6. Gary Busey

l_93409_ecf72e4eNotable Deaths Include:Lethal Tender, The Rage, Soldier, The Gingerdead Man, Man With A Gun, Surviving The Game, The Magnificent Seven Ride, Lolly-Mandonna XXX, Hex, Lethal Weapon, Predator 2, Point Break, The Firm, Drop Zone, Wild Texas Wind, Hider In The House, The Buddy Holly Story, Straight Time, The Rage I think Gary Busey gets hired in the first place because there's something undeniably glorious about watching him die: even if there's no real need for a Busey character to die, filmmakers seem to just write in a quick scene during their lunchbreak so that they can have the personal satisfaction. The fact that Busey rarely ever plays good guys certainly doesn't help matters on this front, though, which means he's always on the receiving end of a fired gun or a live grenade. Busey was one of Hollywood's go-to guys in the '90s when they needed somebody who audiences would take a lot satisfaction in watching get shot to death. Though the man has died lots and lots in a variety of creative ways, his most famous death to date probably occurs in Lethal Weapon, where Mel Gibson and Danny Glover unload a couple of rounds into him simultaneously, after Gibson has battled with him on a lawn in a kind of homo-erotic kung-fu brawl. As a result of his many deaths, Busey has actually gone insane in real life.
