I'm surprised no one's made a collection like this yet. The initial 46 entries were found in Listomania (2011), a very entertaining trivia book that everyone should check out. Please feel free to add more entries!

I heartily approve of this endeavor.

I have seen 33 of the 46 in the collection, and I'll be adding some more if I think of any that are missing.

EDIT: found this list of the top 100, should round out the collection nicely.

according to that list, there's only 63 films with body counts of 100 or more (your collection criteria)

Thanks for the research; I've added the remaining qualifying films from that list to the collection.

Won't this include most war movies ever made...?

You can't take such list seriously if there's no single German gore movie on it. I 've never counted the number of deaths, but Ittenbach was kind enough to do it for us in Premutos:

That list has a handful of Japanese/Hong Kong flicks on it, but yeah it seems to be mostly American films.

but edkrak, by all means let us know about more of these German flicks.

Well I just like general bloodbath, but I don't really care that much about exact number of bodycount. I'm pretty sure though that there are tons of of HK/Japan/German films that will make it to 100+ club. Just think about all those chambara flicks, HK films like New One-Armed Swordsman (tons of kills and this final massacre on the bridge) etc. etc.
And Germans? Well they have tons of low budget zombie/gore flicks. Ittenbach who is not a good director to begin with is probably most talented person doing such films, so I don't have the courage to watch those that are even worse. I have no idea about the numbers, but there are films like Komabrutale Duel considered even more gory than Braindead or Premutos, so bodycount should probably be quite high.

Edit: Hell, this site even doesn't include "Azumi" which is one of the most well known Japanese films of the last 10 years and has 200+ bodycount that's proven everywhere on the net (like here: http://www.dvd-forum.at/bodycount/220-azumi), so it's pretty evident that their knowledge about "foreign" films is abominable.

I have no idea the actual body count, but I recently watched 13 Assassins and I would guess that it should be over 100.
