Best Paxton Character?


It's got to be Severen from Near Dark. That is such a great film (I hate it when they aint shaved!) and Paxton has all the best lines.
I like Hudson too (I say we grill this rat f*ck right now!) but not even Hudson can compare to Severen!

Marines, we are leaving!!

I have never seen After Dark so i can't saying anything about that, although i've heard good things about it. (is it available on dvd?) But i definately have to agree with you about Hudson!!!. Bill Paxton is my all time favorite actor i've loved him since i was about 7 years old and Hudson is my favorite Bill character. There is not a scene in Aliens that Hudson is in that isn't entertaining!!! They definately gave him some of the best lines.

my favorites being:

"i say we greese this rat f*ck son of a bitch right now"
"we're on an express elevator to hell; going down"
"oh dear lord jesus this can't be happening man, this isn't happening"

"Chet" in Weird Science is pretty good too.

Greese!! I didn't think it was grill! Near Dark has just come out on DVD special Edition and has interviews with Lance Henriksen, Jenette Goldstein and yes, Bill Paxton.
Does anyone know if One False Move is out on DVD?

I don't mean to keep correcting you, i hope you don't take offense but i belive the line given by Hicks is "Drake, we are leaving!"
