10 More Greatest 'I'm Dead And I Know It' Moments In Movie History

10. Green Goblin's Moment Of Clarity - Spider-Man

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy was nothing if not thoroughly aware of its own silliness, and perhaps never more than during the climactic battle between Spidey (Tobey Maguire) and Norman Osborn's supervillain alter-ego, the Green Goblin (a sublime Willem Dafoe).

At what appears to be the conclusion of the fight, a defeated Osborn feigns contrition, begging Peter Parker's forgiveness for his rampage of terror, all while secretly teeing up his bladed glider to impale Peter from behind.

However, when Norman sends the glider hurtling towards Peter, the hero uses his spider-sense to leap over the glider, causing it to fly directly into Norman himself, fatally impaling him.

Hilariously, though, Raimi opts for a slightly fourth wall-breaking moment before Norman is hit, stripping away all background sound effects and focusing simply on Norman as he realises he's about to die and calmly quips, "Oh."

It's as though, in this brief aside, Norman had a fleeting moment of mental clarity before being shuffled off this mortal coil.
