  • Fuck Alien 3. It doesn't make sense, and Fincher should have kept Hicks & Newt alive. The direction was a joke. Cameron even complains about this in the Aliens Director Commentary. So how did the egg get there? Who gives a flying shit...Fail.

  • so basicly it was a conspiracy from the company, the comapny knew the whole time remember? they knew it was on baored the sulaco the whole time, of course it still places a question, if they placed and egg there while in hypersleep, where did they get it? that means they already have the alien life form they want already, so now its still confuseing

  • there is no other reaosn how the egg got on it, its was all screwed up, only word i got is, the company, inersepted the sulaco while they wer ein hypersleep after the event aliens happend, placed a stasis egg on the wall of a queen face hugger there dilibritly to infect the people, and by the the time the sulaco returns to earth they will have there aliens ready for capture, but all failed when the acid caused the cryotubes to eject on a pod,wiht the aliens, causeing them to come to fury 161

  • Anyone know what that music is at 5:18?? Tis breathtaking

  • Actually, I've just realised Ridley Scott is ignoring the mythology of every Alien Sequel with Prometheus - he's stated in a recent interview his new movie bears relevance to Alien only, which is great, because then nothing post Alien matters hahaha - it never happened, and Ripley is still floating with Jonesy somewhere in hypersleep :) YAY!!!!

  • Why don't the writers of Alien III just explain this? Put us out of our misery please!

  • i believe the queen brought the egg, as she might have had a "emergency" egg.

  • I would say the queen in a hurried attempt to continue her species, generated not 1 but 2 eggs in the wheel well of the dropship.

  • @deltadart10 actually if you remember correctly she tore herself from her egg sack, plus it was destroyed by riply anyways, and also the queen couldn't have put the egg in the med bay because she was too busy trying to kill newt. so Alien 3 makes no sense what so ever

  • @deltadart10 1 actually, a queen face huggers lays a queen in 1 host, then a second drone to protect the host queen and prepare for a hive

  • navigation time records to make the ship look like as if it just reached lv-426. from here,the marines wake up n none the wiser. by the way,they r sent by weyland-yutani as an insurance policy in case burke failed to bring back the alien specimen. even if he succeed,that will be a bonus specimen.

  • a group of stowaways,consisted of spec-ops team whose mission is solely to bring back an alien specimen. they used the extra cryo stasis pods in the infirmary intended for patients. initially they were hiding. after the marines slept in the their pods,they programmed the marines' pods to sleep longer than it should. when they finish everything,they go to sleep.

    after the ship reached lv-426,they landed 1st n managed to retrieve 2 alien eggs. they return,hide the eggs,n change the ship's

  • This is one of the reasons why this movie shouldn't have been created at all.

  • I think it was the queen. The egg has her glue-goo all over it.  And actually, there were two. The queen egg and then a male/drone. Unless queen eggs carry 'twins' - to make sure the species will go on. ???

  • IT WAS BISHOP!!! That motherfucker!

  • problee a alien or it could be someone who came their while they where in hypersleep (other poeple)

  • And anyway...it's TWO eggs....

    One to impregnate Ripley and one to impregnate the dog (or ox if you're watching the extended cut) :)

  • Aliens 3 has a great deal of Christian imagery and themes woven into it. That was very deliberate on the director and screen writer's approach. Because of that, I've always seen the mysterious egg as a way of pulling off a "virgin birth" with Ripley. The movie slowly strips layers of life away from Ripley until in the end she takes on a Christ role, even with the "devil" tempting her with life right at the end. Finally she takes the position of being on the cross and embraces her death.

  • Burke never made it back to the ship, he died on LV-214. He could not have brought it back to the ship.

    The Queen could have brought the egg on board with her. She could have hidden the egg in the landing gear well and re-positioned it prior to chasing Newt, but before Ripley returned in the power-lifter.

  • @Waltham1892 The Queen couldnt've laid the egg...she tore off her egg sac before the drop ship had even made it back to the Sulaco.

