1. Justice of the Ninja 1981
Something light to start. The producer Menahem Golam together with his cousin Yoram Globus came to do quite a lot of damage through the production company they founded, Cannon Films, in their action films, often closer to the Z than to the B series. This scene is a great classic about the issue that has led us here, with an actor, Christopher George, who only needs to say hello to the respectable or give a brief thank you speech to the producers for having hired him before going (fictitiously, of course) to the other world. And George, in his good times, even took part in very good movies and series. They are 15 anthological seconds.
2. Undefeatable (1993)
Another classic that appears in all compilations. A production made in Hong Kong was filmed in English and shot in the United States. The character played by Cynthia Rorthbock is determined to take revenge on the murderous rapist, and also an expert in martial arts, who killed her sister. The most acclaimed scene is, naturally, that of the final fight with the three, that is, Cynthia's character, the cop who helps her (John Miller), and the psychopath on duty (Don Niam), inside a warehouse beating each other. , not especially well choreographed or convincing, culminating in the deserved death of the villain. They are little more than three minutes that begin with a duel of glances, between Miller and Niam, which already make us presage that nothing good can come out of all this.
3. Terror in the Abyss 2002
oh! And what about the Shark Attack saga? The first, from 1999, was a TV movie, the second went straight to DVD, and the third... I don't know where it ended up, honestly. However, it gives us a sequence of just over a minute in which those responsible did not even bother to maintain a certain verism or a few small portions of quality in their special effects. Seeing how the aforementioned giant shark changes in size to gobble up whatever is in front of it, be it a person or a whole raft full of people, is priceless. What would have happened to Spielberg if in 1975 he had given birth to something like that?
4. Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987)
You may still be reeling from what you've seen, but keep going. We are facing a film that, in fact, all in itself is a great classic among the truños. Two DEA agents confront the organization led by an evil drug trafficker. Encouraged by, I don't know what reason, they even dared to shoot a second part, Picasso Trigger, and release it the following year. Hard Ticket to Hawaii has more memorable death scenes, such as that of the skateboarder and the inflatable doll, but the most "renowned" is that of the frisbee (beach disc), enhanced by the little "professionalism" shown by some henchmen in their duties. For others, on the other hand, the most memorable thing is still that lifeguard on the beach appears over there. In any case, about two minutes of pure pleasure.
5. Karate Girl 1974
And we come to number one, the worst of the worst death scenes. There seems to be quite a consensus that this is "the scene." A Turkish production that has no name, well, it does have, even a director (a certain Orhan Aksoy, who is also very prolific), and a protagonist (Filiz Akin, one of the most famous Turkish actresses in history). Also a story of revenge, the kind that would make Tarantino's muses a hundred (gossips say that it served as inspiration for Kill Bill).
Zeynep (Filiz Akin) has a hand-to-hand fight and also shoots the villain Ferruh several times (the actor also has a name and responds to Bülent Kayabas) until he falls dead on the bed. The scene has been a viral video on YouTube, since it was posted in September 2012 it will have been viewed more than 17 million times. It is not for less, seeing is believing. It is a minute that can change your conception of cinema forever. If you didn't know the scene, prepare to discover a "wonder"; Otherwise, it never hurts to enjoy it again.
