Most killings in a film

[Stav]

Which film has the most killings in it? Is there an official body count? (Not counting the crappy one in Hot Shots!). I saw a war film made by John Woo the other day, which had loads in it!!

Not sure this counts. But if you take into consideration the overall film story then I reckon it could quite possibly be Schindler's List.

I remember a while back that in the guiness book of records the most violent film ever was Red Dawn featuring a young Charlie Sheen and Patrick Swayze

What about the original Star Wars film? The Death Star destroyed an entire planet (Alderaan I think), so that's got to be a fair few people and err...rubbery animal things killed.

Red Dawn's not violent! It's one of the worst films ever made and a terrible ham fisted attempt to educate the US people about the dangers of the horrible baby-eating communists, but that's about it!

If implied deaths (e.g. exploding planets) don't count, I think the record is currently held by John Woo's 'A Better Tomorrow II'. The on screen body count is easily in the hundreds, largely due to the twenty minutes of absolute carnage that conclude the film. It's spectacular. Link: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0094357

At one point it was Peckinpah's the Wild Bunch, however that was made in 69'. More recently it might be A john woo (hong kong) film. Red Dawn is also a possibility.

Apparantly, the film with the most number of killngs is Die Hard 2 when a plane crashes after receiving false information from it's on board flight computer. This was actually in the Guiness Book Of Records.
