  (#15) The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

  • Tim Blake Nelson, Liam Neeson, James Franco, Zoe Kazan, Tyne Daly, Tom Waits

  Challenging someone to a duel in the Wild West is a terrifying proposition. No matter what happens, one of you isn't walking away alive. With that said, Buster Scruggs couldn't have been less scared as he follows Joe's brother out into the town square for their duel.

  Buster begins their showdown by blasting off all five fingers on Joe's brother's right hand. You'd think doing something like that would just about end the fight - but no, Joe's brother is a fighter, and he struggles to grab his side arm with his left hand (the one that still has fingers).  

  This leaves Buster in a bit of a predicament, as he only has one bullet left. You can tell Buster is scared by the method in which he turns around, pulls out a mirror, and fires his remaining bullet backward into the chest of Joe's brother.

  (#10) Big Trouble in Little China

  • Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall, John Carpenter, James Hong, Kate Burton, Gerald Okamura, Al Leong, Dan Inosanto, James Lew, Jerry Hardin, George Cheung, Victor Wong, Noel Toy, Chao-Li Chi, Jeff Imada, James Pax, Donald Li, Bill M. Ryusaki, Stuart Quan, Dennis Dun, Nathan Jung, Kenny Endoso, Peter Kwong, Leo Lee, June Kyoto Lu, Carter Wong, Dawna Lee Heising, Lia Chang, Paul J.Q. Lee, Eric Lee, James Lou, Gary Toy, Noble Craig, William S. Wong, Brian Imada, Daniel Lee, Danny Kwan, Jade Go, Vernon Rieta, Suzee Pai, Daniel Wong, Jimmy Jue, Shinko Isobe, William B. Snider, Yukio G. Collins, Diana Tanaka, Min Luong, Donna L. Noguschi, Rummel Mor, Craig Ng

  Here's the scenario: Your friends are lying lifeless around you, and your enemies outnumber you 4-to-1. What do you do? 

  An amateur fighter might choose to push through and keep fighting, leading to their inevitable demise in hand-to-hand combat. 

  Not a professional fighter, though. A true champion, like Thunder in Big Trouble in Little China, knows that sometimes the only honorable way out is to expand your body past its limits so that your entire being explodes, killing you and causing the roof to cave in on your enemies. 

  Look at the above picture long and hard - that's what a true hero looks like.

  (#12) Vincent Vega In 'Pulp Fiction'

  You don't pull on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, and you don't under any circumstances interrupt Bruce Willis while he's trying to enjoy a nice off-brand Pop-Tart. You especially don't do that if you have already alerted Bruce to your presence by leaving your silenced pistol on the table. This not only lets Bruce know you're there, but gives him said silenced pistol to then shoot you with. Honestly, it's sloppy work, and you never want to let your guard down around a wild Bruce.

  This scene was extra funny because Vincent Vega was the lead character, and suddenly he's just done for. That's it - he's gone. Honestly, a movie unceremoniously killing off a lead character is just never going to get old.

  In real life, someone wrongs you, and that's basically the end of it. You might stay up late into the night imagining what you should have done, but in the actual moment, the vast majority of people choose to do nothing. Luckily, it doesn't work that way in films. In a movie, someone can have their comeuppance immediately, and it's incredibly satisfying to watch. 

  In the back half of Django Unchained, Django convinces a group of slave traders to let him go, so he can lead them to even greater riches. The traders agree, and then the exact moment Django is handed a gun, he shoots all three of them. Quentin Tarantino, playing one of the traders, happens to be holding a sack full of dynamite, and thus his character bites the dust in a massive - and perfectly timed - explosion.

  (#2) Pulp Fiction

  • John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, Christopher Walken, Quentin Tarantino, Steve Buscemi, Kathy Griffin, Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Rosanna Arquette, Ving Rhames, Eric Stoltz, Julia Sweeney, Amanda Plummer, Phil LaMarr, Dick Miller, Alexis Arquette, Peter Greene, Bronagh Gallagher, Maria de Medeiros, Frank Whaley, Paul Calderón, Lawrence Bender, Karen Maruyama, Michael Gilden, Stephen Hibbert, Duane Whitaker, Emil Sitka, Angela Jones, Burr Steers, Don Blakely, Joseph Pilato, Rene Beard, Venessia Valentino, Linda Kaye, Brad Parker, Chandler Lindauer, Glendon Rich, Ani Sava, Brenda Hillhouse, Susan Griffiths, Robert Ruth, Lorelei Leslie, Eric Clark, Rich Turner, Devan Richardson, Jerome Patrick Hoban, Carl Allen, Sy Sher, Laura Lovelace, Gary Shorelle, Cie Allman, Lori Pizzo

  Humans all seem to have an innate belief that our lives, and thus our deaths, have some sort of meaning. Even in the language of film, we've grown accustomed to the fact that if we know a character's name, if we've heard them speak, their death will hold some measure of gravitas. 

  That's why it's so brilliantly funny when Vincent Vega (John Travolta) accidentally blows Marvin's head off in the middle of a casual conversation. The deadpan delivery of "I shot Marvin in the face" only adds to the comedic contrast of the moment. A man has perished, a mother has lost her son, yet Vincent and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) discuss this in the same tone they discussed cheeseburgers at the beginning of the film. 

  It's... well, it's hilarious. Is that okay to admit? Who knows, but the important thing is that this scene is funny.

  White Boy Bob fatally wounded himself when he fell while running up a set of stairs, accidentally firing his piece through his own head. White Boy Bob seems to be the only person at fault in this mishap, but there's an argument to be made that the American education system is just as guilty. Maybe if students were told a little less about the dangers of running with scissors, and a little more about the dangers of running with a loaded pistol, this could have been avoided. 

  When your nickname is based on the immediate attributes someone finds out about you within five seconds of meeting you, you're probably not a very interesting guy. Luckily, White Boy Bob can leave the Earth knowing his new nickname is "Guy Who Shot Himself on the Stairs in Out Of Sight Bob."
