THINGS I LEARNED FROM THIS FILM.

Hello Folks:

I am about to put in my two cents on what I learned about this film. I need the rest of you guys to help do the same. Ready? Here goes:

1. Titan, one of Jupiter's moons, has some alien eggs hidden deep in some of its crevices.

2. The state of West Germany will continue to exist throughout the future.(?)

3. For special research missions that require going into the dark and unknown, all that is required is just ONE security officer who is armed and trained.

4. Once you are killed/infected by an alien, you are able to breathe in space.

Any more?

5. West German astronauts to be lecherous old men.

6. Hand to hand combat with a slimy monster on the surface of titan without a space suit is ill-advised!

7. In a competition of giving a big slimy monster the 'evils', bets are on the monster winning. 8P

Despite its flaws I still think this film is great entertainment!

8: If your colleague tells you to sit next to a sinister alien pod 'for scale' while he takes a photograph, tell him to *beep* off.

9: If Bryce asks you to go hill walking with her, make sure you pack a map and compass.

10: Klaus Kinski can eat a sandwich in a really memorable way.

11: A dude in a rubber suit masquerading as an alien should only ever be glimpsed on screen for a second or two at a time.

12: Death at the hands of this particular alien may give you a kind of 80's Bowie-style makeup job.

That's about it for now, but much, much love for this film. It scared the living cremola out of me when I was a kid and having just watched it again recently, aside from it's Alien rip-off elements, it was awesome.

Concerning #2, few people expected the Soviet Union to collapse anytime soon in the 80s.

14. If your wearing space suit and in a hostile environment and you know that if you take off your helmet your going to die. But if one of your crew members who was just killed a few hours ago come up to you naked in space. You don't have to worry about that helmet. Your going to get laid.

15. In space man is just another butterfly.

16. Its a good idea to jumpkick an alien.

17. Always poke at it to see if its really dead don't waste the bullets.

18. If the space station your on is about to be totally destroyed and everyone on it including you be killed by an incoming ship, just keep your cool, don't get too excited, and just say "holy sh*t" like it is a minor inconvenience.

Going by the dialogue it sounds like the space station wasn't actually destroyed, that thing was damn tough to take a hit at 10,000 kilometers per second!

19. If you're the main character you can survive without a suit on Titan for a couple minutes. If you're the heroine you can go without your helmet for 10 seconds but will cough up some blood. Anyone else will die the moment their helmet comes off.

20. If you have your choice of creepy space exploration missions, choose the mission that has a psychic/superstitious/precognitive hot woman as part of the crew. Once she thinks she's going to die, she'll immediately want to get laid by you.

Susan: "I guess I'm being silly but...something about this trip..."
Jon: "It's the fear of the unknown. It's natural."
Susan: "I'm not coming back."
Jon: "Of course you are! What are you talking about?"
Susan: "No, I...I can feel it. Make love to me. Please?"
Jon (thinking): Hot Damn!! YESSSS!!!!
