why doesnt ll cool j...
 
ever die in movies?? i know i havent seen ALL his movies but every time he seems to always get away and be one of the few who survives at the end.

does he have a clause in his contracts saying he cant die? or does he get killed off in a few movies that i havnet seen. maybe im just way off but it just seems like he always survives.

Spoiler:
and i just saw mindhunters last night

They can't afford to sacrifice his star-power and charisma.

You know who else rarely dies in movies? Woody Allen.

He's too cool to die...

Tom Cruise has only died once.

I'm assuming it depends on the contents of what's been written in the script, whether or not, his character is demised in the film.

Hey, there was time when "the black guy" <i>always</i> died. :lol:

Because he never wears the red uniform.

So is it safe to assume that he survives at the end of Edison Force? Will Morgan Freeman survive?

You know there's this thing called a script that actors get to read before they sign on for a part, right? Well maybe before Mr. LL signs on the dotted line, he intentionally chooses roles where he doesn't die. Or maybe it's a crapshoot. :shrug:

I had heard he had a clause in his contract for

to ensure that he didn't die.

You know, I was cool with all his escapes in the film except for the last one.
Spoiler:
After the last shark gobbled up the doc so quickly, you'ld assume it would have don the same with LL. Heck, even the other sharks killed most of the other cast members in less time than it took for LL to think of using his cross to stab out the sharks eye.
That aside, I still enjoy the film as a guilty pleasure.

Didn't

Laurie Strode kill his character and not Myers at the end of Halloween H20?
I am pretty sure that is the case.

No, she killed some random guy. The ambulance driver, I believe.

Oops. You are right, even though I have been thinking he died for years. You kill him off in your mind, and he comes right back. LL is just Hard to Kill.

The short black spoiler line kinda gave this one away, or maybe i'm just too big of a Tom Cruise fan and i just never realized it
