Cause Of Death: A massive fall from a penthouse...onto a marble floor by a swimming pool. Massive head trauma, tons of blood and entrails hanging out. Yuck.

Why It Will Be Iconic: Ever year there's one hilariously excessive death scene that lingers in the mind of everyone who watches it, and we've got a feeling that this riotous, insane sequence from Shane Black's latest might take it for 2016.

So, Ryan Gosling's protagonist and this hired thug fall out of a window, but the goon sadly isn't quite as lucky as Ryan. It suggests above all else that the movie retains Black's usual well-placed dark humour, and you can probably expect Gosling and buddy Russell Crowe to make a bunch of wise cracks about it.
