"Colossus, get out of there!"

"Negative command..We'll hold them back as long as we ca----"

That, and the Galatea facing down the Lucifer. And, heck, the Bellesarius refusing to surrender to the PVD Psamtik (the fact that he refused to back down despite facing off against a ship several times more powerful than his when his ship is at full power while his ship is falling apart at the seams takes guts).

From the episode 'Ray Butts', which was also the Lt Col's name.

Mr. Bean, you wrotten bastard, you beat me to it: Slim Pickens riding the nuke down in Dr. Strangelove was me very first response to this. Although, Quint in Jaws wasn't bad--at least, in the book "I can see your balls you motherfucker!" or some shit like that, been a long time.

Lt. Paul Wang, S:AAB '...Tell Our Mom's We Done Our Best'

And even though Lt. Col. T.C. McQueen didn't die, he was prepared to in The Angriest Angel, and thus gets an honourable mention.

Yes I am a S:AABiet.
Did Wang die? I thought it was the last episode of the series and all it showed was him in that cargo ship blasting at aliens. He could have survived. Then it was cancelled so we never found out what happened to a lot of the characters? Or were there more episodes and I just missed the?
Wang did die. He was on the cargo portion of the APC manning the gun and he takes out one chig fighter and another crshes into the APC destroying it in a fiery blast. Interestingly enough and a real treat for those who watched it from the beginning, when Wang dies he gives a marine battle cry that echoes for several seconds in the void after the explosion...in the pilot, the master sargeant tells the recruits that the only sound you can hear in space is the battle cry of teh United States Marine...Wang tries to give him a war cry and fails miserably. I'm sure the master sargeant would have been proud of the war cry Wang gave at the end.

Wangs death was goddamn awesome. Easily one of the best out there.

I don't think we ever mentioned this death. Boromir from The Lord of the Rings. Fucking covered in arrows like damn pin cushion. And was still kicking ass.

See the first post in the thread.

Pacino in Scarface was pretty good, even though it wasn't original.

I have to go with Vader as the best though.

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2002-10-26 06:09am

I think I mentioned Pachino in scarface as being a lesser aspect of the James Cagney White Heat death Scene. Of course as far as really good deaths, the Serial Killer in "M" getting murdered by all the pimps, muggers, rapists and assorted scum, for the crime of putting too much Heat out on the street, begging "Your worse then I am, You choose to be this way I can't Help it."

It's been mentioned several times. A good one; a hell of a manly death.

Okay, well since it's somehow been overlooked, I say we go with Boromir.

Arthur at the end of Excalibur. Speared through the gut he forces his way further up the spear to get at and kill Mordred with his sword.

What was really interesting about that scene (which is copied in "the Fellowship of the Ring" somewhat, as well as "Nemesis") is that its the opposite of the book (Le Morte D'Arthur)... MORDRED gets impaled on Arthur's spear, but pulls himself along it, and gets the King in the head with his sword.

Interesting spin on it anyway.

On the topic of macho deaths, I liked the way you fought Connor MacLeod in New York and stood there for a moment, still grinning after your head was separated from your body.

Come to think of it, there's a "Connor MacLeod" on this board. We should get the two of you together

Butch and Sundance, surrounded by the Bolivian army, rushing out guns blazing into a hail of bullets. The final scene of Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.

The final steps foward Of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. Damn inspiring.

Eventually everything decends into Cthutlu and Madness.

Especially when theirs the two of us around to do it.

Of course I am partial to the scripture quoting sniper in SPR.

I like one from real life. Ireland in the year 1014, following the battle of Clontarf. The Irish high king, Brian Boru is 73 years old (quite a respectable age for that day), and was, in his youth also renowned as a warrior. He's too old to fight in the battle, so he entrusts the troops to his oldest son (who gets killed in the fighting), and stays behind to watch the battle from his tent and pray. The Vikings are crushed, and the Irish take the day, but an escaping Norse warrior, Brodir of the Isle of Man, cuts his way free in the chaos and finds the old high king in his tent. He charges, thinking to take the Irish leader out at least, but old Brian still has some fight left in him. Brodir's sword chops into Brian's skull, but not before Brian's own blade half severs the Vikings knee, causing him to bleed out. They die together.

If I had to choose a way to go, it's be an orgasm-induced heart attack in a whorehouse.

Definetly a manly way to die.

In Cross of Iron, Sam Peckinpah film, a dickhead German soldier is getting a blowjob from a female captured Russian soldier. She bites his dick off.

Manly way to die?

After that you'd better hope it kills you.

What guy would want to live after that!

No. If your dick is gone, you cannot possibly be manly.

What about going into a deep coma for twenty billion years, sucking up matter from an alternate universe, and then awakening when our universe is dead, and then releasing enough matter into the universe thus causing it to collapse again, eventually resulting in another Big Bang? That's from a story of mine.

BTW, what happened to the universe in the story is an actual theory- supposedly there is not enough matter in the universe to cause it to collapse, so supposedly it will keep expanding, and someday everything will die- the stars will burn out and all of the remaining matter will disperse into its component atoms.

Cheery thought, huh?

Anyone ever watch The Man Show? They once advertised a service called "Die Like a Man," where your terminally ill male loved ones could be killed in more manly ways than dying in a hospital bed, like battling a lion, or having an orgasm-induced heart attack in a whorehouse, or falling out of a burning plane. I forgot what else.
