10 Even More Best "I'm Dead And I Know It" Movie Moments

10. Nuke To The Gut - Broken Arrow

John Woo's famously trashy mid-90s actioner Broken Arrow wraps up with the fittingly bombastic demise of antagonist Major Vic "Deak" Deakins (John Travolta).

In the final battle, Deakins and hero Captain Riley Hale (Christian Slater) are fighting over a remote control which can arm or disarm Deakins' stolen nuclear warhead, which happens to have been stashed onboard a train.

In the end, Hale beats Deakins down and grabs the remote, which he uses to deactivate the nuke mere seconds before the train carriage housing the nuke crashes into the halted carriage in front of it.

The impact cause the disarmed nuke to be catapulted forward with incredible force, giving Deakins just enough time to stand to his feet as he realises what's about to happen.

As the nuke travels towards him like a bullet, he smirks knowingly, seeming to take some sick satisfaction in how thoroughly he's been hoist by his own petard.

The impact of the nuke would surely kill Deakins instantly, but to rub salt in the wound he's catapulted into a bunch of flaming barrels, causing him to explode in what is truly one of John Woo's "John Woo-iest" scenes.
