Film Deaths

• Band of the Hand (1986) [Joe]: Shot to death in a shoot-out with Laurence Fishburne. (Thanks to Zeppo)

• Manhunter (Red Dragon: The Curse of Hannibal Lecter; Red Dragon: The Pursuit of Hannibal Lecter) (1986) [Freddy Lounds]: Burned to death when Tom Noonan sets him on fire, after a long period of torture; we see his flaming body rolling through the parking garage in a wheelchair afterwards. (See also Philip Seymour Hoffman in the 2002 version Red Dragon).

• Last Exit to Brooklyn (1989) [Harry Black ]: Possibly dies after being beaten and tied to a signpost in a vacant lot by a neighborhood mob, following Stephen's attempt to perform oral sex on an underage boy. He's still alive and breathing when last seen, but it seems unlikely that he'd survive his injuries. Furthermore, he isn't shown in the closing scene where all of the other characters return to work after the end of a prolonged strike.

• Shadow Conspiracy (1997) [The Agent]: Shot to death by Charlie Sheen, just as Stephen is about to kill Sam Waterston. He dies as Charlie and Sam look on. (Thanks to Matthew and ND)
