# 86 – The Fellowship of the Ring
"…and THIS is for saying that Kid Icarus is better than Metroid!"
The Fellowship of the Ring:
As with Starship Troopers, we had an equally difficult time selecting the kill to represent this glorious film. Ultimately, we figured you can’t go wrong with a good beheading, so the nod went to the death of Lurtz. After using Boromir as his new archery target, Lurtz is attacked by a rampaging Viggo Mortensen. A great fight ensues, but in the end the large Uruk-hai warrior is no match for the one-time Amish farmer, and he falls prey to his blade. As the head soars into the sky, jets of black blood spurts up after it. Not only is this a great death scene, it’s also shocking! (S.M.)
