Film Deaths
- The Terminator (1984) [The Terminator]: Destroyed when Linda Hamilton crushes him in an industrial press in an empty factory. (At this point, he is in his robot-skeleton form.)
- The Running Man (1987) [Ben Richards]: Impaled on a spiked wall at the end of a fight with Jesse Ventura (This turns out to be a completely different anonymous character who had been digitally "disguised" as Arnold for the TV show, but since it was still Arnold on-screen during the death scene, I might as well count it...)
- Total Recall (1990) [Douglas Quaid / Hauser]: Playing a dual role as two personalities of the same man, "Douglas Quaid" suffocates to death on Mars after his spacesuit-helmet breaks in what turns out to be a nightmare. "Douglas" survives the movie in reality. Additionally, his "Hauser" personality ceases to be when he chooses to be good. (It's debatable whether this counts as a death, but it's listed just in case.)
- Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) [The Terminator]: Sacrifices himself by having Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong lower him down into an iron foundry and being melted so that the futuristic technology of his android body won't be misused.
- End of Days (1999) [Jericho Cane]: Commits suicide (after being possessed by Satan and struggling to fight his influence) by impaling himself on the sword of an angel statue in a church.
- Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) [The Terminator]: Destroyed in an explosion after he places a bomb in Kristanna Loken's mouth to destroy them both.
- Sabotage (2014) [John "Breacher" Wharton]: Possibly mortally wounded after being shot in the chest during a shootout; the movie ends with Arnold sipping on a drink and smoking a cigar as police sirens can be heard in the background, leaving his fate ambiguous. (The Blu-ray also includes an alternate ending where Arnold is shot repeatedly by Olivia Williams)
Television Deaths
- Tales From The Crypt: The Switch (1990) [X-Con]: Killed by The Cryptkeeper (John Kassir) offscreen to harvest his body parts.
