- 300 (2006) [King Leonidas]: Shot to death with a barrage of arrows in a battle with the Persian army. The scene goes to black as the arrows descend; his body is shown lying on the battlefield afterwards (his death is briefly shown in 300: Rise of an Empire, while his body is later seen as Rodrigo Santoro uses a battle axe to decapitate his body to claim his head as a trophy).
- P.S. I Love You (2007) [Gerry]: Dies (off-screen) of a brain tumor.
- Law Abiding Citizen (2009) [Clyde Shelton]: Killed in an explosion after Jamie Foxx plants Gerard's own bomb under the bed in Gerard's cell (with Jamie handcuffing the briefcase, so Gerard can't defuse it).
- Watchmen: Tales from the Black Freighter (2009; animated) [The Mariner]: Possibly killed (off-screen) by the Black Freighter crew; the film ends with the crewmen surrounding Gerard as the Freighter captain pulls out his sword, so his fate is implied but not confirmed.
- Movie 43 (2013) [Leprechaun #1/Leprechaun #2]: Playing two Leprechaun characters (through CGI head grafting), both are shot to death by Johnny Knoxville as he's trying to save Seann William Scott. (Played for comic effect)
- How To Train Your Dragon 2 (2014; animated) [Stoick the Vast]: Shot with a plasma blast by Toothless the Dragon (under the mind control of Drago Bludvist, voiced by Djimon Hounsou) as he pushes his son Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) out of the way of the blast; his body is seen again as it is cast out to sea for a Viking funeral (with Hiccup, Valka (Cate Blanchett), Astrid (America Ferrera)) and the others then set it on fire with burning arrows).
- Gods Of Egypt (2016) [Set]: Stabbed to death with a golden spear by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, causing his body to explode. (Mythologically inaccurate: Set was killed and dismembered by Horus and his body parts were thrown into the Nile. He was later revived to serve as the ferryman of Ra's barque.)
- The Vanishing (Keepers) (2018) [James]: Drowned by Peter Mullan at his own request.
