My three favorite Sean Bean deaths

It's an old gag: Listing the ways that characters played by Sean 'dies in everything he's in' Bean have shuffled loose from the mortal coil. But it's a good gag - so here are my personal favourite Sean Bean exits:

3: 006 Gets dropped (Goldeneye).

Filmed (in part) at the world biggest radio antenna - the monstrous Arecibo Radio Telescope - what gets me about this scene is the way 006 almost chuckles his final line: "For England James?" Er, no mate, four hundred feet straight down...


2: Boromir does an impression of a very, VERY, angry pin cushion (Lord of the Rings).

Ok, Bean doesn't threaten to bite the Orcs legs off like Monty Pythons Black Knight* did. But that's probably because, after he'd killed twenty of them while three arrows were sticking out of his chest, he was pretty sure none of the rest would let him get close enough.....



1: A good book can be lethal (Equilibrium).

Gunned down for reading poetry. By Batman. Eleven out of ten for style.




Why, you may ask, haven't I included Ned Stark getting beheaded in Game of Thrones? 'After all,' you're probably thinking, 'this nut tries to push a Game of Thrones reference into almost every post - why would he show us mercy now?'.

It's just upsetting too many people is why. Look what it's done to Hitler:


Oh ok, here it is:



*If you don't know who the Monty Pythons Black Knight is you should be ashamed, and search youtube for a video of him immediately! You'll see the resemblance in his attitude to Boromir's attitude during his last stand right away......
