15	* ''KilledOffForReal/MarvelCinematicUniverse''
16	[[/index]]
17	----
18	* Unlike many major movie monsters of the era which either survive or are resurrected, the titular beasts of the first ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'' films are destroyed permanently at the end of [[Film/{{Alien}} their respective]] [[Film/{{Predator}} debuts.]] Unfortunately for mankind, those were just single specimens of entire identical races. It allows the writers to keep bringing the characters back while avoiding JokerImmunity.
19	* Rex’s father in ''Film/AdventuresInDinosaurCity'' dies when [[BigBad Mr. Big's]] lair [[CollapsingLair collapses]] [[HeroicSacrifice after he sabotages it]], but not before saving the heroes in the process.
20	* Every villain save [[AntiVillain Catwoman]] and some minor gang members in the Creator/TimBurton [[Film/Batman1989 Bat]][[Film/BatmanReturns man]] films dies. The Joker famously averts [[JokerImmunity his own trope]], Max Schreck gets a FamilyUnfriendlyDeath, and The Penguin gets a tear-jerking death. Catwoman survived because [[CatsHaveNineLives she has nine lives]].
21	-->'''Catwoman:''' Two lives left. I think I'll save one for next Christmas. But in the meantime, how about a kiss Santi-Claus?
22	* In ''Film/TheBlackHole'', Reinhardt's robot Maximilian drives a spinning blade attachment through Alex Durant's stomach.
23	* ''Film/DarkmanIITheReturnOfDurant'': It's clear that the helicopter crash Robert G. Durant is in at the end of [[Film/{{Darkman}} the first movie]] was supposed to kill him, but then he's [[BackFromTheDead revealed to have survived and been in a coma]] in the sequel. That movie though ends with Darkman trapping Durant in his car with no means of escape whatsoever and blowing the car up with a bomb.
24	-->''"This time, it's forever."''
25	* The 1990s version of Franchise/{{Godzilla}} dies from radioactive meltdown at the end of ''Film/GodzillaVsDestoroyah''. He is not revived for another film, [[HesJustHiding he's not faking it]], he does NOT get better. It's one of the few films in the Godzilla franchise in which Godzilla dies and stays dead. Although his son (who was THOUGHT to be dead) takes his place at the end of the film.
26	** Likewise, in ''[[Film/GodzillaMothraKingGhidorahGiantMonstersAllOutAttack GMK]]'' Baragon, Mothra, and King Ghidorah are all killed-off by Godzilla and stay dead throughout the rest of the film.
27	** Also, [[Film/{{Gojira}} the original 1954 film]]? Yes, folks, Godzilla dies thanks to the Oxygen Destroyer. Even though the original film is considered canon across all continuities of the franchise, the Godzilla that shows up in any of the sequels; he's just another Godzilla. The first one really did die. Going by ''Film/GodzillaVsDestoroyah'', this also means Godzilla died for good twice.
28	*** In ''GMK'' the original Godzilla does come back, [[OurZombiesAreDifferent as a zombie being controlled by the vengeful spirits of the forgotten soldiers who died in World War II.]] Though, this is more along the lines of CameBackWrong than anything else.
29	*** Also, ''Film/GodzillaAgainstMechagodzilla'' and ''Film/GodzillaTokyoSOS'' has Kiryu, a GoneHorriblyRight cyborg created from the bones of the original Godzilla.
30	* ''Film/JamesBond'':
31	** ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'': The ColdOpen sees this happen to Ernst Stavro Blofield. He plans to use his helicopter to send 007 to his doom; instead, the chopper's skids hook onto his wheelchair, which is then transported over to a smokestack and neatly dropped off.
32	** ''Film/NoTimeToDie'': Due to ''[[Creator/DanielCraig Daniel Craig's]]'' Bond adventures being a ''ContinuityReboot'' and having a 5-film story arc, the film makers chose to end his tenure with Bond himself dying from a missile strike to protect his girlfriend and child. Yes, ''TheHeroDies'' in this one.
33	* In ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', the ''Indoraptor'' is impaled on a dinosaur skeleton, and to make sure the Indoraptor can't return via cloning the DNA for its base species ''Indominus rex'' is destroyed by Rexy.
34	* ''Film/{{Scream\|1996}}''. The GenreSavvy heroine makes sure the villain ''stays dead''.
35	-->'''Randy Meeks:''' Careful. This is the moment when the supposedly-dead killer comes back to life for one last scare.\
36	''[Billy starts to rise, only to receive a [[BoomHeadshot headshot]] from Sidney]''\
37	'''Sidney Prescott:''' Not in my movie.
38	* ''Film/StargateContinuum'': After dozens of Ba'al's clones have been killed throughout the last few seasons of the series and he has continually escaped death to return yet again, both the last clone and the original Ba'al are finally killed for good by SG-1.
39	* Data in ''Film/StarTrekNemesis''. Data is revealed to have been rebuilt in ''Star Trek: Countdown'', the canon prequel to the [[Film/StarTrek2009 reboot Star Trek film]], though. This was then retconned in ''Series/StarTrekPicard'', where it is revealed that the download into B4 was unsuccessful. As it turns out [[spoiler: in Picard's season 3, the three androids' memories (Data's, Lore's and B4's) are stored in the computer system of the Federation's research facility Daystrom Institute and downloaded into a void or inert Databot. After a short altercation with the oh so cunning Lore, Data's personality gets the upper hand and is resurrected for real - including Lore and B4 in one android.]]
40	* While the franchise at large has killed countless characters - both with large and small roles - ''Film/TerminatorDarkFate'' does the unthinkable and kills the closest the series has to TheHero, John Connor, in only the first few minutes.
41	* The original killer in the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' series (who ISN'T Jason, but actually his mom, Pamela) dies at the end of the first movie, and stays dead throughout the rest.
42	** Jason himself was meant to actually ''stay'' dead following his demise in ''Film/FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter'' (hence the film's subtitle). Due to the movie's success, it was followed by another sequel ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVANewBeginning'', in which Jason remains dead from the previous film. But the negative reception of this film ensured Jason's return in the following film, ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives''. It took until ''Film/JasonX'' for him to finally stay down for good.
43	* After having the distinction of being the only character who appeared in every installment of the franchise, Burt Gummer meets his end in ''Film/Tremors7ShriekerIsland'' when he is eaten by the Graboid Queen, saving Jimmy in the process, which then falls on some spikes and explodes when a bunch of dynamite is set off shorty afterwards.
44	* Michael Myers from the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' series has a long history of cheating death. But his countless injuries finally catch up to him in ''Film/HalloweenEnds'', where Laurie Strode kills him by slitting his throat and wrists and then [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill placing his corpse in a car shredder]] with the whole town of Haddonfield witnessing the disposal.
