parts of this sound very derivative of "Brainstorm", an earlier work of Horner's. Love his stuff but every new thing sounds like something he's did before.
He used his middle finger to point at his eye, so I guess that had something to do with the overall message. I'm from the United States and I have never seen someone do that, except to directly reference the movie.
@CaliforniaTD:Pulling the lower eyelid is known in Germany and I guess in other European countries, too. Possibly it’s just a combination, like a double finger, if you like.
@CaliforniaTD I think its just a clever(read: slightly less direct than saying fuck you and flipping someone off) way to convey a flip off like the oil can or the mountain rising out of the sea.
The money invested in forcing the actors to go through hardcore training with an ex-marine so paid off. They didn't seem like a bunch of actors that were just handed toy guns. You can feel their weariness and camaraderie. One of the main reasons this is the best action sci-fi of all time (a dazzling script, pitch perfect direction, truly classic effects...)
I love this track! One of the best in the movie! I even have it on my MP3 player and listen to it while working! lol I love how it kicks into a really fast paced frenzy near the end! I work at a fast paced physical job so it is really fun listening to it! :D Aliens is in my top 10 favorite movies ever made! :D
Hudson: I'm ready, man, check it out. I am the ultimate badass! State of the badass art! You do NOT wanna fuck with me. Check it out! Hey Ripley, don't worry. Me and my squad of ultimate badasses will protect you! Check it out! Independently targeting particle beam phalanx. Vwap! Fry half a city with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phase-plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks...
@atti97 I imagine some good come-back lines for Ripley to say back at Hudon: "Independently targeting particle beam phalanx. Vwap! Fry half a city with this puppy. " Ripley (saying it real seriously, with an attitude): Only half? "We got tactical smart missiles, phase-plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks..." Ripley: How much did that all cost you at Toys R Us? You probably got it all in the discount section, huh?
"All Right Sweethearts we're a team and there's Nothing to Worry about, we come here, and we are gonna conquer, and we are gonna kick some! is that understood?"
"Yes Sir!" "That's what we're gonna do sweathearts we're going to go and get some, ALL RIGHT SWEETHEARTS ON THE READY LINE! ARE YOU LEAN?" "YEAH!" "ARE YOU MEAN?" "YESSS!" "WHAT ARE YOU!?" "LEAN MEAN MARINES!!!!!"
As a kid, all my friends thought Arnold and Stallone and Willis were the shit. Screw em. Michael Biehn was the one who showed one little kid that if monsters were real, you could kick their fucking asses.
this is simply a great track. i hate it when this happens if films, where instead of the music meant for the scene its replaced with something not even close to what could be even a greater scene
Apone: All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the Corps!
Agreed Lt Gorman was an asshole as you put it, but in the end he stayed with Vasquez and blew himeself and her up plus a few Aliens in the airduct. "How many drops is this for you Lieutenant?" "Thirtyeight. Simulated." "How many combant drops?" "Er two. Including this one." "Shit." "Oh man!" Greta soundtrack for this movie though one of the best.
I can't believe this song was scrapped from the film (in favor of a simple drum theme) when the Colonial Marines were preparing for the drop. This is sooo much better!
Your such a badass, Vasquez...
