I'm bringing this over from Random Thoughts....

Got me to thinking...

The actor who's characters have personally killed more people in than anyone in the history of movie making must be Clint Eastwood....

Between his westerns, his cop movies, and his war flicks, Clint compiled a pretty impressive body count.....

BSG suggested:

Clint's got nothing on Arnold as Terminator, etc.

I'm still gonna go with Clint....

Yes, Arnold offed a lot in the original Terminator, but in the sequels his character was a good guy, and there was only one bad guy, so he didn't kill that many....

He killed a number of bad guys in his Conan movies, and he certainly wasted quite a few in Total Recall, Commando, and a few others....

Sly Stalone is another one who might be considered as a competitor in the body count sweep stakes, but again, even if you add up the Rambo flicks and his other macho man-on-a-mission movies, I don't think he holds a candle to Clint....

Clint machine gunned at least a hundred bad guys in Where Eagles Dare alone, and that flick's just a footnote in his four decade shoot em' up career from A Fistful Of Dollars through The Unforgiven....

John Wayne? He did 200 + movies, and was usually shooting people in them.

Steven McQueen:

He was reported to have a body count in RL; knowing how to 'dispatch' a person, from his stint in the Marines-
which was why his tough stage presence was so convincing, he wasn't acting.

What about Rambo?

do Zombies/undead count?

Yes! rifle/gun ranges don't usually allow to you to shoot at photos or depictions of real people ...zombies however, have no bag limit;



You can get these paper targets, anywhereZ and plink with impunity.

John Wayne? He did 200 + movies, and was usually shooting people in them.

I thought about Wayne...

He's the only one who could even come close.....

I still think Clint win's the prize.....

Slim Pickens.

In Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, as Maj. T.J. "King" Kong, he kills everyone.

That was my choice, too. Also, my all time favorite movie.

Henry Fonda in Fail Safe dropped a hydrogen bomb on New York City and, as i recall, casualties were estimated in the millions.

And Peter Cushing destroyed the entire planet of Alderaan as commander of the Death Star in Star Wars. Not sure how many actually lived there, though.

2 billion, according to Wookiepedia

(hey, my boyz are huge Star Wars fans, I know where to find this stuff)

John Anderson played Kevin Uxbridge in a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, in which he killed all 50 billion members of the Husnock species in retaliation for killing his wife.

I concede that by comparison Arnold's a slacker. Clint, too.

I bow to the greater geek

I wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't pushed it in that direction, but I suppose having the DVD sets of every Star Trek series made (and all the movies), does make me the greater geek by default.

I'm pissed netflix doen't have the movies

I had to look it up, you knew it off the top of your head (at least that's what I got from your post)!

But based on that theory, Sue's posting is from the greatest geek of all

Nah, I only ever saw the first two Star Wars movies and only the original Star Trek TV series. I knew Peter Cushing from his many roles in goofy horror films that I used to watch on Saturday afternoons (I was actually a Vincent Price fan, 'cause he was hilarious), but I had to look up which planet Carrie Fisher came from -- I'm not sure she knows, either!

Don't ask where Yoda comes from ...nobody knows.
