20 Things You Didn't Know About Your Favourite Action Movies

7. Two Actors Have Been Killed By An Alien, Predator & Terminator

If you're in the entertainment industry, one of the biggest honors you could achieve is to become a member of the EGOT winners circle; winning all four major annual entertainment awards; Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. However, for sci-fi geeks, one of the greatest accomplishments one could achieve is to appear in a movie with and be killed by three of the genre's most iconic characters, Predator, Alien, and the Terminator. Only two actors, Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton, have accomplished this. Paxton, of course, is one of Schwarzenegger's first victims in James Cameron's Terminator; he gets dragged under the floor by a hoard of xenomorphs in Aliens, and he comes face to face with a Predator - and loses - in Predator 2. Henriksen gets killed by the Terminator in the original film as the machine takes out an entire police station. In Aliens, as the lovable android Bishop, he gets ripped apart by the Queen Alien herself. And in Alien Vs. Predator he pisses off the wrong Predator and takes a spear through the abdomen. On a side note, both Paxton and Henriksen were also (indirectly) killed by Adrian Pasdar€™s character in Kathryn Bigelow's vampire western Near Dark. Which, let€™s face it, is kind of lame.
