Sounds more like a list Cosmo would do. Amirite?

Gunkata at 24.

What I thought would be #1 was #3. Not bad. I haven't seen enough of this sort of film to gauge the overall list, though.

If they were counting television, they should include Buffy dispatching Caleb: Axe up between the legs, hit the crotch, pause, and then bisect him all the way up. The squishy *thud* pause *thud* of his two halves hitting the floor... awesome.

The magic trick from The Dark Knight is number 2.

I do give them props, however, for a surprisingly varied list. List by committee can yield interesting results.

I'm very glad the grandma-getting-killed-by-a-peanut scene from Daredevil has made such an indelible impression on the zeitgeist.

I was thinking the same thing. That was one of the more interesting lists I've seen on Empire.

But yeah, #3 should have been #1 (imho)

[Dead & Messed Up]

I'm sorry, but where was Mad Max's genius disposal of Johnny the Boy? That's top ten material.

"The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel. It'd take you ten minutes to hack through it with this. Now, if you're lucky, you could hack through your ankle in five minutes. Go."

Many of the list entires have people slow-walking away from their awesomeness. Why not include one where the slow walk is more than stupid posturing?

#1 was a pleasant surprise.

Inexcusable to have two Rambo sequels and NOT the scene in Rambo 2 with the exploding arrow.

I'll always remember sitting in a theater as a kid and seeing #33.
