Thought The Last Samurai was going to be a few spots higher. I guess how grisly the deaths were inflated the number for me.
Interesting how that list is littered with films in the 2000-2008 time frame but almost nothing since.

I'm interested in the body counts for The Lord of the Rings movies. I've never watched a single one of those movies all the way through, but aren't most of the deaths that of Orc's (yes, I had to look that up to even know what they were called)? Do those really count?
I think the key is "on screen" deaths, or the big apocalypse movies would dominate the chart.
I didn't see Total Recall (Arnold version). I recall when it was released, the media made a big deal about the body count in it. They also made a big deal about Die Hard 2's body count (and counted the deaths of the passengers of Chief O'Brien's crashed plane.)
Tangent: who has had the beer "Fully Hopperational Battlestation"? Probably the best name for anything ever.
there is no way that Lord of the Rings is that low if they are counting Orc deaths. The scene right after the ring is thrown into the fire, the ground splits and thousands of orcs die.
The Tolkien and CS Lewis movie adaptations are insanely over the top violent considering the creators claimed to be delivering moral religious and/or nature conservative messages. The hobbit and narnia are intended for children and the movies have more killing than the Rambo movies. I love the Lotr adaptations but the fighting and killing embellishment is the most unwarranted changes from the book.
I agree that the movies went overboard with that, though in a war where there is a clear delineation of good vs evil, the death of evil could be considered moral.
If the movies focused on things the books focus on there would be ten minutes of screen time on a flower or something stupid and two minutes on a battle scene, and it would have flopped tremendously. I still think they hit on the preservation of nature and Tolkien's anti-industrial views well for the movies being mostly action.
What the...I just saw Shutter Island on there and it says 171. Where in the world are there 171 deaths in that movie?? Is it the Holocaust scene??
Outside of the bridal party, the Crazy 88's (most of whom survived missing limbs), Beatrix's former associates, and Bill, how many deaths were there exactly?
It was an extremely bloody movie, but not nearly as deadly as you think.