    There's NO explanation for the egg...it's just a colossal fuck up :)

  • @FATTYCHANNEL

    Maybe she carried it with her from the egg chamber.

    We know it wasn't Burke, he never made it to the egg chamber;

    We know it wasn't the driod for the same reason;

    Ditto for the Marine;

    We know it wasn't the kid;

    Sure wasn't Ripley;

    Who does that leave?

  • In the Alien comics there hasn't been an egg on board of the sulaco either

  • Yeah, I always wondered that. It was pretty far leap to magically place an alien egg in the stasis chamber room, when there was clearly no more alien on board the Sulaco and no sign of alien eggs when they were getting into stasis. Alien 3 really wasn't all that great, either. And don't get me started on Alien 4 - Its Erection.

  • Who cares how it got on board. The writers just used it so they had an excuse to make another alien movie (and a good one at that). And it was a very creative way as well.

  • @1980icca they queen doesnt need to be impregnated she just lays eggs

  • I mean, an egg is quite small, it can be hidden, but a giant slimy sack of shit is fucking enormous, and it stinks for sure, and nobody noticed it???

  • but how she was able to generate another egglayer in that short amount of time?. And in case she just did, why nobody noticed it later???

  • The queen laid an egg while being there.... That's obvious. The question is where/how did the second alien get on board???? Remember, there had to be at least 2 "Different" mini aliens on the ship to impregnate the 2.

    I have no idea how the 2nd one got on there either. But the mother alien did lay an egg n the ship. That's obvious!!!

  • i can imagine the queen: "ooh i think i still got one in there." *craps out an egg* "ahh that's better, now to kill ripley

  • @LTamazil LOL!!!!!!!!

  • i always assumed the queen brought the egg onboard....how i dont know.

  • Ohhh I love it, you used the music from Playstation game Alien Trilogy :)

  • maybe it was Santa ?

  • there must have been more than one face hugger, right? One for Ripley and then the other for the big ox who "gave birth" to the alien they are fighting?

  • @lu04maha No it was a royal facehugger who can laid two embryos one queen and one normal so that the normal alien can support the queen by bring hosts. etc

  • @Spore0001 I see, but you never learned that from the movie did you?

  • @lu04maha Well in the special edition of Alien3 when a prisoner picks up the facehugger you can clearly see that it's different from the one we all know and love and a quick browse of the Xenopedia doesn't hurt either!

  • Yes only BISHOP could bring a alien egg on USS SULACO.

  • it was gordon freeman

  • hicks is the true culprit. the hole time Wayland was trying to get there hands on the alien specimen there was another company trying to obtain the alien... a pharmaceutical company known as Umbrella. and their secret operative was hicks. yes, Hicks was the one that snuck the alien aboard the alien the Sulaco

  • good music to go with video :)

  • the writers wanted a fell of horror again in ALIEN an they wanted it to be more growsom like John Carpenters The Thing. an actiony to as ALIENS. so it was a good twist u can say. ripley is in a coma as hicks gets her out in a life boat while he fights his way around the planet saving people! its EPIC! fox said no it cant be doin an they want ripley in it! FUCK THAT! how it ends is that it leads to a ALIEN 4 wre they find the Xenp homeworld AN THEY WANTED Ripley to come back in it! DAMN WHY NOT!?

  • its corny but can be worked out. its about also that wyland industry is having a civil war with earth an they need an army. so they r experementing with xenos at the time before the USS Solaco comes. so as they arive the experement goes crazy causing egss to release a spore in the air causing people to turn into aliens. it sounds stupid but reasonable because of the civil war. wayland needs an army. an hicks bishop an survivors need to get off the planet! lol

  • forget about the mistery on why the egg is there. look up ALIEN 3 Alternate Script. its like WTF why not! James Cameron or Ridley Scott or both would of made it! AND Michael Beihn would of come back for it! in it! Hicks an Bishop r alive. Ripley an Newt r okay but out of the picture. its like. a blade runner like city is infested after they wake up an a different planet. they fight like 8 times, 2 queens, an zero g gravity fights. this is the original writers of alien 1 n 2! WHY NOT! fox said no

  • @KeIIinator i agree with you. well i know what happened to dutch on the predator series and how the shit started.

