you may want to call off the funeral
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
faked deaths in movies k2 that chain is
in the bathtub for this list we’re
taking a look at big screen characters
that orchestrate their deaths and go
into hiding
so you’ve experienced this sort of thing
before you get used to it we’re
excluding fake out deaths because we
have another list for that also a
spoiler alert is probably called for
number 10 Nick Parsons double jeopardy I
haven’t felt this good since the day my
husband died what do you do if you want
to get out of your loveless marriage and
make a buttload of cash in the process
take out a life insurance policy fake
your death and frame your wife for the
murder yeah that’s exactly what Nick
Parsons does in double jeopardy killing
two birds with one stone
they’re tough Louisiana Libby you shoot
me they’ll give you the gas chamber no
they won’t
it’s called double jeopardy I learned a
few things in prison Nick as crafty as
Nick is his accused wife catches on to a
staged murder after getting out on
parole six years later she sets out to
hunt Nick down and actually kill him so
what did you do note pay parking tickets
oh no I was convicted of murdering my
husband since she’s already been tried
for the murder
she can’t be reprosecution you gotta
love that fifth amendment I don’t want
to kill you Nick I just want you to
suffer like I suffered number nine
Lieutenant James Gordon the Dark Knight
we got genius
which many people in the Dark Knight
trilogy successfully faked their deaths
including Batman himself at the same
time though the series wasn’t afraid to
kill characters off Commissioner Loeb
dedicated his life to law enforcement
and to the protection of his community
because of this audiences thought that
James Gordon had really bitten the
bullet at Commissioner Loubs funeral
although it seemed like the Joker and
his men had killed Gotham’s most honest
cop it was Gordon who had the last laugh
you do like to play things pretty close
to the chest
we got him Harvey Gordon would
subsequently get a much deserved
promotion
although the Joker still had a few more
tricks up his sleeve see I’m not a
monster
I’m just ahead of the curve I have all
these rules and you think that’ll save
you number eight
John Kramer saw you’re gonna be all
right yeah just in the shoulder John
Kramer is so confident in his fake death
that he lies in front of our
protagonists for the entire running time
of saw first dead body I’ve ever seen
different in real life and don’t move a
cancer patient suffering from a fatal
brain tumor Kramer shows other people
the value of life by making them play
deadly games hello Amanda
you don’t know me but I know you
or what bloody game in order to evade
the authorities he enlists a scapegoat
to throw everybody off track just when
it seems like the jigsaw killer has been
brought to justice the unknown corpse
arises and Kramer reveals himself as the
true criminal mastermind this is no
acting poison coursing through your
system which only I have the antidote
it’s game over for Adam but the game is
just beginning for Kramer most people
are so ungrateful to be alive but not
you not anymore
ah game over
number seven Nick Fury Captain America
the Winter Soldier my friends he’s at
what we are that’s up to you
we can’t believe it
they actually killed off Nick Fury don’t
arrest me we never thought it would
actually happen but a major character in
the Marvel Cinematic Universe got the
axe perhaps we should have seen this
coming with samuel l.jackson x’ contract
expiring and all anybody asks for me
tell them they can find me right
alas fury will be deeply missed and the
MCU will never be quite the same without
oh wait never mind about damn time
turns out Fury is still alive his death
was all a ruse to sabotage Hydra we have
to assume everyone aboard those carriers
is Hydra to get past them insert these
server blades and maybe just maybe we
can salvage what’s we’re not salvaging
anything so it looks like he’ll be
sticking around for several more sequels
crossovers and spin-offs hooray yes you
need to keep both eyes open
number six Sherlock Holmes Sherlock
Holmes a game of shadows a most
dangerous criminal and the foremost
champion of the law of their generation
Sherlock Holmes is truly an immortal
character that will never die in our
popular culture
he’ll also never die in any screen
adaptations Holmes how did you know I
would find didn’t find me you collapse
the building on me
when caught in an inescapable showdown
with Professor Moriarty Holmes sees only
one solution to call for help or to grab
Moriarty and plunge themselves into the
Reichenbach Falls Watson believes his
partner in crime has met his end but
Holmes is sitting right in front of him
the entire time how did he survive the
fall that’s a mystery only Sherlock
Holmes himself could solve although
we’re sure the explanation is quite
elementary a letter was received from
Renee using this same paper of course
they took it with him wherever he went
he’s telling the truth really isn’t here
number five Jim Phelps mission
impossible abort you read me the mission
