Richard Kiel in Silver Streak

Richard Kiel (1939 - 2014)

Film Deaths

  • Eegah! (1962) [Eegah]: Shot to death by police (causing him to fall into the water) while he's rampaging next to a swimming pool.
  • Silver Streak (1976) [Reace]: Falls off the top of the train after being shot in the chest with a speargun by Gene Wilder during a chase.
  • The Sledgehammer's Wrath (1986) [Torcher]: Burned to death via flamethrower by Lea Thompson as revenge for killing her younger brother the same way (this is very ironic due to the character's name, Torcher).

TV Deaths

Note: in the Gilligan's Island episode Ghost-a-go-go, he played a con artist impersonating a ghost, not an actual one, if you wonder about the character name.

Video Game Deaths

  • 007: Everything or Nothing (2003) [Jaws]: Possibly killed when the elevator shaft hits the bottom, as he's on fire (he's not seen in the rest of the game) (note: Richard is widely credited to have done the voice, but his character only grunts and growls)
