” Dear Hollywood: Make a big budget The Odyssey starring Sean Bean and all will be forgiven. As in the Greeks who eventually win, but also get the shit killed out of them for quite a while first.īut, if you’ll recall, Odysseus goes on to star in his own story, “The Odyssey. Also, in the briefest of cameos, is Sean Bean, who plays the Greek hero, Odysseus. The not-even-close-to-faithful 2004 adaptation of “The Iliad” features Brad Pitt as Achilles, Eric Bana as Hector and Orlando Bloom as Paris. He’s a kind owner, so you’d expect him to suffer some terrible accident and die, but he’s only in the beginning part of the film, and he quickly sells Black Beauty off to a string of tragic people, which leaves Sean Bean to… keep being a farmer, I guess. He goes through shitty owners, dying owners, nice owners who have to sell him due to extenuating circumstances and so on.Īnd his original owner is, of course, Sean Bean. Terrible things happen constantly to the narrator-horse, the eponymous Black Beauty. And since it’s a serious family film about animals, you know what that means – one emotionally overwrought scene after another, with plenty of humans (and horses) dying sad little deaths. If you’ll cast your mind back to 1994, you might remember Black Beauty, based on the book of the same name. Once again, he didn’t appear in the sequel, so if he died, it was offscreen and no one mentioned it. Sean Bean gets arrested, but after that, nada. Nicolas Cage fools Sean Bean with a fake clue and sends him running off to Boston, then calls the FBI on him afterward. They race and fight and backstab and trick each other, and finally, at the climax of the movie… Sean Bean’s right-hand man dies. Nicolas Cage has to steal the Declaration of Independence (but only for noble purposes, of course) before Sean Bean can do it. They find the lightning and return it, Sean Bean says thanks, and doesn’t show back up for the sequel.
Since Zeus is played by Sean Bean and he threatens war if he doesn’t get the lightning back, it seems like a final showdown where the Father of the Gods gets his ass kicked seems likely…īut nope, it never happens.

In this, the inaugural film in the Percy Jackson series (which does not have a promising future, since it’s a YA series that wasn’t an immediate and massive hit), Percy and his friends are on the hunt for Zeus’ missing lightning. Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief

He just walks away, free to pilot another day, much to our confusion.Ħ. When the real bad guy threatens to blow up the plane, Sean Bean and the rest of the crew get off and don’t figure into the plot for the rest of the film. But come on! Sean Bean is almost always the bad guy!Įxcept this time he’s not. But anyway, Jodie Foster is out to solve the case of her missing daughter on a plane captained by Sean Bean. There’s an old urban legend about the lady in Paris whose mother disappears. The Lady Vanishes features a lady vanishing. Hasn’t that happened in a lot of different media? The Forgotten with Julianne Moore had the son who never existed. Jodie Foster stars in a mystery/thriller where her daughter disappears and maybe never existed at all. Naturally, this list contains spoilers of a guy not meeting his maker. I found a mere seven that most people would have actually heard of.
A friend of mine recently described him as “a walking spoiler” because if he’s in a movie, there’s an excellent chance that he’s going to get shot, stabbed, beheaded or poisoned before it’s all over.īut surely, I thought, there must be some films in his acting credits where he doesn’t have a dramatic death scene.
It’s such a common occurrence that you can easily find dozens of lists of all the movies where he dies, rankings of each death and YouTube video compilations where he shuffles off his mortal coil repeatedly. Or maybe it’s not a problem, because he’s really good at it.
