8 Movie Deaths So Gruesome They Had To Happen Off-Screen

6. Death By Iron €“ Layer Cake

Irons are meant for ironing and, occasionally, straightening hair when all other options are exhausted. But someone forgot to tell that to the gangster that used the humble iron to kill Paul, the low-level crim in the employment of Layer Cake's nameless protagonist XXXX (Daniel Craig). It's not like Paul even did anything terribly wrong; he just happened to be a member of XXXX's gang, who are now in the gunsights of a high-level Serbian crew of drug dealers. This foolish error is what led the Serb hitman to iron Paul the Boatman to an early grave. XXXX and pal Morty (George Harris) are the ones to discover Paul laid with the steaming Monopoly favourite sitting on his chest - says Morty: "An iron burning a hole in your chest until your heart boils." You're probably wondering if this is even possible, but you'll still never look upon the tedious chore of de-creasing laundry in the same way again.
