Do I need to mention spoiler alert? Turner Classic had a run of movies on today starring Edward G Robinson, including [Bullets or Ballots](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0027407/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_90) and [Key Largo](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040506/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_61), both with Humphrey Bogart. In _Bullets for Ballots_, Bogart and Robinson shoot each other with Bogart dying immediately and Robinson going on to finish capturing the rest of the gang before succumbing to his wounds. In _Key Largo_, Bogart shoots and kills Robinson on the way to Cuba before returning home. So Bogart has killed Robinson at least twice in movies. It got me to wondering, which actor has the most kills of another actor? ---

Well, Tony Curtis kills Kirk Douglas in _The Vikings_. Douglas returns the favour in _Spartacus_. Not what you were asking about, but I thought it amusing. ---

Either people are misunderstanding the OP, or we have OP drift. The topic is what actor has killed _one particular other actor_ the most times in movies? ---

If we include TV, Iā€™d say the Douwd from the TNG episode ā€œThe Survivorsā€ ranks up there, having killed all 50 Billion Husnock, wiping them out of the Universe completely. ---
