*Gettysburg (1993) [Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead]: Shot in the chest during the battle of Gettysburg; he dies off-screen some time afterwards. (Historically inaccurate, Armistead's wounds were not believed to be mortal; he had been shot in the fleshy part of the arm and below the knee, and according to the surgeon who tended him, none of the wounds caused bone, artery, or nerve damage. It is believed that he died from complications from secondary bacterium, fever and prostration; it also noted that this was Richard Jordan's final acting role before he died from brain cancer).
*Posse (1993) [Sheriff Bates]: Shot in the chest with a golden bullet by Mario Van Peebles.
