    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

    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.

      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.)

    Apparently Christopher Lee blows him out of the water. Unless they are counting “living” actors. Even then Lee beat him with 71.

          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.

      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.

          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).

            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.
