Default Re: [OT] The best ever death...

Well, I won't call it a masterpiece of the cinema, but I have one that qualifies...

My college gaming buddies and I were sitting around on a Saturday morning watching a chop-suey kung fu movie - ridiculous stunts, bad dubbing, the whole works. Towards the end, one of the bad guys was doing a flying leap attack on one of the heroes, who promptly skewered him on a large pike, like a shish kabob. The baddie lay on the ground, grimacing in pain, and said his Last (apropriately enough, badly dubbed) lines...

"At least it was a glorious ninja death!"

Whereupon my buddies and I - literally - were rolling on the floor laughing our rear ends off.

The phrase passed into a proverb for us. Whenever somebody screwed up big time - in game or RL - we'd remark, "It was a glorious ninja death."
