Title: Lance Henriksen vs. Bill Paxton
Post by: TheSailingRabbit on Nov 04, 2018, 10:53:14 PM
I guess most of us here on the humble AvPGalaxy know both Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton have played characters killed and/or maimed by Aliens, Predators, and Terminators, among other things, but who's better? Whose kills were classier, or more memorable?

This thread idea came from whiterabbit, so . . . credit to them.

Hey don't blame me for this. I just said there was a fair fight here. I didn't know they were lookin' for somebody to lead this crazy attack. :P

Somebody needs to make a list of their accomplishments. Cause I know Bill battled a tornado but if I recall correctly, it didn't kill him.

Oh and don't forget Lance torched a Predator and unloaded a few rounds into a Terminator with a manly hey. This is gonna be great.

Wasn't Bill also a Vampire?

Call me crazy, but, damn does Henriksen have a nice signature. I'm gonna have to buy two Bishop figures--one to pose, and the other to keep in the box to get signed.

Yes he totally did. I agree he gets extra points for that, but then again, you don't see him get "killed" by both aliens, and his Terminator death is kinda lame when you think about it... He just gets thrown away haha.

On this thing about the Terminator not killing people. He didn't kill the cop whose car he stole either nor the truck driver. So this is adding up to a glaring realization. It's unlikely the terminator killed him. With all things considered, he probably ran off like a whiny little bitch.

Just out of curiosity, is Plastic Hudson braver than human Hudson?

I mean he must be, I'm sure at some point he's faced off against all kinds of things like dinosaurs, grenade wielding teddy bears, darth vader, GI Joe and there was that rumor of a Buzz Lightyear backyard showdown in Canada way back in the early 2000's.

Perhaps he should be added to the poll?

Just out of curiosity, is Plastic Hudson braver than human Hudson?

I mean he must be, I'm sure at some point he's faced off against all kinds of things like dinosaurs, grenade wielding teddy bears, darth vader, GI Joe and there was that rumor of a Buzz Lightyear backyard showdown in Canada way back in the early 2000's.

Perhaps he should be added to the poll?

I'll think about it.

I got plans for plastic Hudson when I get him. One includes a house cat, and fake animal skeletons sold around Halloween.

I wonder what people think when they wonder into this thread and say to themselves 'so this is what alien and predator fans think about'.

This is nothing. They need to wander into the skull threads and the Alien 3/no Alien 3 threads for that.

Either way, we're still geeks to the outside world.

Well at least the donkey porn thread was deleted. More on to the point I don't know why we can't just get a serious alien related movie every year. I mean Lance is still kicking and could play a Bishop role and get killed by Decker too. That would really pad the death resume. Maybe god will think "hey man you died in films so many times, wanna have another go at this thing called life."

He'll be the last living cast member of any Alien movie for sure. I'm not ready to cry my eyes out if he or Rolston or Biehn go next.

John Hurt holds the record for characters dying onscreen.  At 43 deaths, it's the official record outstripping Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi and Sean Bean.

...and he's been killed by an Alien, twice. 

Beat that Paxton!  Beat that Henriksen.  :P

I was about to say, "Twice? When?" and then I remembered Spaceballs. Brainfart.

Instead it's been an endless argument since 2015 about a dead Alien project
that discussion keeps being disingenuously rejuvenated by various photos and statements. 

"Totally dead." If so-
Just release the damn script/treatment to put it to bed.
Stop unfairly tantalizing/angering people.

They'll never release it. It's going to be Neil and his powerloaders vs. Scott and his androids for years to come.

The war of preferred directions rages on. And whatever we do get, nobody is likely to be satisfied.

But there's one thing I'll give to Scott. At least he tried to do something different and more horror-related. All Neil wants is Aliens 2.

Until Ridley Scott kicks the bucket, or Sigourney Weaver does.

I think it's disingenuous to say that all Neill wanted was Powerloaders,
but I will say that I believe he doesn't understand the series
and that from the ideas he presented- what he did want was trite.

I think neither Scott or Blomkamp hit the nail on the head, Scott in writers he's hired or
the Alien being of the cosmic unknown inherently.
But he gets that it's an unrelenting rape monster in a world that's utterly f**ked where the company
can and will exploit you.
You can't always get a happy ending, that requires the same as in IRL- luck and perseverance.

& I think he was far closer to the mark than N.B's track record indicates (In writing, directing, concept)
N.B would've been.

My mention of powerloaders and androids was merely a reference to the most common complaints I've heard regarding the movies. Sometimes it seems like if you're a fan of Neil's idea, then you just want more Marines and Powerloaders. If you're a fan of Scott's direction, you just want more Androids/Blade Runner stuff and philosophy.

Neither of those is my personal opinion, nor do I necessarily agree with them. But of course, this is starting to head off topic, and I apologize for my contribution to that.

Eh- they're relatable: both topics are unwinnable arguments.

Though I will say;
I won't even vote on the poll on the official topic-
because they're both such great people and actors.

I'm gonna have to talk to a friend on Twitter for that. He's got both.

This might take awhile.

Holy hell he even died as a rabbit in Watership Down. That is one of the most depressing kiddy movies ever made... no wonder he was hired to play Kane. :P
