Gerard Butler’s Mike Banning is the hero of the Has Fallen movie franchise, and here’s how many characters he’s killed throughout the saga.

Here’s how many people Gerard Butler’s Mike Banning personally dispatched throughout the Has Fallen movie franchise. 2013’s Olympus Has Fallen was a return to the Die Hard-inspired, R-rated action thrillers that used to dominate the genre during the 1990s.

Examples of “Die Hard on an X” movies including Under Siege (Die Hard on a ship), Passenger 57 (Die Hard on a plane) or The Rock (Die Hard on Alcatraz). The repetitive nature of this formula eventually saw the popularity of this subgenre wane, but Olympus Has Fallen added some spice to the format by being set in the White House.

Of course, it famously went up against that year’s White House Down too, but Olympus Has Fallen won that battle. It also gave star Gerard Butler a surprise franchise, where his Secret Service agent character Mike Banning came back for two direct sequels.

2016’s London Has Fallen has Mike trying to keep the president safe following a terrorist attack in the UK capital. 2019’s Angel Has Fallen then saw Banning himself framed for an assassination attempt and trying to clear his name.

Banning is one of the blunter action heroes of recent memory, with one of his favorite finishing moves being to stab enemies in the head. The character has shown himself to be quite lethal over the course of the series and tends to dive headfirst into a fight.

That means he’s racked up a solid body count through the Has Fallen movies too, according to the website All Outta Bubble Gum. In Olympus Has Fallen, Banning killed 25 terrorists, including main antagonist Kang (Rick Yune). He almost tripled that count with London Has Fallen, where he dispatched 70 villains, while in Angel Has Fallen he reached 30 kills.

Added up, that’s 125 kills throughout the three movies. Banning doesn’t get all that creative in his methods either, with most of those deaths being achieved with knives, firearms or explosives.

Butler is set to return once again for a fourth movie titled Night Has Fallen, though since it was announced in 2020, there’s been no updates on when it will be released or what the story will involve.

Banning himself becoming president might be a fun tweak to the formula, but that might be pushing the franchise’s credibility too far. Regardless, Banning will no doubt add to his kill count in the upcoming sequel. That has also been talk of a Has Fallen TV spin-off, though whether it would follow Butler’s Banning or a new character is unknown.
