Sean Bean's On-Screen Deaths in Films
00:00:19
Speaker
Why can't you just be a good boy and die? You're fast.
00:00:30
Speaker
We're here to cast and kill the lovely Sean Bean in a movie that we just released an episode on after reviewing it. It's 2002's British Amer- oh no, not British America, what am I doing? 2002's British action-horror film Dog Soldiers, or as I like to call it, Soldier Dogs, and I'm gonna keep saying that to piss spaz off.
00:00:54
Speaker
This is going to be fun. I came up with a couple quite detailed experiences where Sean Meade could meet his fine end.
Live Show and Listener Engagement
00:01:04
Speaker
I'd totally like to invite you to chime in as well. But we are officially live on Bullhorn. So those, I see five listeners tuning in. Welcome. Kind of give a summary, so why are we doing this? Well, because Sean Bean is known for his dramatic on-screen deaths in almost every movie, TV show, and video game he's a part of. And I have to share my favorite death, which we've talked about a couple times, but didn't really say what movie it's from.
00:01:29
Speaker
But the movie The Field, and I wouldn't be surprised if you've never heard of it because it's a 1990 Irish drama. And just reading the plot and reading through the story, it's incredibly depressing. However, we are blessed with one of the most incredible death scenes of all time.
00:01:47
Speaker
involving Sean Bean and basically Sean Bean's father in this film he kinda goes mad after I believe one of his sons dies and he's like a rancher on this plot of land aka the field and he goes mad and he decides he's just gonna kill his cows so he just scares him and has him like running towards the end of this cliff
Animal Scenes in Films: Legal or Not?
00:02:07
Speaker
Anyway, Sean Bean's up there and he's trying to stop his dad from, you know, killing all these cows and just trying to help him from just losing his mind. However, Sean Bean ends up cornered by this, you know, rampaging cattle coming right toward him and eventually pushes him off the cliff where he plummets to his death
00:02:31
Speaker
And you also get a scene where some cows and some sheep are also falling down the cliff. It's really, um, I was wondering how they filmed this legally without killing, uh, these animals. But then I thought, oh, this is an Irish film. They could probably get away with it back in 1990, but I don't know. Either way, Sean Bean gets pushed off a cliff by cows and dies. That's one of my favorite ways we've, we've, uh, we've known him to go.
00:02:55
Speaker
We're doing this to help Sean Bean earn that record for the most on-screen deaths, and we're here to show Hollywood where they missed in every opportunity. So Mr. Spaz, I saw you wanted to call in. You still want to chat? You dare talk to me? And everyone else? The five people listening?

00:03:43
Speaker
If you tap on that chat icon and in the corner there's a question mark or a question tab, click on the question tab, leave your thoughts on how you think Sean Bean would die in a werewolf movie. And make sure to keep it short because there's only a limited amount of characters so think like a tweet or something like that, just keep it concise.
Caller Spaz and Varied Topics
00:04:04
Speaker
And we'll present it on the screen and I'll make sure to contact you and get you hooked up with some, some free swag. Before I jump into this crazy nonsense. How you doing spaz? I'm good buddy. How are you? I'm doing fantastic. Welcome to the show. Welcome to your show. Glad to be here. It's such a pleasure talking with you. Isn't it? Yeah, dude. You're great. Oh, well thank you. We got, we got everybody.
00:04:33
Speaker
Well, not everybody. Is Nikki there, too? You know, I don't know. She said she was going to join. I'm going to trust that she's there. Nikki's being terrible. She doesn't want to be told to F off and mute again. No. No, but I still want that T-shirt. Indeed. So Spaz, dog soldier, is he still? We talked about it in the episode we just released. You still? Yep. Still love it? Oh, yeah. Best world movie of all time, man. The best of all time.
00:05:03
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Oh, it is. Werewolf movies? Yes, for sure. Chris had it right. And apparently, well, obviously, Chris knows everything there is to know about this movie because he just went ham on it. He did.
00:05:21
Speaker
Got a full history lesson. Yeah. Yeah, we did. I mean, I didn't, I was looking shit up and I didn't read half the shit he was talking about. I was like, damn. That was the most correct attention that he paid to preparing for the show ever. It's, it's amazing what happens when he actually, when he likes a movie or he buys the director's cut of the movie and watches everything about it before doing a podcast.
