As largely underwhelming as the Max Zorin character is, he does at least get a highly entertaining and memorable death, plunging to his doom from atop the Golden Gate Bridge.

What really makes the scene great is Walken's performance: mere moments before Zorin falls, Walken lets out a psychotic laugh that only Walken could deliver, and it's glorious.

It not only gives fans a good chuckle, but it cements just how far gone Zorin is mentally, that the guy couldn't even take his own demise seriously.

It was a great choice from Walken, and bolsters just how entertaining Zorin's over-the-top death is.