  • The only reason there was an egg on the Sulaco is because 20th century Fox doesn't know when to leave a good enough franchise alone, and that's the long and short end of it.

  • "who brought it there?"

    did you even Watch the movie??

  • Actually i have the adaptation of ALIEN 3 of the dark horse comics..and in the comic you see how ripley was the alien queen:It was NEWT who have it...the alien come out of newt and enter to ripley body from it mout...that was ripley have the alien queen

  • the real alien is sigurney weaver the cause of the bad threatment Aliens got because of sequels. she let the egg on the sulaco, it's named shit.

  • @HisHeroWasPawned Sgurney Weaver destroyed Aliens. She is the responsable of this shame fuccked fakes sequels. The sequels should be named Sigurney Weaver againsta aliens.

  • When bishop was saving Ripley he could have left... Then after the blast he saw an opportunity to fulfil his mission. Suspecting the queen was always carrying an egg in her, or at least carrying the queen back as a specimen dead or alive.. He took the chance. The queen laid the egg in the drop ship. I believe it was the queen because like bees, queens can start new colonies wherever they go.

  • i think we never know some say it was bad writing other says it was bishop etc. we will never get definite answer.

  • @schapman235 Yes I agree, becus Cameron had his story, and pretty much wrapped the whole thing up by the end of Aliens. He set up nice little twists and stuff with the characters of Carter, and Bishop to keep the flow of a very exhilarating action sci-fi. It was other writers, and the director who tried to build on, and add other stuff after with Alien3. So in essence I have to agree with you wen you said it was bad writing, thats indeed wot I think.

  • @RaikenXion yeah no that's fair enough. they should've made a different story line that made sense that's what i think.

  • @schapman235 Yeh, it wud hav been quite hard to do but more appreciative. I myself do like Alien3, cus it tried to fully end the Ripley saga, so that Hollywood cudnt milk her character anymore. Unfortunately in doing this, the films gained alot of hate from fans, cus many of them feel it undid wot Cameron already wrapped up quite nicely I wud say lol. At same time Ive always felt as great a sci-fi actioner Aliens is, even Cameron undid wot Ridley Scott already started.

  • @RaikenXion yeah true, i hated at first cause it killed hicks Newt off would've loved more character development first. but i grew to like alien 3 because it went back to the style of the first film and the fact no matter how bad these criminal's crimes where they are still human. true i think your right about Cameron did but i like his direction.

  • @schapman235 Yes Ive always liked Cameron, hes a great director, and has made sum very exhilarating films, that always hav solid, well developed characters, that arnt flat but very much human. All his films r great his abslute masterpieces many will say Titanic and I agree, but for me is T2, and Aliens especially. But I always felt he kinda missed the bigger picture with Aliens, as awesome as it is, he focused only on the main attraction that was the Xenos, Instead of thier origin.

  • @schapman235 Never the less, Aliens is still a great sequel, and a grt sci-fi action film of its time, I class it even now far superior to his latest work Avatar, of which Ive always felt was way too overhyped as a sci-fi film. Plus I still feel 3D is no where near as good as even he makes out, considering we still need to where glasses even in this 2000s era lol. Other than that, I hope Cameron can make a true return to form, not with a Avatar sequel, but another Terminator sequel.

