15 Awesome Death Scenes In Otherwise Terrible Movies

6. Boxing Is Dangerous - Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

Far and away the worst of the Friday the 13th movies, Jason Takes Manhattan fails to make good on the potential of seeing Jason in the Big Apple, but it at least gives fans a savagely funny death scene for the ages, and what's more, it's actually meant to be funny.

Throughout the film numerous references are made to young Julius' (V.C. Dupress) boxing skills, so of course this has a pay-off later in the movie when he comes face to face with Jason.

Julius hilariously spends more than a minute firing blows at Jason, who completely no-sells them and rather politely waits for Julius to tire himself out. An exasperated Julius then tells Jason, "Take your best shot, motherf***er", and he duly complies, taking Julius' head off with a single punch.

And the icing on the cake? Julius' head flies off the edge of the building and neatly lands in the garbage below.
