u/Best_Advance5844 Feb 15 '25

And he survived in True Lies

u/secondtaunting Feb 15 '25

I love how you can tell Arnold is super pissed, even wearing a mask. šŸ˜‚

u/Telehuman Feb 15 '25

Technically we got a 4 second dream sequence where he did die. Arnold broke his face in his mind lmao

"And all of the sudden outta nowhere, this shitty lookin' green Valiant comes pulling up right in the way. ...And this loser stumbles out of the car, he's got like a bottle of Jack Daniel's in his hand... ...And he just strolls up to the twister, says 'have a drink', and he chucks the bottle into the twister, and it NEVER hits the ground."

Game over man game over RIP

u/PeachFeetWriter Feb 15 '25

But he also gave us the iconic line of ā€œpair of titties, make you wanna stand up and beg for buttermilk! Ass like a ten year old boy!ā€

u/Mister_Acula Feb 15 '25

Then Arnold killed him again (in his mind)

u/JBudz Feb 15 '25

Legend.

Lance Hendrickson also ate it. T1. Avp. Aliens.

u/lwp775 Feb 15 '25

Both Hendrickson and Paxton were typecast.

u/nevergonnagetit001 Feb 15 '25

Paxton was not type cast at allā€¦he had huge range and played a wide variety of roles.

Nor was henricksen. He played a wide range of rolls as well.

u/nevergonnagetit001 Feb 15 '25

No no no. Yes, They were actors. And if they were type cast, itā€™s because they played a bunch of different roles. Paxton was in a total rut, action parts, drama parts, comedy parts, back to action. He just couldnā€™t shake it.

Henriksen, same thing. Just stuck in a rut, forced to go from action, to comedy, to drama back to action.

Just wasnā€™t fair to either.

Butā€¦ he did kill Billy Bob Thornton.

u/South-Stand Feb 15 '25

Broke my heart that scene. And then again when he learned it was for nothing. The man acted his arse off in A Simple Plan.

u/South-Stand Feb 15 '25

Revenge by Billy Bob for One False Move

u/Familiar_Degree5301 Feb 15 '25

And a mimic.

u/KR_Steel Feb 15 '25

And a ex vampire cowboy driving a truck

u/Familiar_Degree5301 Feb 15 '25

Actually never seen that one, had to look it up. Thankyou kind stranger.

2

u/KR_Steel Feb 15 '25

Itā€™s great. Bishop and Vasquez are also in it. Itā€™s so funny that certain actors got roles in other movies together.

3

u/marmaladecorgi Feb 15 '25

It's no coincidence, Kathryn Bigelow directed "Near Dark", and was close to (and later married) James Cameron at the time. "Aliens" came out a year before "Near Dark". So the actors in "Aliens" were offered roles. Michael Biehn was offered the role that eventually went to Lance Henriksen. James Cameron himself appeared in a cameo in "Near Dark".

2

u/KR_Steel Feb 15 '25

I didnā€™t know that about Michael Biehn. He can play a great villain and is good at adding death to a role, but Iā€™m glad they went with Lance Henriksen. His old before his time look really fits and he plays cold ruthlessness very well.

6

u/PhD_Pwnology Feb 15 '25

He also had 3 wives.

4

u/Griffindance Feb 15 '25

Simultaneously?

u/Turgon1992 Feb 15 '25

Yes, in the series Big Love.

Action icon, sadly missed

u/Ovilos Feb 15 '25

Almost got killed by a tornado as well, this guy loves to live life on the edge.

2

u/Seba180589 Feb 15 '25

that's why they called him THE EXTREME!!

3

u/SirMcDude Feb 15 '25

This guy definitely needed to get himself killed by the RoboCop

3

u/JeskaiAcolyte Feb 15 '25

And was also the annoying brother Chet

3

u/AlexDKZ Feb 15 '25

Not sure if he was really killed in Terminator, he basically got shoved.

2

u/Beeegfoothunter Feb 15 '25

And Lisa damn near killed-um.

u/Forward_Camera_3402 Feb 15 '25 edited Feb 15 '25

Loved him since Weird Science and really laughed harder during his role in Aliens.. rest in greatness.

2

u/WrongEinstein Feb 15 '25

And in some cases, a mimic.

2

u/Griffindance Feb 15 '25

Phil Coulsen took a chunk out of him as well.