00:05:48
Speaker
dedicated to at least one episode. Yes, absolutely. But yeah, no, this is a great movie. And I thought we were talking about Grease 2. And I'm sorry, that's why I joined this. Oh, do you want to kill Sean Bean in Grease 2? No, I want Grease 2 to burn in hell. No, I'm just kidding. Watch out the cool writers gonna come for you. No, I know, man. And
00:06:17
Speaker
thy name be Selena. She's very happy that you did that though. So I didn't do what she asked me to do, which is funny. It doesn't matter. She thought it was hilarious that you were just so angry. I think she took pleasure in your pain. She took pleasure in my pain for like the last two months after she did this. That's right. Request. She was waiting.
00:06:43
Speaker
And she was biding her time for sure and that's, that's no joke. Spaz, do you have any thoughts on where some crazy guy like Sean Bean would die in Dog Soldiers? Dude, Sean Bean can die in like almost any part of this movie. From the beginning, he could be one of the campers who is about to get laid and, oh wait.
00:07:05
Speaker
I have this silver dagger in my hand, but I'm not going to freaking use it. Okay. Makes a lot of sense. He can get blown up by the truck after, uh, well, obviously after explodes when the werewolves destroyed like the front of it, took the engine out and all that crap. I mean, there's just so many areas of this movie that you could just have a blast killing this man. It's awesome.
00:07:31
Speaker
Oh, I know. I almost thought like one of the scenes where they, um, they drive the truck into like the barn to blow it up. Like they miss, they misjudge it and the truck like goes off course and just like goes down the road. Just, he's just walking and just gets nailed. Yeah. So there's, uh, who is that? Oh, is that Sean B? Why the hell is he walking down this road where nothing's on it? Oh, you know, he wants to hear some noises. It's coming to help out.
00:07:58
Speaker
Because that's what Sean does. He cares about other people. He never shows it, but he's a caring lad. Oh, he likes to kill people. Yeah. Yeah, but in the end, he gets his
Creative Death Scenarios for Sean Bean
00:08:09
Speaker
ass caught, so it equals out.
00:08:12
Speaker
It does. Like three or four ways of killing him? I have three, yes. I took some time to write out little paragraphs because that's what I do. Yes, yes. It's true. And while you're here, Spaz, I actually have one for you. Oh, God, here we go. So let me read this one, my first one, and I'll let you go.
00:08:31
Speaker
I gotta hear your reaction. Okay, go ahead. So Sean Bean is named Private Frank S. Fitzgerald and he's a sniper extraordinaire whose hobbies include birdwatching. He is deployed with Cooper's team in the training exercise when they set up camp for the night and they sit around that fire and swap stories. Private Frank is cleaning his rifle as he does every night and he's looking around the Scottish Highlands trying to identify some of the birdsong he's hearing.
00:08:57
Speaker
He can't decide if it's a greater spotted woodpecker or a crested tit he's hearing when suddenly he sees a cow flying through the air, hurling straight towards him. Before he can react, he is crushed by 1,600 pounds of airborne bovine. And the reason why I said that was for you is because I picked the two birds that I saw. I did some research here. I was like, what kind of birds are in the Scottish Highlands? And when I saw a woodpecker and crested tit, I knew it was for you. That is a beautiful thing, Tim.
00:09:27
Speaker
That is a beautiful thing. Just for you. Happy birthday. Ah, I appreciate it, man. That's an early Christmas gift. Oh, there you go. And I love it. Your Halloween treat, if you will. Ah, there we go. Yes. My Thanksgiving dinner crested tit. That's what it was, right? A crested tit? Or was it a crested woodpecker? I can't remember what it was. It was a crested tit. All right, I'll take it. It's a little bird with a crest on its chest.
00:09:55
Speaker
Okay, so you have to have, like, 80 of them to make a dinner. Gotcha. We got a nice pie. Yeah, all right. All right. I can... Meat pies are delicious. I'm saving that quote. Dude, come on. It's a nice dish for the people across the pond. Meat pies. Yes. It is what it is. It's good. I believe I heard it in Sweeney Todd. The lady was making meat pies for everyone. Oh, yeah.
00:10:24
Speaker
Of the people, yes. That's a movie I haven't seen in a long time. I don't know if it's worth watching again. I think we should. We think so. That'd be a good one to kill a zombie in and probably. Yeah, but it'd be too easy. This movie is easy.
00:10:36
Speaker
Yeah, but it's just, there's only like eight characters in the entire film. So. Yeah, but I mean, you can have Sasha Barrett Corbin's, uh, character kill Sean Bean and Sweeney Todd. That'd be awesome. By singing? Exactly. He hits an octave and shatters a glass in it. Exactly. You see? You got it, man. You gotta be sure. Shut up, Terry. Sweeney Todd's awesome. Well, Spaz, thanks for calling in. I'll, uh, I'll let you go. All right.
