15 Awesome Death Scenes In Otherwise Terrible Movies

9. Christopher Walken Laughs It Up - A View To A Kill

There's a general consensus that A View to a Kill is far and away the worst James Bond movie, featuring a near 60-year-old Roger Moore still pretending he can shag women half his age without it being really, really weird.

Still, at least it gave the world an awesome Duran Duran song and Christopher Walken's bonkers baddie Max Zorin, who gets a thoroughly demented death scene completely worthy of his character.

The final fight between Bond and Zorin takes place atop the Golden Date Bridge, and ends when Zorin realises he can't maintain his grip on the bridge, lets out an insane, knowing chuckle, and falls several hundred feet to his death while letting out a very distinctly Walken-esque blood-curdling scream.

The laugh is really what makes this one: it adds another fun wrinkle to the craziness that is Zorin, and totally feels like something Walken would've improvised himself.
