Salim's plans for the Crimson Jihad have been dealt a blow when Tasker's irritating little sprog steals the key to the control panel that arms the nuclear devices. Following a rooftop chase, she is about to fall when Tasker appears below her in a Harrier (VTOL plane) and she lands on the nose cone.
Salim is not going lose his quarry so easily though and he jumps down onto the plane, draws a knife and tries to stab Harry. It proves difficult to control a plane while fighting Salim and invariably Tasker ends up backing the plane into a skyscraper. This results in Salim being flung backwards, where he has his crotch crushed by the tail of the plane.

However, it does mean that Salim is next to the gun he dropped earlier. Picking this up he walks up the length of the plane, and orders Tasker to land it or he will shoot Tasker's daughter. Tasker looks at his daughter and makes an eye movement, indicating to his daughter to hold on as he is going to tilt the plane. Salim, with nothing to hold on to, loses his balance and slides down the wing of the Harrier.
Lets all do the Jihad Shuffle: a hop to the right, a slide to the left.....
Statistically he should have fallen to his death, but that is not a "Hollywood" enough death for this villain, and so the strap of the gun gets hooked over one of the sidewinder missiles on the Harrier's wing. At that very moment Tasker notices the helicopter with the remaining terrorists in it. He looks at Salim, then back to the helicopter. This is either a) a Hollywood visual effect to make the audience pre-empt what is going to happen, or b) Tasker's painfully slow brain working through the opportunity.
With the terrorist dangling on a missile, Harry decides to "wing" it.
With the words "you're fired" (I kid you not, he really does say that!) Tasker shoots the missile at the helicopter. Salim has no choice but to fly along for the ride (screaming) and we watch as he and the missile hits the helicopter, resulting in a nice explosion high above the urban sprawl.

Love the comments for the last three pics. Made me giggle like a Japanese schoolgirl.
Hey, do you still happen to have the fullsized images?
Its actually an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile not a AGM-65 Maverick, he he feel the wrath of my mighty geek knowledge.
hehe, cheers for that - it is the little details that are important! i have tweaked the entry, as it does indeed look like a sidewinder. I am sure in the film they mention maverick missiles, but since when has Hollywood been accurate
Surely 'Projectile'?
Not really since he himself isn't actually struck by the projectile.
if Salim Abu Aziz had lived the Crimson Jihad would have destroyed one US Major City each week.
Actually this is untrue. By the time Aziz bites the big one, Crimson Jihad was whittled down to about five or six guys in a helicopter, and their nukes rendered useless without the detonation key. Aziz's death was not actually necessary to end the story; he could've just been arrested.
If Salim Abu Aziz had been arrested then he might have been able to escape and re-establish his terrorist group in order to carry out his plans.
I guess, but whatever.
Perhaps there should be a category to indicate that the killer utters a cheesy line before or after the death.
