Film Deaths[]
- Predstava Hamleta u Mrdusi Donjoj (Acting Hamlet in the Village of Mrdusa Donja) (1974) [Joco/Hamlet]: Stabbed with a poison blade during a swordfight in the play-within-the-film. (I haven't seen this, so I don't know whether Hamlet's death scene is shown or not.)
- Manifesto (A Night of Love) (1988) [Emile]: Accidentally hits his head on the floor when he falls off the bed during horseplay with Camilla Soeberg; she later rolls his body up in a rug and gets Eric Stoltz to help her get rid of the body.
- Before The Rain (Pred Dozdot) (1994) [Aleksandar Kirkov]: Shot in the back several times by his cousin (Petar Mircevski). His body is shown in a coffin.
- The Saint (1997) [Ivan Tretiak]: Although Rade survives the final film, an alternate ending has him being shot repeatedly by his son (Valeriy Nikolaev).
- Mighty Joe Young (1998) [Andre Strasser]: Electrocuted when he falls onto an electric generator after the giant gorilla Joe throws him into some power lines just as Rade is about to shoot Charlize Theron.
- Mission: Impossible II (2000) [Dr. Vladimir Nekhorvich]: Hit on the throat, and then has his neck snapped by Dougray Scott (who was disguised as Tom Cruise, and thus was actually played by Tom in this scene) on board the airplane. (note: Rade also played the role later in the film when Tom was disguised as him, questioning Brendan Gleeson).
- Snatch (2000) [Boris the Blade]: Having already been hit by a car, Rade is shot through a wall by Vinnie Jones, leaving him bleeding on the ground. Vinnie then proceeds to shoot him a comical number of times, with Rade always seeming to still be alive. It takes eight bullets in total to finally kill Rade.
- Quicksand (2003) [Oleg Butraskaya]: Shot in the eye by Matthew Marsh.
- The Fog (2005) [Captain William Blake]: Burned to death, along with the rest of his crew, when the townspeople set fire to his ship, centuries in the past; he appears as a ghost in the present-day story.
- Shooter (2007) [Michael Sandor]: Commits suicide by shooting himself under the chin, while Mark Wahlberg looks on. In his final moments, Rade tells Mark that his girlfriend has been kidnapped, before shooting himself.
- Quarantine (2008) [Yuri Ivanov]: Dies (off-screen) of the rabies-like virus, after being bitten on the throat by Craig Susser. (See also Carlos Lasarte in the 2007 version.)

- Taken 2 (2012) [Murad Hoxha]: Impaled through the back of the head on a set of cone scales/iron hooks by Liam Neeson, after Rade had attempted to shoot Liam in the back with his own gun, only to realise too late that Liam had removed the bullets, and therefore Rade had failed his test.
- The Legend of Hercules (2014) [Chiron]: Killed by Liam Garrigan, acting on Scott Adkins' orders.
Television Deaths[]
- Surface: Another One Bites The Dust (2005) [Dr. Aleksander Cirko]: Hit by a car driven by an assassin; he later dies (off-screen) in the hospital.
