10 Greatest Sacrifices In Horror Movie History
2. Predator
1980's horror classic Predator is one of the most-beloved films of all time and it's honestly not difficult to see why. The film is wall to wall with fantastic moments, memorable quotes and a healthy dose of cheese to top it all off.
One of the most iconic moments in the whole film comes when the burly, bandana wearing Billy decides to stay back and keep the Predator at bay to allow his pals to 'get to the choppa'.
The stoic Billy removes his jacket and stares down the camoflauged hunter before pulling out his knife and cutting himself to entice the creature to focus on him to buy the rest time. It's one of the most truly bad-ass moments in cinema and an unexpectedly heroic moment from a character who'd really barely even spoken up until that point.
The fact that Billy is almost immediately ripped apart and his distraction fails to really pay off doesn't change the fact that he made the gesture. A noble sacrifice. Rest in peace, Billy.
