Helen Tasker, believing Harry to be dead, has been captured and is being taken away from Florida Keys by Juno Skinner. Harry and his team are in hot pursuit trying to stop the terrorists getting the nuclear devices onto the mainland. Using some planes, the team manage to blow up a couple of the trucks and blow a big hole in the bridge.
Juno, witnessing this, is momentarily distracted from pointing the gun at her prisoner. Helen spots her opportunity to break free and, while Juno is arguing with the limo driver, she makes a grab for the gun and the pair struggle.
During the course of this struggling, some shots are fired. Inevitably, one of the shots blows the driver's head off. As we all know, when a driver dies in a Hollywood film, they always end up putting their foot down hard on the accelerator in their death throes. Now the girls are left to fight it out in a slightly out of control, speeding limo.
Despite the handicap of being dead, the limo driver manages to continue driving in a relatively straight line
By bashing Juno's hand against the open sunroof, Helen manages to make Juno release her grip on the gun and the pair have to grapple. This proves to be quite entertaining, and the fight culminates in Helen ramming her foot in Juno's face to prise her off.
Helen tells Juno that her bum looks big in that dress / Juno is repulsed by Helen's overpowering foot odour
While Juno is on the floor of the limo recovering, Helen wastes no time and grabs a bottle of wine from the mini-bar and beats Juno over the head with it.
Helen makes Juno spill some claret
Juno was alive enough to see the ocean filling her view before being engulfed by it. She did not die by bludgeoning, she was merely incapacitated by it in order to die by another means. It's an indirect bludgeoning death, if anything.
Agreed. She would have died by the car crashing into the ocean.
Does that mean we need screenshots of the limo actually flying off the bridge?
Ocafi and universe are correct.
After a few scenes where Helen is being rescued by Harry, Juno wakes up, sees the bridge come to an end and goes "oh sh*t!". As the limo flys off, Helen goes through the sunroof, gripping Harry's hand, while Juno ends up crashing into the ocean.
No, it is not useful but a screenshot of Juno last expression when she realizes what's happening could be interesting.
Did you get my PM, MB?
Nope.
I meant Mouseburger. I gave him a PM regarding this death a few weeks ago.
I agree, this is a Crash.
I always enjoyed the cheesy line Helen said when she bashed Juno with the wine bottle
Usually its only Arnold thats allowed such dumb, laugh-to-suppress-the-gag-reflex one-liners
The most interesting thing about it, to me, is that she'd probably live if she'd actually let go of the car, based upon her possible trajectory while the car fell off the bridge. And who doesn't want to see more Tia Carrere am I right?
