Nobody has seen My Name is Khan? That's gotta be the dumbest death scene in all of cinematic history. Extremely dumb movie, too. So dumb it inspired this quiz, along with another quiz about death scenes that were not quite as stupid.

I got only My name is Khan and Final destination. The death in my name is Khan is ofcourse very absurd but very few have seen it........

It's a great movie though, I recommend watching it........

I hated the whole movie. Thought it was terrible, absurd, and bigoted with a script built on ridiculous stereotypes and false premises. I'd say skip it and watch Forrest Gump.

btw are you from Swat? I watched this movie with my old Pakistani roommate. He was from Swat.

I got several I hadn't seen on the quiz above that inspired this one. Sometimes certain scenes become more famous than the movies that they are in.

Lots of additional possibilities here! Absurd deaths all around in Hollywood! Fun quiz even though I knew very few.

glad you enjoyed it. :) yes, some of these are a bit obscure, though if you go to YouTube and look for funny death scenes in movies you'll see many of them.

Also, wasn't she killed in anger, by Anakin, who didn't realise what he'd done until Obi Wan told him, causing him to ridiculously wail "NOOOOOOO!"? Or did I miss/mishear something?

No. She survived his force choke and went on to die later shortly after childbirth, though it's never explained why.

Or, I should say, no plausible explanation is given. She's gives birth to two immaculate twins in a remarkably sanitary delivery that takes only seconds, seems in perfect health one second, says something to ObiWan and then dies. There's some throw away line later about her broken heart, I think.

Palpatine lies to Anakin, misleading the latter into thinking that Padme did not survive the incident of domestic abuse. Which is, I guess, why he assumed that his unborn progeny also died.

I've seen a YouTube channel list Padme's death as one of the Top 10 badly enacted movie deaths ever.

the droid midwife says she has lost the will to live due to Anakin turning to the dark side. the thing padme whispers to obi wan just before she dies is "There is still good in him"

does anyone else think that in empire strikes back when the emperor tells vader "we have a new enemy Luke Skywalker, I have no doubt the boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker" (paraphrasing I know) why didn't Vader think "hang on you told me my wife died before she could give birth you've been lying to me for about 20 years screw you man"

hm... well not that there aren't inconsistencies between the original trilogy and the prequels, but I don't think that was necessarily one of them. Palpatine never told Vader that his kid had died and neither of them were aware that there were twins. All Palpatine told Vader at the end of episode 3 was that in his rage he had killed her (which was a lie). He didn't say anything about the kids. Obi Wan could have taken his lightsaber and done a taun taun style cesarian section up there on the landing platform. Also it's pretty clear (and also canon) that Vader and Palpatine both came to the conclusion that Luke was Vader's kid sometime between A New Hope and Empire. By the start of Empire Vader already knew who he was. He felt his presence and force sensitivity during the Death Star fight of A New Hope. After this the Empire did some poking around and found that the family name of the pilot who destroyed the Death Star was Skywalker.

Which one? Laughing yourself to death? Dissolved by turpentine mixture? Crushed by a cartoon piano? or slowly flattened by a steam roller, shaking that off, and then be dissolved by said mixture?

If anyone is a fan of absurd deaths they should check out the British TV police drama midsomer murders its almost black comedy sometimes . jump the shark moment was woman getting killed by a giant wheel of cheese.

There was also another absurd-ish death in Cabin in the Woods were a guy get’s stabbed by a Unicorn horn. Though i can see why the Mer-Man death got picked for this list instead.
