Who has harmed the most people on film, cumulatively?

A friendly debate I had at work yesterday revolved around who has harmed the most people on screen, cumulatively. There are two subcategories: one for casualties, the other for fatalities. This is become some action stars tend to just harm their opponents, while others prefer to shoot them in the face instead.

I think the top three contenders have to be:

There mus be someone who got EVERY human, though, sometime after 1980, then they'd win.

Arnold got a lot of people in Commando (around 70-80 at least?)

The Governator has had a long, long career as an instrument of mayhem. If you add up all his films, he has got to be a leading contender.

Perhaps some of the more prolific Hong Kong film stars might eclipse the better-known Hollywood contingent, if you are willing to count the mere casualties that result from kung fu fighting.

"Wikipedia: "According to moviebodycounts.com, the character of John Preston [from the film Equilibrium and played by Christian Bale], has the most onscreen kills in a single movie ever. His kill-o-meter is set at 118, exactly half the movie total of 236."

If we're going to do this properly we need different categories of killer, for instance;

Intimate Kills - those were a character kills a specific individual, either up close or from a distance, for instance in hand-to-hand combat, with a sniper rifle, or by poisoning.

Indiscriminate Kills - those were a character kills many people at once without really caring about individuals, for instance detonating a bomb, destroying a planet with a lazerbeam, or unleashing radioactive waste.

Character Kills - kills, across any number of films, by the same character (whether played by one actor - Bruce Willis as John McLain - or many - James Bond).

Actor Kills - kills by one actor as many different character, for instance Mel Gibson in all his guises.

Single-film Kills - the most kills by one actor playing one character in a single film.

Director Kills - the most blood-thirsty director.

Well then mine trumps that - the Shadows from Bab5 blew up MULTIPLE planets, and loads of ships in the interim.
