Without Fincher's ridiculous art takes, long takes and ridiculous murder subplot. Of course, the Fincher dudebro film cultist minions have succeeded in eradicating the theatrical cut out of existence, much to everyone's loss.
shareMmmmm I remember preferring the Assembly Cut over the theatrical, it has been almost 20 years since I last watched the theatrical version though.
shareThe theatrical version leaces you wondering what the fuck happened to Golic. It also negates Ripleys sacrifice at the end seeing as she couldn't have been saved anyway because the Alien was erupting from her as she plummeted in to the furnace.
shareI missed the chestbursting moment from the extended version, I always figured that Ripley was trying to destroy all physical evidence of the Xenomorph. But then again, the Xenomorph left traces of itself (sloughed skin, etc) all over the place, so DNA was plentiful for the resurrection in the next movie.
I thought Ripey killed the last "queen" and the DNA would technically only reproduce the warrior breeds.
don't even know anymore but would've loved if this was the LAST Alien film.......
