Aliens behind the scenes gags

  • Hicks was originally starred by James Lima, but a few days after the film entered the official shooting, Cameron replaced the role with Michael Bain. Director Cameron used "the difference in artistic viewpoints" to explain the problems between him and Lima. In the end Lima still appeared at the end of the film, wearing the same armor, and filming from the back, so it seems that you can't see the difference between the two actors at all.
  • Before the filming of the film began, all crew roles received two weeks of training in the Royal Air Force Secret Service (except for Michael Bain, who later replaced other actors). At the same time, they also asked to read Robert Heinlein's novel "Starship Paratrooper" (that is, the original work of the movie "Starship Troopers").
  • Sigourney Weaver, the heroine actor, was very hesitant at first and refused to play the role of Ripley again. She declined the invitation of Fox Corporation several times because she was worried that her role would be badly written in the sequel. Destroy the good reputation already established in the first film. After reading the high-quality script of James Cameron, she was deeply moved, especially the emphasis on the relationship between the image of Ripley as a mother and her daughter, and Cameron was still very impressed. The character was portrayed meticulously, and finally she agreed to star in "Alien 2".
  • In an interview, the music master James Horner revealed that when he was scoring the film, James Cameron only gave him a very limited amount of time. In order to complete the task, he had to take out some of the music he had composed before. Synthesized together, including the main melody and the music in the ending song. Horner also said that the high-intensity work pressure with Cameron in the post-production process made him believe that he never wanted to continue working together. Only later Cameron was very impressed by Horner's soundtrack in "Brave Heart" (1995), so he invited him to score "Titanic" (1997).
  • When signing a contract with Sigourney Weaver, James Cameron and Gail Anne Hurd were newly married shortly after the producer declared that if they had not negotiated before the end of their honeymoon, then they would be finished. In fact, after the two came back, there was no progress, James Cameron simply decided to start making the movie, regardless of the originally stated deadline, and at the same time concocted a "conspiracy": he called Arnold Schwartz Singer’s agent told the other party in a casual chat that he was very grateful for the new field he created in Hollywood, "The Terminator" (The Terminator 1984). Cameron decided to make this new film completely according to his own ideas. Ripley wrote it in, with a Marine as the protagonist, and invited Schwarzenegger to play it. Just as Cameron expected, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s agent immediately relayed the news to his colleague Sigourney Weaver’s agent, who then collaborated with Twentieth Century Fox’s agent. The chief producer Lawrence Gordon got in touch, and the two unanimously decided that Ripley must be written into the script anyway, so they started to work on the signing of Sigourney Weaver without stopping.
  • The Alien Nest set in "Alien 2" was still intact after the filming ended, and was later used in the movie "Batman" (Batman 1989). Before the "Batman" staff saw these sets for the first time, they were delighted to find that the Alien Nest was complete.
  • The film was produced in England, and the director and producer are still constantly looking for many American actors living in England to audition, especially for the actress to play Newit, she must be a minor. The actor Carrie Hein is indeed an American who lives in England with her family. In fact, she can still hear some British accents when she speaks. The brother Timmy in the movie is indeed her brother Christopher Hein in real life.
  • The role played by Michael Bain has to be bitten by another character. It’s very interesting that this happens in every movie he starred in James Cameron, "The Abyss" (The Abyss 1989) and "Terminator" (1984).
  • Al Matthews, who plays a naval officer in the film, is the first black naval officer promoted during his service in the Vietnam War in real life.
  • Since writing "Terminator", James Cameron has become a famous sci-fi movie screenwriter in Hollywood. In addition to writing the script of "Alien 2", at the same time, "First Blood 2" also asked him to be a screenwriter. Cameron was confident that he could write two scripts in half a year and took on these two jobs at the same time. He finished "First Blood 2" first, but the producers kept asking him to modify it, which delayed a lot of time. Before the filming of "Terminator", Cameron only wrote more than 60 pages, and he bit his head. Call to explain the situation. Producer Hill was furious and said, "Don't want to hang up in Hollywood", and hung up the phone. Afterwards, another foreign producer Ji Le looked at his script and thought it was good, saying that they would wait for Cameron to finish filming "Terminator" and then come back to film "Alien 2".
  • Among the alien eggs that have appeared in the film, one of them has been kept for exhibition at the Smithsonian South Research Institute in Washington, USA.
  • Michael Bain was told on the phone on Friday night that Hecks starred in "Alien 2", and will start filming in London next Monday.
  • James Horner had only six weeks to score the soundtrack for the film, but after he arrived in London, he found that the film was actually still being filmed and rarely edited. In order to start his work, he had to sit there and wait for three more weeks.
  • Factual error: Second Lieutenant Gorman mentioned that these pulse guns fired 10mm shellless ammunition. The shellless ammunition in the gun is designed to be used for all bullets and the bullet does not need to be protected by the shell. However, it can be seen in many places in the movie that the pulse gun spit out the shell when shooting.

    Master Zhan has been out of control since then @麻雀瓦舍/Reviewed in June 2017 at the Archives. At that time, the sense of monsters and equipment models was still relatively heavy, and the scenes and small stages were both visually sensitive, but the bionic person, the female warrior who was alone, Important elements such as the alien reproduction system, the dark thrilling atmosphere, and the fear of monsters close at hand have taken shape. Weaver broke into the nest alone to rescue Lolita, drove a mechanical car to fight melee, and the bionic man who was pulled in half by the waist has become a classic paragraph

    Different directors in a series are very interesting. Cameron's 1,000 aliens are not as scary as Scott's, and the claustrophobic atmosphere is almost completely absent. But with all kinds of commercial elements, it became a science fiction war movie, Cameron only enjoyed the theme in 2010. The female Boss is very tough, just send her to destroy the aliens directly. The queen bee was deceived by her feelings...the traditions such as artificial humans have also been maintained, and the mascot has been changed from a cat to Carrie Henn

Aliens quotes

  • Lieutenant Gorman: Hicks, meet me at the south lock. We're coming in.

    Corporal Hicks: Roger.

    Private Hudson: [to Vasquez] He's comin' in. I feel safer already.

    Private Vasquez: Pendejo jerk off...

  • Ripley: Well, somebody's gonna have to go out there. Take a portable terminal, go out there and patch in manually.

    Private Hudson: Oh yeah, sure! With those things runnin' around? You can count me out.

    Corporal Hicks: Yeah, I guess we can just count you out of everything, Hudson.

    Bishop: [speaking under Hicks] I'll go.

    Private Hudson: That's right, man.

    Bishop: I'll go.

    Private Hudson: Hey, why don't *you* go, man!

    Bishop: [more loudly] I'll go.

    Ripley: What?

    Bishop: I'll go. I mean, I'm the only one qualified to remote-pilot the ship anyway.

    Private Hudson: Yeah right, man, Bishop should go.

    [Vasquez looks at Hudson with disgust]

    Private Hudson: Good idea!

    Bishop: Believe me, I'd prefer not to. I may be synthetic, but I'm not stupid.
