Which ALIEN design did you prefer out of: AVP & AVPR

[SiL]

The thing with the scene is that the alien has no hold to its feet or anything, it lifts Parker with its tail, at the same time holding his head in its hands. How could it even come in the height to disappear? The feet are clearly just hanging.

It jumps. With its tail.

They just forgot to add the "Boooiiing" sound effect.

These lazy filmmakers again!!

Seriously?



I always figured it was raising and lowering itself using the tail to hang onto things above. Never really noticed the tail just hanging there.

Are you serious? Ridley Scott never mentioned this.

[SiL]

I'm joking.

But it does lower itself on its tail at the beginning of the scene, and it does twist before rising straight up into the air.

[SM]

Wait - Pvt Hicks thought there was really supposed to be a boing sound? 

Well maybe if an Alien was hosted by Zebedee from the Magic Roundabout.

[Pvt. Hicks]

No, I was kidding.

[SM]

You say that now...

Starts to sing *I believed I could fly*

Fleas can jump 200 times their own body length, whose to say the Alien can't do the same? At 7ft tall it might be able to jump 1400 ft. That could easily account for what is seen when the Alien seems to fly up with Brett. The position of the legs in the air have nothing to do with anything either.

[Johnny Handsome]

Of course it has to do that the alien has its legs up in the air, with what is it going to jump then?
After headbiting bred, he falls to the ground and you see the alien grabbing his head with its feet up into the air, how is it going to jump?

Whose to say that my dog cant do the same, OH wait, whose to say that i cant do the same? Ohh yeah right, I'm not a flea, neither is the Alien.

Yeah, but both you and your dog have an intensely studied biology, whereas the Alien does not, its full capabilities especially at the time of Alien are completely unknown and while a flea and Alien aren't the same the Alien is much closer to the Flea in design than you or your dog.

When were its feet in the air? It landed on the ground before it bit Brett.

No it didn't, it's still in the air when it headbites Brett, it never touches the ground in the scene and therefore it cant jump. So the whole flea theory is useless.

the Alien is much closer to the Flea in design than you

You sure about that? 

[Deadmeat]

So it was a small error that the filmmakers didn't notice.

I think whether its feet were touching the ground or not- it is implied that it jumps, seeing as how the Aliens don't have wings last time I checked and the fact that his arms were wrapped around Brett means he wasn't climbing up a chain. The fact that is feet weren't touching the ground which I'll take your word for is just a blooper, which nearly all movies have. Pretty obvious.
