Death Machine  (1995)
Nomination Year: 2005
SYNOPSIS: Stop me if you've heard this one before. In the future, the Chaank Corporation is one of America's biggest arms manufacturers. But it has a reputation for engaging in illegal research programs. To clean up its reputation, it hires new CEO Hayden Kale. Kale's mission is to expose and shut down Chaank's worst projects. But when she fires weapons research director Jack Dante, he takes revenge by unleashing an unstoppable killing machine in corporate HQ. Now, Kale, her security chief, and three Human First terrorists who were trapped in the building with them must outwit Dante and escape the Death Machine. And, unlike with certain experimental weapons systems that might rampage through your corporate headquarters, it's going to take more than water to stop the Death Machine!

Guy turns around, hits his head on the overhang, and lands on grating on the floor, where the monster gets him. The monster had nothing to do with the initial injury, as I'm sure his lawyer would claim.
