10 Dumbest Decisions In Action Movie History

10. Letting Pride Overcome Sensibility - Alien Vs. Predator

Alien vs. Predator did its best to include lore of both worlds, managing to tie together the franchises to some extent. One of these bits was the inclusion of Charles Weyland, the founder of the Weyland Corporation. In a neat twist, Weyland is played by Lance Henriksen, who also played the android Bishop in Aliens.

Weyland is your typical movie portrayal of a rich, eccentric tech billionaire, one with an ego so big that he was willing to travel to the frozen ends of the Earth to recover technology and make a discovery that would mark his place in history, no matter the cost.

His pride and single-mindedness, however, would backfire in a spectacular fashion.

As he and the only other surviving members of the expedition attempt to escape both Predators and Aliens, Weyland plants himself in the path of Predator Scar, intending to delay him. Following the Predator hunter's code, though, Scar views Weyland as unfit prey due to the lung cancer that is killing him.

Alive but cast aside, Weyland becomes enraged at being ignored and creates a makeshift flamethrower to torch the Predator. It is, unfortunately, ineffective, and a few seconds later Scar impales him.

Weyland does indeed secure his place in history, as one of the relatively few people on Earth killed by a Predator.
