Movies that feature the "delayed body slice" effect
I'm not exactly what the term for this effect is, but I'm sure you've seen it. A person is cut with an ultra sharp object, looks normal for a few moments, and then falls apart into 2 or more pieces. 99% of the time the effect comes off as looking very cheesy.
Here are the movies I can remember off the top of my head (MILD SPOILERS):
Equilibrium (face sliced off with sword)
Final Destination 2 (barbed wire)
Resident Evil (laser grid)
Johnny Mnemonic (laser whip)
No Escape ("Now that's funny!")
Interview with the Vampire (I think I remember a scythe?)
Cube (I think, it's been a while)
Any others?

I've always liked this effect, and it's been around for quite a while. It seems like after Ghost Ship it's being done more and more though.

Second for thinking the Ghost Ship scene as disturbing but very well done.
I think the Resident Evil scene was also very effective.

Blade II -
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust - Meyer Link is sliced down the middle. He falls to the floor and one part slides a bit. Then he pulls himself back together!
Happens a lot with vampires, I see. Garlic, Stakes, daylight, delayed body slice effects.
