I'm losing respect for ridley scott, I used to worship alien, but it's just a well made ripoff, isn't it? sad really :(

Dan O'Bannon (writer of ALIEN) NEVER denied using ideas from other sources. He said: ' i didn't steal ALIEN from anybody - I stole it from everybody.'ALL films, books, etc, can be said to utilise ideas from others. The bigger point is; creating, is using what's gone before, and, coming up with something new.

"SONIA - THE RESERVE CHANNEL!..SINEX IMPULSE - QUICKLY!"

"Hello? Hello, Galliot? Hello, Galliot? Hello?...Contact's been broken, Mark.."

"SINEX IMPULSE CHANNEL! THROW IT ON!"

"The signal's been interrupted, Mark? The planet's stopped transmitting?..."["Galliot?"].

"SONIA! WHAT ABOUT THE GALLIOT?!!"

"Hello?! I'm not getting anything, Mark.."

"THE SINEX IMPULSE CHANNEL!! TRY IT AGAIN!!"

"Hello, Hello? Hello?..There's nothing,Mark, the radio communications are blocked.."

"TRY IT AGAIN, SONIA!!!"

I love their cool leather spacesuits - not cheap looking at all, great design.

@johndoe121213 - The parts of ALIEN not stolen from this are taken from the Doctor Who series 'The Ark in Space.' Wasp larvae feeding on humans, cryogenic chambers, a ventilation shaft crawl, and a finale on a shuttle.