  • @RaikenXion yeah love his films it's interesting everything he touches seems to turn instant gold to people. really you thought Avatar was over hyped? even though your probably right, i still liked it though. even though i loved T2 i'm not sure what more they can do really though i'm not a writer or director so i guess they could do more. yeah i would love to see them a sequel to explore origins as well. (con)

  • @schapman235 I think Avatar is just weak compared to his other works, which r more gritty, exhilarating action like Aliens and T2. Wen watching Avatar, the tone is very much lighter, and the whole story is just fairly simple really. All he has managed to do is just apply the old technique of 3D to CGI of today, and this is groundbreaking?? lol, the only thing I find amazing about Avatar is that we watch it and every1 makes a fuss over new tech, yet we're all still using GLASSES 70s

  • @schapman235 Where Terminator series is concerned, I think even Cameron felt there was nothing more to tell after he did T2, but this is Hollywood and they will always milk a good thing. Terminator is at risk of bieng totally exhausted, theres been a series, loads of games, and all sequels after T2 hav been poor. So I think Cameron shud do what Ridley Scott has done for Alien series, and return to it, and bring the whole thing full circle. Hes the only guy that can save it.

  • @RaikenXion i have 2 theories one they where biological weapon created by ancient race to fight a war and they are whats left. 2 they where taken from their home world because to me they act like out of control pest to the Galaxy to me.

  • @schapman235 You may not think theres anything more to tell where Terminator is concerned. I think there is, if they stop going forward. They shud just explain the war in much more detail, we've saw little glimpes of it. I think they shud make a full on Terminator movie in the style of Saving Private Ryan. make it big, epic, on a par with Lotr, where we really see the peak of the war between Resistance and Machines. Sum may think this is not needed, Id rather this than little things

  • @schapman235 The thing with Terminator is its time travel, so they can always keep going bk over whats already happened, and change time/history. In doing this they will just spoil the whole series itself. They shud make a epic war, where at the end, Connor, and Resistance fight their way to Skynet's mainframe, main base. Connor manages to blow the whole thing up, but gets killed by Terminator in the process, he escapes through the time machine, with Reese chasing him and it ends.

  • @RaikenXion wow i'm not sure i can keep up but i will try lol :). yeah i'm not to fond of the whole 3D thing not sure i will ever will to be honest, yeah the story was simple like the whole Dances with wolves meets Pocahontas kind of thing, i haven't seen it in a while so i can't remember much from it my last impression on it was i liked the world.

  • @schapman235 Ive always pictured the whole thing ending with T-100 and Reese entering through the time machine just as the whole of Skynet explodes arnd them. I know wen really thinking bout it, this wudnt make sense cus it wud just more or less bring the whole thing full circle. But to me, thats the whole point, if Cameron cud end a Terminator film like that, and just b totally done with it. We as fans wud hav had everything we asked for in a Terminator movie.

  • @RaikenXion yeah i was hoping T4 would give us that big battle but it ended up half the film focusing on a character that came out of now where just so Sam Worthington could have screen time. with the whole time travel thing yeah i'm not sure they should do that scenario cause it might ending up getting messy and risk contradicting previous lore. like you said a Saving private Ryan style would be good if done right of course.

  • @schapman235 I agree that theres is nothing more can b done with Terminator, but I know they can never leave it alone, so Id rather hav a great war, they cud even get other big actors involved like The Rock as a Terminator model, maybe captured by Resistance and hav him fight against maybe Vin Desel as another different Terminator model. And ofcourse put Arnie's most reliable and famous model in at the end, where he finally kills Connor. Instead of all little stupid stuff they do.

  • @RaikenXion The Rock aye? well i can't see him doing Terminator movie to be honest as for Vin Desel well who knows

  • @schapman235 Well Vin Desel was originally considered by the studio to play the T-X model, in Terminator 3. But they dropped it, just Imagine how crazy that wud hav been bk then, wen Arnie himself was reprising the role in the flesh lol. It cud hav been awesome. I can still see the Rock as a Terminator model, maybe alittle damaged, earlier model similar to Arnie's T-101 model.

  • @RaikenXion oh really i didn't know about that but T3 was bad so i don't think it would've done him much justice

  • @schapman235 Ithink hype wud've been massive, Arnie vs Desel. But yeh the whole movie was really just a vehicle for Arnie's Political career, "Governator." They even pushed filming forward for the film, to b ready for his elections, thats Hollywood for you, always trying to capitalize on sumthing.

