WHO KILLED MORE? KERSEY OR RAMBO?

Who killed more, Paul Kersey or John Rambo?  Both men have racked up an impressive kill count, giving little in the way of fucks about trials or juries.  They’ve also done it over the course of five movies apiece.  With some movies peaking in escalation.

PAUL KERSEY

Kersey, the character, might well be described as the most prolific killer in American history, straying into perhaps serial killer territory.

• DEATH WISH BODY COUNT: 10
• DEATH WISH 2 BODY COUNT: 11
• DEATH WISH 3 BODY COUNT: 50
• DEATH WISH 4 BODY COUNT: 34
• DEATH WISH 5 BODY COUNT: 6
• TOTAL BODY COUNT: 111

Kersey was quite the prolific killer.  Kersey’s other indiscretions include, technically, numerous instances of attempted murder, aggravated stalking and numerous instances of assault including assault with a deadly weapon.

JOHN RAMBO

John Rambo was also quite the busy fellow.  It appears that the man just couldn’t help himself.  Again across five movies, however, Rambo easily takes down Kersey.

• FIRST BLOOD BODY COUNT: 1
• RAMBO II BODY COUNT: 76
• RAMBO III BODY COUNT: 115
• RAMBO IV BODY COUNT: 124
• RAMBO V BODY COUNT: 46
• TOTAL BODY COUNT: 362

It’s worth noting that Rambo also killed people during the Vietnam war, supposedly, 59 men.  However, this wouldn’t be fair to include, since Kersey also served in the Korean war, but we cannot say how many (if any) he killed.
