Black dude ALWAYS gets killed in the movie Watching a movie with a black guy in it is a dead certainty to be a death sentence for that unfortunate brother..
What do they do? Advertise: "black actor needed as comic relief and shameless stereo-type to die with no dignity in Hollywood blockbuster"
Films that have killed the only (or one of the only) black dude (usually first)..
1. Transformers: Yes, Transformers. Jazz, the ONLY black stereo-type auto-bot is savagely ripped in two
2. Deep blue sea: Not even Samuel L Jackson's bad ass could survive that shit
3. In Gremlins, the black science teacher dies first.
4. Enter the Dragon plays it straight. Of the three main protagonists, Williams exists only to show off his fabulous afro and be killed by the Villain first.
5. Painfully apparent in the film Stargate, where the black soldier is not even present during the first alien attack, but is still the first one to die.
6. Occurs twice in Apocalypse Now, where the two black members of the boat's crew are the first two to die.
7. In the original Planet Of The Apes movie, the black member of the three-man group of astronauts is the only one who's killed by the human-hunting gorillas. Of course, later in the movie it turns out that the other white astronaut survived but was lobotomised...
8. Don't even get me started on the Joker killing brothers in The Dark Knight
9. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer: It's always the gruff, scary black general that gets killed by the power hungry villain, Doctor Doom.
10. Scream 2. The first two characters to bite it are black, both in horrifying ways. Omar Epps (pre-House), through use of barely audible whispers to draw him close enough to the wall of the toilet to get stabbed in the ear, to Jada Pinkett being stabbed repeatedly in front of hundreds of witnesses who think it's an act and even encourage the killer!
11. Purple Rain

Don't forget American History X, Ghosts of Mississippi.
And uh....black dude didn't die in Shawshank Redemption. In fact, he definitely got one over on the man, a few times. | |

it's like Star Trek when you see some "ensign" you never saw before for the first time....yup, s/he is gonna die!
PS at least LL survived Deep Blue Sea.....but that song made me want to push him back in the water...."my head is like a shark's fin" | |

Some exceptions...
Congo: Ernie Hudson survives a huge jungle full of deranged people dressed up as grey killer gorillas
Jurassic Park II: the black daughter of Ian Malcolm survives, and singlehandely kills one velocirraptor...
The Matrix Trilogy: Morpheus and other hundreds of black guys & gals survived...the white hero of the story was not that lucky...
Gladiator: the best friend of Maximus survived...other white friends didn't...
Die Hard III: Samuel L. Jackson escaped from a predictable death like 8 or 9 times in that movie shitty sequel anyway...
Pulp Fiction: Samuel L. Jackson's character, once again, has a happy ending; his white pal died, in a very ridiculous way...
Robin Hood Prience of Thieves: Morgan Freeman survives and saves the life of the white hero...
but yeah, black dudes are usually raped in action/adventure movies: Terminator 2, Revenge of the Sith, Jurassic Park, Glory, Alien, Aliens, Alien 3 & ALien IV ( ), Unforgiven, Under the Cherry Moon, etc. | |

shit, I remember that movie; I saw it in a theater cuz a) it featured LL and that alone makes any film essential b) it featured killer sharks , but hell, I remember that scene, nearly the end, when the last shark almost kills LL, I thought "ok, if the producers/writers have the balls to murder LL's character, I swear I'll live the theater before this fuckin' movie ends " luckily, he survived | |

He SURVIVED in Pulp Fiction, he clearly left the mafia world behind for good...
Anyway, I don't think he's an expendable black guy anymore, since Pulp Fiction, he has been the main hero or the main villian (hence, he had to die) in countless film...the bizarre and definitely silly Deep Blue Sea is the exception (secondary role, early death)... | |

Samuel L Jackson says:
he's tired of muthafuckin' snakes tired of muthafuckin' dinosaurs tired of muthafuckin' sharks tired of muthafuckin' bitches on crack and tired of muthafuckin' Jar Jar Brinks!

Those are the first films that came to mind for me. The Wachowski Bros. don't get enough credit for casting such a diverse group of actors in critical roles. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
