Blue Desert (Silent Victim) (1991) [Joe]: I vaguely recall that he was killed in this movie, but it's been so long since I've seen it, I can't remember the details.
Kiss of Death (1995) [Big Junior Brown]: Dies (off-screen) of cancer; we learn of his death afterwards in a scene of his son (Nicolas Cage) having an emotional tantrum. (Thanks to Gary)
Magnolia (1999) [Jimmy Gator]: Presumably burned to death (off-screen) after an electrical fire starts in his home, after a frog falls through the skylight and knocks Philip unconscious just as he was about to shoot himself. (The scene ends just as the electric outlet begins to spark, and his fate isn't established in the film itself; however, I recall reading that director Paul Thomas Anderson has stated that he didn't make it out.)
Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis (2000) [Aristotle Onassis]: Presumably dies of pneumonia. (I haven't seen this mini-series, so I don't know whether or not it covers Onassis' death.)
Dogville (2003) [Tom Edison Sr.]: Machine-gunned, along with everybody else in the town, by James Caan's thugs. (Thanks to Vincent, Artur, and Dick Hertz) |
