1. James Cameron met the producer of this film for other movies at the time. After receiving this film, he will hand over "First Blood 2", "Terminator" and "Alien 2" within a few months. Script, probably in 83-84

2. James Cameron said that all the films he made are romance films. For example, this film is about maternal love and responsibility

3. Sigourney Weaver looks at the picture of her mother as a picture of her daughter who has been dead for many years in the plot

4. The opening of the laser gun at the beginning of the movie exceeded the budget and was filmed by James Cameron at his own expense.

5. Cameron said that he hopes to inherit the advantages of the first alien, such as long mirrors and sets

6. The opening paragraph was cut a lot in the final theater release, because Fox hopes that the film length will be controlled at 2 hours and 10 minutes to get the most possible schedule per day

7. Due to a tight budget, there are only four capsule freezers in the opening part of the film, and the other 12 are made by mirrors. Can you find where the mirrors are?

8. Cameron looked like he was only in his 20s at the time, and he ran into a lot of trouble in the British Pinewood studio, because there are usually no such young producers/directors. Fortunately, there is an alien stylist Stan Winston who is on the set. Mellon

9. In the last stage of the nuclear explosion, a light bulb was used to wrap cotton, and there was really no money for special effects.

    Personal rating 8.6/10 Rewatch. The change in the tone of the image is indeed inevitable. After all, for Cameron, who is good at commercial blockbusters, "copying the previous work" is definitely a misstep. Therefore, this "Alien", which "simplifies complexity", is slightly better than the previous work, with less metaphors and more straightforwardness, but the look and feel is much improved than the previous work. "Abandoned" the gloomy style of the previous work, but "fitted" the alien body and the scene to create a different horror atmosphere and a wonderful lens design. Of course, as a commercial blockbuster, the visual effects and story quality of this film are also excellent, the fighting scenes are also very enjoyable, as well as the impressive texture and lightning special effects. PS: It is true that the neighbors compared this film with the domestic monster fighting water film, and I really can't fix it. Is the real shooting with the heart and the third-rate special effects? (not to mention the story)

    Captain Ripley finally put on the weightlifting mecha and fought against the aliens. The episode is too powerful. The "Alien" series is still the second best, which is breathless~
