Thats all I can think of at the moment, sorry.
i got a feeling i know you the points are going to but I'll answer anyway .because this great question reminds me of it.
He didn't die at the end sort of half way thought but because he was like the most famous actor in it you would of imagined he would live but died in the coolest way. i am talking about the demise of Samuel l Jackson's character in "deep blue see" a shocking and total surprising twist that impressed me greatly.
Who could top timothyc's answer! Well done. But you did miss: The Wild Geese (Richard Harris dies, the nice idealist member of the unit).
