6. Kovacs Loses His Fingers (And His Life) - The Grand Budapest Hotel
Who Dies?: Deputy Kovacs (Jeff Goldblum), a lawyer acting on behalf of the Grand Budapest Hotel's mysterious owner. Method of Death: Unknown, as it occurs off-screen (by William Defoe's J.G. Jopling). Why It's Awesome: Because it provides one of the most hilariously, unexpectedly grotesque moments in a Wes Anderson film. As Kovacs arrives at the Kunst Museum, he is met by Jopling, who closes a door on his fingers, severing four of them off mere moments before silencing Kovacs once and for all. It's a rare moment of brutal gore in an Anderson film, but a perfectly judged one, both extremely amusing and just the right side of unpleasant.
