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!

On another forum I visit, someone asked about an Aliens advert. I don't watch adverts, so I don't remember this one, but someone here might know what it is.

Can anyone help? Here is his message:

Quote:
does this jog any memories? me and a mate have been racking our brains for years trying to remember what this advert was for! i've posted up on a couple of TV-Ad web sites to no avail - even emailed a couple of the companies who i though it was but neither of them remembered it.

it was a send-up of Aliens - a space marine, called Brad, is cautiously stalking through a spaceship on the lookout for an alien. our POV is split between watching Brad, and then a 1st-person of some alien zooming through these tunnels towards him.
every so often, some chap over an intercom asks him if he "can see it yet?" "Nope."
alien suddenly bears down on him from above. he looks up, drops his weapon, and runs off set shouting "SHHHUUUUURRRE!"
cut to outside of ship, then display of advertised product (unsure what this is, but im thinking Kit Kat, Weetabix, Beer, etc. etc.)
im desperate! can anyone help me??

Sounds a bit scary and the ASA don't like any advert being scary, so it was either for a product non-child related; beer, anti-perspirant ('Sure for Men'?) or similar.

I don't remember it at all though. :)

PVB: Sure for Men sounds quite likely, with him shouting SURE!

Glenn: At least someone remembers it! I had a look on YouTube, but didn't find anything.

Gelnn: when my work load is light again, I can always do you some Vhs to digital transfers if you like.
I should have all my gear back in my house by the end of July which would make that possible.
