they’re not quite dead yet
nimble little minx finchy welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten
fake out deaths in movies ten for this
list we’re taking a look at big screen
characters that were supposedly
permanently dead but turned out to still
be alive
we’re excluding characters that
purposely faked their deaths because we
have another list for that also a
spoiler alert is probably called for
number 10 Harry Potter Harry Potter and
the Deathly Hallows part-2 I’m ready to
die
as the Harry Potter series came to its
epic conclusion many fans had one
question on their minds would Harry make
it out alive
does it hurt dying in a shocking turn of
events it’s revealed that our hero is a
Horcrux and must sacrifice himself to
defeat Voldemort Harry Potter
the boy who live
come to die as the Dark Lord casts the
avada kedavra spell it appears there’s
no going back
upon arriving in limbo however Harry
finds that this was all part of
Dumbledore’s master plan Voldemort has
the elder one true and the snakes still
alive yeah
after a bittersweet reunion with his
mentor Harry returns to his body for one
last duel with Voldemort Harry truly
lives up to his title as the Boy Who
Lived
number nine sergeant James Bucky Barnes
Captain America the First Avenger we
only got about 10 second window you
missed that window
we’re bugs on a windshield there seems
to be a rule in superhero movies that
every heroes best friend either needs to
tragically die or live long enough to
see himself become the villain it’s me
he’s Dean come on I thought you did
saw your smaller Steve Rogers isn’t able
to save his pal Bucky during a train
assault as he plummets to his apparent
death since this is a Marvel movie
however no major characters stay dead
why where we going future about 70 years
later Captain America once again crosses
paths with Bucky who’s been brainwashed
into becoming the Winter Soldier okey
who the hell is Bucky
this revelation comes as a major blow to
Rogers who was just starting a new
bromance with Falcon you know me no I
number eight Marty McFly back to the
future part three Marty McFly certainly
knows how to fake his audience out first
he pulled that stunt on the roof and
back to the future part two
then in the following sequel he took us
by surprise yet again what’s your name
dude
Marc Eastwood Clint Eastwood who got a
stupid name is Ed during a standoff with
Mad Dog Tannen Marty attempts to take
the high road Mad Dog isn’t willing to
live and let live however and fires on
his unarmed opponent I thought we could
settle this like men
you thought wrong dude lucky for Marty
he’s picked up a few tricks by watching
Old Spaghetti Westerns starring Clint
Eastwood Marty doesn’t kill Tannen but
he does appropriately knock him out into
a wagon of manure running gags that’s
good number seven Gandalf the Grey the
Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of the
Ring
the Lord of the Rings is a franchise of
numerous fake out deaths and none had a
greater impact on us than Gandalf the
greys some of you may be thinking that
Gandalf does not belong on this list
since he technically did fall to his
demise in the Fellowship of the Ring
cover your food it was undeniably a
tearful death that left everybody
devastated thing is though he comes back
alive and well in the two towers as
Gandalf the White you are tracking the
footsteps of two young hobbits in our
books being resurrected still counts as
deceiving the audience show yourself
in any case we’re just glad Gandalf
lived to fight another day I have a
pacifier and death to bandage kid words
with a witless worm number six Karl die
hard okay mother Karl isn’t your average
throw away movie henchmen as he sought
vengeance for the death of his younger
brother Karl and John McClane ultimately
have a thrilling fight and while McClane
beats karl to a bloody pulp Karl knows
how to take the punishment we’re both
professionals this is personal although
their confrontation ultimately appears
to have Karl hung out to dry he somehow
resurfaces in the end to take one last
shot at McClane property damage
interfering with police business in the
midst of all the mayhem however sergeant
al Powell steps up and triumphantly
redeems himself
huh carl winslow killed another guy
named carl how do you like that
number five
Mardi Makowski the cabin in the woods
clear stop here the cabin in the woods
has a ton of fun with similar horror
tropes and archetypes just remember that
guy was a trout
what have you been up to in another
movie Marty Mackowski would just be the
stoner loser who bites the dust
early on I dare you to make out with
anything
that moose over there I’m Marty have you
ever seen a moose before at first it
looks like that’s exactly what happens
to him as he’s dragged away by zombies
my parents free I think I’m such a
burner just when it appears that the
movies wrapping up however Marty comes
back with a vengeance and sets out to
take down the big bad facility hi
not bad for a human sacrifice everybody
labeled as the fool I’m so sorry I was
shot you I probably wouldn’t have hey I
totally kid number 4 Billy Loomis scream
don’t you blame the movies movies don’t
create psychos movies make psychos poor
creation before there was the cabin in
the woods there was this meta horror
movie like scary huh
what’s your favorite scary I don’t know
scream cleverly keeps the audience
guessing about whether or not Billy
Loomis really is ghost face I don’t
really believe in motive Sid I mean did
norman bates have a motive no did they
ever really decided why hannibal lecter
like to you people don’t think so after
getting stabbed to death by the masked
killer
it seems that Billy is no longer a
suspect
Sidney Billy what down
his murder was all staged however with
corn syrup substituting for blood hmm
corn sir same stuff these four pig’s
blood and carry eventually Billy is
taken out for real or is he after all
the killer always comes back for a final
scare not in Sidney’s movie though
careful this is the moment when the
supposedly dead killer comes back to
life for one last scare number three the
t800 The Terminator I’ll be back the
Terminator would not be The Terminator
if he were so easily terminated get out
blowing up in a truck may completely
burn off the t800 flesh but that’s not
about to stop him from completing his
mission
rising out of the rubble the
endoskeleton continues to pursue our
heroes into a factory where Kyle blows
them up again with another pipe bomb so
now the t800 is dead right nope
his torso keeps hunting Sarah until he’s
flattened in a hydraulic press you’re
terminated
so now the t800 is dead right
well yeah but a storm is still coming
and it absolutely will not stop ever
until you are dead number two Alex
Forrest fatal attraction you won’t
answer my calls you change your number I
mean I’m not gonna be ignored Dan even
when she appears to be dead Alex Forrest
will not be ignored your stupid speech
in an intense bathtub role Dan holds his
stalker underwater and drowns her
Alex takes her last breath dan and the
audience are finally able to rest easy
oh no alex is still alive look out Dan
she’s got a knife whoo
it’s okay Beth came prepared with a gun
if you ever come to my family again I’ll
kill you you understand many critics
argued that fatal attraction should have
stuck with its alternate ending of Alex
killing herself in an attempt to frame
Dan
instead of going the slasher movie
fake-out route admit it though this
scene never fails to make you jump out
of your seat don’t you ever be festive
before we get to our top pick here are
some honorable mentions
number one Freddy Krueger a Nightmare on
Elm Street classic horror movie monsters
like Freddy Krueger never die no
seriously they never die i star then
he’s got the main character can figure
out Freddy’s weakness confront their
fears and seemingly overcome the villain
in the end however Freddy’s never gonna
stop coming for you it makes for an
immortal ending to a Nightmare on Elm
Street as Freddy lets Nessie know that
he’s still out there
Freddy might have pulled the rug out
from under us this time but there’s no
way he’ll fake us out again in any of
the sequels remakes or crossovers do you
agree with our list
what big screen fake out death caught
you off guard
don’t worry nobody dies in this story
they just get really big boo-boos
