10 Most Memorable Film Deaths By Every Day Objects

8. Death By Teacup - The Chronicles Of Riddick

Riddick Teacup Vin Diesel isn't particularly known for creating great characters - his Private Caparzo in Saving Private Ryan was excellent, but later, muscle-bound incarnations like Dominic Toretto and Xander Cage were pretty limited in their dimensions, and unfortunately led to terrible things like The Pacifier. Richard B Riddick was a different story to begin with - yes he was muscular and uncompromising, but he felt layered and he had mystique, and though the second film was just too CGI-based and occasionally boring, there is still some hope in the character's future, and it's thanks to scenes like this that confirm that hope. Faced with a group of assailants intent on harming Kyra, Riddick kills one using only a teacup and scares his other potential attackers in the process. And the best part? The corn-beef key pay-off at the very end that's enough to deter Riddick's muscle-bound foes. A touch of genius in an otherwise sloppy film. http://youtu.be/cx1XhlPIeEM
