I just watched the last three or four minutes of a truly awesome horror movie, which thanks to IMDB and the internet in my Anaheim hotel room I have identified as The Hills Have Eyes II. As I type this I am listening to the late eighties cock rock style theme song. It also is awesome.
I’ll try to run down the last few minutes as I just watched them. Spoilers ahead! [added for Richard --jim]
A giant mutant dude with misshapen leather clothing is in a barn haranguing three people in military garb, two hot chicks and a dude. He’s got hot chick number one by the belt and he’s slamming her into the ground over and over again. I think he actually says “Bitch!” during this.
Meanwhile hot chick #2 is fumbling with an AR-15 rifle, trying to insert a single round into it via the breech, when she should know as a military person that she should press it into the magazine and then load it into the rifle as normal.
Hot Chick 1 (HC1) now appears to be knocked out, but HC2 brings up the rifle and delivers a .223 round to mister mutant’s head. He pauses to reflect on matters. We see part of his brain has splattered onto a barn post. Another piece is on his boot, and he wiggles his toes inside his boot.
But he’s not to be stopped. Hero Dude rises into frame from nowhere and is tossed aside like a small bag of wet turds by Mutant, who is determined to put the hurt on HC2. He grabs her and strangles her against a wall! Her boots dangle uselessly only feet form his.. crotch. Do mutants not have balls? Who knows.
Anyway Hero Dude regains consciousness and grabs a handy nearby barn javelin and runs mutant dude through, but the mutant only screams. Now HC2 puts her fingers into the wound in mutant dude’s head and pokes her fingers into his brain. Some pieces come out. This causes him to fall over.
…but he’s not dead. He has one of the hot chicks by the pantleg! Oh no!
Thankfully Hero Dude is there with the rifle which has a bayonet attached. He plunges it into Mutant Dude’s open mouth, and this apparently… finally… kills Mutant Dude for good.
Which is best, really. He was kind of a prick.

Jim, I just had to write, I am so excited: I had just poured myself a final whisky and was channel-hopping, when I saw that ‘The Hills of Eyes II’ was on telly with just 10 minutes to go. Despite already knowing the ending [how about a 'spoiler alert' next time, dude?], I simply had to watch it. It was every bit as awesome as you described.
And, yes, the mutant actually does say ‘bitch’.
Thanks for the heads-up.
