Deaths in Film

• Mystery Men (1999) [Captain Amazing a.k.a. Lance Hunt]: Simultaneously burned to death and distorted beyond recognition by Geoffrey Rush's death-ray, when Hank Azaria and Janeane Garofalo accidentally activate it while trying to rescue Greg (with his body an obvious special effects dummy is later seen when Geoffrey and his cohorts discover him).

• Auto Focus (2002) [Bob Crane]: Bludgeoned to death with a tripod by an intruder (presumably Willem Dafoe, though no one was ever convicted in the real-life case) in Greg's bedroom. (Thanks to Tony and JF)

• Godsend (2004) (Adam)  [Paul Duncan]: Although he survives in the actual movie, the US DVD includes an alternate ending in which he is burned to death after Robert De Niro sets fire to the church. (Thanks to Liz)

• Unknown (2006) [Broken Nose]: Shot in the chest and throat/head by Peter Stormare or one of his cohorts.
• Ghost Town (2008) [Frank Herlihy]: Hit by a bus, after narrowly escaping being hit by a falling air conditioning unit; he appears as a ghost seen by Ricky Gervais throughout the rest of the movie.

• The Last Song (2010) [Steve Miller]: Dies of cancer (off-screen) in his home; his body is shown afterwards when his daughter (Miley Cyrus) discovers him (as she comes to tell him she finished their composition). It's implied he appears as a ghost/angel to her and his son (Bobby Coleman) during his funeral.
