It's time to smear some ketchup over your chest as we pay our respects to cinema's attempts at playing dead
Jesus Christ, William Wallace, Bambi's mother. A great movie death can haunt many a young fan. It can also haunt many a studio executive, an elegant freeze frame here, a great franchise opportunity dead there. Don't believe me? Check out this disaster.
But if you yearn to harness the power of a screen death, yet want to avoid the messy inconvenience of the loss of a protagonist there is an alternative: fake it.
