There's no question that I'm reading a lot into the scene, but I think the director's implication is pretty blatant: as he's being shot, he becomes aroused at the memory of Ursula, and appears to get more aroused at each succeeding bullet impact in his belly, of which there are six or seven, fired slowly, one at a time, until finally, his back arched, he goes through a series of orgasmic facial expressions. To top it off, just as he collapses, there's an explosion nearby! A symbolic orgasm courtesy of the film and sound editors!
I have a straight friend who I have recently been sharing cool death scenes with, under the pretext mostly of discussing the moviemaking aspects of staging and special effects, but he's aware enough to recognize an orgasm at the point of death, which you see a lot especially in Shaw Bros. martial arts films (how many of those have we seen where a barechested guy gets it in the belly and writhes around moaning until his back suddenly arches, all his muscles flex and his whole body freezes, then collapses with a death orgasm moan?
Well I showed him this scene. While it was going on he said "Wow, he's really taking it in the guts, huh?" At the end, without a bit of prodding from me, he stroked his dick through his pants and blurted out "well, he fucking jizzed all over his belly as he died!" and laughed. So I don't think it's much of a stretch.
Of course I always have to add my "color commentary". I'm the Howard Cosell of hot death scenes!