  • @RaikenXion they almost got shaq too and chyna

  • @technoninja89 Nah Shaq played Steel didnt he, look how wack that was, and Chyna didnt she do porn?? :))

  • @RaikenXion yes lol and yeah i saw the arnold magazine of who was gonna be tx. oh btw i have chynas porno videos in my laptop. lol

  • @technoninja89 Yeh 1 night in Chyna haha, glad she stuck to wrestling tho.

  • @schapman235 There no way you can fully end sumthing like Terminator story properly becus its about time travel, and this is a complicated Idea. Like I sed before, you can always keep going bk, before everything that may hav already been resolved, and carry it all on again. This is where Hollywood keep wrecking the whole series/story. How can you fully resolve the story of Terminator?? lol

  • @RaikenXion sometimes i like unresolved things depending on what it is though. like the origins of the Reapers in ME, it helps add mystery well that's what i think anyway.

  • The best explanation was that the Queen herself laid the Queen Facehugger/Superfacehugger egg in the dropship landing gear on the trip from the Colony to the Sulaco.

  • love the music from alien trilogy :3

  • i know who did it!!!bad scripting for the third movie

  • I always figured it was Bishop.

    I think the take-home message is that Paul Riser cannot be trusted.

  • The queen carried it on board. At the beginning of A3 you see the empty egg - it is lodged in the landing gear of the dropship, where the queen was. She wasn't carrying it with her when she got out, because she was going to kill some humans and didn't want to damage it. And had she carried it, it would have gone overboard with her.

  • @thomasjtheobald that is probably the smartest and most probably reasoning i've found :)

  • I personally think it'll be answered in the upcoming game, Aliens: Colonial Marines.

  • I will say though, there was a slither sound at the end of the credits of Aliens.

  • @banginlikea747 Probably for atmosphere/effect, but only James Cameron knows if that was to keep it open-ended. He certainly didn't intend for the plot of a sequel to be ANYTHING like Alien 3.

  • I thought it was brought up after the marines landed and the med labs returned cause then the dropship had to come BACK to the planet. Also, does anyone remember the crates that fly out the ship at the end-I always thought there was some significance when the camera panned on them for an extra second....

  • Personally I would say the queen. But the real question is why they didn't search the ship properly before going to hypersleep. I can't understand such carelessness at this point. Something the size of an Alien egg should have been easily found.

  • @szbszig: You talk about this as if they actually planned Alien3 when they made Aliens. It wasn't carelessness because there was no egg and no Alien on board Sulaco because Alien3 was never meant to be made & Fox damned sure didn't have that story in mind when Aliens was still in production. They pulled that shit out of their ass cause they needed and excuse to make another film, which is why none of the plot of Alien 3 makes sense when you compare it with Aliens. It was all about money for Fox.

  • James cameron, admitted to putting in, at the end of the films credits, the sound of a face huger, as a teaser-its as simple as that

  • there is three landing gear. so a queen per gear. or a smaller alien had an egg and brought it on board. or a single alien did what they d best. alone turn into a praetorian who then turns into a Queen alien who could then lay the egg.

  • There were two facehuggers on board, and at least one came from an egg. The other may have been a special "Queen Facehugger," carrying a drone egg off to start its own colony (Hey, the Aliens have to expand somehow). Also, if the Queen herself had put it there, it would have been sucked into space at the end.

    So one facehugger carried the egg there and impregnated Ripley, while the other hatched and hung out for the dog.

  • The only people who have a semblance of an idea of how it got there are the original creators, writers and director of Alien 3. I find it hard to believe they've never been asked about this in an interview?

  • It wasn't Bishop. He states early on his programming can't allow him to harm or allow to be harmed a human being. Otherwise, Burke wouldn't have been the one to sabotage Newt/Ripley to bring back the aliens, and Bishop would've done something to help. Bishop, if he had the same mission as Ash, also wouldn't have helped Ripley retrieve Newt by circling around.

    Any theories about him going off and getting eggs in that time are bogus, there wasn't enough time. It was never in the original plot.

