Did you know that in aliens, the knife trick scene was originally going to be done by Bishop alone. Henrickson suggested to director James Cameron to have Hudson's hand put on top of his, and Cameron agreed. Everyone on set was told about the change except Hudson.

    Fun fact about one of the actors in this movie: Bill Paxton is the only actor to be killed by a Terminator, a Xenomorph, and a Predator during his acting career.

    Imagine he freaked out to the point where he moves his hand and blame the people for not reminding him about it xD

    The fact they pulled this on Bill Paxton makes it so much better. RIP you legend

    That’s the best way to get an accurate reaction from someone buy not telling them
  • The knife scene was speeded up in post, so the actors were told to slow down the movements, the only one who missed the memo was Al Matthews (Apone) and you can see him laughing comically fast...
  • You can tell, because at first he's slow to respond but slowly builds into "oh shit, this is really happening!" Aliens rules.

    The same thing was done in the original Alien. No one knew about the chest burster scene, everyone's reactions are legit reactions. EDIT: Ok, so apparently this isn't exactly true. The actors knew about the chest bursting scene, they just didn't know how gruesome it would be. My bad.

    Bill Paxton was a great memorable character actor and is missed. His rant in Aliens after the aliens attack and the line "Why don't you put her in charge " referring to tha little girl was hilarious. He was an unknown to me but not after that. Sad to lose him.

    So are we not gonna talk about how the voice over was perfectly in-synced with the actress' mouth movement in the very first clip of this short?

    And thus an iconic scene we’ve all loved from the first time we saw it was born. I can’t watch Alien and Aliens since I just watched them a couple weeks ago

    Odd phrasing: "Everyone on set was told except 'Hudson?" You meant that everyone was told except PAXTON, right? Hudson is a character, Paxton was the actor. Incidentally, Hudson's hand was UNDER Bishop's...
