I was watching the movie again tonight and I noticed a little square thing on the bill of Apone's hat. I can't tell what it is, anyone know? |

Ask Dom... He will tell you Ripstick knows. Or ask Ripstick... He will tell you Dom knows.  
Truth is it is the tag for the brand of baseball cap they used in the film (it was a rush job). The real question is what brand it is. However are you sure you saw a tag there? 
I don't see one anywhere. 
Nah I'm just messing with you.
The hypersleep and mess hall scenes were filmed last- they probably ripped the tag off by then. |

It clearly says: "This Side Towards Enemy" 
But Ripstick has a different philosophy. You know you're an AL veteran when: You have a pre-established generic reply to an oft-asked question.

Where's Rip? If he doesn't show up soon, someone may have to spill the beans.

Who's got the link to the original thread that answered ALL of these questions, and more? 
The story seems to get more and more embellished everytime it's told!

Of course it's real!!! Are you suggesting Ripstick would fabricate some incredibly intricate fallacy to explain some insignificant 1 cm tag on a 21-yr old cap?!? What's the matter with you?!? |

Yes, this will be the standing orders for 2008. But I love you now (in a manly way ) so does that mean I have to love you more next year

Exactly! 
As if I have nothing but free time on my hands to fabricate this incredibly intri... er, just plain make stuff up!
However, I really should thank my cousin Rachael for getting the scoop on this last year. Since she is still actively on the surfing circuit, she keeps in touch with Roxy Green (Quiksilver/Roxy) in Australia. It was from Roxy that she learned the story behind a little known rush order of hats needed for the Aliens production crew in Buckinghamshire, England. As the original story goes, a girl named Emma in the costume department was putting up a fuss about a box of baseball-type caps that needed to be 'dressed', but were either lost or had never arrived. It was on-set where Al Matthews's daughter Samantha, who at the innocent age of 9, didn't understand what the big deal was. Without giving it a second thought she contacted her friend Roxy, whose dad -- according to her -- made clothes for a living. She asked if her dad could help out with the Aliens 'hat' situation. Well, Roxy's dad turned out to be Alan Green, founder of Quiksilver surf wear. Within 24 hours a box of 12 plain dark blue baseball caps arrived on-set -- just in time to be dressed up with patches and passed out to the crew for use on screen. Although the Roxy brand was not registered and made official until 1991 in the U.S., it still existed as an offshoot of the Quiksilver brand as early as 1985 in Australia. Now doesn't that put everyone's inquiring little minds at ease?

Oh yeah... did I mention how much I love Dom too? But only in a "I'm bleeding to death and stuck in this foxhole so tell my girlfriend I miss her" kind of way.

So you love Dom... if you're trapped in a foxhole with him without your girlfriend? Is this the Marines or Prison? |

Did I mention that I'm bleeding to death, and that I'm probably pumped up on morphine to numb the pain? |
