Slim Pickens, as Major Kong, astride an H-bomb like a bronco rider, hat in hand, screaming with delight as he plumets in a graceful parabolic arc toward "nuk-ku-lar combat toe to toe with the Rooskis"

Even though he didn't die, O.J. was pretty funny in "The Naked Gun" when he got shot, etc. etc.

On that note, what avout Ricardo Montalbans LUdwig charcter. Dart in the neck, falls off a building, gets run over by a bulldozoer, and then trampled by a marching band. Priceless (along with George Kennedy's "My uncle went the same way....") [:D]

Well, then you only have yourself to blame! [:D]
Another one I just thought of, was actually one where we don't really see the death: the final scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Oh yah, I'll go along with you on that one. Great final scene.
I'll put in another nominee:
Steve McQueens' death in 'The Sand Pebles'. Fights off numerous Chinese with a B.A.R., then dies making his run to escape -
"what happened...what the hell happened!"
(I also just love that battle scene when they went up river to break the blockade and rescue everyone at China Light. The whole sequence sends shivers up my spine[:)]).
I agree 110%. In fact it was that movie (and scene) that forced me to put the Chinese gunboats in War Plan Orange.
"High pressure steam wow" priceless. "Live steam. Live steam... DEAD Steam."

I'd have to go with the scene in "Saving Private Ryan" where the German sniper is looking through his scope...and for a split second sees the American sniper pointing his gun right at him, and he pulls the trigger...
Bullet shatters German sniper's scope approximately 3 microseconds before it shatters his face....
YEAH!
I think the death of the medic in the same film is considerably more emotional

I can think of some interesting death scenes in "Lust in the Dust" with Devine and Tab Hunter (if you know what I'm talking about) [:D][:D][:D]

No, No, No... The Best death was the old man in the Bring Out Yer Dead scene in M. Python's Holy Grail.