  • @banginlikea747 The goal was always to get the eggs into the hands of the company-back on earth or wherever right. Bishop was always trying to help the marines but by helping them he was helping forward the companies agenda-i.e. by getting back on the Sulaco and guard crates with eggs-maybe....

    Just because he said he couldn't hurt humans doesn't mean it's true-and anyway Bishop was out of the situation when Burke tried to kill Ripley and Newt-likely as the others wouldn't question him

  • @Caesarslegion1 It's pretty far fetched Bishop planted it and I don't think the writers (which are the only ones that have created this universe in their own heads) considered him being the source when writing Alien 3. Because, let's face it, this scenario was not even considered when they wrote Aliens. Bishop was meant to be a malevolent character in contrast with Ash, with Burke being the villain. The new Alien 3 Blu-Ray menu suggests the queen laid it, but who knows. Gaping plot hole IMO.

  • @banginlikea747 you mean benevolent?

  • @Caesarslegion1 Oops. 

  • If anybody remembers ALIENS, Bishop is gone most of the time... i rewatched it awhile back and during the infirmary sequence where Newt and Ripley was almost impregnated i started asking myself "Where the hell was, Bishop". Maybe all that time he was "looking around" he was getting an egg and stashing it somewhere.

  • @infinitwizdumb: Go back and watch it again. At no point in the movie was Bishop "looking around". When they first get to the colony he spent most of his time in the med lab dissecting the facehuggers they found in the jars when they first got there and was checked on regularly. Then after the first ambush he spent the rest of his time stuck in a tube crawling to some point where he could signal the spare drop ship by remote so they could get back to the Sulaco before the colony blew up.

  • Omg the ps1 game music -3 anyone else get chills :)) ?? I'm out to go buy a ps1 and get the alien trilogy game again -3!!!

  • music from alien trilogy ps1 game, omg. not heard or played that in ages.

  • Problem I have with this is the Queen needs to develop one of those sacs to lay eggs

    Oh and to answer the question about the Facehugger impregnating two victims heres the answer. It was a Queen Facehugger. It lays 1 queen and then 1 normal xenomorph to make the hive/defend the new queen

  • Bishop layed the egg ou from his seconds asshole

  • I always wondered this myself. According to the novels and the Aliens wikia, one egg + one face hugger equals one chest buster. So if Ripley is carrying a queen (one egg) and the dog was attacked and later impregnanted, then there should be two eggs that the Queen laid on the ship.

  • Maybe the Queen layed it at some point when the camera is dealing with Ripley looking for the powerloader...or when it hid in the landing gear...the other face hugger would be harder to explain though. Assuming that in the theatrical cut that the one facehugger infected Ripley and then went on to infect the dog. Is the Facehugger capable of doing two victims? I thought that once it does the deed it crawls off smokes a cigarette and then dies. Hey may that cigarette caused the fire.... :p

  • Alien3 was a poorly written movie and concept from the ground up. They should've went with a completely different script. There were a few others written that were much, much better. I think famed sci-fi writer, William Gibson, was one of them.

  • @Mineav All the scripts had them get rid of Newt and/or kill off Newt and Hicks. 2 of them killed off all three of them as well.

  • actually in alien 3 the directors cut, there were 2 face huggers. a normal one and the queen hugger, only in one shot but that thing is freaking creepy

  • that facehugger was a queen facehugger. Ridley Scott said he didnt want to show it. but in AvP requiem you can see one in the preds containers. just sayin.

  • There was just simply a hugger aboard not an egg on board!

  • i've 2 answers. the first is that there might not have been any egg, the only thing that could have not been the egg is inside the container, the facehugger was there, 4:25, or number 2 the egg was layed by the queen before she died. some pretty good answers. :P

  • Gotta keep those eggs handy... Close encounters.

  • What happend to corporal hicks, the brat and THE CAT?

  • @NoobSnoopy Corporal Hicks and the brat drowned in the evacuation at the start of Alien 3. The cat was left behind on earth but was able to have a moderately successful media career

  • @quazz79

    Aweh.. I actyally only cared about the cat. xD

  • This was cool. I can't wait for Prometheus to come out!

