Wasn't needed. It's safe to say that most of the audience was like me, too young to see it in the cinema when it was released (didn't stop me trying to blag my way into the cinema at the time even though there was no way in hell 11 year old me was going to convince the staff I was old enough to watch it  whistle: ).

I now know that I'm not the only person who has ended up jumping at the scene where Burke shoves his head right up against the facehugger in the stasis jar. It moved to attack and the entire audience jumped even though we knew what was coming.  lol:

Why the hell couldn't the studio use William Gibson's script for Alien 3 as it would have followed on from this film and was a damn good story (So good that I suspect Ridley Scott 'borrowed' some aspects of it for his two films, although I am reluctantly willing to stretch the bounds of my cynicism and accept it could just be a mahoosive coincedence...).

American Werewolf in London and the original Evil Dead film have already been arranged for Halloween. While I'm going to give it a shot something tells me they are going to be far more entertaining than the latest in the Halloween series.

Aliens  cloud9:  one of my top 10 films.  Far far better than Alien

While I do like Alien, Aliens has to be the best film that has come out of that franchise.  :thumbsup:

Yep, some times sequels out do the originals

Russia with Love is far better than Dr No (and Goldfinger even better), Wrath of Khan than Star Trek, Empire Strikes Back is a real plot film and many say Godfather part 2 is better than Godfather (I don't)

And perhaps the best example is Life of Brian outdoes Holy Grail

From Russia with Love is the best Bond novel by far, and the best film.

There's been a rumour floating around for a while now that Life of Brian is getting the Spamalot treatment, I'm not convinced it will ever happen but if it does I'll be there like a shot.  :thumbsup:
