Eraser: Robert Deguerin (James Caan)

Comments for death : Eraser: Robert Deguerin (James Caan).

I have added the "Master / Pupil" category to this death, as much is made throughout the film about Deguerin being Kruger's mentor.

It is worth noting that minutes before the death (for the audience), there is a fight between the two atop a cargo container hanging from a crane, that would have qualified for "One on One", "Falling" and "Crushed by Falling Object".
And before that there is a skirmish aboard an airplane where Kruger "nails" him with a ("cheap hunk of metal" throwing knife, this qualifying for "Projectile" too.

However, in plot terms, these injuries were meted out quite some time before the final death, so it is fair enough that they aren't included. I only mention them to point out that the script writers were still playing the "death scene by numbers" game, or as Mouseburger is fond of saying, they were "ticking all the boxes".

Also, this film deserves a special mention for one of the weakest final lines:
Vanessa Williams: "What happened to them?"
Arnie: "They caught a train"

Admirers of the rather attractive Vanessa Williams in this film would probably enjoy doing a Google image search for her before she was famous...

Another mention goes to the song playing over the end credits - "Caught A Train".

You might want to make a page for Undersecretary of Defense Daniel Harper (Andy Romano). I can't confirm the 3rd passenger, so I'll get back on that.

Johnny Castelone (Robert Pastorelli) is technically the killer, as he parks the limo over the tracks.

A note might be made about the UK version - in the 15 certificate version, you don't see them get hit. When Robert looks out the window, it cuts to Krueger going to Cullen. Seriously.

The third guy was a fellow named Morehart. He worked in some capacity at the weapons lab.

Ah, him, played by Gerry Becker.

"Death Trap"?

Its not "hollywood" it normally takes at least a mile for a train to stop

Run over?

Yeah I watched the 15 rated English version and the death really is cut a lot. It took me ages to get my hands on the proper version so I could see this death in its full glory! By the way, shouldn't Combustion be added here? I mean, the car does go up in flames when it gets hit.
