T2 Sarah Connor, because there's something far more reassuring about her than Vasquez. Vasquez would probably get you killed, and she's clearly insubordinate.

That's a terrible thing to do to us.

It's hard to decide. Sarah Connor just put up her bed and used the bottom bar to become a badass. Vasquez is also already a badass and she kill good. She was also in T2 as the foster mother.

Robocop kinda fits, why not the Verhoeven-sphere? I say Ver-hoi-ven you say Ver-höv-en, probs both wrong.

i believe there might be a strong significance with the movie robocop but i'm not quite sure, sorta like the back to the future series being a significant movie series and somehow connected.

I just looked up interviews on youtube with Paul Verhoeven to see if someone said his name. I'm not sure if he's correct but the interviewer said Paul Ver-hoe-ven. Hoe like the garden tool. Hoh.

Vasquez encountered xenos in Aliens and the T1000 in T2 so she's got the leg up on experience I guess. They both do good pullups though so I dunno

E: wait she's also crossover buddies with two badasses in both movies so she's well-networked too. Vasquez 100%

Being a Dutch name, pronouncing it corrrectly would be closer to Ver-hoo-ven. In order for it to be pronounced Ver-hoe-ven, it would actually be spelt Verhooven though.

Vasquez died both times. Sarah Connor is still kicking around after fighting off two types of Terminator. Sarah Connor wins :colbert:

After the events of The Terminator Sarah Connor bumped around Central & South America learning how to fight & do poo poo. Does that mean she was running with rebels during the Central American Crisis? FARC in Colombia?

I love how jacked Linda Hamilton got for T2. When I was a kid, it took me a while to process that Sarah Connor in Terminator and Sarah Connor in T2 were played by the same person.

Obviously her losing the deeply 80s hairstyle from The Terminator was a big factor in that too.

Fun fact: Vasquez was played by Jenette Goldstein.



People Magazine posted:

JENETTE GOLDSTEIN

Arguably the most memorable of the Space Marines featured in Aliens, Jenette Goldstein's PFC Jenette Vasquez was her first film role, and it won her a Saturn Award. Goldstein would appear alongside Aliens costars Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton in Kathryn Bigelow's vampire Western Near Dark and go onto roles in Star Trek: Generations and Titanic. She is currently the proprietor of a large-cup bra specialty store called Jenette Bras.

Also, the actress for Newt retired from the business early to become a teacher.

She was mad shape but to the point where it was kinda weird. Like 'monkey skeleton wrapped in sinew and injection-molded inside a David Byrne suit' weird

I recognized Carrie Henn (and verified it was her) at a house party in Rancho Cucamonga, CA in the late 90s when I was in the service and never approached her because I was a starstruck nerd. That is my one lifetime celebrity story

I forgot Goldstein was in Near Dark. That movie also had Bill Paxton, Lance Hendrikson, and was directed by Katheryn Bigelow.

I want to watch that movie again. Vagrant vampires need to make a comeback.

I’d take the one who experienced her own death thousands of times over the other 2. Vasquez was a badass, Sarah Kicked rear end, but I’m going with the angel of Verdun.

Yep, and the line about "illegal aliens" was an in-joke (at the time) to her initial audition (note: Jenette Goldstein had been living in England for something like three years at the time and the only info that she had on the movie was a notice saying "Genuine American actors, British Equity, for feature film Aliens, 20th Century Fox." ):

quote:

“I had seen Alien, but I had no idea this was a sequel. It had been so long ago, it didn’t even occur to me. I thought it was about actual aliens, you know, immigrants to a country. I was wondering why they wanted Americans. I figured the movie was about lots of different immigrants to England.”
She did get a second chance to audition however (due to wearing a sleeveless blouse which showed off her gymnast's arms), this time dressed for the part, and the rest is history!

Also true, and if you're only going to be in one movie then it might as well be Aliens. She's also stayed in contact with Sigourney Weaver ever since!

Near Dark was great, as well as getting the cast of Aliens back together in a completely different type of movie.

You’re right. A jacked lady fighting off aliens in an awesome sci fi movie has nothing to do with this thread, you nincompoop.
Edge of tomorrow is a great movie and if we can talk about the terminator and Starship Troopers in this thread, edge of tomorrow is fair game too.
Plus the Hudson crossover. Man I was bummed when I found out he had died.

Vasquez won a loving grappling match with an alien, put a boot to it's head and blew it's goddamn head off. Nothing Sara Connor did even comes close to that and no human in the entire Alien franchise ever showed that level of physical domination over the xenomorph.