  • It would make more since if the queen laid the egg inside the dropship on the way up in the landing gear that's what I always thought happened

  • I bet Bishop was actually in league with Ash. Before Parker started beating Ash's head of with a fire extinguisher, Ash sent his internal CPU through the time-space continum and implanted it in Bishop just after he was made. So, with revenge on his mind, the Bishop-Ash android infiltrated the colony before anyone got there, and placed an egg on the Sulaco. Then, he went through the entire movie pretending to be on their side. But, his plan went awry, and the queen killed him. IT'S THE ONLY WAY!!

  • It's just lazy writing and it never got more of an explanation bc that was never the intention.

    But, for arguments sake, I always believed it was bishop. Aliens have never shown interest in cyborgs. So, theoretically, bishop could have strolled in and taken some samples. But, you would think at the point ripely has his mangled corpse on the table he would just say he brought them on...but whatever

  • My personal theory from original synopsis (before final shooting script): The Xenomorphs managed to get a load of eggs out in the colony escape shuttle after being accidently launched (or sabotaged by Burke, Carter Jr) during an early evacuation attempt, The Weyland Yutani corp, then ordered the Sulaco to auto-dock with the shuttle W/O waking the crew from cryo sleep, the Sulaco now being damaged and infested probably burned up in the sun of the Fury system after ejecting her cryo pods.

  • The queen likes to keep eggs handy... for close encounters!

  • Despite your good work on this video, I'm afraid the actual answer is a cynical piece of writing that just gets Ripley to the point in the script they thought of. It doesn't make sense.

  • I like all 3 of the alien films

  • It was the producers!

    In my concern, Aliens3 and Resurrection sucks, Alien and Aliens rlz! Period.

  • There was 1 egg and so, only 1 facehugger. However, this was (as it has been deemed a "Super Facehugger"). It is slightly darker in colour and carries the Queen embryo AND a normal embryo. I think the normal embryo is implaneted second (in the dog) as some kind of protection fo the host while the Queen is incubating because it takes longer for the Queen to hatch.

    Also the Queen used her little arms to carry an egg onto the Sulaco...don't know how but I just go with it...I like Alien 3!

  • the only logical Conclusion that I have is the following :

    remember as Ripley and Newt were standing on that Platform, right before the Alienqueen arrived in that Elevator, waiting for Bishop ?

    He arrived just in Time seemingly being a Saviour in the last Minute.

    When asked where he has been, he just answers "he had to fly arround a bit" (I can't recall the original quote) because it was too dangerous

    but waht IF he took the Time while Ripley was rescueing Newt, to pic up something else ?...

  • @Resighno

    Makes sense. Bishop stopping to pick up eggs would have drawn the attention

    of the queen, and given her time to board the ship, considering there was

    no time for her to do so when Bishop picked up Ripley & Newt.

  • this throws up more questions! there must be 2 facehuggers, right? i mean, one for ripley and another one for the dog in Alien 3...hmm, i think it was the queen. maybe there are some more eggs on the sulaco....i dont think burke brought them in. he didnt came close to the queens hive.. and if he came that close, he wouldnt have survived. many drones protect a queen..

  • @PsychoManiac696

    Maybe there were eggs still outside like in the first Alien film. Also, since Bishop

    isn't alive, would the queen have torn him apart if he wasn't between her and

    Ripley? If they couldn't smell or sense him otherwise, he could of snuck in

    and out with eggs.

  • The queen laid down one before having her ass being kicked by Ripley!!!

    I don´t know if Burke had managed to leave one of those eggs inside that ship..no line for it.!! whereas it´s very possible to be the Queen who did that.

  • It was also a facehugger which was able to infect Ripley and the dog in Alien 3.

