Behind You

Dude will always be Billy Bear from 48 Hours to me.:salute:

And someone with some cash and connections in Hollywood really need to make a movie about dude's life because reading his Wiki page is :leon:

Acting career
At the beginning of his acting career, Landham was an actor in pornographic films.[2][3][4] He then became a mainstream movie actor and appeared in a number of Hollywood films, including The Warriors (as a subway policeman whose leg gets broken by a baseball bat-wielding Michael Beck), Predator, 48 Hrs., Lock Up and Action Jackson.

Personal and political life
Landham was born February 11, 1941, in Canton, Georgia and raised in Rome, Georgia.[5] He is a descendant of the Cherokee and Seminole tribes.[1] He also stated he had Jewish heritage.[6] He attended Saint Mary's Catholic School and Darlington School before playing football for a year at the University of Georgia.[5] He has been married five times and has four children.[7]

He spent three years in prison after being convicted on federal charges of making threatening and obscene phone calls to his wife before the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the conviction in May 2001.[8]

In 2003, Landham ran in the Republican Party primary election for the post of Governor of Kentucky[dubiousdiscuss], hoping to repeat the success of his Predator castmates Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He based his candidacy on opposition to an amendment which endorsed the Kentucky Family Court, saying his bad experiences at the hands of the family court had convinced him it was for the benefit of lawyers rather than families or children. He was unsuccessful in gaining the party's nomination. He ran briefly as an independent candidate, but withdrew on June 18, 2003, and endorsed the Republican slate.

In January 2004, Landham announced his candidacy for the 27th State Senate District of Kentucky. In 2005, Landham spoke at a Council of Conservative Citizens convention. Landham has also appeared on the CofCC-affiliated radio show, The Political Cesspool.

In the spring of 2006, Landham also accepted a bid as an honorary member of Alpha Sigma Phi, Beta Chi Chapter at American University.

On September 19, 2006, Landham was injured in a four-car accident in Ashland, Kentucky.[9]

On June 25, 2008, Landham announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat held by Mitch McConnell on the Libertarian line.[10] The same day Landham was accused of calling for genocide against Arabs (whom Landham referred to as "camel dung shovelers," "camel jockeys," and "rag-heads") for his comments on the political radio show The Weekly Filibuster.[6] Three days later, on June 28, the Kentucky Libertarians voted unanimously to withdraw Landham's nomination, citing his comments were not in keeping with the party's platform and values.[11]

Landham died on August 17, 2017, aged 76 from congestive heart failure.

Freudian slip :wow:
:russ: don't text or type messages while you're half sleep

All joking aside though, no diss to Nimrod Antal or Robert Rodriguez, but I don't see them in the same league from a writing standpoint. I'd say Rodriguez is the better director than Shane though but he only produced Predators and it was his vision

Which one is the bad one?

The second one. I know cats on here like it but I can't fukk with it for anything other than fukkery

Also I don't even count the alien vs predator flicks as part of either series. They may as well be Simpson spinoffs
