I've always wished that 90's cinema had produced an honest-to-god Lethal Weapon vs Predator movie. I know Glover is in Pred 2, and that movie is great, but it's not the same. What if Riggs was running through traffic chasing a city bus with the Predator on it but the Predator gets the upper hand on Riggs, who pops his shoulder out of it's socket to save himself somehow. Or if Murtaugh's daughter goes missing and the pair is in the basement of Roger's still under-renovation house looking at photo albums and Riggs is choking back insane rage as he says something like "Rog, I swear on my life that we will get her back!" And the police captain doesn't believe in aliens and he's sick of their poo poo the whole time and there's smooth saxophone riffs cutting through the movie. And also Gary Busey. Of course they almost catch the Predator once in a dark alley and it gets away, but leaves behind Joe Pesci's spine. At the end Murtaugh rolls his neck and shoots the Predator between the eyes with his magnum and says "Your hunting license has just been revoked!" This all-time blockbuster writes itself, how in the gently caress didn't this not get made twenty five years ago?

The Predator imitating Riggs doing Curly impressions, Chris Rock doing a 5 minute standup routine in the middle of the film for no apparent reason, its all there.

So this thread got me to watch Aliens again, and I forgot about how Bishop has to crawl through the little pipe to set up the transmitter. The thought of that scares me more than anything else in the movie.

"It'll take me 40 minutes or whatever to get their if I crawl the 180 metres, or about a minute if I Usain Bolt it"

VikingSkull posted:yeah it's this The novelisation has an alien attempt to attack him while he’s in the pipe, because he’s making a lot of noise, but it doesn’t press the attack when it realises he’s not human. Caveat: I haven’t read it since 1986, apologies if I’m misremembering.

For the Bishop argument, human or not I think the queen recognized him just fine as a threat and eliminated that threat. Aliens would kill Bishop if they found him.

I love that detail.

"wtf am I supposed to do with this? Here." It's great that the person hands him the gun, turns around, Bishop gives it to someone else and gets moving.
