Absolutely great flick imo. Alien Isolation the game is fantastic homage to the movie.

You may as well watch the extended version of all three movies. I mean eventually. But definitely try to find the extended versions.

God speed, movie niggers.

Perhaps ai shall join you one of these nights.

The blue laser lights that were used in the alien ship's egg chamber were borrowed from "The Who". The band was testing out the lasers for their stage show in the soundstage right next door.

For the chestburster sequence, John Hurt stuck his head, shoulders and arms through a hole in the mess table, linking up with a mechanical torso that was packed with compressed air (to create the forceful exit of the alien) and lots of animal guts (which, according to Sigourney Weaver, caused the set to smell horribly). The rest of the cast were not told that real blood and guts were being used, so as to provoke genuine reactions of shock and disgust. Apparently, this worked so well that Yaphet Kotto went home in complete shock afterwards, locking himself in a room and refusing to talk to his wife for several hours.

Contrary to the myth, the chestburster scene was NOT filmed in one take. The scene was filmed twice: on the first take, the chestburster was unable to cut through Kane's shirt, so the crew needed to reset and shoot it again. The failed attempt is visible in the finished film, since director Ridley Scott thought it made it look like the creature was struggling to push its way out, and made the scene more violent (see The Beast Within: The Making of 'Alien' (2003) documentary where this is discussed). According to designer Ron Cobb, the two takes of the scene were shot from multiple angles, and about 40 minutes of footage was available for screening.

You should watch predator instead. Alien is lame for having a female lead.
