Bought Alien v Predators (second one) other day, will have to play it & envision he's in the game & escapes.

You probably did, i am sad to say i read about ole bruces death several times over the past few years and didn't actually believe it at first when i saw of his passing the other day. Thought it was another bs rumor.

I remember taping it on VHS for the first time as I had never seen it... Sometime late 90s?

sacrilegious to even think of a reboot, the film was made very well first time round

RIP Sonny
