10 Deaths That Movies Totally Forgot About
These movie deaths were wildly glossed over.
Death is a part of the movies just as it's a part of life, because when the heroes are facing mortal peril, it's just a matter of time before one or two of them end up shuffling off their mortal coil.
A great death scene can help make a movie, forever embedding itself in the audience's mind, but there are also many films that undermine a killer death scene by refusing to pay it any mind for the rest of the runtime.
When a significant character dies, it's expected that the remaining survivors will take a moment at some point to linger on that loss and pay respect to them, but sometimes that just doesn't happen.
Perhaps the characters don't have time to take a breather or the filmmakers simply didn't appreciate how much viewers would connect with the character in question.
Whatever the reason, these characters died and then vanished from the consciousness of the movie itself as though they never really existed.
It's an outcome that's left fans a bit miffed ever since, that for all of their heroism and apparent importance, these characters deserved to be remembered by those lucky enough to survive to the end...
10. Eddie Carr - The Lost World: Jurassic Park
Let's start by pouring one out for Eddie Carrie (Richard Schiff) from The Lost World: Jurassic Park - a field equipment expert who ends up being one of the movie's more likeable characters.
And yet, Eddie dies mid-way through the film, being ripped apart by two T-rexes while trying valiantly to rescue Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore), and Nick Van Owen (Vince Vaughn).
It's the most heartbreaking death in the entire movie, all the more so because it's a staggeringly merciless, brutal end for such a well-liked character.
And though Ian does demand that some respect be put on Eddie's name in the immediate aftermath of his death, after that he's completely disregarded, with no further mentions being made of him for the rest of the movie.
Fun fact: director Steven Spielberg liked Eddie enough that he strongly considered sparing him last-minute, though actor Richard Schiff convinced him to proceed with Eddie's death as planned, feeling that it would raise the stakes and assure the audience that anyone could die for the rest of the film.