  • the point is that one of the 2 eggs had a queen inside (sorry for my english)... unless when ripley said ''its a queen'' on alien 3 maybe she was wrong.so probably the queen put them to continue the spieces if she dies or something... (and again sorry for my english LOL)

  • @wiltzer1 i was always under the impression that a xeno (of any rank or gestation) would begin to morph into a 'base queen' of sorts, if not in range of pheramones given off by an existing queen. which would then eventially morph into a queen of that region (so-to-speak)

    but it IS just science fiction in the first place lol. call me a longtme fanboy :)

  • @wiltzer1 i think it was because she knew that she was going away from her hive so in the likelyhood she wasnt gonna come back, she would make sure to bring an egg with her :D

  • like the music for the first minute, its from the old Aliens game on Playstation 1

  • I'll tell you who put the alien egg on board: producers who wanted to milk the "Alien" franchise for a second time.

  • I believe the only logical answer is that Bishop left the group, probably alone, with the drop ship shortly after all humans had entered and 'cleared' the station. The company had preexisting knowlege of the aliens and eggs, and the original location of the derelict spacecraft. Bishop planted the egg on the sulaco and returned, or stashed the egg in a crate and was flown back by ferro and spunkmeyer. Then he returned to work as if nothing happened.

  • @LoadManCummith I'm glad they did. Ripley!!! For The Win!!!

  • Alien³ as a standalone film is actually not completely terrible I think, especially the Director's Cut. Of course, this is assuming the first two films never existed. They should have at least kept Newt and Hicks alive. The fact they were simply killed off at the start means it's just a product of incredibly lazy writing. "We don't know how to properly incorporate these characters, let's just kill them off!"

  • Biship did it, he was programed by the company with a secret objective to bring the eggs and any surivers at all cost. Why do you think he took hicks back to the ship while ripply went to save newt? He hid it on the ship before heading back to the planet thats how?

  • The Queen led the egg!

  • @MultiEvil85 Oh that makes sense. I thought it just appeared into existence. *sarcasm*

  • Bishop ferried the egg on board after gaining remote control of the second dropship. He says it will take forty minutes flight time but it doesn't- it takes four minutes!

  • I always thought the egg being on board was a pretty big plot hole. They could've done better.

  • the queen always keeps a spare egg on her..just in case...

  • Simple. The queen didn't bring it, she laid it. We see in the film that the queen has a huge embryo sack full of eggs that contain normal face-huggers but the egg on the Suloco looks different. Why? Because it holds a special 'queen' face-hugger. (Full image of it is in a deleted scene in Alien 3) So maybe the queen as the ability to produce an emergency egg, without an embryo sack, that holds a 'queen face-hugger' to prevent possible extinction in a given situation.

  • @Jadama0 Except the sack gets torn off when Ripley torched the egg chamber.

  • @ebuzzmiller34 then clearly the egg isn't produced in the sack or the queen brought one along.

  • @ebuzzmiller34 But the queen could have a special egg within her. An egg that holds a queen-hugger. And maybe this special egg doesn't need a embryo sack because the queen herself acts as the embryo. So the Queen could have a Special egg that she can use in an emergency. That's just what I think. :)

  • @Jadama0 I think you are right, but how do you explain the other egg for the dog?

  • James cameron, admitted to placing the sound of a face huger in the last bit of the movies credits-the queen alien drops it of. every monster movie always has the cliche shot of eggs etc, after the monster has been killed. alien3 is better then alien4

  • @ardendroo "alien3 is better then alien4"

    lmao good one. Made me chuckle a bit :-)

  • @RealSkyDiver2 It is. Story is more important than action.

  • I wouldn't bother trying to make sense of Alien 3.The entire franchise went downhill starting with this movie.

  • @LeathanL

    Not really. I liked it. Alien:ressurection, however, was the black sheep.

  • The answer may be that the eggs come out of the queen the size of a golfball, then grow in that chamber she tore free from in Aliens or wherever she lays them. Think about it, those eggs are big, she couldn't carry one of them in her. In the clip (4:45), it looks like the egg is under the floor grids in the cargo bay, she laid the egg when chasing Newt and her survival was threatened. It would explain it all.
