The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

It's on the Aliens Soundboard page- "Hey I'm impressed"

However the page itself is a Flash... uh... thingy.

I wouldn't know how to isolate the file.

Yeah, there's some DOUCHE on another board I'm on who uses "I" as every other word in his posts - he's really quite in love with himself (it's not me, I swear, lol), and I'd love to post that sound bite!

THE line for me has to be "It's Game Over Man!!"

I also like 'uh-oh, now I've done it. Made a clean spot."

"asholes and elbows', 'It's the only way to be sure', 'That ain't funny, man'

'five-by-five' always bothered me - because we could never find a good translation - and it pops up in other shows all the time.

'somebody wake up Hicks', 'anybody mistake you for a man?'

Plus Hudsons' sharp sticks monolog and Apone's I love the corps speach.

Personally I think, "Get away from her you bitch!" is probably the most memorable.

It's a signals thing. First number is clarity of the speech and second number is quality of the signal. 1 being worst & 5 being the best.

Thanks for all the input marines...

I was going to put "It's a bug hunt" on my drop ship, but wanted input on the "most popular".

I'll post a few pics when I'm done.

Many of those lines were good lines even just in the script, because they were funny, context etc.. But "game over, man" is a great line because of Paxton's delivery being so memorable, and now iconic. If some other actor had said that line with a different reading it probably wouldn't have been remembered by anyone.
Not saying Bill Paxton is Robert De Niro, I'm just saying that his version of the line is what makes it stick. Credit where credit is due. And yeah, I think that's the line that most people remember most (especially casual and non-aliens fans). The "Get away from her you bitch" probably second because it was in the trailer and because it was built up in the movie so obviously as a "movie quote line".

I remember seeing "Game over man. Now what the f*** are we supposed to do", "Maybe we could build a campfire, sing a couple of songs", "I guess we won't be leaving..." etc on ETW before seeing the film and thinking it all seemed a bit lame. Then, when you're catching you're breath after the previous 20 minutes, and you're familiar with the characters, it all makes perfect sense. The worst part was: after the next shot of the window shutters closing in the colony building there was a reel change which was a perfect time for my local monoplex to have an intermission :evil:

Not a very accurate quote. :wink:

The lines I usually have people yell at me at conventions are usually "Game over, man" and "Let's Rock!" so, I'd say those are the most memorable for most people.

My personal favorite will always be: "Mira, who's Snow White?" "Supposed to be some kinda 'consultant.' Apparently, she saw an alien once."


I think the one I use most out of that line is the Hudson quote that comes after...

"Apparently, she saw an alien once."
"Well Whoopie f#<in doo."
