| Cry Freedom (1987) [Steve Biko]: Dies of kidney failure resulting from a brain injury while in police custody; his body is shown again later on in the morgue when Kevin Kline and Juanita Waterman view the body. Glory (1989) [Private Trip]: Shot in the chest by Confederate soldiers while storming the fort; his body is shown again after the battle as all the bodies are put in a mass grave, with him lying next to Matthew Broderick. (Thanks to Gary) Heart Condition (1990) [Napoleon Stone]: Reportedly shot to death; he appears as a ghost throughout the rest of the movie after his heart is transplanted into Bob Hoskins. (I haven't seen this movie, but I'm familiar with the premise.) Malcolm X (1992) [Malcolm X]: Shot to death by three assassins. (It's been some time since I've seen this movie, so I can't recall whether the assassination was depicted on-screen.) Fallen (1998) [John Hobbes]: Reportedly commits suicide by smoking a poison-laced cigarette, as part of a plan to destroy the demon by tricking it into possessing his dying body. (I haven't seen this movie, but I recall reading a review that revealed this.) Training Day (2001) [Detective Sergeant Alonzo Harris]: Shot to death by members of the Russian Mafia in the street. (Thanks to Gary) Man on Fire (2004) [Creasy]: Reportedly shot to death by Gustavo Sanchez Parra and his men; we only see a close-up of Denzel's hand dropping a necklace, followed by some on-screen text confirming his death. (I haven't seen this movie myself.) (Thanks to Gary) |
