First R movie I ever had to see at 11 years old. I begged my mother. She said yes. Her birthday gifts were well thought out after that.

Damn that sucks. RIP Sonny.

You guys need to watch the movie best of the best
It's a crappy martial arts movie, but he goes out like a gangster in it.

Bad guys shoot him, and he climbs over the hood of the car with his dying breath stabs the guy who shot him.. took the dude with him before dying.

Damn, that means he was 45-46 years old in Predator. Looked pretty good for a near half centennial.

RIP. Dude was supposed to be a maniac. Carl Weathers said they had bodyguards on the Predator set to protect the other actors from him.

Hope he had a fun life and didn't suffer.

Years back he came to a local river barge servicing company in KY looking for a job. Probably 10 years ago. Catlettsburg Kentucky

Wow, per wiki,

On June 25, 2008, Landham announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Mitch McConnell on the Libertarian line.[9] 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.[10] 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]

RIP. I read that Sonny was one crazy fucker and the cast was scared of him. Including Arnold.

Billy: I'm scared Poncho.
Poncho: Bullshit. You ain't afraid of no man.
Billy: There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die.

It sucks getting old and watching all your action heroes die.

I was 16 when Predator debuted. Now, I'm old.

The guy could be detestable at times, but in the end I liked the guy. Even if he was nuts in the 80s. I will say a prayer for Landham. In the end i think he cleaned up enough to be a person on the right path.
