movies best described as unforgettable
shocking and over-the-top kill anybody
since 1984 for the sake of variety we’ve

franchise these have to be successful
hits and not crimes of passion due to
the nature of this list beware of
spoilers you have been warned
number ten spats and his crew some like
it hot he’s a jolly good fellow for he’s
a jolly good fellow which nobody can be

Day Massacre musicians Joe and Jerry
escaped a similar fate at the hands of
spats Colombo and his henchmen come on
if they catch us to be blood all over ty
oh come on spats bold actions and
inability to take care of the witnesses
greatly displeased little Bonaparte who

and just to show you what I think are
you spats the boys tell me was gonna
have a birthday so we baked your little
cake my birthday why it ain’t for
another four months spats is
apprehensive bud goes along with the
celebration failing to see the death
trap that’s hidden in the cake looks
like he won’t live to see his next
birthday big joke number nine rat pulp
fiction you know we are we’re associates
of your business partner Marsellus
Wallace you do remember your business
partner don’t you Bret underestimated
the consequences of stealing from our
Seles Wallace what does Marsellus
Wallace look like what
what are you from watch what ain’t no
country I heard up they speak English in
what whatever the mysterious content of
the briefcase was it warranted a visit
from Wallace’s trusted hitmen Vincent
Vega and Jules Winnfield we have Vincent
we happy yeah we happy Bret’s attempt to
defuse the situation results in the
death of his associate who gets capped
unceremoniously by Jules
I never oh sorry did I break your
concentration
the iconic scene is best known for Jules
monologue as he recites a Bible passage
with as much impassioned fury as the
words themselves before he and Vincent
rained vengeance upon Brett with gunfire
and you will know my name is the law
when I lay my vengeance upon thee
number eight Jimmy Hoffa Hoffa will
never know what really happened to Jimmy
Hoffa who mysteriously vanished in 1975
never let a stranger in your cab in your
house or in your heart unless he is a
friend of flavor his disappearance
inspired many theories but one of the
most persistent is that he was murdered
for his involvement with organized crime
this biographical movie ends with Hoffa
portrayed by Jack Nicholson waiting in
the backseat of his car outside a diner
in Detroit the last place the real-life
Hoffa was seen alive
mr. Hoffa yeah that’s right
a hitman disguised as a driver takes the
opportunity and shoots a trapped Hoffa
repeatedly he then puts the bodies of
Hoffa and his friend and associate in
the back of an 18-wheeler never to be
seen again number seven David Kleinfeld
Carlito’s Way you ripped him off Daniel
who Tony T you did take the million
dollars didn’t you Kleinfeld is not only
a crooked lawyer who stole money from
his mob boss client Tony T taglialucci
but he’s also a murdering snitch after
killing Tony T and his son Kleinfeld
narrowly escapes an attempt on his life
while recovering he’s confronted by Tony
T’s other son who set on avenging his
family he’s a delivery for you mr.
Kleinfeld from hope run my father
I might brother Kleinfeld thinks he has
the upper hand only to realize that
Carlito Brigante unloaded his gun in
retaliation for selling him out adios
counselor leaving Kleinfeld at the mercy
of his killer is such a cold but
satisfying send-off number six Nicky and
Dominick Santoro casino I mean it was
still way too hot for me to even go near
Vegas so I set up a meeting with the
guys way out in the sticks because
they’re the more volatile and outspoken
members of their organization and for
some other more revenge based reasons
said organization makes examples of
Nicky and his brother the word was out
the boss has had enough for Nicky dad
enough how much were they gonna take so
they made an example of him and his
brother unable to do anything but watch
Nicky witnesses the brutal bludgeoning
of his brother by his own crew
the act is so gruesome that even those
wielding the bats show disgust and
hesitation before Frankie delivers the
killing blow
putting Dominic out of his misery so
brutally Malone
Frankie Nikki is also beaten and thrown
in the same grave drawing his last
breaths while being buried alive with
his dead brother beside him number five
Sonny red Donnie Brasco oh the irony
yeah nothing like a surprise Sonny black
is not a gamer tucker put one right here
he’ll never know what hit him three
mafiosi walk into a basement joking
about how their intended victims won’t
see them coming only to bite the dust
themselves Jesus somehow
the laughter dies and the slaughter
begins as Sonny red and his associates
are seriously wounded their suffering is
drawn out while the killers scrambled to
reload and take out the remaining
survivors the scene is memorable for how
realistic and messy the hits are
compared to the cleaner kills we often
see on screen we also love the addition
of a claw hammer to the gunfire number
four
Billy Costigan the departed just fucking
kill me this King cute I am killing you
we really didn’t see this one coming
but considering the movie’s title we
guess we should have know that dirtball
started his life salty projects what was
his name the dapat it following the
discovery of Sullivan as the mole
Costigan takes into the elevator as a
hostage and we feel satisfied the hunt
is over
do suit this pinprick You Know Who I am
You Know Who I am I take him down I’m
taking him downstairs now once the doors
open our sense of relief is snatched
away as Costigan is suddenly shot in the
head by yet another mob mole in the
precinct
despite the jarring turn of events it’s
comforting to see Sullivan himself get
iced in the end okay number three Tommy
DeVito Goodfellas how many years ago was
30 years ago he is up yes for an
organization like the Mafia keeping a
loose cannon breathing is not an option
I have to whack them no way Tommy DeVito
has a lot of character but is
unpredictable and has quite the short
fuse after being insulted by Billy batts
Tommy kills him in a fit of rage despite
his efforts to hide the body of this
made man Tommy is killed in retribution
for the murder
as far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy
being made was like we were all being
made we would now have one of our own as
a member like a lamb to the slaughter
Tommy is drawn to a meeting under the
pretense that he’ll become a made man
only to be shot in the back of the head
number two Tony Montana Scarface it’s
not often that a target gets to fight
back before going six feet under angered
by Tony’s betrayal kingpin Alejandro
Sosa sends a gang to eliminate him I
told you a long time ago you can get a
monkey not me Tony stands his ground
clipping his would-be killers with an
m16 equipped with a grenade launcher to
flame up to my ear however his
cocaine-induced mania and ongoing
exchange of gunfire has him oblivious to
the hit man that sneaks up from behind
the cherry on the sundae of this iconic
mob hit is Tony’s dramatic plunge into
the fountain below with the neon
lettering on the statue ironically
punctuating the scene
before we lay to rest our number-one mob
hit
here are some honorable mentions go on
get your nosh out of here
look in your heart look at your heart
what hurt you mean that – oh that’s
right got it for Oh what’s gonna do me
you gonna do Frank huh let’s do you all
shoot me in front of everybody
huh
number one Sonny Corleone the Godfather
lieutenant et telemedia the Freddy’s
until I’m limited while the execution
seen a Virgil the Turks Alonso and
Captain Mark McCluskey is one of our
favorites we had to go with Sonny
Corleone’s
over-the-top and iconic death I’m honest
model de sings family ties can make you
strong but they can also become quite
the blind spot while Sonny’s on his way
to rescue his sister from her abusive
husband he’s ambushed and gunned down by
rival mobsters armed with tommy guns
the brutal assassination can only be
classified as overkill but the bloodshed
doesn’t end there as Carlo Rizzi would
later be garroted for his role in
Sonny’s death hello Carlo aa mob life is
rough do you agree with our list I drew
up on the first one you buddy down or
have we missed the mark
