Ranking All Of Sean Bean's Movie Deaths From Lamest To Best

15. Death Race 2 - Shot And Drowned

You know, despite the awful approval ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, I have a quiet admiration for the Death Race series. They're admirable because they are clearly trying so hard to be a more R-Rated version of Fast & Furious but, even though that is an exceptionally low bar to achieve, they still miss out on it by a quite some distance.

Sean Bean plays Kane, a crime boss who hires Luke as a getaway driver but, when the robbery goes wrong, Luke lands in jail. After befriending a convict by the name of 14K, he offers to kill Kane with his connections. 14K's men break into Kane's mansion and shoot him in the back and he falls dramatically into his pool.

The death is a puzzling one and painfully cliched. Kane is standing by his pool in the middle of the night swigging whisky and undoubtedly thinking about bad guy stuff like world domination and putting kiwi on his pizza (it's a thing).

Then, out of nowhere he is shot through the back (3:14 in the video), but instead of being propelled forwards, falls backwards into his pool. Who needs logic when you can have a slo-mo dramatic death below?

Brutality: 5/10

Shock: 8/10

Underwhelming-Death-Considering-The-Movie 10/10

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
