Murderers aren’t just in real life, moreover, they are more numerous in the cinema, even if it is for a good cause sometimes. Have you ever wondered which Actor/character kills the most in movies? This is the bizarre question that the analyzes of Ardentgrowth have undoubtedly asked themselves to go so far as to establish a ranking of the greatest assassins of the big and small screen.
Deadliest Actors with Most On-Screen Kills
To set up this classification which reveals some surprises, the Ardentgrowth site considered the actors who played in at least 5 action films. Also, only human beings are considered. We must wait for another classification for animals and other fantastic beings. And that shouldn’t change the order of things too much:
- Samuel L. Jackson (1734)
- Milla Jovovich (1299)
- Jet Li (1076)
- Dolph Lundgren (940)
- Arnold Schwarzenegger (842)
- Steven Seagal (822)
- Sylvester Stallone (794)
- Jason Statham (718)
- Kevin Costner (670)
- Wesley Snipes (593)
- Nicholas Cage (588)
- Chuck Norris (485)
- Keanu Reeves (387)
- Jean Claude Van Damme (480)
- Gerard Butler (425)
- Clint Eastwood (382)
- Dwayne Johnson (368)
- Tom Cruise (363)
- Daniel Craig (348)
- Sean Bean (344)
The big names in American cinema are very present in this ranking. Unfortunately, there is only one woman, Milla Jovovich, who is still the second assassin in cinema with 1299 deaths to her credit. The other surprise is the number of deaths displayed for certain actors. Sometimes, the sequence of actions must make it possible to follow the body counting.
