10 Movie Characters Who Died Twice

10. Bertram Pincus - Ghost Town

Before diving into the more larger than life instances of superheroes giving death the middle finger and the surreal second coming of certain Dark Lords, Ricky Gervais' unfortunate habit of taking a wander on over to the other side during Ghost Town will get this double-demise ball rolling.

With Gervais' dentist of Bertram Pincus discovering pretty early in the day that he'd actually been technically classed as dead for just under seven minutes whilst under general anaesthesia in the middle of his colonoscopy, things quickly take a bit of a bizarre turn.

From that moment onwards, Pincus finds himself gifted with the ability to communicate with ghosts, and all manner of supernatural strangeness inevitably unfolds.

Then, after spending much of the flick trying to aid a ghost by the name of Frank with some unfinished business concerning his widow, Bertram is once again dealt a fleeting fatal blow as, similarly to Frank, he accidentally collides with an oncoming bus.

A bit of dodgey anaesthesia and a speeding vehicle wasn't enough to keep this dentist down, mind, with Pincus once again just about staying away from the light completely on the back of himself becoming a ghost for a few brief moments post-bus smash.
