Poor Bastards of Cinema: Eraser

Arnold Schwarzenegger films are known for lots and lots of people dying on-screen.  In Eraser, however, we get a pair or real Poor Bastards of Cinema.

The first involves our heroine talking to her friend on the phone...

Her friend is a Reporter and vows to help break the story that is being covered up.  What happens to her?

She's killed off-screen, her death mentioned to Arnold as an after-thought.  Nice!

The second is our heroine's ex-husband, who shows up and acts like a dick.  However, he doesn't deserve this...

...shot from a railgun to the chest!  That's gonna hurt, but he might be ok....

...ay.  No, he's dead.  He's very dead.  Sucks to be you!

Did either of them deserve their deaths?  One was trying to do her job and help friend, while the other was being a jerk.  Last time I checked, they didn't give the Death Penalty for being a jerk!

Next up, the world's toughest janitor meets a grisly fate.  Who will clean up the mess now?!?  Stay tuned...
