20 Most Messed Up Deaths From The Star Trek Movies

7. Zero-G Is Freaky

"What a piece of work is a man!" said Shakespeare's Danish prince (and Jean-Luc Picard). In this case, it was two men, in gravity boots, and a cabal of co-conspirators. With Hamlet in the title, death was to be expected in The Undiscovered Country. "taH pagh taHbe'" was the original Klingon question, already answered for Gorkon.

Zero-g is fun until someone gets phasered. Post-prandial target practice was on the menu as the double assassins — Burke and Samno — beamed aboard the now weightless Kronos One. Having made rather a mess of the transporter room, they proceeded to paint the corridor purple like a pair of 23rd century Jackson Pollocks.

Forget Shakespeare, the hitmen then came not so gently tapping, zapping at Gorkon's chamber door. For the guard outside, the special effects cost just the arm in what was one of the most gruesome scenes of the entire movie. Credited as 'General Stex,' he at least survived to be cross-examined by granddad Worf.

The same evidently could not be said about the Chancellor. Backflips are also fun, but not with a hole in the chest. Gravity restored, what went up had to come down — bodies and a lot of blood.
