Sometimes, improvised scenes can become the most iconic movie moments, thanks to their genuine reactions. That’s the case with the Knife Trick scene in Aliens (1986).

Originally, the scene was supposed to be Bishop performing the trick on himself, but the Bishop’s actor Lance Henrickson suggested having Bill Paxton’s hand over his. James Cameron loved the idea, and everyone but Paxton was told what was going to happen. Paxton’s reaction and fear in the scene are completely genuine.
