Crazy crackers with guns!

Hot damn, The Thing passes the test! A black guy survives*! This places it with such company as Ghosts of Mars, Deep Blue Sea, Death Race, and Event Horizon. Oh, and Predator II. Movies like Leviathan and Doomsday are in the hall of shame.

Can anyone think of any other horror/SF movies in which the black guy survives?


*Up until credits, at least, and I'll take what I can get.

Spoilers?

Er... Evolution? Even lampshaded, I think. Orlando Jones as Dr. Block: "I've seen this movie. Black dude dies first."

But he survived... despite what the movie threw at him... There was an alternate ending where he, um, wound up pregnant...

Comedies don't count for my purposes. I was never worried that Winston Zedmore was going to die at the last minute.
