The Last Thing You Ever See

Standard threat from villains (and occasionally heroes): "The last thing you ever see will be my X", where X is generally either some variety of weapon or simply "face". Perilously close to being discredited these days, unless it's about to get subverted somehow.

When combined with Exact Words, expect someone to lose their eyes, but probably not their life. Is a mildly more sedate version of I'll Kill You!.

He tells him to close his eyes so that his face won't be the last thing the guy will ever see, because (switching to Spanish) "Heaven may hold it against you".
