10 Dramatic Movie Deaths You Couldn't Help Laughing At

3. Castel (The Bourne Identity)

The Bourne Identity follows amnesiac badass Jason Bourne, played by Matt Damon, as he attempts to figure out who he is and what's going on while being pursued by several super agent assassins around Europe.

The first of those agents is Castel, played by Nicky Naude. While investigating an apartment and attempting to learn more about his situation, Bourne is ambushed by Castel. The pair fight in one of the film's best action scenes, culminating in an especially cool moment when Bourne, armed with nothing but a pen, manages to outmatch his knife-wielding opponent and smash the biro down into his hand.

Castel makes one last push to fight back but gets his arm and leg broken by Bourne, who starts to interrogate him. Castel refuses to provide any information and eventually takes a chance to commit suicide by diving out a window rather than revealing any secrets.

It's quite a dramatic death, but audiences couldn't help giggling at the way it was shot, with Castel smashing through the window and doing a full front flip as he flops over the balcony railing, somewhat clumsily plummeting to his doom.
