*Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991; German Voice) [T-1000]: As the "default" form of a shape-shifting robot, he is destroyed when he falls into a foundry after being shot with a grenade launcher by Arnold Schwarzenegger, shifting wildly between the forms of Robert, Jenette Goldstein, Don Stanton, and his true CGI body, until he finally melts into inert molten metal.
*Army of Darkness (1992; German Voice) [Ash/Evil Ash]: Playing a dual role after being split off from his evil side, "Evil Ash" is shot in the face with a shotgun by "Ash". "Evil Ash" later returns as a zombie, and is finally destroyed in an explosion after "Ash" hurls him out of a catapult with a lit bag of gunpowder. (He also plays several "Mini Ashes", one of whom is stabbed with a fork by the original "Ash".)

* Small Soldiers (1998; German Voice) [Major Chip Hazard]: Providing the voice of a sentient action figure, he is electrocuted/short-circuited by a power line, creating an electro-magnetic pulse that deactivates the other action figures. His head is seen one last time being held by Denis Leary.

(Also note that there are 3 other extended and alternate versions of his death scene in the deleted scenes section of the DVD.)
