So has Lance. Wasn't he one of the Vamps in Near Dark?

Terminator 1(Police station) Aliens(Killed by A Queen**), AVP (killed by a Predator)

AND since we're talking Vamps....Vasquez(Jenette Goldstein)...was also in Near Dark with Lance and Bill and although she wasn't killed by an Alien, she died trying to get away from them(suicide explosion in the vent). Hell she's probably the only Vamp to go down on The Titanic(Irish Mother with kids). Don't forget Paxton was in Titanic too.



**I guess one could argue that he wasn't really "killed" since he was an Android and he was revived for a short time by Ripley in Alien3. Wait...hang on....Lance has been killed by an Alien, a Predator, a Terminator AND...A Ripley.

Ok so the ultimate showdown would be Bill Paxton vs. Lance Henriksen. Match of the titans!

If I had to choose the biggest bad-ass, I'm giving it to the Predator in AVP:R. Young Predator in Predator 2 couldn't even kill Danny Glover... In AVP:R, the Predator took down humans AND Aliens AND the Predalien! That is the very definition of bad-assery!

Plus you got to see him living on the Predator homeworld in AVP:R; that's just bonus points, in my book...

My interpretation of Bishop at the end of "Aliens" was that he was damaged but still "alive". The crash in (that dream sequence that is commonly called) "Alien 3" is what finally did him in.

I still think Bill Paxton is the winner as he was killed by Aliens, Predators, Terminators...and the killer combo of Pat Benatar and Judge Reinhold!

In related Bill Paxton news: Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman were in a movie together...actually in the same scene!

You're right. He was cut in half but not dead and was even able to catch Newt when Ripley opened the bay doors to outer space. In Alien 3, the prisoners assumed he was trashed since he was such bad shape and threw him into the garbage bin.

Ok, I'm officially petitioning for it - I wanna see the Predalien from AVP:R kill Bill Paxton in AVP3! He can continue his streak of being killed by cool aliens! Better yet, have the Predalien kill both Bill Paxton AND Bill Pullman - 2 for 1!

I also think they should have Bill Paxton do a commentary on the AVP:R DVD coming out next month... even though he's not in the movie. It would be hilarious - he could just sit there and every time an Alien or the Predator comes on the screen, he could reminisce about all the times he's been killed...

Lance would win. In addition to Bill's rogues gallery, Lance has taken on Pumkinhead and Jean Claude Van Damme.

As others have pointed out, the Predator in the first movie, took out a group of Green Beret's, and all but one of Arnold's team. The one in AVP requiem didn't seem as smart as the one in the first movie.

I think that most "Predator" stories nowadays have easier to kill Predators.

To truly be ultimate, it should be Bill Paxton vs. Bill Paxton in a movie. Then he can discuss all the things that have killed him, including himself, then talk about turning into that thing in "Weird Science".
