10 Awesome Horror Movie Moments That Make No Sense
3. Impaled By A Bike - Prince Of Darkness
John Carpenter strikes again, this time with his 1987 cult classic Prince of Darkness.
The supernatural horror memorably features a cameo from rock legend Alice Cooper, who plays the pale-faced leader of a mob of unhinged homeless people and is credited as "Street Schizo."
Cooper gets his moment to shine when he and his mob attack quantum physics student Etchinson (Thom Bray) as he leaves the monastery containing what's effectively liquid Satan.
As Etchinson tries to walk through the adjoining alley, Cooper's character picks up half a bicycle which is randomly laying in the alley, unsteadily walks towards Etchinson, and then straight up stabs him with it.
It's a gnarly kill and a fun cameo for Cooper, even if the physical mechanics of impaling someone with a bicycle are tough to make sense of. After all, we get a clear look at the metal bar driven through Etchinson and it isn't sharp, like, at all.
The force needed to drive that blunt object through the guy is basically impossible for any mere mortal. Then again, it is Alice Cooper we're talking about...
