Point Blank Pointless

In your opinion, what is the most unnecessary murder, kill or suicide (Basically, death) that you've seen in movies?

i know this is an unpopular opinion, but alan arkin in little miss sunshine. even if his character did "need" to die, it certainly shouldn't have occured in the middle of the movie.

Definitely not a pointless death in American History X, one of the best scenes in the whole film imo.

I agree, they just had to make the story even more ridiculous.

How about Wash? I think that was more cruel then Books' death. Yeah killing him off left a lot unexplained about his background but still I found Wash a more likeable character.

I wasn't a fan of his death. But it did heighten the climax.

It did, but it left a hollow feeling. Mainly because I watched the entire series of Firefly before I got around to seeing Serenity and got to know his character first.

To be honest I would have felt the same if any of them had gotten killed off.

Not really a death scene because neither died, but this was just plain unnecessary, in Freddy vs. Jason, when they are on the dock near the end of the movie, Freddy puts his claws in Jason's eyes, Jason puts his part of a hand through Freddy's stomach, it was just the most gory, bloody, and unnecessary scene I have ever seen.
