Midway through the annual Bullz-Eye mumblety-peg party – “Okay, you can be Bishop and I’ll be Hudson. Wait, which one is the droid again?” – we started talking about our favorite movie knife scenes, beginning of course with a certain James Cameron flick starring someone who looks human but doesn’t quite act human, and Lance Henrikson as an android. When the conversation reached a fever pitch, our wives called from upstairs, telling us to just shut the hell up already about our stupid knives. Sent hurtling back to reality, we decided to create a concise list of 10 of our favorite badass knife scenes from the movies, listed in chronological order. And, to keep the playing field level, we declared scenes involving all other blades ineligible. This meant the exclusion of several staff favorites, but not all blades are created equal, therefore their cinematic moments should be treated in a similar manner. This is a journey into knives. A journey which along the way will bring you new hardware, new bloodshed, new badness, new bloodshed, new badness.
Read all about our final 10 scenes here, and then be sure to come back and discuss your favorites, as well as offer up suggestions for some of the films that didn’t make the cut.