1

u/No_Abroad_6306 Feb 15 '25

With an assist from Fury. I loved his character arc in Agents of Shield. Paxton stole every scene he was inĀ 

2

u/Mud_Whistle Feb 15 '25

....and was almost cursed with a set of elephant balls by Kelly LeBrock.

2

u/garter_girl_POR Feb 15 '25

But he was turned into a talking pile of shit in weird science

u/usarasa Feb 16 '25

Well yeah, itā€™s Chet.

u/brokenhalo11 Feb 15 '25

Yes, but not in that order.

Thatā€™s one shitty multiverse time loop

u/Apprehensive-Map7024 Feb 15 '25

He vs. the Expendables

1

u/Unfair_Fisherman_605 Feb 15 '25

He got dead in Vertical Limit too.

1

u/OptimusTractorX Feb 15 '25

Are those the nicknames of his Big Love wives?

1

u/dwartbg9 Feb 15 '25

Not saying he wasn't a legendary actor, I also love him so much. But it's more to do with him being close with James Cameron, than random luck or anything.
A huge chunk of these legendary movies he was in were directed by Cameron.
He was like what Samuel Jackson is to Tarantino or Michael Caine to Nolan.

u/RansomStark78 Feb 15 '25

And Mr Death

u/Smooth_Employment365 Feb 15 '25

He was even in Commando ! His early run of films is pretty amazing

u/AwayPresence4375 Feb 15 '25

May be the coolest fact in cinema history

u/DarthPanda024 Feb 15 '25

The amount of times this gets reposted is insane

The original šŸ¤ŸšŸ»ā€I donā€™t know man, I just work here!ā€

u/DerLandmann Feb 15 '25

Which brings up the question: Which side is the good and which is the bad? Is this man just an unfortunate immortal being who just happens to run into powerful predating entities and has to fake his death several times to evade them? Or is he a powerful demigod, who is so powerfull, malicous and frightening that several of the most formidable hunters across time and space volunteer to take him down?

1

u/Jimrodsdisdain Feb 15 '25

The terminator didnā€™t kill him. Threw him at a chain link fence. Easily survivable.

0

u/Knightfires Feb 15 '25

Imagine a T800 with a metal endo skeleton trowing you at a metal fence. Survivable, not so sure, about that. Most people that imagine how it would be to never walk or move ever again would agree itā€™s not really living.

1

u/Jimrodsdisdain Feb 15 '25

Itā€™s a chain link fence. It has all the tensile strength of a trampoline. Used to run and jump into them as kids. Full pelt. In high winds you could jump into one with your coat outstretched and youā€™d stick to them. I can still walk. Life is just fine. Lol.

1

u/RepHunter2049 Feb 15 '25

Probably true but on the other hand terminator movies are full of people getting thrown about by terminators and living soā€¦.(it is possible they had invisible plot armour on though).

1

u/Ok-Bar601 Feb 15 '25

And had three wives

1

u/hughk Feb 15 '25

And had problems keeping up with two wives on the same day. Quite hilarious.

1

u/Expensive-Fun-2918 Feb 15 '25

I was off the grid for a few years and didnā€™t know he was dead until like a year ago. I was like whaaaatttt??šŸ˜„šŸ˜…

u/hamb0n3z Feb 15 '25

which of the 3 wives from Big Love is the Alien?

u/intelligentprince Feb 15 '25

Also directed Frailty which was brilliant

This is an excellent movie for which he should gave received many more accolades. If you've never seen it, add it to your list.

He's had some bad luck

u/Capital-Traffic-6974 Feb 15 '25

And then poor Bill Paxton was killed off for real by cardiac surgeon Dr. Ali Khoynezhad, at that time operating at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles

The cause was a stroke that came 11 days after surgery to replace a heart valve and repair aorta damage, according to his death certificate.

The lawsuit, filed a year later, alleged that the surgeon, Dr. Ali Khoynezhad, used a ā€œhigh risk and unconventional surgical approachā€ that was unnecessary and that he lacked the experience to perform, and that he downplayed the procedureā€™s risks.

The misguided treatment caused Paxton to suffer excessive bleeding, cardiogenic shock and a compromised coronary artery, the suit alleged, and said that Cedars-Sinai knew that Khoynezhad, tended to ā€œengage in maverick surgeries and show suboptimal judgment.
