    Summary: A vicious corporation tries to kill and starve the last remaining habitants of the Bronx in order to build their own high-rise developments. A lone long-haired, hot-tempered warrior, Trash, is his only obstacle. Trash, a psychopathic bomb-maker and his equally psychopathic preschool son and an annoying activist help him out by kidnapping "the President" (of the corporation), a Richard Dreyfuss look-alike. Henry Silva plays another psychopath, this one on the side of the corporations.

    Robocop (1987) has some of the best gory deaths on film, like an OCP board member being shot endlessly by ED-209, Clarence Boddicker being stabbed in the throat, and Ronny Cox being shot out a window and somehow growing longer arms.

    I've got to say, of my favorite film deaths, I've got to go with the Godzilla movies, specifically Col. Goro Gondo in _Godzilla vs Biollante_ and Shindo in _Godzilla vs King Ghidorah_ for the same reason; they're the only humans who die looking Godzilla in the eye. Gondo dies shooting at him as a building collapses on top of him, and Shindo dies in a manner I can only call "suicide by Godzilla"

    I think my favourite on-screen death might be from Jason X (a laughably terrible movie by most accounts). Jason plunges a scientist's head into liquid nitrogen then smashes her face onto the countertop, shattering it like glass. Truly gruesome yet delightfully absurd!

    My favorite on-screen deaths are probably Glen and the Vesuvius of blood in the original Nightmare on Elm Street, Col. Breen in Five Million Years to Earth (because of the way the scene cuts to his burned body from Quatermass mentioning his name just before the body falls over), and Martin at the end of George Romero's Martin (because…irony).

All of this (of course) to help the good guys -- you know, the Taliban 😂 😆 🤣
