- Now let's talk about Gary Oldman. You've probably seen him around, though you may not have known it was him. He's a master of disguise; he rarely looks the same twice! He may not repeat looks, but there is one thing that he definitely has done more than once: drop dead in a movie! He's actually succumbed to fate in, count 'em, 12 different films: The Book of Eli State of Grace Bram Stoker's Dracula The Fifth Element Leon Air Force One True Romance Lost in Space JFK Sid and Nancy Hannibal Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

- It's a good thing that death on film doesn't last forever! If that were the case, Robert De Niro would've had to leave the movie business decades ago. Check out this sampling of his most hazardous career moments: Bloody Mama Bang the Drum Slowly Mean Streets 1900 Brazil The Mission Cape Fear This Boy's Life Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Heat The Fan Jackie Brown Great Expectations 15 Minutes Hide & Seek Machete New Year's Eve

- Sometimes, an actor can't help but play roles that will ultimately end in death. Take Gary Busey, for instance. His face is perfect to play the "bad guy" part, so it isn't a total shock that he's passed away on screen so many times since the 1960s. Here are just some examples of films in which he's croaked: The Magnificent Seven Ride Lolly-Madonna XXX Hex The Buddy Holly Story Straight Time Lethal Weapon Hider in the House Predator 2 Point Break Wild Texas Wind The Firm Under Siege Drop Zone Surviving the Game Man with a Gun Lethal Tender The Rage Soldier The Gingerdead Man

- Mickey Rourke is another actor who, like Gary Busey, was built to play the bad guy. Therefore, just like his creepy counterpart, he has died in a lot of movies, too: A Prayer for the Dying Rumble Fish Johnny Handsome Picture Claire Iron Man 2 Once Upon a Time in Mexico Sin City Killshot Passion Play Immortals Double Team Francesco White Sands Bullet Fall Time Desperate Hours The Last Outlaw Spun Man on Fire

- Sean Bean, whom you may have watched meet his untimely end in the first season of 'Game of Thrones,' has bit the dust in over 20 movies and TV series throughout his career. Yikes! That's a lot of death. It would probably be much easier to list the movies he hasn't died in, but what fun would that be? I'll break it down by category, so you guys can really get a taste of Bean's massive death count. Movies (Including made-for-TV and straight-to-DVD): Caravaggio War Requiem The Field Lorna Doone Patriot Games GoldenEye Airborne Essex Boys The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Don't Say a Word Equilibrium The Island Far North The Hitcher Outlaw Cash Death Race 2 Black Death Age of Heroes TV Miniseries: Tell Me That You Love Me Clarissa Scarlett Henry VIII Red Riding

Edward Scissorhands- Bela Lugosi, who became famous for playing horror roles just like Vincent Price, appeared in over 100 films in his career. With that many credits to his name, and getting a lot of work in the horror genre, he was bound to rack up quite a list! All in all, he died in at least 36 movies.

If you thought Sean Bean, Vincent Price, and Bela Lugosi's death numbers were high, think again! The true King of Movie Deaths is John Hurt, whose characters have ended up six feet under in at least 40 movies and miniseries since his career began in the 1960s. If you want to know what it's like on the other side, he's probably the man to ask!
