Tarantino's latest concluded with a hilarious brawl between a group of home invaders and Brad Pitt's Cliff Booth, who manages to kill one of his would-be murderers by stomping on his head, and offs another by mashing her face against various surfaces.

However, it's the third invader, Sadie, who gets the best death of the lot.

After being mauled by Cliff's dog Brandy, Sadie crashes through a glass door and falls into a swimming pool, tinting the water red with her blood. This startles Leonardo DiCaprio's Rick Dalton, who slips into the water to investigate before being taken aback by Sadie, who has started firing off bullets from her gun.

So, what does Rick do? Well, what we would all do in this situation, of course - he grabs a nearby flamethrower and torches her alive.

Tarantino is great at making his violence amusing to watch, and as Rick struts out to the tune of some epic music - flamethrower in hand - and cooks Sadie's flailing mess of a body with a large spurt of fire, you can't help but crack a satisfied smile.
