Sure, anyone can make a list like this one, but still....voice your opinion, chewers.
Also, we really need that Chud Best Kills article to be republished...loved the hell out of it.

I'll go first with my favorite Final Boss Dispatch of all time.

John Lithgow in Cliffhanger.

That climax is delicious because it actually pulls off a Lithgow Vs. Stallone FIGHT SCENE and makes it credible. For a moment there, Stallone is having a hard time...

Now, if you'll recall, this takes place on the back of an upside-down rescue chopper that is dangling off a cliff.

Once Stallone has had enough, he exclaims: Remember shithead, keep your arms and legs in the vehicle... at all.... TIMES! and kicks Lithgow into the helicopter.

The helicopter finally begins to fall down the cliff...

Lithgow's expression of hopelessness really sells the moment.

His last swan song of:

ulp. aaaaAAAAHHHHH!!!! right before the helicopter crashes down to earth completes the package.

Not a bad list. Far too much Star Wars in there though. And Kill Bill over Psycho? That's just weird.

I don't remember the name of the movie but I know that Apocalypto felt heavily inspired by it. Anyways, it features a death where a British hunter is caught by natives after which they coat him in a layer of clay and he is then cooked alive over a bonfire.

The omission of Bobby Peru's death renders this list void.

He should also make the list of top 50 movie teeth.

That is a hilariously great/bad performance. If there were ever a character that belonged in a Renny Harlin film, it's John Lithgow as Eric Qualen, with his paunch-and-jowls, his inexplicable accent, his constant supply of breathy quips that aren't even jokes really ('We need insulin...would you have thought of that?'), and yes, the fact that he fistfights Stallone on the belly of a helicopter hanging off a cliff, faux-credibly.

Shouldn't Rambo have like five of these? At the very least the guy that gets his throat ripped out and exploded by near point blank Rambo machine gun-age.
