John Colicos in The Postman Always Rings Twice

John Colicos (1928 - 2000)

Film Deaths:

  • Scorpio (1973) [McLeod]: Shot in the chest by Burt Lancaster. (Thanks to Michael)
  • Drum (1976) [Bernard DeMarigny]: Dies of shock/blood loss when Ken Norton rips off his testicles; we only see John's face screaming during the castration. (Thanks to Bill)
  • The Changeling (1980) [De Witt]: Killed in a car crash, seen in a psychic vision. (Thanks to Fred)
  • The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981) [Nick Papadakis]: Hit on the head with a tire iron by Jack Nicholson while sitting in his car; Jack and Jessica Lange then arrange it so that his death looks like a car accident. (See also Cecil Kellaway in the 1946 version.)
  • Nowhere to Hide (1987) [General Howard]: Presumably killed in an explosion when Amy Madigan shoots his getaway car with a rocket or missile fired from a stolen makeshift gunship at the end of a chase (in revenge for John causing her husband's death) (it's been awhile since I last saw this)
