ALIENS (1986) - BISHOP’S KNIFE GAME WITH PVT HUDSON - BILL PAXTON ALMOST LOSES A FINGER

From the Academy Award winning film, Aliens (sequel to Alien directed by Ridley Scott)... Ellen Ripley (Weaver) is sent with a squad of space marines to rescue a group of colonists who sent a distress signal to corporate headquarters. After awakening from interstellar space sleep, the marines eat their first meal and joke about the mission. Private Hudson (Paxton) asks the android Bishop (Henriksen) to do the “knife thing“ in which he spreads his palm on a table and proceeds to stab the table while missing the fingers. Little does Hudson know that he and Bishop are going to do a duet.... One of the most memorable scenes from Aliens.
