9 Actors Who Died TWICE Horribly The Same Exact Way In Different Movies

3. Daryl Hannah - Flailing Around Helplessly (Blade Runner & Kill Bill Vol. 2)

In Blade Runner, Daryl Hannah plays Pris, one of the rogue replicants Deckard (Harrison Ford) is chasing down, who Deckard ultimately kills following a brutal fight.

Pris' death is memorable in that, after being shot by Deckard, she flails and thrashes around on the floor before finally being "retired" with an additional shot.

This was amusingly homaged in Kill Bill Vol. 2, where Hannah's assassin Elle Driver is (possibly) killed when The Bride (Uma Thurman) plucks out her one remaining eye and leaves her to blindly fend off a black mamba snake.

Before the Bride leaves, we see Elle rolling around on the floor of Budd's (Michael Madsen) trailer in a fashion incredibly similar to Pris in Blade Runner. Knowing Tarantino's fondness for classic movies, it's extremely hard to believe this wasn't intentional.

While technically Elle Driver's fate is never actually confirmed in the film, the original script more-or-less confirms her death, so it counts.
