Le Chiffre getting killed by Mr. White was a nod to the original Casino Royale where he was killed by a SMERSH assassin sent to kill him for embezzlement of funds.
Except it isn't a knotted rope in the book, but a carpet beater which were quite common in Britain at the time! But the rest of the Planet wouldn't have a clue as to What-the-hell it was! 🤔
And in the book that was the plan in the first place. The British weren't going to openly assassinate Le Chiffre, they were going to get him killed by his own people.
True enough, 007 became very popular in America after JFK was interviewed and photographed reading the novels by Ian Fleming and then appearing in playboy magazine as a runner up to the release of Dr. No in 1962.
In Deadpool if the headmaster had been killed by a mutant his hatred of them would have been justified. The fact he was killed by another normal person proves he was wrong.
This doesn't just happen in action films. Sipsey being the one to kill Frank Bennett in Fried Green Tomatoes was a big surprise after making Idgie a red herring the whole time.
Being an avid fan of Tsui-Hark/John Woo era Hong Kong cinema, I was indeed super suprised by the twist in the Departed. I love how it came out of nowhere and how satisfying it was.
The first time I watched The Lost Boys, I thought that ending was absolutely epic in its staging. I knew the grandpa was going to have a larger role to play. If you ever do a video on awesome movie grandparents, he should be up there.
Independence Day was completely predictable. The cropduster came into the story repeatedly and persistently through the entire movie, showing his dedication to fighting the aliens and refusal to give up at every step. Not only was him hitting the alien weapon completely predictable, but the amount of build up his character had would have been deeply disappointing if he hadn't been the one to do it.
Maaaaan. Marsan is a gorram legend. A stellar character actor that’s gotten to do incredible parts I can’t think of a time he hasn’t popped on screen, I go ‘oh! That guy!’ and am not entirely absorbed by his performance (eyes SOLIDLY transfixed on him) It takes me a minute to remember names, but when they finally click and I see their name attached to a project, I’m it goes on my list, no questions asked Eddie Marsan is (hopefully) now on that list (Ngl… two decades for Bill Fichtner to finally click. Same if not longer for Dourif xD **snake shake** “Outcome unlikely”)
Karl's surviving isn't that inexplicable, since he was clearly holding the chain from his neck. That plus the roof explosion likely freeing him made it quite likely.
Please do one on tv series. I do believe that the death of a certain mad tyrant by non other than the attache in Babylon 5 may just be one of the most unexpected in any tv series
in the CASINO ROYALE novel, LeChiffre was also killed in this fashion, albeit by a Soviet agent, which was done in a different manner in the sixties spoof. It can't have been so unexpected that Dignam would kill Sullivan because he hadn't actually done anything in the movie besides mouth off, and still got billed above the title.
Bane in The Dark Knight Rises - killed by Catwoman, King Laufey in Thor - killed by Loki, Alderich Killian in Iron Man 3 - killed by Pepper Potts, The raptors in Jurassic Park - killed by the T-Rex, The Indominus Rex in Jurassic World - killed by the Mosasaurus, Russel Cargill in The Simpsons Movie - killed by Maggie Simpson, Lord Faquaad in Shrek - killed by the dragon Grigori Rasputin in The King's Man - killed by Polly Watkins
Unverified trivia, but I recall that Pepper kills the villain because it was originally Maya Hansen, who was willing partners with Killian, rather than a remorseful one. But supposedly someone in the studio didn't want a woman to be the main antagonist.
Thor Ragnarok was kind of right there in the title though, and with them introducing Surtur in the first few minutes...if I remember correctly, he brings about Ragnarok so if the viewer has a little Norse Mythology up there sleeve they probably guessed it within the first few minutes.
In Clear And Present Danger, villain Joaquim de Almeida isn't killed by Harrison Ford, or even military squad leaders Willem Dafoe or Benjamin Bratt. It's squad member Raymond (Tuco!) Cruz who guns down the bad guy. Ford doesn't kill anyone in that film. Awesome movie with bonkers good cast.
After 6 movies of inactivity I definitely didn't expect for Hoffman to get killed by Dr. Lawrence Gordon in Saw 7 (3D). Even less for Gordon to have been working with Jigsaw the entire time.
I’m almost 100% sure that this second video was created because for the first video, they thought, “What can we do with the clip of Doc Holliday shooting Johnny Ringo?”
Actually, Mr. White in Quantum of Solace qualifies for this list because he's killed by M's assistant. And frankly, that's the best part of that whole movie. As M says, "Everybody says, 'We have people everywhere!' but they don't always have somebody in your room." Her frustration that Bond doesn't leave him alive so that she can find out why one of her most trusted people betrayed her is palpable. From there the movie goes downhill, but M's being so hurt that a guy on her Christmas list works for the enemy was well done. Eh, it's Dame Judi Dench, I shouldn't be surprised...but it's well-written and well-played and seems like a good start to a good movie. (Actually, the ending of the movie, where Bond kills the "boyfriend" who betrayed the woman he loved, is pretty good, too. How much did the bulk of that movie have to suck to drag down a lot of good parts?)
I don't even think the "bad" parts of that movie are as bad as people think. It is just that it is a familiar Bond movie, with fine but previously explored territory, which seems like nobody wanted since Casino Royale shook up the formula.
You could even say this is similar to the top satisfying deaths, considering the hero doesn't do the villain in. I just watched Speed and Howard was in a clear position to loose more than just his head.....
The sad thing about DotM is that the comic version actually does have Prime and Megatron truce, with a remorseful Megatron saying he just wants his home back. Would have liked to see that ending
Sgt. Al Powell didn't kill the kid. He said "I shot a kid." and then points out "They never teach you how to live with a mistake." As a result, we never know if the kid dies - though since he didn't say "I killed a kid" it's just as likely the kid survived.
