Every Clint Eastwood Movie Death
Here's every time Clint Eastwood has died in a movie. The Dollars trilogy came to define Eastwood's screen persona, as the Man with No Name had little in the way of dialogue and often let his revolver do the talking. Eastwood would refine and build on this persona with later movies like the Dirty Harry films or The Outlaw Josey Wales, and while he played characters with vulnerabilities, he almost always came out on top. That's also reflected in the fact that despite the number of movies he's appeared during his career, he's rarely died onscreen.
This is true of movie stars from just about every era, from John Wayne to Tom Cruise. There's a commonly held belief among studios that audiences hate to see their main characters die, especially when it comes to major stars. Eastwood has mostly held to this rule, and even in thrillers like Blood Work where he technically dies of a heart attack in the opening, he's later brought back to life.
