The Character: Marvin, Pulp Fiction (1994)
How They Went: Possibly one of the most famous minor character deaths in cinematic history.
Poor Marvin (Phil LaMarr) is riding harmlessly in the back of John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson’s car when he’s accidentally shot in the face and his brains are splattergunned all over the back of the vehicle.
If They'd Have Lived: Marvin the informant gets his own segment of the film.
Titled “Marvin”, the footage sees Marv taking over from Samuel L Jackson as Marsellus Wallace’s new hitman. He even gets his own theme tune - Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler), by Marvin Gaye.
Oh, Quentin, you wag.How They Would Eventually Die: Unfortunately for Marvin, he proves to be the single worst hitman in the history of the job.
He shoots himself in the face on his very first assignment, leaving his brains splashed over the back of his brand new car.
It’s like fate had it in for him…
Next: Greedo

No scabo, it was a dilophosaurus (sp?) that killed Nedry. It was a frilled beast that spat a burning, blinding venom at his victims and then tore them to shreds. I have no idea why I remember that.

Oh, and I also think you mean a velociraptor, there wasn't a creature called the raptorsaurus. How the heck am I pulling this stuff from about 20 years ago out of my head?
