Terminator 2: Judgement Day
BAD GUY: The T-1000
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS: After freezing him in liquid nitrogen, breaking him aparting into little pieces, and exploding a good portion of him with a grenade, they finally dumped him into a vat of molten metal. He couldn't maintain his form. He was hard to kill but he couldn't kill the human need to survive.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
BAD GUY: The Terminatrix
TASTY DEATH RATING: 7
REASONS: Built to stop all manners of humans or machines, the Terminatrix couldn't be out ol'fashioned ingeinuity. T-800 grabs his nuclear power cell and shoves it in her mouth; waiting to sacrifice himself to save John Conner. And of course, he couldn't finish her off without saying, "You are terminated."
Predator
BAD GUY: The First Predator
TASTY DEATH RATING: 2
RATING: It wouldn't have been appropiate to rate Predator 2 and not rate the first one. Why did it get such a low score? Arnold's character Dutch didn't get his justice for his men. He defeated the Predator true but in the end, the alien had the last laugh. He even laughed the whole time before his bomb took him out.
Predator 2
Aliens VS Predator
BAD GUY: Frozen Queen Mother
TASTY DEATH RATING: 8
REASONS: The Queen Mother goes on her rampage to defeat the Predator Scar and Alexa. She manages to mortally wound Scar and then Alexa finally tips over the frozen water tower to plummet her into the blackness of the frozen ocean. And just in case anybody asks, NO, I have no plans to do a review of that shitty ass Requiem sequel.
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
BAD GUY: General Chang
TASTY DEATH RATING: 8
REASONS: CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR!!!! General Chang was the best over-acting Klingon we'd seen in a while. He spouts his Shakespear shit, McCoy says, "I'd give real money if he'd shut up." Spock figures out a way to fire a torpedo at his super-cloaked vessel and they finally shut up him with a ball of photon flame.

The Matrix (1)
BAD GUY: Cypher
TASTY DEATH RATING: 10
REASONS: Seriously, can anybody play a better rat bastard than Joey Pants? Cypher believes he's got the guys beat as he betrays them with the full extent of killing Neo. He taughts Trinity, about if Neo is the one; he can't be killed. Then here comes Tank, who Cypher thought he had killed. Tank returns the favor by deep frying him with a plasma discharge. He cold, smoked his ass!!!
The Matrix (2)
BAD GUY: Agent Smith
TASTY DEATH RATING: 8
REASONS: This was the first death of Neo who came back. He proved he was the "One" by leaping into the code of Agent Smith and causing him to explode. If you look closely you can see his face still screaming as his coded parts are flying past the other agents.
The Matrix: Reloaded
BAD GUYS: The Ghost Twins
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS: These guys seemed pretty unstoppable. Expert martial artists and turning into ghosts at will. They thought they had Morpheus dead to rights but then he sideswipes them by cuting the tire on their SUV: causing a jackknife. It leaves the engine open to a barrage of bullets. The ghosts try to escape but become consumed in the firey explosion.
The Matrix: Revolutions
BAD GUY: Smith
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS; Neo hooks up with the machines to purge Smith from the Matrix. Neo can't do it; but then with a last minute hint from the Oracle, he knows how. He lets Smith infect him but now thanks to that, the Machine Overmind can purge Smith out. This was the second death for Smith and the second death of Neo but for Neo, it was permanent.
Pitch Black
BAD GUY: William J. Johns
TASTY DEATH RATING: 10
REASONS: Johns made the mistake of assuming Riddick would have a problem with killing an innocent girl. The two men fight and then Riddick cuts him his enemy badly across the back. As John tries to reload, Riddicks taughts him with "Told you to ghost me." Johns is left alone in the dark. The creature swoops in and makes him fire off a round. He tries to fire around round but mistakenly loaded his space shotgun shells full of morphine into the gun. The creature then impales him, and bites off his head like apple. The reason I say that is if you listen to it, someone use the sound effects of bitting into an apple. It's not cheesy, it's tasty.
The Chronicles of Riddick
BAD GUY: The Lord Marshal
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS: Riddick battles the Lord Marshal when he learns he's wiped out his whole race. After Riddick is wounded and the Marshal is wounded, the evil bastard's right hand man Vako is about to kill him. The Marshal phases away but he phases right into Riddick's field of view. He doesn't have time to phase again. Riddick then slams his blade into the top of the Marshal's head, breaks it off, then kicks him like unwanted trash. I hope he enjoyed the Underverse, because Riddick gave him a one way ticket back.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
BAD GUY: Khaaaaaaannnnn!!!!!
