When Movie Characters Go Postal

Batman, Rambo, Jigsaw and more go from mild to wild...


Man On Fire (2004)

Average Joe: Ex-CIA spook turned bodyguard John Creasy (Denzel Washington)

What turns him?: The kidnapping of Lupita ‘Pita’ Ramos (Dakota Fanning), the girl he’s supposed to be protecting.

Methodical postal: Creasy starts at the bottom and works his way up. 

Literally: a Magnum is shoved up a villain’s arse, while fingers and ears get sliced.

But when the scale of his enemies become clear, out come the rocket launchers for a more indiscriminate killing spree.

Next: Dirty Harry
