The historical dramas Troy, 300 and Kingdom of Heaven also make the list, all of which show several hundred deaths, although some are considerably more violent and bloody than others. However, taking the number one spot with 836 deaths is Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King shows that the series was saving the best for last, when it came to on-screen deaths at least. The most well-reviewed and praised of the three at the Oscars, The Return of the King also has by far the most characters getting killed on screen, at 836!
Actor Samuel L. Jackson, best known for his roles in classic films such as 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Jackie Brown' has been named the deadliest Hollywood actor of all time, with 1,734 on-screen kills.
While this information shouldn't be all that surprising given the genre and plot of the movies, it is still a bit shocking to see that the protagonist single-handedly killed 128 people in one movie, making for a total John Wick kill count of 299 in the first three films.
If the Vietnam kills are added, Rambo ends up with an astounding 552 lives ended over the course of the series. Without them included, his final kill count is 493.
With 77 kills in the introductory film, 128 kills in Chapter 2, 94 kills in the third part and 140 kills in the latest instalment, the total number of kills in the entire John Wick franchise stands at a jaw-dropping 439. That's definitely not a small number!
But both Hitler and Stalin were outdone by Mao Zedong. From 1958 to 1962, his Great Leap Forward policy led to the deaths of up to 45 million people—easily making it the biggest episode of mass murder ever recorded.
So how many people did Mao kill? Dikötter estimates that “at least 45 million people between 1958 and 1962” died due to his policies. That number, however, could be as high as 78-80 million. Either way, it means that Mao killed the most people in history.
In Saw III, one of the worst torturous deaths happens to Timothy Young as he's ripped apart by a trap dubbed "The Rack". First, Timothy's right arm gets twisted until it's broken, then his right leg, and finally his neck. It's a terribly slow and hard watch as Timothy begs for his life, but to no avail.
No contest. However if you drop them both in a crowded area and give them each other as the sole target, 47 would win hands down; he would even make it look like an accident. His skillset as an assassin far outshines John Wick's skillset as a cleaner.
This fight, and their other clashes throughout the movie, show that Zero is likely the greatest individual threat that John Wick has ever had to deal with. Zero was also one of the more fun characters in the franchise, with some amusing fight scenes, despite the serious nature of his mission to kill John.
John Wick is the most fearsome assassin in the John Wick universe, with all four films being almost entirely dedicated to building up the fear surrounding Wick as well as the lengths that the assassins will go to get rid of him.
The characters are really weak; Stallone's character seems more like some aimless former soldier than how Rambo was in the previous four movies, the journalist character hardly has anything to do, and the bad guys are really underdeveloped.
John Rambo only kills one person in First Blood, which is a major change from his portrayal in David Morrell's novel of the same name. First Blood debuted in theaters in 1982, with Sylvester Stallone portraying drifter and Vietnam veteran John Rambo.
If the kills in each installment are added together, James Bond has killed 597 people since his first appearance in Dr. No. The count includes the most recent bond film, No Time To Die, which serves as Daniel Craig's bombastic sendoff from portraying 007.
This year's action hit John Wick: Chapter 4 seemed to conclude in a decisively fatal fashion for Keanu Reeves' titular anti-hero. At the end of the film, Reeves' Wick sacrifices himself in a Paris-set gun duel with his old friend Caine, played by Donnie Yen.
John Wick 5 was confirmed to be in early development in May 2023, but you might not want to get too excited about a new movie. In July 2023, Stahelski – who has directed all four John Wick movies to date – said that he didn't know that a fifth movie would happen.
Played by Shamier Anderson, Mr. Nobody, also known as Tracker, is a bounty hunter with his sights set on Keanu Reeves' eponymous assassin, though bides his time taking Wick down until the reward hits a certain point.
