Who Dies?: Major William Cage (Tom Cruise). Method of Death: Crushed by a truck. Why It's Awesome: Picking just one death scene from Doug Liman's criminally under-appreciated action flick is no easy feat, given that the premise revolves around Cage getting a Groundhog Day-style reboot every time he dies. Still, the movie's funniest and most unexpected death scene comes when Cage attempts to sneak out of his military regiment by rolling under a passing truck. However, he mis-time his roll and gets crushed under the wheels, much to the confused disgust of Master Sergeant Farrel (Bill Paxton).
