I always hate those ubiquitous scenes in movies where people play this game (and after watching The Night Of, will anybody ever play again?). So it’s surprising that I love this GIF. Perhaps that’s a quality of the medium—no matter how many times the set number of frames loops, that guy is not going to lose a finger.
But would anyone trust a robot to do this? After all, Bishop’s not-quite-precision at this parlor trick is what outed him as an android in Aliens.
Fun fact: “The Knife Game” has its own surprisingly in-depth Wikipedia page.
