Well, it worked for Aragorn in the final entry of “The Lord of the Rings” film series. When delivering an epic battle speech, it’s best to save a little inspiration for yourself. “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” (2003) And while it’s been revealed that actor Alan Rickman was purposely dropped early while filming the scene to get a genuine reaction, it remains a testament to this film sequence that Han’s final moments can still be easily recalled some three-plus-decades later! It’s all thanks to director John McTiernan’s up-close shot of the villainous Gruber as he falls to his death at the hands of Bruce Willis’ John McClane. You’ll need not look any farther than the action/thriller “Die Hard” however, as the last moments of terrorist baddie Hans Gruber will get permanently etched in your brain upon viewing.
EPIC MOVIES MOVIE
With on-screen movie deaths a dime a dozen, it takes a truly epic final exit to stand the test of time.
And when offered the chance to simply say, "Mercy," for a quick death, Wallace chooses ANOTHER word instead! When it comes to final statements, they don’t get more epic than this. But, even while being brutally tortured, the courageous warrior refuses to yield to the King.
Eventually captured for his daring acts, Wallace is tried for treason, and subsequently sentenced to a public beheading. You know a movie has done its job when a single spoken word induces major goosebumps! This was definitely the case in Mel Gibson’s 1995 war epic “Braveheart.” The film sees Gibson’s William Wallace valiantly lead the Scots in the First War of Scottish Independence. Be it breaking through electrified barriers, battling fighter jets, or unleashing a devastating inferno upon Tokyo City, this monster-sized assault set the tone for years to come. Suffice to say it worked, as Godzilla’s initial attack transfixed audiences of the time with a whole lot of on-screen obliteration. Given the technical limitations in 1954, the filmmakers used miniature sets and "suitmation" to convey the monster’s mammoth scale.
But of all his motion picture carnage, it’s the King of Monster’s first attack that serves as the most epic. With over 30 films to his name, Godzilla has laid quite the path of destruction in his wake. It soon becomes clear, however, that the fortune’s true whereabouts will need to be “earned.” An intense three-way Mexican stand-off and brazen gun battle later, it’s safe to say audiences received the real treasure with this movie moment! It all starts with the character Tuco frantically searching through a Civil War-era graveyard for the location of buried gold. And it’s for good reason, seeing as how it perfectly caps off this Clint Eastwood-starring film with the showdown of all showdowns. Heralded by many as the ultimate Spaghetti Western, “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” is perhaps most remembered for its epic graveyard scene. We’re not crying over the death of a cybernetic assassin – you are! As our hero takes the slow descent into a lava-level smelter, we get one final message – a thumbs up. With the enemy defeated and the T-800’s mission successful, the Terminator must now ensure no future technology is left behind – including himself.
But, its most impactful moment comes courtesy of a surprisingly emotional self-sacrifice in James Cameron’s second installment. Whether it’s Arnold’s “I’ll be back” declaration or the many adrenaline-fueled chase scenes, these sci-fi/actioners pack major punches throughout. There’s no question the blockbuster “Terminator” franchise is chock-full of epic moments.