00:11:04
Speaker
Enjoy your evening. Thanks for tuning in and we'll see you this weekend when we take a look at Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. Wait, that's this weekend? Just kidding. I'll talk to you Saturday, man. Right. Take it easy, Spaz. Yep, you too. See, look how easy it is. You could just jump in and join me for a chat. It doesn't have to be about anything special. We could talk Halloween.
00:11:28
Speaker
That's all right. So let's share my other ways of killing Sean Bean in this one. So to set the stage, the very beginning of this film, we kind of talked about it. It starts out with these two people camping, and they're kind of celebrating an event, and they start going to crazy town, and all of a sudden they get attacked by these werewolves. And you don't really see anything. It's just kind of that, ooh, what?
00:11:53
Speaker
what killed these guys, and it just cuts to the main character. So I have Sean Bean actually joining those two on their romantic getaway as kind of the third wheel. He's the friend that, I don't know, maybe there was supposed to be another girl going with them, but she had to cancel last minute, and he still wanted to go on this trip, so he's just kind of tagging along, kind of that awkward friend. So, you know, once the couple decides they wanted some sexy alone time, Sean rolls his eyes and goes out for a walk,
00:12:22
Speaker
to give them a little bit of space. So suddenly he hears screaming and goes running back to camp only to find it shredded in pieces with blood everywhere and he just sees these eyes barreling down on him. He has no idea what it is but he just starts running. He's running towards the road when he comes across a car driving right down that road and he weighs it down and he jumps in and they speed away.
00:12:44
Speaker
And he learns that the driver of that car is none other than zoologist Megan, who I think this was Carrie's character. What was she? Um, a murderous box zoologist. Do I have that right? Someone correct me. But anyway, this zoologist Megan and you just kind of see them drive off and then it kind of cuts over to the rest of the film. So this
00:13:05
Speaker
Once you kind of see the shock or the twist at the end is spoiler alert, Megan is actually a werewolf and she also picked up these soldiers and took them back to the house and ends up getting them all killed. And also my thought was you just see her rescuing Sean running and it cuts away.
00:13:23
Speaker
You only find out later. She was aware of all the time so Sean must have died so we're killing we're killing Sean Bean But we're not showing it on camera that whole elusive. I wonder what happened to this guy Thing so that's one of my one of my ways of killing Sean in this one Oh, what are you guys talking about you guys are fighting? No shocking spaz and Carrie going at it
00:13:45
Speaker
So I have a question actually posted in the in the room just getting started and It was a question about what is your favorite horror movie monster? I have werewolves zombies clowns or vampires I'm curious for those that are tuned in live, which is your favorite? I
00:14:07
Speaker
what's a good movie monster that really kind of creeps you out or or is always good good fodder for film so go ahead and jump in there and vote the common one you see all the time now are zombies i think everyone's trying to ride that train and it's just wearing thin on a lot of people but it's still a still a good good creature for these films like werewolves are always fun if they do it right which oftentimes they don't clowns i don't know i feel like
00:14:34
Speaker
Aside from it, are there good clowns? Can anyone do a clown besides it? Or just clowns in general scary, it doesn't matter what they're in. And then you got vampires, trusty vampires. It could either be sexy vampires or evil, just creepy. Most of the time they're sexy vampires I feel like. The only time you see like the really gruesome, gory,
00:14:55
Speaker
kind of creepy looking vampires or something like, um, what's that Will Smith movie? It's, I can't think of the name of it anymore. Uh, someone can correct me, but anyway, uh, so we got three votes split between zombies, clowns and vampires. Yeah. Oh, Pennywise. Yeah. You're all about Pennywise. Uh, so yeah, it's a lot of, a lot of good creatures.
00:15:17
Speaker
But alright, let's jump into my third and final way that Sean Bean would die in Soldier Dogs. So we got Sean Bean. He retains his role as Private Frank. But, in this one, he actually survives that flying cow assault. So on the squad, once the squad is attacked by these werewolves and everyone starts running, realizing what they're up against,
00:15:41
Speaker
You know, you have action hero Bruce, a.k.a. Usain Bolt II, and he's running through the woods with such speed that he manages to impale himself on a four-inch diameter branch through the middle of his torso, through and through, with about a foot or so of the branch sticking out of his back. And we joked about this in the movie review that we did is like, at what velocity does he have to be traveling?
00:16:08
Speaker
for a branch to pierce human skin, organs, all that, and actually come out the other end. I don't think it's possible. You have to be launched. But I digress. I guess it's a good horror killing. But anyway, so he's like stuck on this branch and dying, and then he gets slashed by a...
