Poll question: Movies where psycho gives hero speech about enjoying killing him, then gets killed by hero
The old "I'm REALLY going to enjoy killing you...I'm going to...HURP!" (sound made while hero stabs psycho in the middle of his speech).

Case in point: Hal Holbrook tells Clint Eastwood that he's screwed in "Magnum Force." Five minutes later Holbrook's the main course at a weenie roast.

1. I think Tuco gave us all some good advice on this topic
"When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk."



Wise man.

6. I love that movie.
Also, the other classic mistake: Assuming the hero is dead without seeing a body.

10. Memo to myself: Read all posts before posting. Read all posts before posting.
Beautiful film. Love me some Pixar! I've heard rumors about a sequel to Cars, but I'd prefer one for The Incredibles.

5. The worst example of it ever...
...

The bad guy gives a rant about his group being the master race and throws out the word "PIG!" about a dozen times. Next thing you know, he's impaled on a hook and being burned alive.

9. Right after that came out, I remember someone taking the image
and putting Robert Smith's head on it, changing the text to, "Bad music is a disease. Meet the Cure."

11. "NO, Mr. Bond...I expect you to DIE."
Edited on Sun Sep-13-09 03:53 PM by Amerigo Vespucci


...definitely one of the "touchstones." If only the Bond villains didn't want to kill Bond SO MUCH, one of them might have gotten lucky.

:rofl:

13. Other: It's called "monologuing"
and isn't always an indication that the end is near for the villain.

For example: Syndrome in The Incredibles

:D
