10 Even More Best "I'm Dead And I Know It" Movie Moments

7. The Limo Ride To Hell - True Lies

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Fox

James Cameron's criminally underrated actioner True Lies dispatches its secondary antagonist, antiques dealer Juno Skinner (Tia Carrere), in fittingly savage fashion after she kidnaps hero Harry Tasker's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) wife Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis).

While Helen and Juno are fighting in the back of a limo, Harry stages a daring attempt to get his spouse to safety before the limo plunges off the end of a destroyed bridge - because the car's being "driven" by a dead guy and there's no chance of stopping it.

After Helen knocks Juno out, Harry flies close to the limo in a chopper and tries to grab her. We then cut back to Juno, who wakes up in the back of the limo with a dead driver and the broken end of the bridge fast approaching.

Her eyes get cartoonishly wide and all she can say is "Oh s**t!" before the limo careens into the ocean, presumably killing her instantly, while Helen is just barely pulled out of the limo in time.

A close second place goes to the legendary "you're fired" moment from the very end of the movie, where Harry dispatches terrorist leader Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik) by strapping him to a missile and firing it into an enemy chopper.
