Just rocking Aliens today. I saw a few good shots of Hudsons hinge tattoo during the dropship "ultimate badass" scene...

No screenshots sorry.

Could this be a sticky?

Had to look all the way back to page 15 to find this thread.

Been a while since I've seen, let alone posted in this thread… nice to see it's still going strong and lots of new posts I hadn't seen! I may have a thing or two to add later on... Just want to make sure it hasn't been covered already!

Great thread, just watched Aliens this morning for the first time in a while. First time watching the extended version, as well.

Apone has a tattoo on his left forearm but I can't make out what it says/is. Could be a real tattoo.



Frost also has what appears to be a skull with a bloody knife clenched in the teeth that reads "BAD ASS" under it tattooed on his right shoulder.



Someone asked what the text on the chest probes said:

"Cardiac Recorders type 445"

As good a place as any to ask I guess. Stumbled across this pic of Dietrich and am wondering what that pouch is above the VP70 holster?

It is just her standard 'small pouch', but it does look funny there. I think it is just squished and tilted back so you can't make out the top flap.

In these images it is a bit more clear that it is the 'standard' one.

Aaaah so it is. Nice one ta.

Hey, speaking of tattoos...We hit this one yet?
"INEZ"?



Another 'prison' tat for everyone's favorite badass with a troubled past? Why does that name sound familiar?

Looks like you guys put a lot of hard work in to this! Wish we had all this info when we were at Alien War in 1993! We did have some of the orgiginal screen used costume/armour/props but not much . Well done to all of you !!

I did have a copy of this sleeveless shirt from a print taken from the original , but it was 24 years ago, no idea what I did with it

Yes confirmed, I remember it on tone of the 2 screen used sets definitely said non toxic

I remember terry English telling me he tied the knot on hudsons knife scabbard, he and his brother did quite a bit of the customising I think, I haven't spoken to Terry for a few years.

Tear drop has garnered a lot of different meanings over the years. Also can be a mark of someone who has been err used so to speak the tattoo isn't always voluntary.

So I asked Mark Rolston (via Twitter) about the odd glyph on Drake's glove. His response:

"It was a silhouette in pink paint of a pair of breasts. What was I thinking IDK? James Cameron just threw us into a room to personalize"

Now that he said it I can't believe I'd missed it!

Def can't un-see the nipples now. One in profile and one front and center. All seems so obvious.

Somebody know what Hicks have written on his AB Pad?

"Non-Toxic". It is most clearly visible in the scene where they are in med lab and the motion tracker first picks up Newt.

When Frost says "Yo, hicks". It can be scene as Hicks strolls over to get a look.

Pretty kool, thanks a lot....
I think its time to get this movie on BluRay...

Seriously! There is SO much more to see in high def. Still amazes me how much we were NOT seeing before the Blu-ray version was available!

Very cool stuff and great to know. A few things though, During prep time Frost was wearing a shirt that reads, "peace through superior firepower," believed to be his undershirt when in full gear.

The thing with Hicks' body armor the reason why it was done that way was because James Remmar was actually casted for that role but due to drugs the role was recasted. Also the scene where they are about to enter the hive (all backs facing the audience) is the only scene that Remmar did.

This thread has been immensely helpful for my writing the last few months. Thanks a bunch.

Is there a complete list of all the little doohickeys Drake has on his necklace?
