Having Actors Die the Same Way in Every Film

[Blumf]

In the Goodfellas thread...

Spoiler for a 22 year old film!!

you can't keep having Pesci rocking up to a mob boss's house thinking he's going to be made, and then getting killed, in every film you make, as amusing as that sounds.

Every film, Joe Pesci's character dies in that exact same context:

Casino, sure

Home Alone, obviously.

All the Lethal Weapon films, especially the first one where Pesci's Leo Getz character wasn't even in it. Just a scene dropped into the middle of the film where he's all "Oh boy, I'm going to be a made man"

My Cousin Vinny, after successfully winning the trial, Vinny gets invited to a quiet suburban house to be 'rewarded' for his skills as a lawyer.

Gone Fishin', if anybody had ever watched it, they would have seen Joe's character getting dealt with as only a veteran mob assassin knows how.


What other actors should constantly die in the same iconic way as one of their characters did? And, are there any example of somebody playing the same death in three or more roles?

I actually preferred his death in casino, being battered to death by Billy's bats (not to be confused with 70s 'exciting soccer action' mainstay, Billy's Boots).

Although that would be great in itself "too bad for you muthafuckin cocksucker that my muthafuckin Nan didn't throw out my muthafuckin boots by mistake this muthafuckin time cocksucker"

[Sebastian Cobb]

I was going to say 'Kris Lord should die by hovercraft in everything he's in' but it turns out that's his only acting credit.

I can only assume Jackie Chan killed him and Rumble in the Bronx is a snuff movie, who knew?

Ali Macgraw (who is surprisingly still alive and equally as surprisingly didn't star opposite Rock Hudson in McMillan & Wife, that was Ali lookalike Sudan St James) could have died a tragic, lingering, strings packed soundtracked, death in all her movies, even the comedies.

Ricardo Montalbán, steamrollered and walked-over by a marching band playing 'Louis Louis'.

"KHAAAAN!!"

"It's horrible, Jim... my father went the same way."

Alec Guinness has been in some wonderful films, but they all would have been a bit better if at the end Darth Vader showed up and chopped him in half.

Eddie Valiant getting into a toon cab at the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and being driven off to be shot by the IRA. "Th-th-th-that's all, folks!" says Porky Pig.

Every Gwyneth Paltrow film ends with her love interest/ally/family member receiving her head in a box and she still has a recurring role in the Marvel cinematic universe.

Every Start Trek film, Captain Kirk gets a bridge dropped on him.

Doc Brown melted to death at the end of all three Back to the Future films

President Harrison Ford in Air Force One manages to get all the terrorists or whatever they were off his plane, only for his son to parachute on board and stab him in-front of some people he's only just met.

Antonius Block concedes the chess game and then War Rocket Ajax flies in and stabs him through the back so the tip sticks out of his chest.

Father Merrin is killed when War Rocket Ajax flies in and stabs him through the back so the tip sticks out of his chest.

Jesus is about to ascend to heaven when War Rocket Ajax flies in and stabs him through the back so the tip sticks out of his chest.

You get the idea with that.

Every Start Trek film, Captain Kirk gets a bridge dropped on him.

Does that happen in Star Trek: Generations? Or is there a some other Shat movie where he gets flattened by a bridge?

Bob Hoskins' wryly amused, devastated, resigned (fuck it make your own list) face at the end of TLGF in every film, even the Mario one.

David Warner finishes every film as normal but is instantly decapitated by a sheet of glass.

Over his career the lines between reality and fiction start blurring and his characters become aware of their fate; start looking nervous and flubbing their final lines, stalling for more time, but it's all for naught David. The glazier's truck is already on its way.

[Mister Six]

Every episode of The Detectives concludes with Jasper Carrott nailing Robert Powell to a cross and leaving him to die in the Birmingham sun.

Bob Peck gets eaten by a velociraptor while sniffing his daughter's dildo. "Clever girl."

[Ron Maels Moustache]

Every Patrick Troughton Dr Who episode ends with the Doctor being kebabbed by a falling church spire, leading to audience survey complaints of the show becoming somewhat tired and repetitive and "should be rested".

That made me chuckle.  :)
