangon Half death, it 's a funny show but kinda lame show.

[Blackjack]

But as you find out in the second episode, Damaramu didn't die, remember? He showed up with a stainless-steel body which promptly
runs out of gas

[Skiptastic]

Boba Fett's shouldnt be in there, because it is later found out, in the Star Wars books, that he DID NOT DIE there. He got out of that Sarlaac or whatever and went on.

Well, that's questionable - the expanded universe stuff is not considered canon by Lucas, so if Boba really died or not depends on what you consider canon, and what you don't.
