Sudden Impact – Death By Distraction

By Daniel on June 18, 2009 under Movies, Tv Shows · View Comments · Tags:

A distracted film/TV character steps off the curb and is suddenly killed by a speeding automobile. It’s a done-to-death plot device used by desperate writers to increase ratings.

Watch a short compilation of such scenes, put together by the funny people at CollegeHumor.

  • hold on, the best one is missing. Isn't there a movie with Johnny Depp as death and there's a similar scene? Except the body is being hit by two cars. Should have been the ultimate.
  • That would be Brad Pitt in 'Meet Joe Black', and not Johnny Depp. And yes, they should have included that death in the list.
  • that's the one :-) The doubble Whammy!
  • Huh, didn't realize Lost had killed the guy from Heroes. Guess I was distracted.
