Someone posted this in the DS discord, no clue where it's from but it's beautiful.

According to this poster https://youtu.be/MK7hMPG-mWU?si=htoRxKMXJd0Yjxxj, this clip is from NCIS: Los Angeles S13E21.

Damn, thanks!

Two scenes from 'From Paris with love' with a bald John Travolta

Thanks! Love the second one in particular!

I also love this Total Recall recreation. I wish there was more of these.

Indeed, it is. She's also very pretty

There is a nice one I can remember in mainstream T.V with American Horror series - there is an episode where a house cleaner/maid in the typical french maid type short dress and wearing nude pantyhose is cleaning and a guy grabs her forcifully and throws her on the bed and she is struggling and he is on top of her when the jealous and vengeful wife shows up with a gun and interrupts them. It looks really bad for the maid and before she can even say anything the lady shoots her right in the eye and she lets out a death yelp and falls over on the other side of the bed. There is a scene where the camera pans to her death stare with the bullet wound in her eye.

Also, another head shot one I can remember is off screen unfortunately but you see a good shot of it afterwards. The victim is sooo hot, its in the movie Sudden Death. Its a hot chick that is wearing the Pittsburgh Penguins mascot outfit and you can tell she is lovely and she has a bit of class and moxy. A female assassin takes her out but you dont see it, until the main actor goes in a dressing room area and she is slumped there with her beautiful face and a hole in her forehead with blood coming down. I would have loved to see that interaction take place. I imagine her wearing black tights and the assassin giving zero effs of the beauty she just wasted to use the outfit she was just wearing.

She also comes across a nosy female food vendor who is an innocent bystander and she also shoots her but off screen, once again....a little girl this time opens a bathroom stall and sees the dead nosy food vendor with open eyes and blood coming from her mouth dropping down and the little girl screams. The food vendor is wearing coveralls but I was hoping black pantyhose but again, wishful thinking

There is this scene from the TV series Revoloution S2 E15 - Dreamcatcher
I think it's done the rounds, but a good scene, although not much of a body scene afterwards.

Love that scene! I love how her head snaps back when the bullet hits her head, the close up of her lovely staring eyes, as well as the blood trickling out of the wound.

There are some excellent headshot scenes out there, in mainstream media, movies and TV.
My main gripe is that they are often over so quickly, and with little or no build up.
Fortunately there are a couple of decent exceptions, and at least a number of the Asian producers of shows (usually cop or modern thriller dramas) have shown the heroine headshot in slo-mo which is better than nothing.

True - I line to see a build up, and aftermath.

That is better, but I kind of like the brutality of the instant 'lights out' moment.

I hate the person getting shot in the head and standing there looking surprised for a few seconds before falling.

SS Captain Malcolm McDowell shoots Kay Lenz in "The Passage" (1979). This is actually a crazed fantasy sequence from him imagining that he's executing her and her whole family multiple times. It was in very quick succession, so I edited it into a gif with the other shootings removed. I hope that's acceptable.

Err, I don't think this gif is working properly, Mr Critical Mass. Just playing the same sequence over and over which is about a second in length

[criticalmass]

It's working. It's just large and takes a bit for your computer to load over the net. Give it a minute or so and you should slowly start to see it chug along. After it very slowly goes through the whole gif the first time, it will play at normal speed over and over after that.

So if you have a low-powered computer and/or shitty bandwidth, it may take a few minutes to cycle through it the first time. If it still doesn't work for you, let me know, and I'll try to change it / shrink it, etc.

Note: It is a rather short gif, though. All there is is him shooting her in the face twice in rapid succession.

There is this one (off-screen) but excellent after shot...anybody know the title or actress?[image][/image]

The unexpected death of undercover assassin Loretta Salino (Dimitra Arliss) in The Sting (1973).

I find a few of the customs producers get this wrong too (at least, when they do that dynamic, it doesn't work for me)
