9 Major Movie Stars Who've Died Onscreen In Really Disgusting Ways
9. Ray Liotta - Hannibal
Ridley Scott’s Hannibal was a bit of a polarizing experience for most audiences; it wasn’t the master exercise in suspense that Silence Of The Lambs was, but it made up for it with tons of icky gore and insane levels of b-movie camp. During the runtime we get an extreme disembowelment, a man getting eaten alive by flesh-devouring pigs and best (or worst) of all, the Ray Liotta dinner scene.
Liotta plays a sleazy official in the movie, who gets his just desserts (sorry) when Lecter captures him and stages a dinner for Sterling. He just seems a little dazed to begin with, but once Hannibal reveals that he’s removed the top of his skull things quickly go downhill. The cannibal cuts away bits of his brain while he’s still conscious and starts frying them, but he’s nice enough to serve his victim a few pieces.
If it wasn’t for the blackly comic tone it would be nearly unwatchable, and it’s still pretty damn horrible as it is.
