10 Most Badass Movie Death Scenes Of All Time

10. Samuel L. Jackson Gets Eaten By A Motherf*cking Shark! - Deep Blue Sea

At first viewing, this seemed like any other legendary Samuel L. Jackson monologue, equal parts furious and triumphant. Sure, it lacked the nastiness of his Ezekiel 25:17 rant from Pulp Fiction or the pure emotive brilliance of his Mr. Glass speech from Unbreakable, but this was certainly one of his more heroic rallying cries.

Unfortunately, before his onscreen audience can really take his words to heart and break out into the kind of righteous applause we'd expect for such a rousing sermon, Mr. Jackson suddenly - like, seriously, out of nowhere - gets ripped apart by a genetically engineered shark.

The only thing better than Jackson's earnest delivery is the giddy shrewdness with which the filmmakers pull the rug out from under his - and our - feet.

"We're not going to fight ANYMORE! We're going to PULL together, and we're going to FIND a way out of here! First, we're going to seal off this AARRRGGHHHHHH!!!!!!" Aaaaaand, there's your mutant shark attack.

Hell, it's hard to even call this a shark attack. It's more like a shark missile launcher turned shark wood-chipper. A CGI Jackson is crunched in half by the beast before being drug into the water. It's gnarly. And also pretty awesome.
