Aliens extended edition runtime

There's a scene of the colony, before contact with the aliens, in this scene we see a sign outside the colony reading: "Hadleys Hope - pop. A scene where the colonists receive company orders telling them to explore the derelict spacecraft. Newt's family drives to the site and during the trip Newt and her brother Timothy are arguing about a game of hide and seek that they play in the colony's air duct system.

Timothy complains that Newt has the unfair advantage of being able to hide in the small places that the rest of the players can't get to. Following this, they arrive at the derelict ship and the mother and father go in; later the mother returns dragging the father who now has a facehugger clamped on his face. During the sequence in Ripley's apartment where they attempt to convince her to go investigate the lack of contact with the Colony , Ripley asks Burke what his interest is, in which he replies that the Company co-financed the colony.

Immediately following the establishing shot of the Sulaco, there is a restored introduction to the interior of the ship, showing empty tables, lockers, weapons, equipment, and both dropships. The pan of the ship eventually leads to the frost-covered hypersleep chamber from which the crew awakens.

During the drop from the Sulaco to LV, is a restored scene of Hudson playfully boasting about the Marines and their weaponry. He tells Ripley he and his squadron of Marines will protect her. He also tells her the dropship carries every weapon from knives and sharp sticks to 'nukes'. During the Marines' initial search through the colony, a sequence has been inserted in which Hudson and Vasquez investigate some motion they have detected ahead of them.

It turns out to be pet hamsters walking around in their cage. Ripley pauses before entering and Hicks stays behind to ask if she's okay. She says "yes" and enters the complex. During Hicks' description of the equipment salvaged from the APC wreckage, additional dialogue has been added in which he describes the four remote sentry guns. When Ripley and the Marines examine the colony's blueprints, discussing how they will barricade themselves inside the complex, there is some additional dialogue referring to the strategic placement of the sentry guns.

Why don't we sit down? I was hoping to wait until after the inquest. And that was at the time of her death.

Which was two years ago. I'm real sorry. Ripley touches the photo. Ripley: " Amy No children. I checked. Her 11th birthday. Said licence is hereby suspended indefinitely.

These proceedings are closed. The camera tracks up and we see the human colony. A vehicle honks and a door opens. The vehicle drives through the complex and the camera switches to an interior view of a commando room. A man called Al grabs a coffee and walks through the headquarters. He says: " I'll be down in Maintenance, okay? Past the Hillgem rings? Wants to know if his claim will be honoured. I don't know Some honch in a cushy office on Earth says go look at a grid reference.

We look. They don't say why, and I don't ask. I don't ask because it takes two weeks to get an answer out here and the answer is always 'Don't ask. Lou admonishes them: " You kids know you're not supposed to be on this level.

Go on, get outta here! Then we have an exterior view of the planet's surface. The vehicle we have just seen blazes a trail over the uneven surface of the planet. Interior view, obviously the vehicle contains the little Newt and her family. Timmy: " You go in places we can't fit. That's why I'm the best! I catch either of you playing in the air ducts again, I'll tan your hides. Notably, two of the largest additions in the extended cut — scenes set on LV before the Xenomorph outbreak begins — had not had their special effects finished during the film's production and thus remained incomplete.

For the LaserDisc release, Cameron returned to visual effects artists Robert and Dennis Skotak and had them finish the sequences so that they could be included in the extended cut of the movie. Cameron had originally intended for the footage added to the Special Edition to be included in the film's theatrical release. However, 20th Century Fox representatives thought the film was showing "too much nothing" and spent an unnecessary amount of time building suspense. Due to the lateness of the changes, virtually all of the additional sequences were retained in the novelization of the film by Alan Dean Foster.

Since its release, Cameron has described the Special Edition as his preferred cut of the movie and the version he always intended people to see. Initially, the Special Edition of Aliens was said to be a strictly time-limited release that would only be on sale for a period of days, after which it would never been seen again, [6] but this later proved not to be the case and it has been included in virtually all home video releases of Aliens since.

It is not clear if this was a reversal on Fox's part resulting from the unexpected success of the alternate cut — the Special Edition VHS sold over , units in the first five weeks of release in the United Kingdom alone, on top of some , units of the original theatrical cut that had already been sold [7] — or whether the situation was simply a sly marketing ploy from the studio to push initial sales.

Here follows a complete rundown of the differences between the theatrical release of Aliens and the extended Special Edition. The scenes that were included in the CBS broadcast are additionally noted.
