Compass of Doom!…
I’m watching Aliens at the mo – such a grade A kick ass cinematic adrenaline rush – just saw the scene towards the start – when Hudson gets Bishop to do the roulette thing with the hand outstretched and the knife – then Crowe puts Hudson’s hand out there under Bishop’s - he squeals “Hey man! Not me man!”– too late - the android, or “synthetic human as I like to be referred” starts off slowly and then gets up to warp speed – knife dancing left to right in the gaps between the fingers - Hudson screaming his ass off as the movements become a blur…
That scene has got to be responsible for an awful lot of compass injuries to late 80’s primary school / secondary kids after they tried to replicate the same thing and ended up stabbing their friends in the finger –
“Hey! let me do that cool Aliens knife trick! I’m really good! I promise I won’t stab you!”
“OK that sounds sensible – after all you said you were good and you also promised”

“Excellent!”
“Ow! Fucker! My turn!”
“Ow! Fucker!”
….of all the memorable moments from 18 rated films we watched while underage, that scene was up there with the toxic waste guy who exploded on the windshield in Robocop.
