Movies starring Lance Henriksen

Damien: Omen II (1978)

107 mins     Horror      

In my review of "The Omen" I focused on the atmosphere because the atmosphere of that first movie is what made it such a great horror movie. Sadly with director Richard Donner busy with "Superman" he was replaced and sadly Do...

Piranha Part Two: The Spawning (1981)

84 mins     Drama, Horror      

Piranha Part Two: The Spawning (1981) when a tourist dies in a diving incident the residents and visitors to a Caribbean Island resort find themselves dealing with genetically modified piranhas which can fly...

Blood Feud (1983)

210 mins     Crime, Drama, TV Movie      

I was only 2 years old when Jimmy Hoffa disappeared and because of this and because Hoffa's story was one of corruption in America I have never really been that interested in watching a movie about him. But after stumbling ac...

The Terminator (1984)

107 mins     Action , Sci-Fi      

I was officially too young to watch "The Terminator" when it was released back in 1984, which seems a frighteningly long time ago, but being under age didn't stop me watching it. And to be honest since then "The Terminator" h...

Jagged Edge (1985)

108 mins     Crime, Mystery, Thriller      

Joe Eszterhas has written a few movies over the years but for me his most famous one is "Basic Instinct" from 1992 which saw a detective getting up close and personal with a woman suspected of murder. But of course this wasn'...

Aliens (1986)

137 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

As a sequel to the already impressive "Alien", James Cameron's "Aliens" is an extraordinary movie which is as good if not better than its predecessor. What makes it extraordinary is the fact that whilst it is an action movie ...

Near Dark (1987)

94 mins     Drama, Horror, Thriller      

Near Dark, Bill Paxton as Severen, Near Dark Adrian Pasdar, Near Dark Jenny Wright, Near Dark Lance Henriksen, Near Dark Bill Paxton, Near Dark Jenette Goldstein, Near Dark Tim Thomerson, Near Dark Joshua John Miller, Near Da...

Alien 3 (1992)

114 mins     Action , Sci-Fi, Thriller      

"Alien" was brilliant and "Aliens" was its equal if not better, bucking the trend of sequels usually being poor, but then came "Alien 3" and simply it's not brilliant and nowhere close to being in the same league as its prede...

Hard Target (1993)

97 mins     Action , Thriller      

There is but one word which describes John Woo's "Hard Target" starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and that is gratuitous. Now you may think I am on about it being full of gratuitous violence when in truth I don't think "Hard Targ...

No Escape (1994)

118 mins     Action , Drama, Sci-Fi      

I first watched "No Escape" a few years after it came out and enjoyed it and to my surprise probably 15 years after I first watched it I still enjoyed it when I caught it again recently. But I would be lying if I said that "N...

Color of Night (1994)

121 mins     Mystery, Romance, Thriller      

What is the difference between a comedy-thriller and a thriller-comedy? It is not just the sequence of words but also the fact whilst comedies which also have a thriller element work those which are thrillers first and try to...

Boulevard (1994)

95 mins     Crime, Drama      

I'd never watched "Boulevard" prior to recently but it reminded me a lot of the sort of movies I ended up watching on late night TV as I was channel surfing, the sort which wanted to deliver a drama out of the gritty city str...

The Quick and the Dead (1995)

107 mins     Action , Adventure , Western      

For me "The Quick and the Dead" is a confusing movie or should that be confused, because it starts like any other western then transforms into something more comic like. It at times feels partly like a pastiche on the classic...

Aurora: Operation Intercept (1995)

94 mins     Action , Drama      

I don't mind bad movies, there is something perversely enjoyable about watch a movie which sucks but it needs to be able to do a few things. One of those things is to draw you into the story even if it is a weak storyline and...

Tarzan (1999)

88 mins     Adventure , Animation, Drama      

Those who come to The Movie Scene often are likely to know that one I am not the hugest of fans when it comes to animations but also that I am also sceptical when I come across any movie which is rated highly on a certain pop...

Scream 3 (2000)

116 mins     Comedy, Horror, Thriller      

Fresh, fun and shocking are not words that spring to mind to describe "Scream 3", what for a while was the final chapter in the "Scream" movies. I say supposed as like any horror bad guy, they keep coming back and with "Screa...

The Last Cowboy (2003)

100 mins     Drama, TV Movie, Western      

Movie Review - The Last Cowboy (2003) Jacqueline 'Jake' Cooper (Jennie Garth) finds herself part owner with her estranged father, Will (Lance Henriksen), in his ranch thanks to her late grandfather. But with things tense betw...

AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)

100 mins     Action , Sci-Fi, Thriller      

As someone who's not into comic books "Alien" and "Predator" have always been two separate entities although there was that moment of cross over at the end of "Predator 2" and I am aware that there was also the crossover in t...

Madhouse (2004)

91 mins     Horror, Thriller      

"Madhouse" is the second movie I have watched today and it is the second movie which as a whole is flawed but features some good ideas. But this leaves me a huge issue because to truly explain the flaws I would have to reveal...

Appaloosa (2008)

115 mins     Action , Crime, Drama, Western      

Once upon a time, many decades a go the staple of the big screen was the western, but sadly tastes changed and westerns went out of fashion. Now days it's a rare occurrence for a western to be made although in a way that's no...
