20 Supremely Gory Movie Deaths You Won't Believe Weren't Censored

15. A Nightmare On Elm Street €“ Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp Another €˜dead before they were famous€™ story. Much like Kevin Bacon, Johnny Depp made his big screen debut as a fresh faced, good looking kid, in Wes Craven€™s original Nightmare Before Elm Street. Unlike Bacon, Depp made it most of the way through the film before being taken by Freddie. In the scene, Depp has been desperately trying not to fall asleep but eventually passes out. He is sucked into his bed, through the matress and into a hole below. Moments later, blood spews from the hole like a volcano erupting and covers the entire ceiling.

14. Robocop €“ Peter Weller

Maybe this is a slightly contentious entry, as it€™s not exactly a death. However, I like to consider that the birth of Robocop comes as a result of Murphy being brutally murdered; thus Robocop is a robotic reincarnation of a man. Weller (Murphy) is cornered by Kurtwood Smith€™s gang. They hold him on the floor and Smith waves his gun from head to stomach, before settling on Weller€™s hand and blows it clean from his hand. As the gang laugh hysterically, Weller, fighting the pain with shock gets to his feet. All four of the gang line up, raise their shotguns and proceed to unload on him. His limbs are one by one blown off and his bulletproof vest blitzed. When he€™s back on the ground Kurtwood puts a shell in his head and blood and gore fly.

Frustratingly argumentative writer, eater, reader and fanatical about film ‘n’ food and all things fundamentally flawed. I have been a member of the WhatCulture family since it was known as Obsessed with Film way back in the bygone year of 2010. I review films, festivals, launch events, award ceremonies and conduct interviews with members of the ‘biz’. Follow me @FilmnFoodFan In 2011 I launched the restaurant and food criticism section. I now review restaurants alongside film and the greatest rarity – the food ‘n’ film crossover. Let your imaginations run wild as you mull on what that might look like!
