- 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.)

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.

(All historically inaccurate as this is a fantasy cartoon film, IRL Rasputin was poisoned, shot and drowned.)

His death is undone when Devon sacrifices himself in order to remove the curse from the town. (Played for comic effect.)
