10 Famous Actors Who Can't Help Doing The Same Thing In Every Movie

4. Michael Ironside Loses A Limb

As Witnessed In: Total Recall, Spacehunter: Adventures In The Forbidden Zone, Guy X, Highlander II: The Quickening, Starship Troopers, The Machinist Michael Ironside has a face like the wrong end of a shovel, which means that he's spent much of his cinematic career being horribly and brutally murdered on screen, because that's what happens when you're unattractive and you want to work in Hollywood: you play villains. Still, the weird thing about Michael Ironside's characters is that so many of them have a bizarre tendency to... well, have their limbs torn from their bodies. In fact, it's kind of become Michael Ironside's "thing." The most famous instance of Ironside's limbs going their separate ways would probably be in Total Recall, which has them ripped from his body when he's crushed between an elevator and a wall. But ol' Michael lost both hands in Spacehunter: Adventures In The Forbidden Zone, too, his head in Highlander II: The Quickening, his left arm and his left leg in Starship Troopers, another arm in The Machinist, and a couple of limbs in Guy X. This guy really goes out on a limb.
