Film Deaths[]
- Vampire Circus (1972) [Emil]: To be added
- Voyage of the Damned (1976) [Seaman Berg]: Beaten to death, then thrown overboard, by a group of Nazi-sympathizer crewmen after Anthony stands up to Helmut Griem. We only see the start of the beating, followed a few scenes later by a distant shot of his body going overboard.
- Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) [Maj. Gobler]: Dies (along with two other German soldiers) when the truck driven by Harrison Ford rams his car, sending it flying off a cliff.
- The Draughtsman's Contract (1982) [Mr. Neville]: Beaten to death by a group of noblemen in the garden at night.
- Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) [Professor Rathe/Ehtar/Moriarty]: Apparently falls into frozen river and either drowns or freezes to death during a struggle with Nicholas Rowe. While the end credits stinger reveals Anthony survived and has now adopted the identity of "Moriarty", this is treated as an outright death scene and also would've gone unnoticed by those who hadn't seen the stinger as well.
- Nostradamus (1994) [King Henry II]: Stabbed in the face with a lance during a joust. (Anthony's face is completely covered by his helmet during this scene.)
