I might be wrong but, I'm sure Danny Trejo has in his contracts that if he's playing a bad character that he has to die
Yes. He was actually in prison. He wants kids to know if you do bad things, bad things happen.
If only that were actually true.
as long as it is poor people bad things like smoking a plant
and not rich people bad things like fucking a kid
My wife just told me that factoid yesterday, so assuming her source was accurate, you are correct
Very probable
Hello Danny.
Hi
Sean Bean is inconsolable
There’s a movie here somewhere. Something where they both repeatedly die through more and more ridiculous means. Just lean into the fan service, we’ll come..
Edge of Tomorrow 2
Is this a movie about fapping?
Haha, yeah I guess it sounds like it. A lot of people liked Edge of Tomorrow because of the amount of times Tom Cruise got killed.
Netflix brings back Travellers starring Sean Bean.
Fucking brilliant. And they're playing dramatized versions of themselves, right?
Naturally..
He actually won't take roles where he dies anymore. I don't think he's a fan of the meme.
One does not simply shake off the legacy.
They retroactively removed his deaths for his role in Sharpe series and actively repelling death. (And almost died IRL on set when a horse almost trampled his skull.)
I read that it's in his contracts that if he plays a bad guy, that guy has to die, so as to not influence kids that crime pays off in any way. I'm not sure if it's true, but I choose to believe it is.
Spending several years in San Quentin will have that effect, he doesn’t want to see any other kids end up there
Apparently Christopher Lee blows him out of the water. Unless they are counting "living" actors. Even then Lee beat him with 71.

I wonder where time loop films fit in this. Tom Cruise dies like 20+ times in Edge of Tomorrow.
Ground hog day could add a new competitor
This guy from the 2018 movie "The Endless". Someone in the comments said he probably died 600 million times, since he's been stuck in this loop since the early 1900's and dying every 5 seconds.
Also what an absolute nightmare to also be aware of it.
Even more than Sean Bean? 😯
well, my heart sunk for a moment because I was scrolling and speed reading thread titles and 'Danny Trejo deaths' popped up, don't do this again ma'am/sir
It does feel right that death would have to come for Danny Trejo more than once.
Take that, Sean Bean!
I wonder if anyone has ever calculated his on-screen KDR.
Especially impressive considering that his acting career is shorter than Sean Bean's.
And that Wilhelm guy has the most off-screen deaths... probably...
Everyone bringing up Sean Bean, poor John Hurt getting left in the dust.
Too soon.
I was glad when he died in Con Air. I was sad when he died in Halloween.
Which actor has the most on-screen kills?
does he count?
Thinking way too small.
This guy destroyed several inhabited planets at once, on screen.
Thanos erased 50% of every sentient species in the galaxy with one click of his fingers (it was stupid that he did that, and a terrible way to achieve his stated aim - especially considering the power he had at the time - but he still did it).
Pfft. The va who did anti-monitor erased multiple entire universes, leaving only one in crisis on infinite earths.
But were talking about who died, not caused the most deaths.
Hm... But does it count as 'on screen' if he was mostly CGI?
Plus, there's the additional complication that he didn't quite kill them -- he made them all disappear. And then they came back a few years later. So maybe it's kind of debatable whether those count as 'kills' at all.
I mean if we're going that route, than any kill that doesn't specifically show the person dying shouldn't count, cause otherwise you're basically just trying to except certain circumstances that fit certain characters but not others.
I'd say Thanos being cgi doesn't invalidate the kills, but the only ones that count are the ones we see. Bucky fading away? Counts. Inhabitants of helicopter we see crash above Nick Fury? They count.
Deaths that are merely confirmed via census? Do not count for this comparison.
But we're counting kills per actor, not per character. Was the actor actually even on screen at all?
He performed the mocap and voice. I say it's fine.
Curious who would get points for Darth Vader eps 4-6. Different actors did the visible performance vs voice.
Is that Oppenheimer?
yes
If he does, Peter Cushing and Josh Brolin definitely have higher counts.
Josh Brolin?
Billy Crystal
Charlie Sheen obviously
/Walks in Sean Bean
Even Kenny?
Yeah, my first thought was "Nah, I think Matt Stone probably has him beat."
He didn't die in Spy Kids.
He wasn't a bad guy in that. He didn't die in Bad Ass either.
I really like him as an actor. And I really like that he always makes sure in his movies that it portrays being a bad guy never paying off.
He even dies in the video game Def Jam: Fight for NY. Love that subway fight.
I dunno, there's probably a background stunt guy that has the most on screen deaths
And I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of his movies.
He’s generally not the lead so he can be easy to miss or forget seeing. The only films that come to mind where he was lead are Machete and Machete Kills Again. Loosely based on his character from the Spy Kids movies.
He has it in his contract that if he plays a bad guy, they must be killed or I think go to prison, which is likely what this article is going to mention why his on-screen deaths are so high.
Or more directly based on the fake movie trailer that's part of Grindhouse (2007).
If you’ve never seen Heat, you should fix that.
Best sounding movie!
I rewatched it a few days ago. It's from back when actors could act properly. Amazing movie. The shooting scene at the end is absurdly good as well. The sound is incredible.
You haven’t seen Breaking Bad?
that's not one of his movies.
that was a show.
:-P
Actually I watched about three episodes and that was enough for me. I forgot to mention that I don’t really like most movies. They just don’t grab my attention.
Check out Desperado, it's fantastic
Bubble Boy is worth your time.
Shoot himself in the head in the movie Ancona 1995 after his boat is stranded on the river.
well, he sure shows it
Except "Unknown Extra"
Matt Dillon killed something like 400 people over the course of gun smoke.