TASTY DEATH RATING: 10
REASONS: The tasty death gets a 10 because these two men have been trying to kill each other during the whole movie. Kirk suckers him to a Nebula and then blasts his ship at point blank range. Khan's last move is to ignite the Genesis Torpedo to kill him; all the time quoting Moby Dick. This gets a ten because Khan hates Kirk so much, he's wiling to kill himself to kill him.
Star Trek III: The Searh For Spock
BAD GUY: Commander Kruge
TASTY DEATH RATING: 8
REASONS: After ordering the death of his son, Kirk tricks Kruge into leading all his men to a needless death aboard the self-destructing Enterprise. Then when he finds out he's on the planet below, he comes down to beat the secrets of the Genesis torpedo from him. Kirk then finally kicks him off a cliff into the molten core of the planet.
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
BAD GUY: The Devil?
TASTY DEATH RATING: 7
REASONS: The Starship Enterprise makes it past the great barrier but at the last minute, realizes they are not visiting God; they have met the devil. Probably God erected the Great Barrier just to keep the Devil in. Kirk like always gets his friends out but is trapped on the planet with the Devil. Then Spock swoops in and destroys him with a Klingon disrupter. I know a lot of you are thinking this rates a 3 or 4 but look at the context; SPOCK KILLED THE DEVIL!!!! It's at least a 7 on that fact alone.
Star Trek: First Contact
BAD GUY: The Borg Queen
TASTY DEATH RATING: 10
REASONS: The Queen thought she had secured Data's loyalty but in the last second, Data proves he's still loyal to Captain Picard. He smashes the warp core coolant; sending the acidic gas all over the place. Picard flees, the Queen tries to flee but Data pulls her down in the gas, only to have her fleshy parts eaten by the acid cloud. After Picard sucks the gas out of the engine room, he finds her metal parts still quivering. With one pull of her spinal column, the Queen is dead. Long live friendship and loyalty.
Star Trek: Insurrection
BAD GUY: Ad'har Ru'afo
TASTY DEATH RATING: 7
REASONS: Getting tired of the tired plots that echoed poor Star Trek, we see a group of bad men trying to do bad things to good people and throw in a little government conspiracy then we have Star Trek Insurrection. The bad guy, Ru'afo wants to steal life giving crystals from a planets atmosphere. Picard is getting hot and heavy with a babe down below so he can't have that. He jumps on the the Collector device and sabotages it. Ru'afo tries to stop him but as the Collector is going up in flames, Picard is beamed off while Ru'afo becomes extra crispy.

Braveheart
Rising Sun
BAD GUY: Bob Richmond
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS: Bob is an opportunist. He wants to ride high up the corporate ladder; so much he kills a woman and frames it on the son of a Japanese business man. When the friends of the Japanese guy find out, they attack Bob, and throw him into a vat of wet concrete. The fall knocks him out and he slowly sinks to his death.
Dogville
TASTY DEATH RATING: 10
REASONS: Can you believe this vile story was a play? I suppose that was the point; the exploration of the darkness of the human soul. Poor Grace comes to this town to flee the mob but finds out the towns folk are much worse. Keeping her safe from the mob comes with a price in the form of abuse, rape, forced labor and they even make her wear a collar like a dog. In the end, the mob comes looking for her and the mobster in question is her own father. She decides to emprace her father's offer of power and allows the mobsters to kill every person in Dogville. Grace's betrayed lover, Tom Hoover, recieves a bullet from her. Everybody abused her but it was his betrayal that made her believe only she should kill him.
The Prestige
BAD GUY: Robert Angier
TASTY DEATH RATING: 8
REASONS: Angier hated his rival after he accidentally killed his wife. Ever since then he wanted to best his magic acts. He did it to the point where he framed him for murder and even tried to take his daughter away. Borden shot Angier and gave the big reveal: he actually had a twin brother. Angier couldn't have believed it was that easy but his arrogance lead to his downfall, not to mention thanks to Tesla's device; he caused his own tasty deaths with each magic act.
The Living Daylights
BAD GUY: Necros
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS: Necros fights Bond over a bundle of opium. Due to a mishap from the damsel in distress, she sends them out the plane; tangling over this stuff. Necros fights Bond over this cord and Bond proceeds to cut the ropes. Necros hangs on and even grab the spy's boot. NO PROBLEM, thinks Bond as he stars cutting his boot lace. Necros screams and then plummets the 80 thousand or so feet to the canyons below. BONUS: Poor Necros, it looks like he's holding up the boot in some vain attempt to slow his descent.
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
BAD GUY: Chief Uruk-Hai
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS: The big evil warrior kills the noble Boromir. Aragon comes to his aide, stabbing the Uruk-Hai in the leg. The evil creature pulls the blade out and licks it, growling the whole time. Aragon and him sword fight. Aragon chops off the guy's arm and stabbs him in the gut. The Uruk-Hai still does his "dominace" growl by grabbing the blade and pulling his enemy closer. Aragon is NOT impressed and promptly cuts his head off.
