Christopher Lloyd (1938 - ) 

Film Deaths[]

  • The Lady in Red (1979) [Frognose] Shot in the chest by Rod Gist.
  • The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) [John Bigboote]: Shot in the chest by John Lithgow.
  • Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) [Commander Kruge]: Kicked into a river of molten lava by William Shatner as they dangle over a cliff.
  • Back to the Future (1985) [Dr. Emmett Brown]: In the original, Christopher is shot by a Libyan terrorist Richard L. Duran, but when Michael J. Fox returns to the present time at the end of the movie, it is revealed that Christopher was wearing a bullet-proof vest to protect himself from a note that Michael had written for him in the past to warn him of his impending death. (Due to the time-paradoxes in the script, it's open to interpretation whether or not Christopher had the bullet-proof vest on the whole time.)
  • Walk Like a Man (1987) [Reggie Shand/Henry Shand]: Playing a dual role, 'Henry' freezes in Alaska while on a camping trip with family while Howie Mandel was lost since he was a baby. ('Reggie' survives the film.)
  • Track 29 (1988) [Henry Henry]: Stabbed to death (off-screen) by Theresa Russell in the attic; we only see a bloodstain forming on the ceiling after Theresa leaves the house. Shortly beforehand, there is a scene of Christopher being stabbed repeatedly by Gary Oldman; however, since we hear Christopher's voice coming from upstairs after that scene, it's established that Gary is only a figment of Theresa's imagination, the on-screen stabbing is only Theresa's fantasy.
  • Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) [Judge Doom]: Melted in "dip" after revealing himself to be a toon and attempting to kill Bob Hoskins. (Played for comic effort)
  • Back to the Future Part II (1989) [Dr.Emmett Brown]: His original character "Emmett Brown" presumably dies off-screen, of old age/natural causes between the 1985 and 2015 time. Since there's no mention or indication of his future 2015 self. (I don't know if this 'll count but I'll just list it in case).
  • Back to the Future Part III (1990) [Dr. Emmett Brown] Shot in the back by Thomas F. Wilson after going back in time to the year 1885. Michael J. Fox learns of his death when he finds a gravestone with his name on it, but follows Christopher to the past and prevents his death.

  • Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1995) [Pieces]: Shot in the chest by Steve Buscemi in the projection booth.
  • Anastasia (1997; animated) [Rasputin]: Drowned when he falls into an icy lake while trying to kill the young Anastasia (voiced by Kirsten Dunst); he returns through supernatural means, and is finally destroyed when Anastasia (voiced by Meg Ryan) smashes the cylinder containing his soul causing him to decompose into a skeleton and crumble to dust. (All historically inaccurate as this is a fantasy cartoon film, IRL Rasputin was poisoned, shot and drowned.)
  • My Favorite Martian (1999) [Uncle Martin]: Dies of an allergic reaction to a tranquilizer dart (due to his alien physiology); after lying clinically dead for a while, he is brought back to life by his sentient spacesuit "zoot" (voice of Wayne Knight) when Jeff Daniels and Daryl Hannah bring it to him

His death is undone when Devon sacrifices himself in order to remove the curse from the town. (Played for comic effect.)
  • Foodfight (2012; animated) [Mr. Clipboard]: Providing the voice of a robot controlled by Lady X (Voiced by Eva Longoria) he is broken when Dex Dogtective (voiced by Charlie Sheen) and his friends trip him causing him to fall and break.
  • 88 (2015) [Cyrus]: Commits suicide by shooting himself in the mouth while Katharine Isabelle look in shock.
  • I Am Not a Serial Killer (2016) [Bill Crowley]: Dies after being drained of blood by Max Records, who straps him to a table and pumps embalming fluid through his veins.

In desperation they try another spell to bring him back in which Scott tears the head off the photograph of Christopher that was to go into the cauldron.
