- 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' (2003) 836 deaths. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King shows that the series was saving the best for last, when it came to on-screen deaths at least.
- 'Kingdom of Heaven' (2005) 610 deaths. Kingdom of Heaven is a Ridley Scott blockbuster that's very underrated, considering it didn't find success or a fanbase until it got a superior Director's Cut on home media.
- '300' (2006) 600 deaths. It's fitting that a movie called 300 has 600 on-screen deaths. It's a nice, even number for the body count to be, considering the title itself is a nice, even number.
- 'Troy' (2004) 572 deaths. Troy was another large-scale action/war film focusing on a historical conflict, perhaps comparable to The Last Samurai in that way.

Most people tend to slow down when they reach old age. They retire, travel the world, enjoy a nice cup of tea now and again, take advantage of a few senior discounts, and overall take the time to appreciate the little things in life. Charles Bronson is not one of these people. One of Hollywood's most celebrated vigilantes, who started racking up th...
Jean-Claude Van Damme, also known as JCVD, also known as the Muscles from Brussels, also known as Captain Splits (all right, we made that last one up) burst onto the movie scene in the late 1980's with films like Black Eagle, Bloodsport, Cyborg, andKickboxer. After that, he would go on to become one of the industry's biggest action stars, showcasin...
Chuck Norris, the man whose legend has inspired countless "facts" about his various feats of strength, comes in at number thirteen on our list. The 76-year-old (who, let's be honest, doesn't look a day over 73) first arrived on the scene in 1972's The Way of the Dragon where he fought none other than Bruce Lee. Despite boasting some pretty impressi...
There's a reason Nicholas Cage was cast as Benjamin Franklin Gates in National Treasure. It's because the man himself is one. Whether he's turning in critically acclaimed performances in films like Leaving Las Vegas and Adaptation, or over-the-top, scene-chewing masterpieces like Wicker Man and Vampire's Kiss, the man can be counted on to (usually)...
It may seem like a distant memory now—especially considering the behind-the-scenes issues that allegedly plagued Blade: Trinity (check out Patton Oswalt's interview for more details) and the man's three-year stint in jail on tax evasion charges—but there was once a time when Wesley Snipes was one of the biggest action stars in the world. In fact, S...
For anyone unfamiliar with Tomisaburo Wakayama, just think of John Wick if he killed with a sword instead of a gun. Wakayama got his start working in film in the 1950's and had more than 150 credits to his name by the time he died in 1992. He appeared in 1989's Black Rain alongside Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia, but is best known for his role as ...
You should never judge a book by its cover. Unless that book is Jason Statham and the cover is, well, his face, physique, voice, and the general way in which he carries himself. Simply put, the man looks like a legitimate badass and if you see him walking down a dark alley, you're best bet is to turn and run or you're likely to get a flying kick to...
Steven Seagal is another action star who rose to prominence in the last 1980's before absolutely dominating the genre in the 1990's. In a crowded field that included the likes of the aforementioned Norris, Snipes, and Van Damme, Seagal's look and martial arts style gave him a uniqueness the other stars couldn't match. Standing at 6'4", Seagal was a...
A list of the world's deadliest action stars that doesn't include Sylvester Stallone is a bit like a dog riding a unicycle while juggling: it doesn't make sense and will make you question everything you thought you knew about the world. For the better part of two decades in the 80's and 90's Stallone (and that other guy who we'll get to soon) was t...
Chow Yun-Fat is another entry that may come as a surprise to those not overly familiar with his work, but is well-deserving of a spot on this list. The fact of the matter is the man has been killing bad guys since as far back as 1976 (when he was just 21-years-old) and has eight films with at least 4o kills each. Yun-Fat seems to be particularly de...
The Last Samurai. 2003 2h 34m R. 7.8 (472K) Rate. 55. Nathan Algren, a US army veteran, is hired by the Japanese emperor to train his army in the modern warfare techniques. Nathan finds himself trapped in a struggle between two eras and two worlds. Director Edward Zwick Stars Tom Cruise Ken Watanabe Billy Connolly.
Oct 5, 2016 · JAWS – Jaws (1975) 97% Haunting Grounds: The Jaws series Estimated Body Count: ~21, if you count the whale in Jaws 2 Most of the slashers on our list are bona fide film icons, but few of them can boast of having changed the entire industry the way Peter Benchley’s great white shark did: Before Jaws‘ 1975 debut, studios actually held their big films out of the summer market, believing the ...
Sep 23, 2021 · 5 The Rambo Series — John Rambo Has A Record-Breaking Bodycount. Of the '80s action heroes, Rambo is undoubtedly the most bloodthirsty. Even before his movies, Rambo was a feared one-man army with 59 confirmed kills. Outside of the Vietnam War, Rambo killed 493 people onscreen, bringing his total kill count to 552.
Jan 5, 2023 · In this entry, the Jurassic World theme park is finally open, meaning that the amount of people exposed to dinosaurs is higher than ever, leading to even more deaths. Jurassic World was the first movie in the series since 2001's Jurassic Park III, and the film's kill count feels like it is making up for lost time.
