9 Major Movie Stars Who've Died Onscreen In Really Disgusting Ways

7. Nicolas Cage - The Wicker Man

The Counselor Brad Pitt
Warner Bros

The Wicker Man might be total rubbish - and a complete insult to the 1973 original - but it gave the world the glorious gift of scenes featuring Nic Cage in a bear outfit punching people out, stealing bikes at gunpoint and yelling about burnt dolls.

Any fans of the original knew how his character was going to meet his fate, but this new version at least tops it in terms of nastiness. This time the villagers capture the unlucky detective and break his legs, and then put a hood over his head and fill it with bees. It doubtful anyone would enjoy this, but for somebody with an allergy to bee stings like Cage's character it’s doubly horrible.

Once he’s been stung around a hundred times they then carry him inside of a giant effigy dubbed The Wicker Man, and then set fire to it as a sacrifice to their god. His screams can be heard all the while, which would be really unsettling if it wasn’t Cage hilarious overacting.

Still, not a fun way to go.
