Keith Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Jackson doesn't die nearly as much as the great Charleston Heston, who has more melodramatic death scenes than anybody I know of. Remember "Beneath the Planet of the Apes"? Death. "The Omega Man"? Died, and not just died, but if you saw that movie, he died in a fountain, his blood pooled at his feet, arms and legs outstretched, in nothing so much as a Crucifix-like figure.-----Original Message-----Doesn't it seem like Samuel L. Jackson is always dying in his movies?

As we prepare for his final lightsaber battle in ''Star Wars: Episode
III,'' we review his best cinematic swan songs.
http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1060425_1_0_,00.html
1) Star Wars: Episode III (2005)
THE STIFF Mace Windu, Jedi knight
CAUSE OF DEATH We're going to go out on a limb here and guess that
it's death by lightsaber.
2) Goodfellas (1990)
THE STIFF Stacks Edwards, thief and Mob associate
CAUSE OF DEATH: Gunshot
3) Jungle Fever (1991)
THE STIFF Gator Purify, homeless crackhead
CAUSE OF DEATH: Gunshot
4) Jurassic Park (1993)
THE STIFF Ray Arnold, a technician at the dinosaur preserve
CAUSE OF DEATH Velociraptor
5) Hard Eight (1996)
THE STIFF Jimmy, a Reno casino security guard
CAUSE OF DEATH: Gunshot
6) 187 (1997)
THE STIFF Trevor Garfield, high school science teacher
CAUSE OF DEATH: Gunshot
7) Jackie Brown (1997)
THE STIFF Ordell Robbie, arms dealer
CAUSE OF DEATH: Gunshot
8) Deep Blue Sea (1999)
THE STIFF Russell Franklin, tycoon and adventurer
CAUSE OF DEATH: Shark attack
9) Basic (2003)
THE STIFF Sgt. Nathan West, Army Ranger drill sergeant
CAUSE OF DEATH Gunshot, grenade, stabbing — depending on whom you
believe. As viewers learn in one of the plot's twists-upon-twists,
there's a reason all these death scenes appear a little far-fetched
and over-the-top.
10) Kill Bill — Vol. 2 (2004)
THE STIFF Rufus, a musician
CAUSE OF DEATH: Gunshot
