Vasquez wanted to kill

When Sarah Connor had the opportunity to kill, she chose not to, because she didn't just want to survive, she wanted to save. Sarah Connor is muscly lady Jesus and is therefore the best.

I teach at a girls' school, and I showed my senior students Terminator 2. They all genuinely LOVED Sarah Connor.

That's my Sarah Connor story, thanks for being a great audience.

Sarah Connor and Ripley were up there with Arnie and Sly to us back when we were kids.

As an adult though? We know Vasquez kicks bother their asses. :hellyeah:

Gorman's death is one of my favorite movie redemption stories. Green as goose poo poo, freaks out and freezes up and gets people killed, gets injured and recovers just in time to redeem himself by going back for an injured marine that hated him more than anyone and die together in a blaze of glory and self-sacrifice.

Jenette Goldstein played Jenette Vasquez in Aliens and then in Terminator 2 her character's name was Janelle, because a third Jenette would just be too bad rear end.

(Almost) all of the Marines in ‘Aliens’ share their first name with the actor who played them; the exceptions are (Dwayne) Hicks and (Scott) Gorman. Bishop even has a first name, although he also has an android model number (341-B).

The actors also got to personalize their own Marine armor; Hudson’s literally has a can opener on the codpiece (and the action figure accurately recreates this).

I never noticed the can opener before. Neat little detail.

I heard that Michael Biehn didn't get to customize his own armor like the rest of the cast, because the role was originally played by James Remar (who still appears in the movie in some scenes where you only see the back of Hicks). Remar was supposedly fired for drug posession or something and Biehn was brought in. And it was Remar who got to decorate the armor that Biehn would later inherit, and Biehn didn't particularly care for Remar's aesthetic choices.

I heard the same. Although I heard the reasons Remar quit were directorial differences or something.

They also had a whole boot camp bonding type experience that they purposefully didn't have Gorman be a part of to show how detached he was from everything. He was the outsider.

I also heard of the creative differences argument too. That sounds like a better thing to put down for a "why did you leave your last job?" question than "I was snorting lines off Ripley's cryo-tube".

Semi-Related, they did the same thing on Saving Private Ryan, except they left Mat Damon out of the boot camp so that there would be an overtone of resentment towards him, which would mirror Sgt. Miller and the Ranger's resentment towards Private Ryan.

I wish I could find it, RedLetterMedia did a review of a film on their Best of the Worst that ripped off Aliens virtually scene by scene, even having Vasquez/Gorman suicide in the same way.

Thats not the one I mean, though that is a total rip off too.
The one I am thinking about has someone dressed in a bodywarmer like Burke.

Carnosaur (or 2), I think? And at the end the hero fights a t-rex with a fork lift. Haha.

When Lance et al went on to do Near Dark they did the same thing they did in Aliens with regard to decorating their own props. Lance's duster has an American flag sewn into its inside because he made up a backstory for himself where he was turned during the civil war.

DVD extras were loving great and are why physical media > streaming.

I think it's making a joke that no college tuition has ever gone down over the years so since the mom says it's good to get a break it's clearly a lie.

I've been thinking about Left 4 Dead/Vermintide but its with aliens instead.

So many different alien types to kill. So many weapon loadouts. So much banter between 4 marines as they try and reach a drop zone for evac.

I depress myself sometimes.
