Does he always die the same?


I only watched him "die" (shot) two times in a film, and both times he dies the same way, with his hands up and fingers kinda clawed (just like in Silence of the Lambs). Is it some sort of trademark or something, maybe just a coincidence?

He got burnt alive in The Hills Have Eyes

Guess you missed that movie

thanks for ruining the movie for me.

I actually just looked him up because I had the same exact question. In Silence of the Lambs, Heat, and The Hills Have Eyes, he dies the same way with his hands in the dead bug pose. My best guess is that it's an homage to SOTL, but then again, I haven't seen his earlier movies.

its a remake anyways. i believe after a movie has been out a certain amout of time, you can give away spoilers.

well he died the same way in the gun fight/ bank heist scene in heat, on the floor with his hands and arms in a strange position, claw handed sort of thing. maybe it is just a coincidence

reply

He also died in Nowhere to Run the same way to.

Maybe Ted is a giant bug.


What clichés? Thats a word the wannabe critics use when they want to whinge.

Same with "Death Train" (1993) ...
