In the spirit of our throwing knives giveaway, we turn to the big screen for some awesome Hollywood scenes featuring the greatest and most badass fictional knife throwers. There’s nothing scientific about this selection, but the one criteria is the video must feature some flying knives. Here are four awesome knife throwing scenes.

4. The Expendables (2010)

The surprise star of this film featuring an unbeatable cast of all-stars was relative newcomer Jason Statham. He plays the incorrigible Lee Christmas who’s an expert in close-quarters combat, as demonstrated in this scene.

3. Kung Fu Hustle (2004)

The appeal of this knife throwing scene from the comedy action film comes from the utter incompetence of these two supposed troublemakers. From their form to their motion, this is the perfect example of how not to throw a knife.

2. Gangs of New York (2002)

When the image of a knife thrower enters your head, you probably think of those old performers who would throw them at their assistants. In this scene, the “Butcher” played by Daniel Day Lewis demonstrates his knife throwing prowess against former flame Jenny played by Cameron Diaz.

1. V For Vendetta (2006)

You know a character is truly badass when he could take a barrage of hundreds of bullets yet still skillfully destroy his enemies with some amazing knife throwing expertise.
