Aliens- Combat Drop Alternate Version

This is a re-edited version of the combat drop sequence from Aliens, using an unused track from composer James Horner's score for the film. The alternate music begins around 2:30. In order to make the music fit, I had to cut out Hudson's rant about superior firepower, but everything else is the same.

Fun fact: Private Vasquez, the "tough guy" female soldier, is also in the Titanic movie, playing the famous but unnamed role of the ginger-haired Irish mother who reads a bedtime story to her kids as the ship sinks. She was also John Conners foster mother in T2 and later briefly was the T-1000 after he took over her body.

what I loved about this movie is that although Ripley is the main character, they didn't over-focus on her. They allowed all the supporting side characters to develop their specific arcs. We got to see each character's attributes, attitudes, and personalities. As the movie progressed, Ripley's role progressed. Really good bit of storytelling.

All that running and yelling when they load on the drop ship - and drop - pretty much - no. The impression I've gained is that they're mostly quiet and mentally focused on their jobs. Hicks falling asleep - it probably the most realistic. The chatter by the air crew is OK. The other thing is - they show these guys chambering rounds before they board the drop ship. That is typical Hollywood. You would not want to chamber a round until you were about to land because an accidental discharge could have a negative effect on the drop. How negative would depend on what it hit - but - putting a hole in a space ship when you don't have enclosed helmets and space suits - would not be a good thing. Being in an APC you might not have a penetration of the drop ship - but - if the round didn't penetrate the APC - it might just bounce around inside it - which would also not be a good thing. .

@@hoppy6437 I didn't mention that this is a very good film. So - my remarks about it's inaccuracies are just for the purpose of pointing out when something is Hollywood rather than real. You're always going to have problems with reality in a movie like this - because - it's in the script that the unit will be destroyed by the Aliens - the only question is - how are they going to do it. As good as this movie is - and I really liked it - this operation was set to fail from the get go - when they only assigned one squad to it. That - and the idea that there was no crew to their space ship was absurd. Here - the Aliens are represented as an unstoppable force - when they were not really all that tough. On the Nostromo - in _Alien_ - their acid based blood was a problem in that it could eat through the ship - but then - all the crew had to do was don space suits and blow the thing to hell. Then patch up the holes. But - that is common place among monster movies - in that it isn't so much that the monster is a total bad ass - as the humans it is killing are stupid. .

This scene emits such a high confidence level that it gave me strength to ask my school's cheerleader out. Everything after that was five by five.

Yep. She even reacted offensively by trying to draw her pistol when the alien surprised her in the cockpit of her dropship. No high pitched terrified screaming or freezing up, but reacting like the badass marine she was trained to be.

Ditto. Afterwards, anytime I heard a Starcraft dropship report-in, it made me think of her. She also influenced my playstyle in Apex legends team communication.

@@Zkkr429 yes toys, people just blind with "back then, in my times, the past always better" If the old days were better, then leave KZfaq, internet, all modern stuff. CGI is just a tool, as those "toys" were to tell a story, CGI can bring worlds, characters special effects will never do. And is so true what I'm saying, that when something new, a new tool appears to creat movies. Cry babies will talk about how CGI was better.

I'd argue that it's not cyberpunk, which tends to go for style over substance when it comes to tech. The 'military' aspect of the production design took precedence over the 'sci fi' aspect, and the result was futuristic military stuff that looked much more grounded than a lot of other SF military gear. Cyberpunk movies, games and other media seem to prefer military gear that was made to look and sound futuristic, without regard to practicality.

@weldonwin 9 ай бұрын

@@mattrobson3603 I recall some of the concept art by Sid Mead, which was way more sci-fi looking, with the Sulaco being more globe-shaped, the dropship was more like a flying wing and the APC would dock into a notch in the bottom of the dropship, becoming part of the fuselage. It all looked really cool, but really didn't fit the grounded look Cameron was going for
