I' not sure about the movie, but in the book, although there is a lot of violence, only one character actually dies. That character is Motorcycle Boy, the brother of the main character, Rusty-James. Motorcycle Boy is killed by a policeman after he breaks into a pet store to release all the animals and steal some fish. The fish are Siamese fighting fish, the "rumble fish" of the book's title, and Motorcycle Boy, in a symbolic act of uncharacteristic pathos, wants to take them out of their environment and release them in the river.
There is a comprehensive summary of the entire book at the enotes link referenced below. Take a look!
