Strange movie deaths quiz 6.

Another way to die?

One of the perks of watching a lot of movies is that you see screenwriters getting more and more creative as time goes on. Writers always try to come up with something that hasn’t been attempted/done before. And nowhere has this been more apparent than in the morbid niche of movie storytelling that is: the death scene. 

I must have seen thousands of people meet their maker on the silver screen during my short life on this earth. Explosions, gunshots, you name it. But there are far more creative ways to kill a human –as movies tell us.

So here I wish to have a little (morbid) quiz. I’ll state ten causes of death and in the spoiler tag below it is the movie it came from. See how many you get.

Theme: Strange, specific, murder weapons
I’m talking murder here. So one person using a specific item to kill another human being. What item does one use? This is a tricky subject because something as rudimentary as a ‘knife’ will bring several movies to the table. However, if I talk about a Tibetan knife (or a Kīla), I’ve narrowed it down.
The Shadow.

So in this little morbid (fun) quiz I’m going to name various highly specific murder weapons. It’s up to you to guess the movie.

1. Intact wine bottle.

Pan’s labyrinth

2. A giant bear trap.

Ravenous

3. A scissor sculpture.

Dead again

4. Barracuda (fish).

The deep

5. Microscope.

The phantom (I know I’m cheating, since he might have survived, but it was too good to leave out)

6. Basketball.

Deadly Friend

7. Coin.

X-men: first class

8. Red light.

Speed

9. Rotating doors.

James Bond: The living daylights

10. Sliding doors.

Thirteen ghosts
