10 More Movies That Killed Completely The Wrong Character

The Death: Unfortunately for Budlofsky he never makes a meal he spends the entire film promising his dearly beloved. Craig Robinson's Matheson guns him down as he shows a minute’s mercy to Franco’s Saul towards the film’s finale, with Matheson then in turn biting the dust after McBride’s Red comes speeding along to not only mow him down, but shoot his foot off.

Who Should Have Died Instead: Red

Pineapple Express has many memorable characters. There’s Seth Rogen as the ditzy Dale Denton, James Franco as the spaced-out Saul and Brian McBride’s brilliant Red, not to mention Craig Robinson’s Matheson and Gary Cole’s villainous Ted. For a stoner film, the cast of this 2008 film is seriously packing and it delivers with laughs aplenty for its entire two-hour run time.

As a result, Budlofsky goes seriously under the radar. Kevin Corrigan’s character appears unwilling to be dragged into Ted’s crazy schemes, preferring the finer things in life instead - such as dinner with his wife. Forget the drugs, guns and madness that unfolds, this man just wants some steak - and who can blame him?

Red, contrastingly, is a dead man walking throughout the majority of the movie. McBride's man survives a bong to the head, being shot, being caught up in a huge explosion and yet somehow is still alive at the end of the film, where he sits down with Denton and Saul in a cosy American diner.

Now, comedy movies don't necessarily need to be realistic but there's no way Red, who was also at one point taped to a wheelchair and left to bleed out, would survive.
