[Music]
number 10 the joker the dark knight
serving as one of the most memorable
movie villains of the 21st century
heath ledger's joker was almost
guaranteed to die
enough from the clown let's
not blow this out of proportion
you think you could steal from us and
just walk away yeah i'm putting the word
out
500 grand for this clown dead batman
isn't really
one to off his victims but still the bad
guys do die
including jack nicholson's joker in the
1989 batman however things were
different for the dark knight
batman finds a joker using gotham's
phones and after a brief fight tosses
him off the tall building
not being one for murder batman saves
the falling joker with his grappling
hook and leaves him dangling for the
police
you just couldn't let me go could you
he nearly encounters the same fate as
nicholson's joker
but that wouldn't have been very
original or surprising now would it
number 9. snake pliskin escape from new
york
serving as one of john carpenter's
greatest action movies escape from new
york stars kurt russell as a federal
prisoner named snake pliskin
snake is ordered to save the president
from a crime-ridden
manhattan which has been converted into
a giant maximum security prison
you go in find the president bring him
out in 24 hours
and you're a free man 24 hours huh i'm
making you an offer
certain death is pretty much guaranteed
and supporting characters repeatedly
expressed surprise at
snake being alive wait a minute
i know who you are yeah but i heard you
were dead
i am and despite all that he has put
through snake does
indeed survive the mission proves a
success
the president is saved and snake is
successful in embarrassing the president
in front of the summit you gonna kill me
now snake i'm too
tired maybe later
number eight gair grimsrud fargo
this coen brothers masterpiece sees gare
grimsrud and carl showalter acting as
main antagonists as they are hired by
jerry lundegaard to kidnap jerry's wife
gene
of course things immediately go off the
rails due to carl's careless
ineptitude and while audiences may have
expected both to die
carl is the only one who faces death
being famously murdered by gere
and fed through a wood chipper
[Music]
gare himself is simply shot in the leg
by marge and arrested
leaving him one of the few survivors of
this grim
and bloody tale number seven dominic
toretto
furious seven this isn't the type of
franchise to permanently off beloved
characters especially
the main character played by the very
bankable vin diesel
but things were looking quite dire for a
second there
the climax of furious 7 sees dom
attempting to crash his car into
jakande's helicopter
however the car narrowly misses the
helicopter plunges into the collapsed
parking garage
and falls to the street below by all
accounts the man is dead
however letty brings him back with the
power of love or
something and dom regains consciousness
with the quip
i remember everything
i remember it all
it's about time he's then able to see
off brian in one of the decades most
famous endings you'll always be with me
and you'll always be my brother number
six
rod williams get out jordan peel is
great for subverting
expectations especially when it comes to
the comedic characters
how can i get in trouble for pat down an
old lady it's standard procedure
it's a well-known fact that funny
supporting characters don't survive
horror movies rod was by far the
funniest character in get out
and while he wasn't part of the main
action in upstate new york
we still expected him to die however rod
actually proves quite competent as a
friend
and detective and actually rescues chris
at the end of the movie
i mean i told you not to go in that
house
peel would again allow the funny
character to live in
us as gabe survives with the rest of his
family
so if y'all want to get crazy we can get
crazy
now the cops are already on their way
number five cal hockley titanic
completely unacceptable what made you
think that you could put your hands on
my fiancee
look at me you filth cal what do you
think you were doing
cow was just begging to die he's the
main antagonist of the movie
well besides that dreaded iceberg he's a
slimy character that the audience grows
to hate
he serves as the primary obstacle
between jack and rose
and we all know that the titanic will
sink it was
obvious that cal would be one of the
victims yet
he wasn't after chasing jack and rose
through the sinking titanic
calri lanton decides to get off the ship
with a lost child
what she has in the world
step back step back
he is later seen looking for rose aboard
the carpathia
and rose's voiceover informs us that he
apparently took his own life
after the wall street crash of 1929 it
