1. Vincent Vega (John Travolta) Pulp Fiction (1996)
http://youtu.be/qzPZOh2IfEc Cause of Death: An ill-timed dump Perhaps the most unexpected and purposely anti-climactic death in recent cinema history, Vincent comes to rest bloated and fulla holes while sitting on a toilet; a death that oddly mirrors Elvis Pressleys own demise after too long spent gorging on the American Dream. Now, Im not arguing the dramatic excellence of Pulp Fiction, Im simply pointing out that allowing yourself to be caught literally with your pants round your ankles by the person youre supposed to be assassinating is a pretty unflattering and silly way to shuffle off this mortal coil. How To Survive It: If youre ever sent to a house to find and assassinate someone and you feel that call of nature just hold it. I mean I know youre not supposed to do that for health reasons, but holding on to a dump for another hour or so is surely less fatal than being shot repeatedly with an Uzi, right? And if you really gotta go, at least take your gun in with you. Alternatively, to avoid deaths like this, simply avoid choosing a life of crime; dont forget, he who lives by the sword dies by the sword. So, there are ten absurd movie deaths that could and should have been avoided. Anything we missed? Do let us know wont you?!
