But I am passed trying to explain Alien3. Maybe that would be a nice surprise for Newt fans in Alien 5. Unless they can clone Carrie Hehn sp?
Can anyone confirm this? Might you be confusing her with Heather Rourke sp? Keep those spam ads coming! The facehugger that got the dog was most likely the same facehugger that impregnated Ripley and cut itself while trying to get into Newt's cryo-tube.
That's how the electrical fire was started. It was trying to pry the tube open, the glass cracked, it was cut and acid spilled down the side of the tube onto the floor. As to how it can manage this? The role-playing game of the same name from Leading Edge Games claimed that facehuggers are not limited to one embryo. This may be per-host, it may not be. What can be taken for granted, is the fact that little is known about the Alien and it's species, so we're always discovering something new that it could do.
Like sticking to ceilings or swimming after pirates. I think this was mentioned in the : movie as well; does anyone remember? That doesn't mean that they won't eventually go away. If you'll remember, when they were all eating diner later on, Kane's face was fine. The indentations were a result of having constant pressure applied to certain areas of his face, and once it was gone, it eventually evened out. A scene when the EEV crashes and the Newt's cryogenic unit is.
It was in the script, but it is not known : whether this scene was shot. It shifts slowly as if submerged. See my above comments. This would explain the acid burns on two of the : cryo-chambers as seen in the movie. The fetus then entered Ripley by her : throat. The source for this rumor is the Dark Horse : Comic "Alien 3 movie adaptation". I saw the adaptation and gave up on it after seeing that very scene. I'm thinking that someone out there possibly even the Dark Horse folks - remember, these are the people who held strong with THEIR version of events concerning the Alien Series and where it went, waiting for Fox to write off the third movie as a dream probably wanted to make things a little more simple and came up with this cockamamie idea of an alien crawling out of one host to go into another.
There are possibilities with this, but until Fox and the films say otherwise, I'm sticking with the simplest explanation. I think there's a much tighter and simpler explanation: Regular facehugger - 1 embryo 1 worker or drone Royal facehugger - 2 embryos 1 queen, 1 drone The one in Alien 3 was, according to this idea, a royal facehugger That IS the simplest explanation. Like it or not, Newt was the one shown in the x-ray with the facehugger attached to her.
Nice one. Way off the point, and pretty unecessary within the context of the thread. As Dillon says; "You're all gonna die. The only question is how you check out. Do you want it on your feet? Or on your fuckin' knees, begging. I ain't much for begging. Nobody ever gave me nothin'. Let's fight it! A large majority of the colonists were cocooned as well.
It was about 15 people vs aliens. In this film, it is one Alien versus approximately 25 people, so it needs to get rid of a lot of humans that could potentially become a threat if they work together. The result of a scene that was deleted and restored in the Assembly Cut. The prisoners are normally congregating in an assembly area where superintendant Andrews Brian Glover held his first "Rumour Control" or in the canteen.
However, the canteen is no longer safe because that is where the Alien killed Andrews. In the deleted scene, the prisoners complain that they are not safe in the assembly area, until one of them remembers that the Alien is afraid of fire; so they decide to move to the furnace, which contains hot molten metal that they hope will keep the Alien away.
The producers of Alien 3 wanted each film to be different in tone and style. It is apparent that they did not want to make "Aliens 2" and made a conscious decision to shift away from the action genre. This also serves to remove the simple solution Aliens presented—that the aliens can be killed quite easily if you have the guns to do so.
The producers removed the guns to increase the threat to the characters. It wasn't for want of interest. After the release of Aliens, director James Cameron mentioned the possibility of a third installment in the series, concentrating on the last three survivors: Ripley, Hicks and Newt. Cameron thought it would be interesting to further explore the family dynamic established in the previous film.
In interviews, Michael Biehn admitted being interested in reprising his role. Over the next few years, several different scripts were written for a sequel film, including one by novelist William Gibson which had Hicks as the primary protagonist, with Ripley being in a coma for most of the film.
