• Wild at Heart (1990) [Dell]: Possibly dies (off-screen); it's mentioned that he disappeared without a trace, but his actual fate is unconfirmed. (Thanks to Lew)

• Charlie's Angels (2000) [The Thin Man]: Likely killed in an explosion when Sam Rockwell fires a rocket at their mansion, the angels jump to safety as the building blows up. (note: they did intend this to be an actual death scene, before they decided to bring him back (without explanation) in the sequel).

• Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) [The Thin Man]: Stabbed in the chest with his own sword by Justin Theroux on a rooftop; he then falls from the roof as Drew Barrymore looks on helplessly. (The US Unrated DVD includes an extended version of the scene, in which he survives the stabbing and fall, but is then crushed to death by a falling sign by preventing Justin Theroux's character attempt to avoid said falling sign.) (Thanks to Germboygel and Mathew)

• Willard (2003) [Willard Stiles]: Although he survives in the finished film, the US DVD includes the original alternate ending in which he is devoured by the rats. (See also Bruce Davison's death in the 1971 version). (Thanks to Lew)

• What Is It? (2005) [Dueling Demi-God Auteur, The Young Man's Inner Psyche and Id]: Strangled by Steven C. Stewart on Crispin's throne in a graveyard.

• Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016) [Knave of Heart]: Although he doesn't appear in this film, Crispin's character from the previous film's skeleton with a dagger through his chest is seen when Sacha Baron Cohen sits next to it, implying that he was stabbed (off screen) by Helena Bonham Carter in between movies.