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
BAD GUY: Goblin who was in the wrong spot
TASTY DEATH RATING: 6
REASONS: Uruks and Goblins are marching on Helms Deep. They are chanting their war cries to the frightened humans. One poor old man couldn't hold his arrow string long enough and fired accidentally. As you can see from the above photo . . . . .at least he didn't miss. :)
Brotherhood Of The Wolf
BAD GUY: Jean-François de Morangias
TASTY DEATH RATING: 8
REASONS: That's a long name to pronouce so why don't we just call him , "Evil French Dude." The EFD fights off knight Fronsac with medievl martial arts and chain-swords. Evil French Dude thinks he has the upper hand as he wraps his weapon around the knight's wrist; pulling him every where. Fronsac has a few tricks up his sleeve as he slices his throat during a tussle. Evil French Dude tries to pull his enemy's arm out but only suceeds in making his blade fly right into his chest. Click on the picture for a larger look and you'll see.
Tremors (1990)
BAD GUY: Giant worm named Stumpy
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS: Kevin Bacon comes up with "a god damned plan" and runs toward the edge of a ravine. He throws a homemade bomb and the result explosion causes a super-sonic headache with Stumpy. The giant worm flies toward the opposite direction, then explodes out of the ground and plummets toward the rocks below. Indeed, a giant worm stampede.
Evil Toons
BAD GUY: Evil Midget Werewolf Toon
TASTY DEATH RATING: 5
REASONS: Evil Toons gets it's honorable mention on the sole fact of it's hilarity. Four porn stars summon this creature from a dime store knock off Necronomicon, it proceeds to kills and possess them, only to be defeated by the star with the biggest breasts. Well . . . . David Carradine kinda helped.
28 Days Later
BAD GUY: Major Henry West
TASTY DEATH RATING: 8
REASONS: The zombie rage guys take over London and a military Major takes it upon himself to secure his own facility. He even kidnaps two women to aide in the "morale" of the men. When the good guy kills all the soldiers and frees the women, Major West pays him back by shooting him. Little Hannah drives the vehicle with West in the back toward the infected. Since he's within reach, the rage zombie is the first to attack him. Oh, by the way, it's one of his own men he valiantly tried to protect.

Mulholand Falls
BAD GUY: Colonel Nathan Fitzgerald
TASTY DEATH RATING: 7
REASONS: Fitzgerald killed an innocent girl because he thought she was smuggling nuclear secrets or some dumb shit. I haven't seen the movie in a while. Anyway, he thinks he's got the upper hand against Hoover and his partner but then the role is reversed. Fitzgerald doesn't beg for his life; he calls the hero pathetic and that the girl had to die because she was in the way. Hoover replies with, "SHE DIED FOR NOTHING, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" and then tosses him out of the plane; letting him die the same way the woman did.
Freddy VS Jason
BAD GUY: Freddy Kruegar
TASTY DEATH RATING: 8
REASONS: We've all been waiting to see it and it happened; Freddy VS Jason. After hacking and slashing each other,Freddy cut Jason severely; spilling his demon grape juice blood all over the place. Jason rips off Freddy's arm and seems down for the count. As Freddy is about to use Jason's own machete, the undead hockey player shoves the nightmare Lord's own arm into his chest (cheesy). Then the girl he had victimized chops off his head with Jason's machete. It's always cool to see the victim survive against a truely evil character. It would have been higher had this truely been the end of Freddy but we know it wasn't.
Wild At Heart
BAD GUY: Bobby Peru
TASTY DEATH RATING: 10
REASONS: Bobby goes to rob a bank for the sole purpose of killing Sailor Ripley during. Sailor manages to get away, Bobby comes after him and gets shot by a passing sheriff. Bobby takes several hits and while he's falling down from his wounds, he makes the mistake of using his shotgun to stabalize himself, thus blowing his own head off. His head bounces off the wall and lands on the ground; only staying in one bloody piece thanks to the pantyhose mask he was wearing. Even the hero, Sailor whispers, "Poor bastard", at such a sight. YOu know it's a horrible death when the hero feels sorry for them.
Just Cause
BAD GUY: Bobby Earle
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS: See what happens when you threaten a man's family? Armstrong gets the upper hand with Earle as he manages to stab him; thanks to some last minute help with Lawrence Fishburne's character. As they wrestle in the swamp, he stabs him multiple times until Bobby Earle can no longer hold on. To give it a just demise, he's then eaten by crocodiles. It seems like it's an automatic 9 if the the bad guy is eaten by something.