However, successive script revisions moved further away from this concept, until, eventually, the characters of Hicks and Newt were not included at all. When Biehn learned this, he stated that he was "heartbroken". Biehn's agent actually went to the studios when Alien 3 went into preproduction still under the impression that the Hicks character would, at the very least, make an appearance to negotiate his participation but learned that the producers didn't wish to make use of Biehn's services.
On his way out of the studio, the agent walked past the special effects workshop and saw several artists working on a dummy in Biehn's likeness with a hole in its chest he wrongly assumed that Hicks was to die from an alien bursting out of him, but this was never the case. Upon hearing the news, Biehn threatened to sue the production for using his likeness without his approval. The studio offered him money but Biehn refused, saying he didn't want to end up as a chestburster victim in the movie, no matter what amount of money he was offered.
Biehn joked that he "was really stupid back then. This picture is Biehn's entire appearance in the movie the impaled Hicks is a dummy that cannot be facially identified. Biehn admitted that this fee for his picture was about the same as his entire salary for Aliens. The rescue team from the Company, now known as the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, has arrived on Fury and are making their way towards the prison.
Inside the compound, Ripley and Dillon have successfully lured the Alien into the lead molding facility.
Ripley climbs up the scaffolding to get free of the lead molding vat, and the Alien starts to go up after her. Dillon distracts the Alien, keeping it in the vat, until Morse can pour in the hot lead. Unfortunately, not even the molten lead stops the creature. It again begins to climb up after Ripley. Knowing that the Alien is scalding hot, she turns on the sprinklers. The extreme temperature change from hot to cold causes the Alien's exoskeleton to shatter.
The rescue team, lead by Aaron "85" Ralph Brown and a man who looks exactly like the Bishop android, who professes to be human and the designer of the Bishop android. He tries to convince Ripley that the Company will remove the Alien from within her and kill it. Ripley knows better and sacrifices herself by jumping into the molten lead. On the way down, the Alien Queen births from Ripley's chest, but Ripley grabs hold of it and they both perish in the molden lead [theatrical version].
In the final scene, the rescue team exits the prison, escorting Morse, the only survivor. There is a final transmission in which it is noted that Fury is closed, sealed, and any remaining equipment is to be sold as scrap. Andrews states that there are 25 prisoners in the facility. With Clemens, Andrews, Aaron and Ripley, that makes 29 people total. Which means 8 must have died in the explosion. In the theatrical cut, Dillon finds Arthur's body and says, "Jesus, this makes ten", implying that Golic and Arthur were both killed in the explosion.
That leaves one survivor; Morse. In America, Alien 3 was generally disliked by the public and by film critics when it came out. However, many reviewers outside the US hailed its bleak and uncompromising vision—and the film was more successful internationally.
The Special Edition also known as the Assembly Cut is a workprint which was created in as the film was still in production. When the Alien Quadrilogy DVD box set was released in , this version of the film was also included as a bonus feature. This version is longer than the original theatrical version, and includes new sequences as well as some later-completed digital effects.
According to the Alien 3 Special Edition DVD interviews, producers expressed their opinion that the inmates' and Ripley's success in capturing the Alien took away the creature's intelligence, since there was nothing scary about a monster that could be caught. Director David Fincher later mentioned that the test audience consisted of "year-old kids" who didn't care about the characters, but the damage was done all the same.
The producers were already hoping to shorten the movie, and this edit did exactly that, which is helpful when the studio is trying to maximise revenues. Not directly. The original production i. All that existed at that point was a dozen or so abandoned script ideas, and almost two million dollars worth of sets that had been entirely or partially constructed for a script that had been rejected weeks earlier.
While re-writes were still being done, Fincher was informed that he needed to incorporate as many of the creative ideas the producers wanted as possible, and that he needed to write scenes around the sets that had already been built, in order to justify the cost of their construction. As a result, Fincher was forced to effectively write, shoot, and edit the film, all at the same time.