A comedy example, plus an undead villain, so might not count as dead dead. Leslie Nielson opens the basement door, unknowingly knocking the evil Ring girl into the well.
It happens so often it might not be unexpected anymore, but still - barring one example, and obviously the ones that survive, every live-action Spider-Man villain kills themselves: - A half 'n' half with the Burglar, who fled into a construction site, failing to notice the danger, thus trips from a high floor, falling to his death. - Green Goblin was so incensed to kill Spider-Man, he fails to realise he was in the path of his glider, thus impales himself. - Doc Ock in a redemption, drags his unstable energy generator he made into the river, but his arms drag him down, drowning him. - Eddie Brock was unable to live without the Venom symbiote, so jumped into it, despite the Goblin bomb about to destroy it. - Mysterio is killed by stray bullets from the drones he controlled.
It is probably on other lists, but Butch killing Vincent was unexpected (Vincent is a villain protagonist, but is just a villain in Butch's story). After Vincent accidentally causes the overdose of Mia Wallace, but manages to save her, avoiding the wrath of Marsellus Wallace, makes it seem like Vincent is scot-free. But then, the boxer picks up a submachine gun, wasting the toilet-frequent flyer.
The Headmaster from Deadpool and Red the Bankrobber from Hancock are played by the same actor. I guess he's good at playing fundamentally pathetic people, like Peter from World's End.
In White House Down, Channing Tatum's character was about to be killed by one of the main terrorists. That terrorist was hit, then bludgeoned by the tour guide using a mantle clock. The guide was angry because they destroyed the antiques in the White House.
Only we don't actually see Hela die. Yes, we're told she draws he power from Asgard but if she could survive Odin's banishment where she had no access to Asgard, I'm sure she could have survived Suture.

Bellatrix Lestrange - Harry Potter Franchise Jafar - Aladdin The Return of Jafar. Jade Warlord - Forbidden Kingdom Unicron - Transformers The Movie. Starscream - Michael Bay's Transformer
Al kills a guy named Carl . . . and is traumatized because he shot a kid. There's a meme out there about him being Carl Winslow and that the kid he accidentally killed was Steve Urkel. 😂 We know it wasn't an accident. 😅
One of my favorites is Beverly Hills Cop 2, when Brigitte Nielsen's Karla Fry is about to execute Axel Foley, and is unexpectedly wasted by Sergeant Taggart!
Actually Jason Bateman was saving Charlize Theron not Hancock. Remember if the two immortals remain close they turn mortal. And when Hancock was being shot it was killing Bateman movie wife. So he was really manning up and saving his wife by saving hancock.
ID4 was a crap movie that seemed like it was edited by an AI chimpanzee. The book was slightly more interesting, but Randy Quaid's character was given better motivation, so his kamikaze actions were better understood than his brief 3 shots in the film.
The Hong Kong original is vastly superior and is actually a trilogy. Not going spoil anything but what the narrator said wasn't entirely accurate. One of the two main is Tony Leung, most Westerners probably know him from portraying WenWu from Marvel's Shang Chi. EDIT: I love Scorsese and The Departed is an excellent film. But the overall story is wildly different if compared to the trilogy entirety.
Here's why Ragnarock was stupid: Thor EASILY defeated The Fire demon, then Hella EASILY defeated Thor, but it Fire demon defeats Hella. How does that work?
Surtur was weakened when Thor defeated him, Odin had attempted to stop Ragnarok from happening centuries ago by taking something called the "Eternal Flame", which seemed to be the source of his power, from him. Surtur beat Hela because Loki used the Eternal Flame to resurrect him, and _he had it back,_ making him stronger _and_ healing his crippled limbs. In short, Thunder God beat Fire Demon when Fire Demon weak, but not beat Death Goddess, not strong enough. So he make Lie God give Fire Demon back magic fire, and Fire Demon get strong and beat Death Goddess.

Whats it with the "…ah" appended to every third or so word-ah? Is that a slang-ah or some personal style of pronunciation-ah? Or does one speak-ah like that in a certain part of the country-ah? (actually the question is kinda serious)
I read Ian Fleming's novel "Casino Royale" in 1970. The surprise in the Daniel Craig movie, was that the 2nd half of the film ACTUALLY FOLLOWED THE BOOK. If the idiots in charge of the 007 movies had any sense, would would have ADAPTED Fleming's work more often, not less. After CR updated the 1st novel, I was actually hoping they'd find a way to adapt and update the 2nd novel-- my FAVORITE-- "Live And Let Die". Instead, they did an entirely-new film that pretty much EVERYBODY agreed was a piece of crap.
@@LordBaktor I know, I am Swedish. most of the edda was written in old norwegian and icelandic though. I grew up reading all the norse mythology I could though and Marvel gets between fifty and sixty percent of it bass ackwards
@@djeeno I would've bet the wrong percentage was higher. The very first Thor comics by Marvel were a little closer to the mythology and were basically a not as bloody Conan the Barbarian style. The Sci-fi aesthetic came later.
The headmaster might be a bad guy, but I wouldn't call him the antagonist. Since that's the person trying to prevent the protagonist from reaching their goals, that would actually be Cable.
Le Chiffre didn’t kill Vesper, it was the Quantum group that sent the secret agent to seduce Vesper before Casino Royale. At the end of the Casino Royale movie, Bond catches the agent seducing another woman from a different intelligence agency. Apparently it was a scheme to make agents fall in love with the Quantum agent and stage an kidnapping to force cooperation.
