Most Badass Character Death.

John Marston's in RDR. I mean, a firing squad is pretty badass, especially if you shoot half of them.
Red Dead Redemption
John Marston. You gun down as many of the fuckers as your dead-eye meter allows you to...but it's futile. Still...you're a cow-boy, and you aint gonna go down without no fight.
Bioshock
Andrew Ryan. That scene in general is so well done. I mean...you never have control taken away from you until then...and why? Because you're being mind-controlled, and at that instance everything that happened before hits you like a brick. His death is also quite admirable. Sure he had a rather messed up philosophy, and he then proceeded to turn his back on that philosophy in a pathetic attempt to keep hold of power, but he went down a 'man' and not a 'slave'. He chose his death, and by making you do it against your will, highlighted you as just a slave. Powerful.
Halo Reach
Emille in particular had a cool death. Gets over-run with Zealot Elites, guns one of them down point blank, but gets back-stabbed by another. With a sword thrust right through his stomach he's still able to swing around and shove a knife in his killers neck.
"I'm ready! How 'bout you?"
Noble Six's death is also great. You keep on fighting until it's wave after wave of Elites, and you're getting hammered with Wraith mortars. Eventually you have to die, but you go down fighting.
Mass Effect 2
Not really bad-ass at all, but if you're fail-shep on the suicide mission, then you die. It's kind of touching seeing all your squad die, only for Sheppard to fall from the Normandy at the very end, all the while pleading Joker to get the hell out of there so he can tell the galaxy the reapers are coming.

Not a game but
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
The whole episode is unbelievably epic. I get shivers just listening to Libera Me now...

The Predator from... Predator.
After wiping out an entire squad, and nearly killing Arnie, he still self-destructs himself and laughs about it all!

I'd agree, the scene in the movie was pretty awesome.RufusMcLaser said:
Asch's death from Tales of the Abyss was pretty awesome.
I'm gunna go with Duncan from Dragon Age: Origins.
He knife climbs his way up an Ogre and slays the beast that murdered his King. Then is killed while protecting his King's corpse. Even if you didn't know Duncan very well, that death hit hard.
Chrono's Death from Chrono Trigger.
Still one of the best scenes in a game I've ever played. Lavos totally Party-kills you a couple times through the game as plot, but never until this point does he actually disintegrate a member... the party leader and main titular character, no less.

So after being shot many times, beaten with guns, falling from a flying fortress and loosing his right arm, he take the weapon of a Nobuseri(one of the series giant Mecha, its many times his own size), causes it to start vibrating, and stands in front of the Crash landing Capital City(the flying Fortress), stopping it from crashing into the Village he was protecting.
He literally explodes from the energy he was releasing, all that's left of him after the battle is his boots and melted pieces of his body

And in movies i've got to say:
V,from V for vendetta.
Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.
Although I agree this was really well done, I wouldn't really call it badass. Sure, he kills a whole bunch of soldiers, but I found it to be far too sad to be badass. Maybe that's just me.JemothSkarii said:

Raziel at the end of LoK
efiance. Partially because its his way of flipping the Wheel the bird, metaphorically speaking, and partially because I love awesome mini-speeches at death.

Roy Batty in Bladerunner. His dying lines inspired the creation of song lyrics and Bladerunner itself...whole genres of music.
Noble 6 or Emile in Halo: Reach. He gets stabbed in the chest, swings around and snaps the Elite's neck then dies. Noble .6 takes down 4 Elite's while lying on the ground
