11 Hilariously Bad Death Scenes In Otherwise Awesome Movies

8. Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) - Goldfinger

Boba Fett Death
MGM

The Scene: Goldfinger (Fröbe) hijacks James Bond's (Sean Connery) plane for one last stab at killing the suave secret agent, but as the two wrestle for his gun, it goes off, shattering one of the plane's windows and causing Goldie to be explosively decompressed out of said window.

Why It's Hilariously Bad: Given how iconic and unforgettable Goldfinger is, it's a massive shame he got such an absurd (rather than bada**) death.

It's a perfect storm of awfulness, really: Fröbe's ridiculous facial expression as he's flung towards the window, the terrible 1960s visual effects as he flies through the air, his getting jammed in the window frame Winnie the Pooh-style, and his ridiculous wrist-flailing action as he's finally ejected from the plane.
