Most Badass Character Death.

The ending to the movie I Am Legend was a pretty badass way to die, even if it made the "zombies" seem like yet another mindless foe to rid the world of.
To speak for a game, the only true badass death I can think of would be:

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Runners up include:
Aliens
Apocalypse Now
What could be more badass than going down in a blaze of glory while fighting the whole Bolivian army?
This was definitely the movie death(s) I thought of while reading the topic.

Gorman's and Vasquez's death in the air duct. Unable to move, they grab a grenade with release trigger, put their fingers on it and wait for the final bite. Badass!
Apocalypse Now
George Phillips. He tries to impale Willard with the spear that protrudes from his chest. That's badass.
John Marston in Red dead Redemption
You try to take out as many agents as you can in deadeye but its useless. you get shot,and your family finds your body. You went out like a man just to save your family. If that is not badass than the blizzard going on right outside my window will stop right now.

that was a really good one. Especially since the pelican wasn't flying when it happened.Istanbul said:
He died a hero's death. A very cinematic one too.The Night Shade said:
OT: My vote goes to Andrew Ryan for game deaths. I know other people mentioned his death but it's definitely worth another mention or several.
As for film deaths, I think I'll just do a blanket recommendation and vote for the last (I think) 5 minutes of Reservoir Dogs. The 3-person, Mexican standoff. Steve Buschemi as the voice of reason xD!!
I can't remember his name but in the Discworld book, Maskerade, the main antagonists's death isn't particularly great but it is still one that I really like. When Death comes to take his soul, he is dressed in red (that entire book is a parody of Phantom of the Opera)
Another great in-book death is that on Darth Bane at the hand of his apprentice Zannah. The means by which he dies however, is a bit suspect, suggesting that he didn't really die but lives on in her. According to cannon though, no he is dead...but his spirit is sealed in a Holocron later used in the Star Wars Legacy comics.
Anyone unfortunate enough to be in my way in Fallout 3 or New Vegas after I get the Bloody Mess Perk! Shooting a man in the head and making his arms and legs fly in different directions? Definitely bad ass. If you want specifics:
I sneaked up behind Tennpenny with a knife and sliced his neck, causing all of his limbs to fall off! I then picked up every piece of him and threw them over the railing piece by horribly mutilated piece.
I convinced Benny to talk me to the presidential suite alone to "talk" and I just headshotted him with my hidden pistol and killed him. I picked up his body and laid it on the pool table and pulled out my cleaver and started hacking away at the limbs and all of a sudden he completely exploded! A loud "BANG" and a red mist covered the screen momentarily and when that cleared, the only thing remaining was Benny's head, right hand, one of his legs and some hunks of organs and meat! I placed the head in the middle of the large meeting table in the next room, the hand on the pool table in the middle of the blood pool, the leg in one of the bath tubs and the pieces of random organs and gibs in the other bath tub. I managed to find his heart and placed that in the toilet. Talk about revenge! Then I ironically convinced my follower, Cass, that killing people for revenge is wrong and finished her companion quest in the nonviolent path!
If you did well enough to get one of the better endings, then the Origami Killer's death in Heavy Rain was pretty satisfying >
The first Modern Warfare had it's share of badass deaths too, especially the whole ending sequence and the famous "Shock and Awe".

He sacrifices his soul to be put onto a cross to prevent the Fall, for all eternity. Not many deaths beat that.
That is one of the things that I thought Jackson did better than Tolkien. This guy was a great hero of Gondor, a warrior who had held back the darkness for years through strength of arms. His death will have ramifications in the days that follow that reach far beyond simply reducing the fellowship's numbers. In the book, his death is mentioned in passing. In the movie he gets a last stand worthy of a hero.C117 said:
Spoilers ahead.
Games: Emile and Six from Halo Reach. My character from Dragon Age. No matter how much I hate the game I'll say John Marston. Bill from Left 4 Dead.
Books: I'm not sure, I don't read a lot of books but I'll say Boromir because if I put it in movies there will inevitably be people yelling at me.
Movies: Bruce Willis in Armageddon (always makes me cry, no I'm not a pussy it's just the music). The Predator in any movie featuring Predator. Colonel Miles Quaritch in Avatar (new Chuck Norris).
There's probably more but those are mine.

My Dragon Age Mage died pretty awesome. Making the biggest sacrifice and showing a world drenched in darkness a little light.
