Other great scenes that spring to mind: For me, the best scene in the film is when the marines get trapped inside the cooling tower. ![]() Also, of course, represented in Ripley is a woman who loves her cat and uses her maternal instinct to defeat the biggest, baddest Alien of all - with that awesome fucking loadlifter thing. In other words, stop jerking yourselves raw over the defeat of Communism. Anyhow, all this bluster and ra-ra USA-ism is no match for the Aliens. Serious, Vasquez and Drake spend most of the film with the world’s largest strap-on phalluses rigged to them via steady-cam mounts. You’ve got the toughest marines in the galaxy - sweaty, brutal, unrefined - and they’ve got the best and biggest guns imaginable. One way to look at Aliens is as a subversive commentary on the gung-ho militarism of the 80s. Really, it shouldn’t even be here, but it’s too late to turn back now. As an 80s Action entry, it destroys the genre. What’s the opposite of bad? Oh yeah, Off the Hook Motherfucking Amazing!! As a film, Aliens is incredible. Thank you Satan for DVDs with director’s cuts. For no apparent reason whatsoever (and no justifiable reason at that) they were left out of the theatrical release. Especially when you take the awesome Sentry Gun scene into account - robotic guns that lay waste to a couple battalions of creatures. Now, if you are talking number of Aliens who died… well, that’s a huge number. ![]() All said and done, thirteen deaths occur during the course of the movie. This is one of those rare instances where the quality of the Corpse Count totally transcends the quantity. Oh, and for you fellas, there is that scene where all the dudes are walking ’round in their underroos and most of them are pretty sexy. Cameron, thank you! And of course, Ripley, in her half-shirt and curiously tiny panties, helped the cause, too. For this reason alone, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Aliens. Vasquez and the “curiosity” that young girls suddenly felt for one another. I claim that much of it has to do with Pvt. Yet, in the 90s and today, ugly fuckers like me can fairly routinely get two girls to go down on each other while we get to slam both of them. Think about it - the 70s were all about free love, yet how much guy-on-two-plus-girls action did any of you old timers get? My guess not very much. Jenette Goldstein’s portrayal of the tougher-than-nails uber-machine gun welding female grunt is the reason that so many of us are able to enjoy threesomes today.