00:16:27
Speaker
a werewolf. Private Frank, who sees Bruce take the easy way out, he decides he's going to turn the gun on himself and just end it. But before he can pull the trigger, a werewolf grabs him by the throat and lifts him into the air, staring deep into his eyes.
00:16:47
Speaker
Gasping for breath, you know, Private Frank, he slowly raises his handgun to the wolf's head. And of course he says, for England James? To which the werewolf surprisingly responds, no, for me. Which leaves Private Frank a little confused before he is ripped in half. So there you go. I had to throw some golden eye action into that one and have a
Show Dynamics and Movie Discussions
00:17:09
Speaker
talking werewolf. We need more talking werewolves. So that's number three. You guys aren't even listening in the chat. You guys are just, just arguing.
00:17:19
Speaker
but that's fine that's the way the show goes if only i release these episodes that we record for the movie reviews without touching them up at all i don't think we'd have any listeners a lot of time that's fighting arguing stupid shit being said it's just it's all over the place but um... i do spend a fair amount of time trying to clean up the nonsense but it's fun i love talking to you guys and and doing movies and reminiscing about the past and watching
00:17:48
Speaker
Shitty movies to a point, but it's time to do some good ones. So from here on out, nothing but good movies. So we're approaching the Christmas season. After all this Halloween nonsense, we gotta do some fun festive movies and give Dana her robot movie. We gotta figure this one out. I feel like we did that survey.
00:18:06
Speaker
Like five months ago, about 80s robots, we need to knock this out and spin that wheel so Carrie can do her chant she's been practicing for about a year. That's for a later time. And Carrie's already ready for her robot. And Spaz has no idea, shocking. He'll wing it last minute, which is not surprising at Spaz for you. Well, anyway, I think that's all I have to say, guys. Thanks a lot for tuning in. Really appreciate everyone that jumps into these live shows.
00:18:33
Speaker
We're, I think we only have a couple left. We have one we'll do kind of as a pre-show for Tucker and Dale. I might have one more scheduled in the near future. Someone's trying to figure out a Sean Bean episode with me. And then, I mean, we're almost at Halloween. We might do something for Devil's Night. I have no idea. We talked about it, but it didn't make any plans. So we'll see. If you guys want us to do more, just let me know.
00:18:59
Speaker
But thank you again for tuning in. This is always fun to cast and kill Sean Bean in a movie and Dog Soldiers is no exception. Our views on this film were a little split between whether it was good or not. You know, I think it's just your flavor.
00:19:12
Speaker
But it's always kind of cool to explore these cult classic movies and Chris gave a great breakdown of the things that really made this movie what it is. Some of the great behind the scenes moments and the reason for certain things and some of the lore or the background that I think if it was explained better could have made the movie even better. But sometimes that's what happens with these smaller budget films.
Conclusion and Promotions
00:19:37
Speaker
But that is that. So thanks again for tuning in. Head out to OSWpodcast.com to see all the crazy Halloween stuff we've been doing. We got a lot of episodes still coming. Like I said, we have Monday, Wednesday, Friday releases all of October. And so far I've kept to that. I don't think I have not missed a date. So you're welcome world, I guess. It's a lot, but.
00:20:00
Speaker
It's for the fun. So I need to take a break after this. Dana is going to enjoy me taking a break so we can do life things. Get back to normal. So definitely check out what we got coming up with Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. I love that film. It is a hilarious horror film with some great actors with Alan Tudyk and Tyler. What is that? Labine?
00:20:26
Speaker
Anyway, love those guys. It's a great film. It's hilarious. So if you haven't seen it yet, go check it out. And then you can check out our episode that releases next week and learn all about it. That's all I have. Thank you. Oh, and I have a indie podcast sticker that I'm selling for just one dollar out on our store at OSW podcast.com slash shop.
00:20:48
Speaker
And if you buy these stickers, you can set your own amount how much you want to pay. But 100% of the profits that we make off those stickers, I'm going to pay it forward to other indie podcasters that are doing the grind just like us. I wanted to try to do something fun with some stickers I was able to acquire from Sticker Mule.
00:21:04
Speaker
And that's one fun thing I decided to do. So if you want one of those stickers, head out to oswpodcast.com slash shop. And like I said, 100% of the profit goes to other indie podcasters, not us. There's plenty of others out there that I'm interacting with and having a good time with and they deserve to spread the love. So if you're interested in one of those cool stickers, go check it out. But until next time, guys, thanks for tuning in and we will catch you next time. Bye.
