10 Horror Movie Characters Who Died Breaking Their Own Rules

4. Ronald Noland - Predators

A Quiet Place Lee
20th Century Fox

With hindsight, it's hard to imagine how Laurence Fishburne's Noland survived as long as he did.

Predators sees the famous franchise transported from Earth to an alien world. The expansive, deadly terrain is essentially the equivalent of an intergalactic game reserve, where unsuspecting elite soldiers find themselves dropped without explanation, to act as the proverbial rabbit to the Predators' hounds.

Amongst this charming assortment of Earth's finest mercenaries, soldiers and psychopaths, Noland is a US Air Cavalry soldier - the lone survivor remaining from his particular group of human prey. Scratching out a meagre existence by scavenging Predator technology and hiding from the terrifying extra-terrestrial killers, Noland has been driven mad by his time alone in such a hostile environment. As such, his one rule is to avoid detection by the Predators at all costs.

Royce and his rag-tag group of killers find out the murderous extent of Noland's desire to survive as he locks them in his hideout, attempting to smoke them to death so he can steal their equipment. Regrettably for the devious scavenger, in his haste to do so, he fails to consider that a group of well armed savages might just possess weaponry capable of attracting their pursuers. Loe and behold, Royce uses an explosive to draw the Predators to their location and Noland is duly dispatched by the arriving Tracker in an explosion of crimson gore.
