Film Deaths[]
- The Dead Pool (1988) [Johnny Squares]: Dies of a drug overdose when David Hunt forces a pill into his mouth in Jim's trailer; his body is shown again while Clint Eastwood and Evan C. Kim investigate.

Although his body is shown at his funeral, the film leaves his death ambiguous, with an appearance of one of Andy Kaufman's characters on stage a year after his death, with the film confirming that he is not being portrayed by Paul Giamatti, who often doubled for Jim. This is accurate to rumours about the real life Andy Kaufman faking his death.
- Bruce Almighty (2003) [Bruce Nolan]: Hit by a truck on the highway; the scene cuts to black at the sound of the impact, followed by a scene of Jim finding himself in Heaven and speaking with God (Morgan Freeman). Morgan then sends Jim back to life, and the scene cuts to paramedics resuscitating him.

His death is later undone when Scrooge changes his ways.
- Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013) [CBC News Anchor Scott Riles]: Poisoned, along with Marion Cotillard and the rest of his newsteam, when Paul Rudd uses his "Sex Panther" perfume bomb during the big newscaster battle. (Played for comedic effect.)

The film cuts away as Olga snaps Jim's neck, with his death being confirmed in a news report Chloe Grace Moretz is watching.
