Although the extended version was not cut by David Fincher himself, Fox also probably cut it according to the director's original intention. The plots of the two versions are quite different.
1. In the extended version, the doctor found Ripley on the edge of the beach, and then went back to save her. The footage of these doctors in the film is quite missionary; the public version is a bunch of prisoners. Opened the cabin and rescued Ripley.
2. In the parallel editing section, the extended version of the alien is from the belly of the cow, and the release version is from the belly of the dog
3. Regarding the role of Golic (lunatic), do you remember that they planned to lock Alien into a nuclear waste warehouse? Basically all of Golic's dramas in the release version were deleted, and the plan to lock Alien into the warehouse also failed. In the extended version, a prisoner sacrificed himself and led the alien into the warehouse. It was successfully locked up. Golic was handcuffed in the infirmary and guarded by Morse. Golic tricked Morse into opening his handcuffs, knocking out Morse, and then going to the warehouse to kill The caretaker released the Alien, and eventually Golic was also eaten by the Alien.
4. The alien queen came out of her chest when Ripley jumped down in the final release. Ripley held the alien queen with both hands and was buried in a sea of flames; there was no such plot in the extended version, so she jumped straight down.
The above are just the main differences that I remember after reading, some specific details may not have been noticed yet. Generally speaking, the difference is quite big. In fact, it is worthwhile to play with the fact that Golic wants to release aliens. Maybe just like the biochemical people in Alien 1, they all worship aliens. Maybe David Fincher is thinking about it. Let Golic replace the previous biochemical character, but the film does not have too much explanation, which is a pity, but it feels good to dig it carefully. Although Alien 3 has suffered a lot of negative reviews, I still like the feeling of the religious atmosphere in the film. This is the first full-length film directed by David Fincher. New director + big IP. It is conceivable that there will be many conflicts with Fox due to the lack of voice in all aspects. In this case, it is actually quite good to have your own style. It is not easy. It is estimated that David Fincher still took a lot of thought to persuade Fox to keep something hahaha.
