10 Most Badass Movie Death Scenes Of All Time

"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." You know the line. Even if you've never seen The Princess Bride you know the line (It's the "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" of 80s adventure comedies.)

Sure, this is a comedy, and Montoya's famous, well-rehearsed kiss-off is played for laughs throughout much of the film, but that doesn't make this scene any less gratifying.

After being stuck with a knife and appearing as though he'll never get his revenge against the man who killed his father, the aforementioned line acts as a sort of rallying cry.

Every time Montoya says it, the anger and vitriol in his voice grows louder, until his lungs are seething with rage. All the while, he soaks up every droplet of fear beading off the Six-Fingered Man's skin, toying with his prey and savouring the pain he inflicts with every swipe of the sword.

"Offer me money." Slash. "Power, too. Promise me that." Slice. "Offer me everything I ask for."

And then, when his enemy relents, offering feebly, "anything you want and more:" the death blow. "I want my father back you son of a bitch." Stab.

Amongst all the camp and silliness that occurs during the third act, this scene is a powerful, inconceivably compelling end to Montoya's saga.