impossible franchise is full of
undercover secret agents and masters of
deceit with a knack for faking deaths
take Julia’s apparent demise in mi3 for
example no 10 the fake death that
initially took us by surprise however
was Jim Phelps
after seemingly dying in action Phelps
is revealed to be alive and well not
only that but he was the mole who sold
secrets to arms dealers and took the
lives of three IMF agents why what’d you
think about anything it was inevitable
no more cold war we’re almost positive
Phelps is dead for real now however as
it be pretty hard for anyone to come
back from a helicopter explosion number
four Henry Shaw Gondorff and Johnny
Kelly Hooker the sting all right
everybody FBI so Neal a try to leave any
great con man needs to know how to
execute a convincing fake death come on
fine buddy in there a couple of dead
guys in there Julia can get mixed up in
that in the sting Henry Gondorff and
Johnny hooker pull off the biggest con
of their careers with a little help
hello Henry it’s been a long time as FBI
agents raid the parlor it appears that
hooker has stabbed Gondorff in the back
Gondorff subsequently shoots hooker in
the back only to be shot by an FBI agent
gand orphan hooker of played Lonnegan
and the audience for fools however as
they’re staged deaths were all part of
an elaborate ruse it’s good they may be
dishonest but the friendship these men
share is 100% genuine it’s a nice car
Nikki I thought you were the feds myself
when you came in no Trouble Man Reese
neither went for it all the way you
should see the raggy lid under lopping
yeah number three
Laura Williams Bernie sleeping with the
enemy
that was the night that I died and
someone else was saying when you’re
sleeping with the enemy
sometimes simply asking for a divorce
isn’t an option I can’t live without you
I won’t have you live without me packing
up and leaving her controlling husband
isn’t good enough for Laura Bernie
either
coming quickly I’m just killed an
intruder
to escape his abuse she decides to fake
her death by falling overboard at sea
someone who knew there would be one
moment when he wouldn’t be watching
someone who knew that the darkness from
the broken lights would show the way
although her husband believes she can’t
swim Laura makes it to the shore moves
away changes her name and lives happily
ever after that is until her husband
learns the truth to sneaked off
inexplicably
need I remind you how I worry no
you reminded me enough that I’m gonna
came back ya really should have made
sure that wedding ring flushed down the
toilet Laura he may issue an order
instructing me to stay away from my own
life nothing could keep me away number
two
Juliet Capulet Romeo and Juliet Romeo o
Romeo wherefore out thou Romeo
young love doesn’t always work out the
way you’d hoped the same can be said
about fake deaths oh you the doors to
breath
seal with the right kiss kiss knowing
that her family will never approve of
her love for Romeo Juliet drinks a
potion that allows her to mimic her
death dateless bargain
to engrossing death once the potions
effect wear off she plans to reunite
with Romeo and run away with him it
probably would have been smart to inform
Romeo of her plans beforehand though
I think is
and died upon awakening Juliet finds
that her love is committing suicide and
she decides to join him
it makes for a tragically poetic ending
that only Shakespeare could have written
for never was a story of more woe than
this of Juliet and her Romeo before we
get to our top pick here are some
honorable mentions thank you Father
she’s in love with it this addition dia
de sitio CMS an appearance on trial
constitute occ de Parque página sexual
my silver tongue his own essays on
teosinte Adam is one phone I’ll leave it
email would hunt we’re gonna do whatever
we can make it like a buzz
yo will always be it’s my friend Sam I
gotta be going on
come on down doctor now’s not the time
for fear that comes later so I borrowed
a prop from a nearby nursery school
Metro man was finally dead an music man
was born music man that way I could keep
my logo cuz of wad was finally free to
get in touch with my number one James
Bond You Only Live Twice clink a car
Jupiter 16 the fact that this movie is
called You Only Live Twice should tell
you upfront that it entails a fake death
we’ve had some interesting times
together link I’ll be sorry to go being
a secret agent often involves going
undercover for this mission though Mr
Bond needs to go so deep undercover that
he fakes his death in Hong Kong we’re
too late well at least he died on the
job
it appears double-oh-seven has died
doing what he loves most but it was all
part of a ruse so we could spy on the
Japanese oh you must excuse this rather
odd mixture of styles but I refused to
go in Tyler Japanese fake deaths have
since become a staple of James Bond
pictures as with Alec Trevelyan in
Goldeneye nanak back from the dead in
mr. bonds case he’s definitely lived
more than twice I’ve got two now we’ll
enjoy yourself do you agree with our
list who are you working for what fake
big screen death threw you for a loop
you’re not very good at keeping promises
