Death by surfboard

July 5, 2008 10:45 PM

What movies (besides Lethal Weapon 2) feature a decapitation by surfboard? I remember a scene in which someone in a car is decapitated by a surfboard coming off another car in a car chase on a winding road.

Response by poster: Dang! I just watched the decapitation by surfboard scene from Lethal Weapon 2 for the first time in 10 years or so, and that's the one I was thinking of. For some reason I was convinced it was from an older movie. On the other hand, Lethal Weapon 2 looks incredibly dated now. Thanks anyway!

I'm pretty sure there's a similar decapitation in the Bond movie, License to Kill.

I can't think of a movie, but I'm pretty sure there was a surfboard decapitation sequence in an episode of the TV show "Dead Like Me."

Check out Troma Films. They made (make?) notoriously campy films which often feature very grotesque, silly, or creative deaths.

One of their "classics" is called "Surf Nazis Must Die." Never seen it personally but, knowing Troma films, I'd be fairly confident in betting that there's a surfboard decapitation somewhere in there!

Unbelievably, this doesn't happen in Point Break.
