Several people chimed in on the Do Black Guys Die First? post. Thanks to the following commenters: Kimi, Johnny Wishbone, Afrodite, Caesar Cannon, Orville, SONGi, and LaJane Galt.
Some people pointed out that women die perhaps as often as males. Interesting. When I was writing the post, I didn’t even think of females. I seemed to notice this more often with males. But the readers pointed out otherwise.
Anyway, here’s what they added:
The Last Boy Scout – Halle Berry
3000 Miles to Graceland
Kill Bill – Vivica Fox
The Transformers – the ONLY black voiced autobot was killed
Happy Gilmore – Carl Weathers
The Longest Yard – Chris Rock
Jurassic Park
Freddy vs. Jason – Kelly Rowland
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer – Brandy
SAW II – Glenn Plummer
LaJane says, “the Aliens Franchise was brutal for minorities,” as was Charles Bronson’s Death Wish Series.
Thanks, guys.

Just thought of one more - Jada Pinkett Smith - didn't she die first in one of the Scream movies, along with Mekhi Pfifer?

I STILL can't believe Happy Gilmore. I love that movie, but didn't question the need to kill Carl. He already had a fake arm!

I was going to say Police Academy (*scrapes barrel*) but then saw you said "big name".
