* Wash in ''Film/{{Serenity}}''. Also an example of [[KilledMidSentence Killed Mid-Sentence]]. He is celebrating his safe landing when a harpoon [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice crashes through a window and impales him]], killing him instantly. It was used deliberately in this instance, to give the following scenario -- with the entire cast trapped and fighting a holding action to give Mal enough time to transmit a message -- a real sense of AnyoneCanDie jeopardy that was lacking in the original script. Joss says in the ''Serenity'' commentary that he originally didn't intend for anyone other than Book to die, but then he finished the script and realised that the stakes weren't high enough, and that it was kind of implausible for them all to get through unscathed. Therefore, he did his evil Joss trick of picking the character that would be the most heart-wrenching to kill, and proceeding. YMMV on whether this had the intended effect, [[BrokenBase to put it mildly.]]
