Considering that fact that I have been spending a majority of my limited free time tweaking bauercount.com so that it does not obliterate my host (I am going to run out of bandwidth quite quickly I fear…). Anyway, Wes made a top five, so I will follow suit. This will be a quick list though, since I am quickly writing this up before bed.
Alright, this season has turn my list upside down, shoving off two that I had picked earlier to be replaced. Anyway, here it is:
Nicole was a pretty hot chick, but that is not why this kill matters. The reason that this kill is so epic as to make the top five is because Jack shot the bitch through drywall without hesitation. It has always annoyed me that people in TV and movies are always to use walls, couches, and such as bulletproof cover. Or, at least they treat it that way. I was elated when Jack did not partake in a peekaboo match, instead just blowing the bitch away.
4. Season 6 (1) – Vampiric Delight
So, this kill was supposed to be a poor corel soldier getting obliterated by a flare, but this kill takes the cake. If anyone ever questions the brutal drive to survive of Jack Bauer, they should watch this clip at least twice. He not only ripped out another man’s jugular, but he bit so hard that the man instantly went into shock before fighting back at all.
My original intention was to put Chapelle here, but the Curtis execution tops it, maybe not by a landslide, but enough. The entire sequence was amazing, and surreal. The music was epic, as was Jack’s reaction. Really, nothing about it was not awesome.
Technically speaking, this should probably be my number one. This kill is basically perfect. Granted the finally shot is nothing special, just business as usual. But, the build up to the killing blow is what makes it great. In fact the sequence is so long that it was originally cut into two segments.
1. Season 4 (42) – Paul Raines
This kill is number one if for no other reason than to piss people off. Paul Raines was a noob, his actions made no sense. He was tortured by Jack, and then he took a bullet for Jack, and Jack repaid him by withholding medical treatment.
All of your picks are pretty badass jja.
the hot chick kill again was pretty ruthless but she was no match for JB.
I also don’t believe you picked Paul Raines. I KNOW you are only picking him to piss people off but he really was a compete noob an reminded me in many ways of Russellteee
:-*
Pretty good list, but I think I would have kept Chapelle. When Chapelle is on his knees, and then fails to pull the trigger. Jack had the face of “I know;” Jack then takes the gun, and kills Chapelle. One of the greatest scenes in 24.
frankly, i’m surprised by both you and wesley that the drazen’s were not on the list. that whole sequence on the docks is truly amazing.
Okay, I can’t remember the guy’s name (and can’t find it on Wikipedia), but it was either the first or second episode of season 2, when Jack cut the federal witness’s head off to use as proof to get some cache undercover.
Seriously. How does a beheading *not* make it on this list?
Otherwise, great work! I do have to agree with Brother Jay above, though; the Chapelle moment was impressive.
The Drazen kill is always impressive. It’s just a given that it’s amazing when I wrote my list I wanted to focus on a few goodies and a few that maybe overlooked.
Robert – The guy you are thinking of is Marshall Goren.
