20 Most Iconic Movie Deaths Of All Time

19. Edward Malus - The Wicker Man (2006)

By far the most hilarious entry on the list, Nicolas Cage's masterclass in overacting reaches a glorious crescendo at the end of Neil LaBute's remake, which is either an awful horror movie or a brilliant comedy depending on how you want to look at it.

Spitting and screaming about how killing him won't bring back the goddam honey, Malus has his legs broken by the natives, gets a mesh helmet placed over his head leading to the legendary 'NOT THE BEES! THEY'RE IN MY EYES!', is revived with a shot of epinephrine after he passes out and finally gets strung up and hoisted to the top of a giant wicker man effigy, where he is then burned alive. 

Talk about over-kill, but then this is Nic Cage.

It's a suitably ridiculous death scene, perfectly fitting for one of the most stupid movies in recent memory.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
