Which Actor's Characters Killed The Most People?

[Andrew D]

I still think that at least thus far, Slim Pickens gets the nod. As of 1964, when Dr. Strangelove came out, the world's population was between 3.2 and 3.3 billion (3.276 billion, 3,268,896,174, 3,239,000,311, etc.).

John Anderson would win hands down, except that the opening posting says:

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

(Emphasis modified.) I read that as ruling out TV series.

Go, Slim, go!

This month Sylvester Stallone returns to the big screen with his new Rambo movie. The newest installment of Rambo is quickly becoming known for its extreme violence. The new Rambo movie has more death in it than the other Rambo movies by a large margin. It raises the question, which actor has killed the most bad guys in their film career?
Fortunately, in this day and age you kind find information on anything. You can even find someone that is willing to sit through every violent movie and count how many people died. Those people would be the Southern California Mathematics Society, or the SCMS. Here are the top ten actors with the most kills according to the SCMS.

10. Jean-Claude Van Damme
We haven't heard much from Jean-Claude Van Damme in while but he left his mark by killing 328 people in 26 movies.

9. Charles Bronson
Movies weren't as violent in Charles Bronson's days but he managed to rack many over his career. Charles Bronson was most famous for his roles in The Great Escape and The Dirty Dozen but most of his kills came from the Death Wish movies. Bronson racked up 377 kills over 38 movies.

8. Clint Eastwood
Clint Eastwood has been both "The Man With No Name" and "Dirty" Harry so it shouldn't be a surprise that he has killed many throughout the years. In 31 movies Clint Eastwood killed 396 bad guys.

7. Steven Seagal
I never understood the fascination with Steven Seagal. It's a little bit clearer now though since anybody that kills 420 people in 24 movies is going to be popular among movie goers.

6. Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson did a lot of killing in the Lethal Weapon movies but he had more kills in Braveheart than all the others combined. Gibson had a total of 421 kills in 19 movies. Now we just need the SCMS to calculate how many times Mel Gibson pulled up his kilt and mooned bad guys.

5. Sylvester Stallone
Sylvester Stallone's 449 kills in 19 movies was his total before the new Rambo movie so expect him to move up the list when those numbers are calculated. Sly's three top killing movies include two Rambo movies and Demolition Man.

4. Chuck Norris
We all know that if he wanted to Chuck Norris would have the most kills, and he'd kill everybody on this list too. But fortunately Chuck Norris also has a little self control so he has only killed 455 bad guys in 27 movies.

3. Harrison Ford
Harrison Ford is third in most kills but he's first in kills per movie (they only take movies where somebody is killed into account so Ford's dramas don't count). Harrison Ford killed 508 bad guys in 16 movies for a clip of 31 per movie. A majority of these kills are due to 387 kills in Return of the Jedi.

2. Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold's kill total could've been higher but that stupid John Connors had to program the Terminator not to kill anybody in Terminator 2. Arnold still reached number two thanks to movies such as Commando, True Lies, Total Recall and Predator. Arnold killed 538 baddies in 20 movies.

1. Dolph Lundgren
Wasn't expecting that one were you? Dolph Lundgren might not be as popular or well known as Arnold, Harrison Ford or Sly Stallone but he is the top killing machine in movies. Dolph Lundgren has killed 662 people in 23 movies. Lundgren's number one killing movie was 182 kills in The Punisher.

We'll see ya here, on the Family Feud;

[MajGenl.Meade]

After Slim Pickens, it is probably Mark Hamill. He destroyed Death Star 1 which had an estimated population of 31,622,963

Mind you, if you assume that "The Greatest Story Ever Told" is still kind of continuing, then I think some Christian probably has the record

Death never takes a holiday...........

[loCAtek]

Hmmm, well you want to go the SF route, then Dr. Peters in Twelve Monkeys, did release a virus that would kill off most of humanity.

[Big RR]

Well George Burns did play god (I think Richard Prior did in another movie as well); if you accept that god is responsible for everything, these characters killed every person who ever lived and will ever live. Can't beat that.

[BoSoxGal]

I was going to make that point, too - but I figured the unspoken limitation was to deaths occurring during the film narrative.
