I like how @Zeus has no examples of it happening. None of the Friday the 13th movies or Nightmare on Elm street, Halloween, Child's Play, Alien, Predator, hellraiser. Counting all the sequels in those series that's over 50 movies where it doesn't happen.

  • In Aliens, Frost is the first major character to go, and Apone isn't far behind him. It's notable in that it's the only entry in the entire series, including Alien vs. Predator, to play this trope straight. The other films have a tradition where the black dude is the last to die in a (attempted) Heroic Sacrifice.
  • In Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, a group of five high school students (including one black student) is ambushed by an Alien inside the high school. Guess which one the Alien kills first.
