10 Dramatic Movie Deaths You Couldn't Help Laughing At

Titanic is a heartbreaking, gut-wrenching film with one of the most drawn-out and difficult-to-watch endings in cinematic history. There wasn't a dry eye in any cinema as audiences watched all those panicking passengers try in vain to escape the sinking ship, but one particular scene did raise a few laughs despite depicting quite a horrible moment.

The scene occurs near the end of the film as much of the boat has sunk and some of the people still hanging on at the top are falling off into the icy waters below. One man falls, screaming, and smashes into one of the boat's huge propellers with a bone-crunching thud, landing at such an angle that his body then does about fifty flips like a fidget spinner before finally hitting the water's surface.

It's a gruesome image and people felt a little guilty for laughing at it, but the man, known only as "propeller guy" has become a bit of a cult sensation over the years, despite being one of the most minor characters in James Cameron's 195 minute epic.
