Nice Quiz. One thing, Coral died along with 399 of her children in Finding Nemo.

The other 299 didn't have enough character development for QM to care about them.

Did Doc Brown really die? Guess it depends on which time line you consider to be the "real" one...

And finally, there are two of these that show up on my Movies by Absurd Death quiz... but... let's be honest... you don't need any help from me to come up with a Zoolander question.

The radiation poisoning question also works for "K19 - Widowmaker".

Level 91
Sep 7, 2017
I think it could be used for multiple movies.

I thought of K-19 first and could not figure out why it did not work. Star Trek may be a little better known but K-19 is a legit answer to the clue.

K19 will work now even though I think all the characters who died died in other parts of the ship hours after being exposed.

When I first read the question I thought K-19 (which I haven't even seen) then I saw "spaceship". Wrath of Khan is great but I think I gotta see K-19 now

Elle Driver didn't die on screen in Kill Bill Vol. 2, she could have survived, technically. Plus, eye-gouging didn't kill her anyway.

+1. Just watched it (again) last week and the closing credits have Elle listed as a '?' for her survival status whereas all the others get their names crossed out.

It wasn't really a gouging either. Her eye was deftly plucked out. It was then summarily squished.

So close. I guessed the wrong Star Trek movie. Because it was Spock that died, I couldn't get "The Search for Spock" out of my head.

and I feel like you could say "creature" instead of alien so that the answer isn't in the question

Could also say "xenomorph" since that's what they are actually called, but I agree just saying "alien" really gives it away. Not like the chest bursting incident doesn't though, LOL.

I love Hunt for Red October, perfect movie, but I don't recall it having any unique and memorable deaths for it to be added to the quiz. Unless maybe the clue is "I would like to have seen Montana"

actually in Monty Pythons Meaning Of Life he doesn't die. after he explodes hes still alive moving hishead and eyes and we never actually see him die and so we must assume (according to monty python logic) he survives. if you want a death in monty python you can have either underwent live liver transplant or ate rotten salmon moose

Or not know the capital of Assyria, or meet the Killer Rabbit, or be member of a suicide squad, or be a mouse and not a man and be hit by a 16 ton weight, or refuse to defend yourself against an attacker with a banana... or be a parrot!

The last clue is not correct. Henry Methvin's father was in the road, acting as a decoy for the ambush. The duo never got out of the car before the posse opened fire. This is presented accurately in the movie.

I know many are tired of Harry Potter clues, but there were some interesting deaths there - staring at the eyes of a basilisk, being bitten by Nagini the snake, suffocated by a devil's snare plant, the avada kedavra curse, stabbings, hangings, partial beheading, poisonings, backfiring spells, turned to dust after touching Harry, drowned by inferi, overfeeding (flobberworms), mauled by a werewolf, strangled by own silver hand, incinerated by dragon breath, etc. - all anyone could ask for in a series of children's books. :)

If you think that's good stuff check out Animorphs. Lovely children's books from the late 90s that feature things like slavery, Cronenbergian body horror, a kid murdering a cop, underage drinking, cults, child rapists, maggots eating dead flesh, eye gouging, unscrupulous car salesmen, PTSD, attempted suicide, poaching, a little girl who's depressed because her parents don't love her anymore, and cannibalism. And that was just in the first few books out of like 60

In Top Gun - Goose died by breaking his neck on the roof of the cockpit glass - not from ejecting it from the window.
