My favourite scene has to be from Predator, after they've laid traps and are dug in waiting for the Predator to attack and Dillon suddenly asks, "Whatya gonna try next? Cheese?"  It just kind of unwound the tension and lifts the mood for three glorious seconds

Paxton's death in The Terminator isn't gruesome at all. He just gets thrown against some iron railings and cracks his skull. I think you're confusing him with the guy who has Arnie ram his entire forearm inside his chest cavity. But that's not Paxton.

Paxton's pretty obvious though. He's got blue spiked hair and a tyre track tattoo on his face!

As for Henriksen, he gets an assault rifle and shotgun combo to the face in the police station (at least, I assume it's the face, in fairness he's off-screen when it happens).
Yeah, it's been quite some time since I saw TT.

P2, The subway scene. Paxton completes the trifecta. He has now been killed by The Terminator, Alien and Predator.


:o  Good find!  What about AVP?

Oh. Silly me.

AvP, Lance gets killed. Because then he completes the same trifecta. ;)

How did I miss his death by terminator  :-[

P1, The deaths of Mac and Dillon. Loved the build up and atmosphere of this scene. Easily the Predator at its most frightening.

Predators, BSP gets beheaded. Next to Anytime, my fav Pred death. So unexpectedly brutal.

AvP R, The nuke drop. Because the movie ended.

Honorable mentions go to Arnie's final fight and Harrigan's duel in the ship.

"I don't think he gives a shit..."

If we are going on FIRST viewings:

P1 : When the Predator gets Blaine and Mac picks up the mini-gun and starts his own version of deforestation.

P2 : King Willie getting beheaded or The old lady getting the broom when City Predator is in the bathroom treating his injuries.

P1 - When Dillon tries to fight on with only one arm left as well as when Arnie realizes just how in over his head he is when he breaks the branch over the Predator who no sells it.

P2 - The massacre of Keyes' team.

When Dillon sees Mac's body and is scanning for the Predator, only to see it standing out in the open waiting for him to see it.  Thought that was pretty badass.

Also when Mac basically crawls to his execution. 

The Penthouse scene in P2.  I don't know why, but I love the short violent action sequences in the second film.  They are cheesy as f**k, but the Penthouse scene with the Jamaicans being taken out is one of my favorite in the franchise.

Quote from: Xenomorphine on Jun 09, 2013, 02:00:24 AMNope. Like Lambert's death, it's more powerful because of what you don't see. The sounds you hear totally sell it.

Yeah that scene definitely works better without seeing what happens.
