Fate Has Not Been Kind: Top Ways Steve Buscemi Has Come To A Grisly End In Film

It's a slow afternoon here at Planet Sad (but then when isn't it?), so we decided we'd ring up Steve Buscemi - you know, the shifty-looking one from Ghost World, The Big Lebowski and Things To Do In Denmark When You're Deaf (or whatever it's called) - and quiz him on a career which has mostly involved playing minor hoods who bleed to death in an amusing way. He was out - shopping down Thurrock, probably - so while Freda's gone to stand in his front garden till he gets back, here's a list of some of his most notable film exits. This list may contain spoilers, but do you think we care?

1) Fed into a wood chopper in Fargo

2) Beaten to the 'slow leakage of innards' role in Reservoir Dogs by Tim Roth

3) Offed by Treat Williams and his eff-off great shotgun in Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead

4) Spends £10 million-worth of the Mafia's money on drugs and whores (as you do) then, just when you think he's bound to buy the farm, remarkably survives to face the wrath of the Mob in Armageddon

'What did you expect me to do? Invest it in an ISA?'

5) Prison sentence for crimes against non-metal fans in Airheads
6) Driven slowly berserk over a very long period of time (mostly by dwarves) in Living In Oblivion
7) Murdered by Vince Vaughan for being a bit sleazy, really, in Domestic Disturbance
8) Takes two of Danny Trejo’s throwing knives in the vitals in Desperado, though it's likely he'd already been mortally wounded by Danny's murderous glare
9) Gets away unscathed in Con Air, just for all those of you who complain that he always comes to a nasty end...
