Cannibal Ferox (1981) (aka Make Them Die Slowly)	The torturous death scene in this Italian exploitation 'cannibal' film of female victim Pat (Zora Kerova), who was impaled by iron hooks through both breasts and then suspended by ropes attached to the hooks to die in the Amazon jungle sun
Excalibur (1981)	The bloody, climactic mutual impaling scene, in which King Arthur (Nigel Terry) was stabbed by a spear wielded by his son Mordred (Robert Addie), who snarled at his father: "Come father, let us embrace"; Arthur slid on the spear towards his son, and stabbed him in return with his magic sword Excalibur

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) # 34	The surprise gruesome death of traitorous Satipo (Alfred Molina) after absconding with the idol - spikes protruded from his bloodied head as Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) retorted under his breath to his unlucky partner: "Adios, estupido" In one of the greatest crowd-pleasing death scenes, Indy (Harrison Ford) was challenged to do battle with an ominous-looking skilled Arab swordsman dressed in black with a red waistband, in the middle of a Cairo bazaar while he was searching for kidnapped former lover Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen). The overconfident Arab laughed and impressively twirled his swishing broadsword for the crowd. Without hesitation or the slightest bit of fair play, and without bothering to reach for his whip, Indy grabbed for his gun and shot his opponent dead The blood-splattering off-screen death of a burly bald German (Pat Roach) in an airplane propeller And the Total Film entry, the burning and melting of evil Nazi Toht (Ronald Lacey) with a blast of God's wrath as he viewed the opening of the Ark of the Covenant by Belloq (Paul Freeman) who also suffered as fire consumed him and his body exploded

Creepshow (1982)	In one of the film's five stories (The Lonesome Death of Jody Verrill), after discovering a radioactive meteor that turned everything into vegetation, the mournful suicidal death of infected country moron Jordy Verrill (author Stephen King) by blowing his head off to curtail his alien transformation into a green seaweed-draped zombie - as he prayed: "Please God...let my luck be good just this once..."; also the off-screen death of racist eccentric millionaire Upson Pratt (EG Marshall) in his sterile penthouse by a swarm of cockroaches, followed by the creepy, sickening sight of cockroaches emerging from within his body in another story: They're Creeping Up on You
The Dark Crystal (1982)	In this Jim Henson puppet fantasy film, the climactic death scene of young humanoid-female, golden-haired, elf-like gelfling Kira (Kathryn Mullen, voice of Lisa Maxwell) at the end of a quest to find the shard of the magical Crystal; she grabbed the Crystal shard when it fell from Jen's (Jim Henson, voice of Stephen Carlick) hands, but was surrounded by a evil group of bird-lizard hybrid creatures called Skeksis, Masters of the Dark Crystal who wore garish, raggy robes; when she carefully threw the shard back up to Jen, the High Priest Ritual Master (Jim Henson, voice of Jerry Nelson) stabbed her in the back from behind; Jen held the shard up over the Dark Crystal, a magical purple crystal in the decaying castle, as the light from the three suns beamed down onto the crystal; he plunged the shard into the Dark Crystal, after which he was thrown to the ground by a resonating blast from the crystal; the wicked Skeksis and peaceful Mystics were transformed into urSkeks once again in the light of the white Crystal; and Kira (being held in Jen's arms) was restored to life when the urSkek leader raised her, in the film's final lines: ("And now the prophecy is fulfilled. We are again one. Many ages ago, in our arrogance and delusion, we shattered the pure crystal. And our world split apart. Your courage and sacrifice have made us whole and restored the true power of the Crystal. Hold her to you. She is part of you, as we all are part of each other. (Kira revives after being healed) Now we leave you the crystal of truth. Make your world in its light"); the urSkek were transformed into beams of light and energy which flowed through the Crystal and out into another world - now a lush landscape paradise
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)	The overwrought death scene of the stranded, odd-looking alien E.T. (voice of Pat Welsh), witnessed by a heart-broken 10-year old Elliott (Henry Thomas) next to him - Both Elliott and E.T. were stretched out on long tables alongside each other within a quarantined and plastic-enclosed room in his house. The two were connected to life-support equipment that registered similar graphing results. Elliott protested: "You have no right to do this. You're scaring him. You're scaring him! Leave him alone. Leave him alone, I can take care of him." As E.T. began to approach death, his blood pressure sank, while Elliott's condition stabilized. Elliott held out his hand to E.T., tearfully asking him to stay connected: "E.T. Stay with me. Please...Together. I'll be right here. I'll be right here." E.T.'s life faded away. Elliott lost his telepathic connection to E.T. as he miraculously came back to full life: "The boy's coming back. We're losing E.T." The boy stretched his arms out to his dead friend, pleading for him to answer. A distraught Elliott screamed to E.T. as doctors and scientists rushed en masse to E.T.'s bedside and tore open the plastic coverings around him. Realizing that E.T. had no blood pressure, pulse or respiration, they made frantic efforts to revive the alien, administer CPR and other life supports - as Elliott reached out: " E.T. Don't go!...Leave him alone. You're killing him. Leave him alone." Tearful and sorrowful, Elliott kept a vigil next to E.T. and spoke lovingly to his dead, extra-terrestrial friend: "Look at what they've done to you. I'm so sorry. You must be dead, 'cause I don't know how to feel. I can't feel anything anymore. You've gone someplace else now. I'll believe in you all my life, every day. E.T. I love you."
The Plague Dogs (1982)	The very-unexpected shooting death of an uncharacteristically friendly hunter; when calling Snitter to come closer, the fox-terrier accidentally set off the man's hunting gun trigger and blew a shot-gun blast into his face; in the film's conclusion, the two hunted dogs swam out to sea - choosing to die rather than be captured
The Secret of NIMH (1982)	The scene of Jennar's (voice of Paul Shenar) death, first stabbed in the stomach by the heroic Justin (voice of Peter Strauss), then toppling off a cliff when struck in the back by a dagger thrown by Jennar's dying ex-henchman Sullivan (voice of Aldo Ray) whom Jennar had earlier slashed in the throat with his sword
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)	The dramatic death scene of Captain Spock (Leonard Nimoy), who had just sacrificed his life (after being exposed to radiation) to save the doomed starship U.S.S. Enterprise from a deadly explosion; before he went to his death, Spock transferred his katra -- his memories and experience -- to Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley) with the word "Remember"; he reassured Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner): "Ship out of danger? (Yes) Don't grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh (the needs of the few). Or the one. I never took the Kobayashi Maru test, until now. What do you think of my solution? (Spock knelt down) I have been, and always shall be, your friend. (Spock placed his hand on the chamber glass) Live long, and prosper"; Kirk placed his hand opposite Spock's hand as his friend slowly collapsed, slumped down and expired next to him; Kirk quietly said: "No" as Spock died; Kirk delivered a heartfelt eulogy for Spock at his funeral: "Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human"
