10 Brutally Violent Movie Deaths That Came Out Of Nowhere

6. Death By CG Enhanced Shark - Deep Blue Sea (1999)

No self-respecting list of sudden and brutal movie deaths would be complete without this entry, of course. The only reason anyone still talks about Deep Blue Sea these days is because of Samuel L. Jackson's enforced expiration halfway through the movie, and there are no clues for guessing as to why that is. Because taking the immortal warrior that is Samuel L. Jackson and adding a surprise shark into the mix was, and always will be, cinematic gold. Whilst searching for a cure for Alzheimer's, a group of scientists inadvertently create a breed of super-shark (obviously), a group of which escape the facility and begin terrorising anyone in eating distance. As the science-people try and escape, Franklin (Jackson) warns of the dangers of infighting. Franklin tells a cautionary tale of avalanche-induced madness, of murder and of staying together; then the shark leaps out of the water pool behind Franklin and drags him off into the depths. One second he's Samuel L. Jackson-ing up the room with a typically impassioned Sam Jackson-style speech, the next second he's being eaten to death by a giant CG-rendered shark. Only in Hollywood.
