Although the original "Alien" was scarier, the sequel "Aliens" was by far a superior action/adventure, sci-fi, horror movie that kept the adrenaline pumping the entire film, with special effects that still stand up even after 20 years.
Where They Are If you're a rugged Space Marine like Private Vasquez and are going to hunt vicious aliens, you only need to know one thing: where they are. |
Synthetic Remember Bishop, the heroic android from 'Aliens'? He risked his life to save the others. Not that he wasn't worried, though. After all, he may have been synthetic, but he wasn't stupid. |
Only Way to Be Sure What do you do when the aliens have killed most of your men and overrun the facility? Well, as Ripley would say, it's best to take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure |

I Love the Corps Sgt. Apone really loved the Space Marine Corps. To him, every day in the Corps was like a day on the farm. Every meal a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! |
Game Over! For a Space Marine, Hudson sure did whine a lot. When faced with a horde of rampaging aliens, all he could say was "Game over, man!" |
Elevator to Hell When the Space Marines in "Aliens" headed for the infested planet, Hudson jokingly called the trip an express elevator to hell. He had no idea how right he was. Going down! |

Wierzbowski! "Aliens" is an all-time classic, and my favorite line of all is when Hicks repeatedly shouts out "Wierzbowski!" We may never know who Wierzbowski was, but we'll never forget his name.... |
Bug Hunt All the Space marines wanted to know ahead of time was whether this was going to be a standup fight or another bug hunt? Who knew bugs could be that big? |
Nostromo Fans of "Alien" will remember Lieutenant Ripley's final log entry after defeating the title creature: "This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off." |