Monster Squad
BAD GUY: Dracula
TASTY DEATH RATING: 7
REASONS: How many times do we have to watch Dracula get defeated? This time around, we don't get the luxury of seeing him go up in a firey blaze but he gets banished to Limbo and even gets a little help from his old nemesis, Dr. Van Helsing. To add further indignity, Dracula gets impaled by a 14 year old boy with more guts than the whole town.
Live Free or Die Hard (1)
BAD GUY: Mai
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS: McClane may not be faster than Mai or skilled in martial arts but he's still an ol'fashioned cop with the ability to improvise quickly. He uses an SUV to shove her into a elevator shaft and then the car gets stuck. As she and McClane are fighting, he manages to get out while she rides the SUV down to a firey demise. I guess she didn't expect this to happen when she got up in the morning.
Live Free or Die Hard (2)
BAD GUY: The Evil Parkor Terrorist
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS: This guy is hoping around, using his Parkor fighting skills and McClane can't get a bead on him. He even steals his gun. When the terrorist thinks he has him, McClane kicks a valve to shove liquid Nitrogen in his face and then he gets chopped into little bits in an industrial fan. McClane puts on the finishing touch by laughing and saying, "OH NO!"
Live Free or Die Hard (3)

Innocent Blood
Quigley Down Under
BAD GUY: Elliot Marsten
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS: This was probably the best shoot out I've seen in Westerns and it only lasts three seconds. The arrogance and evil ways of Marsten comes back to haunt him when he makes the first big mistake; he gave his enemy a gun. Then Quigley pulls out the pistols and shoots Marsten AND his two minions before they can even draw. This is what Marsten gets for not paying attention.
Pale Rider
BAD GUY: Stockburn
TASTY DEATH RATING: 10
REASONS: Stockburn must have been a severely evil man. Why? Because God let The Preacher AKA The Pale Rider come back to Earth to kill him. The just moment happened when The Preacher dispatched Stockburn's deputies and then came for him. He recognized his eyes and saw that it was the man he killed so long ago. Preacher filled him with his entire round of bullets and as he collapsed to his knees, he pulls out a smaller pistol and gives him a sixth bullet to the head. Vengence is served.
Tombstone
BAD GUY: Johnny Ringo
TASTY DEATH RATING: 9
REASONS: According to history, Doc Holiday did kill Johnny Ringo. We could only hope it was this cool. Ringo looks for a fight with Wyatt Earp but finds Doc instead. Not only does Doc prove his faster by shooting Johnny in the head but as the outlaw is dying, Doc is taughting him to continue to fight. Doc even hated Johnny so much he wanted to kill him legally so he stole Wyatt's badge to do so.
The Quick and The Dead
BAD GUY: Herrod
TASTY DEATH RATING: 8
REASONS: Vengence is sweet on many levels. Ellen seeks out Herrod because he made her shoot her own father when she was a child. In a quick draw contest, she is the first person to ever beat him; shooting him in the chest to the point where the sun shines through it. She puts another bullet in his head for good measure.
Revolver
BAD GUY: Slim Biggins
TASTY DEATH RATING: 7
REASONS: Billed as a four time national bodybuilding champion and "six guys rolled into one", Slim chases after Jake and when he climbs over a damaged wall, he makes the the mistake of trying to get his gun ready to shoot on the way down. It did SHOOT, all right. Straight into Slim's face. Even bad ass mob guys get careless every now and then.
Street Kings
BAD GUY: Captain Jack Wander
TASTY DEATH RATING: 7
REASONS: Tom Ludlow only wanted to punish the guilty. His best friend and captain, Wander wanted to do the same but only on his terms. Using criminals to hunt other criminals and racking up a ton of money in the process. Ludlow doesn't feel there should be any exceptions to punishing the wicked and saving the innocent. He handcups his captain to the stairway rail, then when he hears his confession; he shoots him.
Big Trouble in Little China (1)
BAD GUY: Rain
TASTY DEATH RATING: 8
REASONS: The sword play was awesome as well as the flying around. But in his one last despearte attempt to defeat his enemy, he gets stabbed by a flying sword and then explodes when he hits the nearest wall. Sorry, Rain. Clearly Wang-Chi stayed on Wudan Mountain longer than you did.
Big Trouble in Little China (2)
Big Trouble in Little China (3)
Big Trouble in Little China (4)
Hidalgo
BAD GUY: Katib
TASTY DEATH RATING: 8
REASONS: Katib had been trying to kill Frank Hopkins and Hidalgo and even hurt the poor horse in a dead fall trap. Katib gets his just deserts, when in a fight with Hopkins, the cowboy shoves him onto one and as Katib thinks he's going to be spared, Hopkins ropes the release mechanism and sends the bad guy down to greet several spikes.
