Lucy Liu in The Man with the Iron Fists
Lucy Liu (1968 -)
Film Deaths[]
- Gridlock'd (1997) [Cee-Cee]: Shot repeatedly (off-screen), along with Bokeem Woodbine, by Vondie Curtis-Hall and Tom Towles, who make it look like a burglary gone bad. Her death is implied when Tim Roth and Tupac Shakur discover Bokeem's body in the apartment, and is confirmed when Tim and Tupac see a TV news report that her body was found in a closet. (Her character is pregnant at the time).
- Love Kills (1998) [Kashi]: Shot in the chest by Lesley Ann Warren, after Lucy pulls her own gun on Lesley.
- Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) [O-Ren Ishii a.k.a. Cottonmouth]: Gets the top of her head cut off in a swordfight with a katana by Uma Thurman in the snow outside the House of Blue Leaves.
- Lucky Number Slevin (2006) [Lindsey]: Although she survives the actual movie, the US DVD includes an alternate ending in which she is shot in the chest by Josh Hartnett in the morgue. (In the actual movie, there is an almost-identical scene, except that the shooter is Bruce Willis and the shooting turns out to be faked.)
- Rise: Blood Hunter (Rise) (2007) [Sadie Blake]: Throat slit and drained of blood by James D'Arcy and Carla Gugino; she later comes back to life as a vampire (waking up in the morgue) and dies once again when Michael Chiklis stabs her in the chest with a wooden crossbow bolt at her own request. The camera cuts away just before impact. The final scene, showing her morgue drawer opening, indicates that she may have come back to life yet again.
- The Man with the Iron Fists (2012) [Madam Blossom]: Stabbed in the back when Cung Le throws a bladed fan at her (as she sacrifices herself to shield a child).
- Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) [Kalypso]: Destroyed by lighting summoned by Zachary Levi.
Television Deaths[]
- Futurama: I Dated a Robot (2001; animated) [Lucy Liu/Lucy Liubots]: Providing the voice of several "Lucy Liubots" as well as her own disembodied living head, most of the "Liubots" are destroyed when they are filled with popcorn and heated up, causing them to explode; the remaining "Liubot" has its programming wiped out. One of the "Liubots" is destroyed earlier when it gets stuck on a fire hydrant and Bender (John DiMaggio) turns it on, causing it to fill with water and explode. (The "real" Lucy survives the episode.) (Played for comic effect, obviously). (Thanks to Tommy)
- Star Wars: Visions: The Duel (2022; anime) [Bandit Leader]: Stabbed from behind by Brian Tee's Lightsaber.
