Top 10 Movies with the Most Shocking Deaths
Some movie deaths stay with you long after the credits roll, leaving you stunned, shaken, or outright floored. These are the moments that take a sudden left turn, catching you completely off guard and making you rethink everything you just watched. Maybe it's a character you thought was untouchable, a scene so sudden it feels like a punch to the gut, or a twist so unexpected you can't stop replaying it in your mind.
Leo's character gets shot in the face as soon as the elevator door opens. It's shocking because it looked like Matt Damon was in trouble. Talk about unexpected.
A child gets run down by a truck! How many times does that happen!
It looks like it's going to end well when suddenly, Danny gets shot in the restroom by a student he had a confrontation with earlier in the film. Wow. That shocked me big time. Just when everything was back to normal, death arrived and took Derek's brother.
Thomas Jane's character shoots everybody... Right before the army comes to save the day.
George Clooney shoots Brad Pitt's head off. Didn't see that coming, especially between those two.
Just as he's giving a motivational speech about how they're not going to die, he... dies.
Samuel L. Jackson gets chewed up by a shark.
You knew Chef Dick Hallorann was going to get killed while walking through the lobby. You just didn't know at what time.
Dick getting axed to death was the scariest part of the movie.
Yoda passes away peacefully. You'd think such a powerful master would never die, but I guess nobody's invincible (except Jason).
I think it would be pretty cool to see someone disappear after they die, just like Obi-Wan and Yoda.
I never want to die from being eaten by a sarlacc because once you've been eaten by one, you will be digested for 1,000 years.
Right when Tommy was slowly becoming a better person, he gets shot by the warden.
In the 1984 Red Dawn, Jed lives. But in this Red Dawn remake, Jed gets shot in the head by a Korean soldier. How shocking was that?
If you never read the books, Dumbledore dying probably punched you square in the face!
We knew Han Solo for 38 years, and the way his death happened was just indescribable, yet totally unexpected as well. His son, Ben (Kylo Ren), killed him with his own lightsaber without telling him he was going to. No words can describe this tragedy, which is an understatement for such a movie and character fate.
This should really be number one! We couldn't believe our eyes a character we knew for almost 4 decades like Han Solo would be killed by his own son!
Yeah, talk about messing the bed.
William Peterson is the star of the movie, and he gets whacked with a half hour to go.
If you remember this scene as a kid, Mufasa is expecting his brother to save him, but he instead throws him off the gorge, killing him.
I am a leaf in the wind. Watch as I splat.
Khan crushing the Admiral's head with his bare hands got the heebie jeebies out of me.
