Yet another Movie Thread

[Nokori 3byo]

OK, given the recent, wild popularity of movie-themed threads, I thought I'd pick up on a theme alluded in an earlier thread and run with it:

Basically, I'll start by naming an actor. Then someone will respond by naming one or more films in which that actor dies and follow up with the name of another actor.

For example:

(original post)

"Jackie Chan"

(response)

"Enter the Dragon"

"Steven Seagal"

(next response)

"Executive Decision"

"Bill Cosby"

(etc etc)

Got it?

Right then, let's start with:

Clint Eastwood

[The great I AM]

Dirty Harry

Lee Ermy

[Nokori 3byo]

Dirty Harry

Lee Ermy

Full Metal Jacket.

But...Clint Eastwood didn't die in Dirty Harry.

[The great I AM]

Full Metal Jacket.

But...Clint Eastwood didn't die in Dirty Harry.My bad, I didn't read the thing properly, no wonder I thought it was a gash idea and a bit easy......let me think......does he die in The Unforgiven

[Nokori 3byo]

My bad, I didn't read the thing properly, no wonder I thought it was a gash idea and a bit easy......let me think......does he die in The Unforgiven

Nope. I know of one movie. Set in the American Civil War and starring Clint as a deserter from the Union army who gets duped into eating some poisoned mushrooms...

Ah, but Lee Ermy does die in FMJ, so you were on the right track with that one.

[The great I AM]

Haven't a clue. Meng, help me out here. I'll get back to you...

[BrotherOfLounge]

Bill Cosby

Dan Akroyd

Drew Barrymore

[Nokori 3byo]

50 first dates


Drew Barrymore

Eh? Dan Akroyd dies in 50 First Dates?

I'm beginning to suspect that people aren't reading the thread instructions.

[Nokori 3byo]

Oh wait, he is in that movie. My bad.

Drew Barrymore dies in Poison Ivy.

Jean-Claude Van Damme

[Rookie M]

Universal Soldier

James Stewart

[yoda-waza]

Eh? Dan Akroyd dies in 50 First Dates?

I'm beginning to suspect that people aren't reading the thread instructions.

I read 'em closely but can't think of many movies that claimed an actor's life except for maybe "The Crow" when Brandon Lee died during film production. Amazingly his character lived on to finish the film, so does that even count? A lot of characters kick the bucket in films, though. I take it that is what you meant by your instructions?

[Nokori 3byo]

James Stewart dies in The Glenn Miller Story.

Bill Murray

[Nokori 3byo]

I read 'em closely but can't think of many movies that claimed an actor's life except for maybe the "The Crow" when Brandon Lee died during film production. Amazingly his character lived on to finish the film so does that count? A lot of characters kick the bucket in films, though. I take it that is what you meant by your instructions?

Yes, That's what I meant.

However, a number of actors have died during the filming of movies, including Vic Morrow who was beheaded by chopper blades in "The Twilight Zone" and that poor woman who was painted gold for "Goldfinger" (that's her dead body in the film!)

But no, I simply meant "actors who played dying roles in a given film."

[abryson]

Scrooge??

Sigourney Weaver

[dimfeld]

and that poor woman who was painted gold for "Goldfinger" (that's her dead body in the film!)


Actually, the girl in Goldfinger didn't die (http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/goldfing.htm).

[Nokori 3byo]

Actually, the girl in Goldfinger didn't die (http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/goldfing.htm).

I stand corrected. Chalk another one up for urban legend.

[Anjin-san]

Alien 3

Pat Morita

[Nokori 3byo]

Alien 3

Pat Morita

Having a tough time with this one...

Midway, maybe? As a Japanese sailor who went down with one of the four aircraft carriers?

[Il Bagatto]

I don't know if Pat Morita character really dies in Midway...

Anyway...

Shadow fury!

Sho Kosugi?

[Nokori 3byo]

Sho Kosugi?

Well, let's see, he plays the bad guy in "Enter the Ninja" (not to be confused with "Revenge of the Ninja" in which he's the good guy).

Haven't see it since I was 11, but I'd say it's probably a pretty safe bet that he dies in that one, as bad guys in ninja films don't have a terrifically long shelf life.

(Incidentally, Clint dies in "The Beguiled," Bill Murray dies in "Groundhog's Day"--many times).

O.K. Here's a tougher one:

Christopher Reeve

[Hoogoos]

Superman 3 (Good Clark Kent kills BAD Superman)

Mark Hamill

[KhawMengLee]

Superman 3 (Good Clark Kent kills BAD Superman)

Mark Hamill

Village of the Damned

Bruce "The King" Campbell

[Il Bagatto]

From Dusk Till Dawn 2. But there also is "Army of Darkness" (good Ash kills is bad "clone").

Now, an hard one (but easy if you like really good italian films):

Aldo Fabrizi

[KhawMengLee]

From Dusk Till Dawn 2. But there also is "Army of Darkness" (good Ash kills is bad "clone").

Aldo Fabrizi

Roma, città aperta

Shintaro Katsu

[The great I AM]

(Incidentally, Clint dies in "The Beguiled," Bill Murray dies in "Groundhog's Day"--many times).
I call foul here, because Bill Murray's character in ground hog day CAN'T DIE, thats why he is still alive, and I even think that one of his lines in the film is "I can't die!"

[Nokori 3byo]

I call foul here, because Bill Murray's character in ground hog day CAN'T DIE, thats why he is still alive, and I even think that one of his lines in the film is "I can't die!"

Debatable...notice how his "death" by suicide ends the day each time he does it. Arguably, he dies and is reincarnated, making death in the familiar sense impossible. BTW, he also speaks the line "I've died so many times..." to Andy Summers during a sombre cafe dialogue toward the end of the film.

Nevertheless, Bill plays Polonius in a semi-recent big screen adaptation of Hamlet. Haven't seen it, but barring a major textual deviation, he must die in that.

JB dies in Fealress? That's not the way I remember it.


Yeah, he eat the strawberry, goes towards the light, and his wife brings him back. That's how he returned to normal.

I think WB is machine gunned todeath in Bonnie and Clyde so it's probably Bugsy. I think he is shot to death in Bullworth too, but I don't remember what kind of gun.

[Nokori 3byo]

Is it Bugsy or Bonnie and Clyde?

Nope. Nope. Nor is it Bullworth.

Actually, I now realise it was kind of wrong of me to ask this question, since to answer it would be to give a spoiler for a very good suspense movie which few people have apparently seen.

Right then, I retract that one and replace it with:

And the film wasn't without its redeeming qualities. That scene where he has sex with the girl in the pool is hillarious. It reminds me of something from one of the Naked Gun movies.
