- Scary Movie (2000) [Shorty Meeks]: Shot in the chest by Jon Abrahams; marijuana smoke emerges from the wound before he dies. (Played for comic effect, obviously.) He was brought back without explanation in the 2001 sequel Scary Movie 2.

- The Ladykillers (2004) [Gawain MacSam]: Accidentally shot when his own gun goes off during a struggle with J.K. Simmons (his body is later seen as Tom Hanks and the other gang members drop him off a bridge onto a garbage barge).
- G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) [Ripcord]: Killed along with many of the other original G.I. Joes in an airstrike ordered by Arnold Vosloo after he disguises himself as the President (Jonathan Pryce). He does not actually appears in this film but his character's death is mentioned.
