So I just got through watching Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), awesome awesome movie by the way, but there's a scene early on where this little girl, maybe 10 years old, gets shot point blank in the chest by a gang member, blood spray and the whole works. The movie has a couple scenes with her talking with her dad and buying ice cream from an ice cream truck, showing her innocence and all that. Then BLAM! It blows the fuck out of her right in front of you.

I understand the point - to make you hate the gang and know how heartless and cruel they are - but, well... damn!

Have you seen any other movies that kill off a kid? Also, do they kill a little girl in the 2005 remake of this movie?

EDIT: Thanks, Pheonix. Here's the scene:

Funny you brought this up. I was just talking to a girl a few hours ago that told me she saw a movie that really haunted her. It was called A Good Lawyers Wife.

At the end of the movie, the killer just drags his child hostage to the top of a building while the kid is crying and begging and just throws the kid off the building and the kid falls to his death.

The one I think about first is from Full Metal Alchemist the Anime. Probably because in typical Shonen Animes, children usually are exempt from being killed. Kids aren't supposed to die in these!

Some poor girl gets transmuted into a dog and then dog exploded to death.

The MPAA threatened an "X" rating if the shocking "ice cream scene" wasn't cut. The distributor advised John Carpenter to give the MPAA a version with the scene excised to get an "R" rating, and then simply distribute the original version complete with the scene. The ruse worked.

A kid gets chomped down in the first Jaws movie.

And outside the realm of movies, The Fallout games are the only ones I can recall where you can actually kill child NPCs.

There are not enough children dying on screen. Almos everytime it should happen at best it happens in the off and it's totally stupid. If you as a filmmaker want me to think "Oh how hrrible what they are doing to the kids!" you should have the guts to show it.

I thought the little boy being mauled to death in Exorcist: The Beginning was pretty graphic and horrific. Hearing him scream bloody murder and cry out in pain as you see the wolves tear him apart right in front of the others was pretty messed up. I would never watch that scene again.

Cidade de Deus (City of God)

really gruesome scene
a young member of a gang has to shoot a little kid to prove he's worth being in the gang. First the leader shoots the kids in the foot, then the other one has to finish one off.

In one of the best and most underrated war films, Harrison's Flowers, a young girl gets raped and killed by soldiers.

what gives that scene more impact is that the acting in that movie is so great you feel you're watching a documentary.

Watched it recently, and he is killed on screen. Wouldn't say it's as graphic as a child being killed.

What about Pet Cemetery? Isn't there a scene where at the funeral the coffin falls and part of the boys body flops out? (I think thats the movie?)

I can't remember, but in Leon/The Professional, does Matilda's brother die off-screen or on? I don't think you see the actual bullets hit him, but don't you see the body hit the floor?

I think he dies off-screen, but I'm not positive.

But speaking of that movie, that scene where everyone is getting shot really scarred me. I remember seeing it when I was younger and was just extremely disturbed by it all.

I want to say that Death Race 2000 featured a mother and child getting beheaded.
I have very hazy memories of the crappy movie.

Oh my god. How did I forget this one? I just saw it a couple months ago. Fantastic movie.

But yes, it happens right there
at the end. Brutal and with great impact. And it was bad because you kind of thought she would get away for a moment there.

Murder Set Pieces (tame)
Lord of Illusions (aftermath)
City of the Living Dead (pretty sure the kid dies at the end)
Planet Terror (off screen/aftermath)
Pet Semetary (implied + shoe)
Terror Firmer (fetus stealing)
My Girl (the beez!)

Didn't a couple of kids bite it in Mimic? I vaguely remember being surprised because you rarely see it happen in films.