was the great depression that claimed
cal
not the titanic that's the last time i
ever saw him
he married of course and inherited his
millions
but the crash of 29 hit his interest
hard
number four robbie ferrier war of the
worlds
the ending of this movie is quite
infamous both for its
anticlimactic conclusion the aliens die
from bacterial infection and for the
fact that robbie inexplicably survives
for the sake of a happy ending
robbie fancies himself a hero and he
later decides to join the military to
fight the alien invaders
despite no training experience equipment
or weapons
just as robbie rushes off the hill is
rocked by a massive explosion and the
arrival of an alien tripod
both of which spell doomed for anyone in
the nearby vicinity
and then robbie shows up at his mother's
house at the end of the movie
and he and ray share a touching
father-son hug
his survival and subsequent journey to
boston is
never explained number three randy meeks
scream throughout scream randy is
established as the resident horror movie
nerd
why would he want to kill his own
girlfriend there's always some stupid
[ __ ] reason to kill your girlfriend
that's the beauty of it all simplicity
besides if it gets too complicated you
lose your target audience
he knows all the tropes and he's the one
who eventually establishes
the rules to his fellow high school
students randy's profound knowledge of
the horror genre
combined with his status as the funny
character
should have guaranteed his death there
are a few fake outs
in one scene ghost face hovers just
above randy as he drunkenly lies on the
couch
in another he's shot in the chest by
billy flipped out
he's gone mad
we all go a little bad sometimes
but despite these close calls randy
makes it out alive
even warning sydney that billy was
likely to come back for
one last scare unfortunately randy
doesn't prove as
lucky in the sequel you want to be one
of the big boys
huh manson bundy
oj number two hans landa
and glorious bastards
movie viewers were waiting roughly 150
minutes to witness hans landa's demise
land is one of the most despicable
villains in modern movie history
played to absolute perfection by
christoph waltz his death would have
proven incredibly
satisfying but this is hans landa we're
talking about
the man is smart landa manages to strike
a deal with the american government
offering them hitler and the end of
world war ii in exchange for his
personal freedom and a pardon
full citizenship for myself well that
goes without saying
and i would like the united states of
america to purchase
property for me on nantucket island
as a reward for all the countless lives
i've saved the deal is accepted and
while landa gets a nasty forehead
swastika at the hands of aldo
he nevertheless survives and presumably
lives out the rest of his days in
massachusetts
i'm gonna give you something you can't
take off we can safely say that
no one was expecting that outcome
[Music]
i think this just might be my
masterpiece before we unveil our top
pick here are a few honorable mentions
where we're scratching our heads saying
how did they survive chris mannix
the hateful eight despite his nasty
wound mannix makes it to the end
with major marquis warren hey
can i see that thinking better private
richard ryban
saving private ryan ryban was a minor
character
and one of the few to survive
[Music]
nick van owen the lost world jurassic
park
nick escapes and reappears with some
rescue helicopters
it's okay it's over now well
that's one souvenir that won't be taken
with him phil connors
groundhog day phil escapes the loop and
continues life with rita hansen
despite numerous attempts on his life
today is tomorrow
it happened
you're here i'm here chef chilios
crank the man survives everything even
falling out of a helicopter

number one indiana jones indiana jones
in the kingdom of the crystal skull
we weren't expecting indiana jones to
make it out of this one
one thing harrison ford was 65 years old
when the movie was released
and it seemed like the one last hurrah
for the iconic character before
ford threw in the towel but more
importantly the movie contained an
infamous scene involving a fridge and a
nuclear weapon
do not remove goggles or face burst
until
10 seconds after first light oh that
can't be good at all
trapped in the nevada test site during
an atomic bomb test
jones decides to hide inside a
lead-lined refrigerator
said fridge is then blasted through the
air rather than being pulverized
and indiana shambles out like nothing
happened
it's a ridiculous sequence even by
indiana jones standards
and the series should have ended right
then and there
do you agree with our picks let us know