While he was attempting this almost impossible task, the producers were continually requesting that changes be made on a variety of levels on an almost daily basis. As a consequence, the production became more complicated and difficult. The film went overbudget and behind schedule rather quickly, and although the film neared completion, the studio shut down production and asked for what is called a "work print" or "assembly cut".
You might think of this as an audit. They wanted to see what all their money had been spent on before they allowed any more. David Fincher created a work print in collaboration with editor Terry Rawlings. This was done in order to see which shots still had to be filmed and how the story worked so far. Everyone agreed that essential footage was missing, so the studio allowed additional filming days albeit far less than Fincher had requested , and Fincher spent several more months shooting and editing the result.
He and the rest of the cast and crew were under the impression that this was to be the initial cut of what would be the final film, and that very few additional pick-ups and changes were necessary other than those requested by Fincher himself. The studio, however, eventually rejected this version of the film, and ordered a radical re-edit, requesting that entire plot points including the beginning and ending of the film be either scrapped, or altered and entirely re-shot.
After the hellish production of the film, the news that Fincher's vision of the story would not be the one that would ultimately make it to the screen was enough to make the director walk entirely. The alterations and new scenes were created without him, despite the protests of most of the crew which had worked with him. In fact, a lot of the scenes, including the new ending, were shot in Los Angeles with almost an entirely new crew.
Most of the ideas were incorporated into what would become the Theatrical Version. For the extended Assembly Cut of Alien 3, producer Charles de Lauzirika and editor David Crowther reassembled the earlier work print, and a small crew finished music, sound effects and visual effects in the additional scenes to the best of their abilities on the limited budget e.
Based on what they had to work with, this version was as close as they could get to Fincher's original shooting script and production notes. It should be noted that this was not the film that Fincher had set out to shoot, only the compromised version he would have been "okay" with releasing before the studio demanded the re-shoots.
And, as before, most of those sources also agree that calling the aliens bugs is just a common figure of speech. Then there's Gorman's "xenomorph" comment. The way Gorman rattles off the term makes it sound like he knows what he's talking about, but unfolding events make it clear he's as clueless as the rest of them about the nature of the creatures. Writer and director Cameron takes pains to set Gorman up as the embodiment of Vietnam-era military officer hubris and jargon-veiled incompetence, and the lieutenant holds himself above and entirely separate from the squad under his command.
Dropping a fancy college word like "xenomorph" is just another way to lord rank and position over the jarheads -- people whose names he hasn't even really bothered to learn.
The word xenomorph in this context is a generic term for any "strange or foreign form" -- any alien life form. What Gorman is saying isn't "There's a specific type of creature called 'Xenomorphs' down there! If the creatures have an official name that even a corporal like Hicks knows, why in the world is Ripley there as an advisor? The use of "Xenomorphs" as a proper noun used to describe the series' aliens is blatantly wrong.
If you're guilty of doing it, stop. Ripley simply uses the word "alien" in the second movie, and impersonal pronouns are employed more often than anything else "they," "them," or "it".
No truly canonical source actually spells out anything resembling an official name. However, the various DVD and BluRay releases of the movies have assigned the fictional binomial name Internecivus raptus , or "murderous thief. Aliens versus Predator versus The Terminator , you'll also stumble across Linguafoeda acheronsis , or "foul tongue of Acheron. Linguafoeda acheronsis fits the required formula better than Internecivus raptus , but neither is really a good example of authentic binomial nomenclature , which has strict rules for how names are derived.
Both names sound cool, and they have cool English translations, but both fail as instruments of classification or taxonomy. Additionally -- and this is a pretty deep rabbit hole, so I'll only mention it without dropping down into it -- there is circumstantial evidence within the movies that during their gestation phase, the aliens can incorporate characteristics or traits from their hosts. This is ostensibly a mechanism to ensure that the alien when it emerges is better equipped to survive in whatever environment the host inhabits, but it raises the complex question of how such an organism would be classified.
If a typical population of aliens includes aliens sprung from different hosts, are they all the same type of organism?
