Film Deaths[]

  • One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) [Billy Bibbit]: Commits suicide (off-screen) by slashing his own throat after being humiliated by Louise Fletcher and breaking away from the orderlies. His body is shown lying on the floor afterwards when all the patients come running after hearing the commotion.
  • The Eyes of Laura Mars (1978) [Tommy Ludlow]: Shot to death by Frank Adonis (having been presumably set up by Tommy Lee Jones) while trying to run.

  • Impure Thoughts (1985) [Kevin Harrington]: Dies of a heart attack while playing football.
  • Blue Velvet (1986) [Raymond]: Shot to death (off-screen) when the police attack Dennis Hopper's hideout. We simply see shots firing from a window by the gang, and the firing stop after the police barrage the building with gunfire. 
  • Fatal Beauty (1987) [Leo Nova]: Shot in the throat sending him fall back onto a car (going through the windscreen in the process) by Whoopi Goldberg.
  • Child's Play (1988) [Charles Lee Ray/Chucky]: Mortally wounded in a shoot-out with Chris Sarandon in a toy store. He manages to transfer his soul into a doll before dying via voodoo ritual. In the end, the doll is stopped when Chris shoots it in the heart (as he's becoming human) while Catherine Hicks, Alex Vincent and Tommy Swerdlow look on. He is brought back to life after the doll skeleton is repaired as a new doll in Child's Play 2. (He only provides the voice of the doll in the following sequels.)
  • Child's Play 2 (1990) [Chucky]: Head explodes when Christine Elise puts a pressure hose into his mouth in the toy factory, in addition to being splattered with wax by Alex Vincent. He comes back to life after his blood drips into a vat of plastic that is used to make a new doll in Child's Play 3.
  • The Exorcist III (1990) [The Gemini Killer]: Executed on the electric chair (off-screen) years before the events of the film. His spirit then possesses the recently deceased body of Jason Miller and is killed again when George C. Scott shoots Miller as a mercy kill (Note: Since Kinderman kills both Patient X/Karras & The Gemini Killer, both of them should receive credit for the death. Also, in the director's cut edition, Miller is completely cut and an picture is seen of Dourif as Karras, indicating he was originally both characters before reshoots were done to add Miller as Karras).
  • Graveyard Shift (1990) [Tucker Cleveland / The Exterminator]: Crushed to death when a stone coffin slides into his skull and crushes him in the rats' lair.
