Giger made some disturbing stuff.... but I thought the xenomorph-bodysuits have been quite sexy if you just put a more humanoid head on top.

I miss Bill Paxton.

"Hey Vasquez, you ever been mistaken for a Latina?"

Fun Fact: That's the same actress who played the Irish immigrant from Titanic

And the detective blown up on her diving board in Lethal Weapon 2.

If you never read the trivia: She came to the casting expecting it to be about immigration issues. The "illegal alien" joke came from that.

Bill Paxton was great in such a wide range of movies.

Don’t do pullups like her. Strains the neck.

To answer your question OP, The green font is a little small (when on a mobile) but great post all the same. Thanks!
Rumoh
Thanks and you're welcome

Fun fact: the same actress also plays John Connor's foster mom in T2

Is that Bangalore?

I was thinking the same thing! +1

Man, Vasquez set the bar. Always seems to be an equivalent in a lot of video games.
SmartAssWithAKeyboard
Same actor:
esterchestermin
How?!??!

Wanna REALLY blow you're fuckin' mind? Google the 'Irish Nanny' from the movie Titanic. Same Actor. Boom.

Always upvote Vasquez! Little known fact: she was played by a Jewish woman.
Billis75
And she makes her living now selling bras to women with large breasts.

Good old Vasquez, still doing the Lord's work!

Don’t do behind the head pull-ups folks. It’s bad for your shoulders.

Those who downvote are probably into CrossFit
2shortplanks
Yeah, but you can see the actor's face the entire shot that way...
MisanthropicAnthropoid
You can actually feel that they are bad for you as you do them LOL
mondaysaretheworst
Great story that didnt involve political or societal commentary. Miss those days
NastyBert2000
Things you missed: Paul Reiser's character as an immoral company representative was an obvious condemnation of 1980s extreme capitalism.

Aliens and Starship Troopers were release 8 years apart. Some of the special effect are better than some current offerings
Bonsaipanda
Why are you referencing Starship Troopers (awesome film btw)?
HiddenSanity
A lot of people felt that casting a female as the lead was forced identity politics, there was a capitalist 'strawman', not to mention --->
HiddenSanity
-the rape imagery with primary male victims was all kinds of charged commentary in many peoples eyes. (Like, you literally end up pregnant)
klean9
The actress,Jenette Goldstein, thought the film was about immigration and arrived at her audition in a short skirt and high heels.
Cortezdelanoche
I would have loved to have seen her in that outfit...
pineapples555
Also explains why she is so tanned, she played John Connor's mom in Terminator, looks like a different person.
pineapples555
By mom, I meant foster mom. (Not Sarah Connor)
xizar
Sad/odd thing is that she was the strongest Latina role model I had for a long time. (I didn't find out she's jewish until long after.)
KingKolunikus
I don't understand the connection between immigration and elegant light women's clothing.
TheRudeWarrior
The line "she thought they meant 'illegal aliens'" actually happened. She showed up for the audition not knowing it was an SF film.
KingKolunikus
I don't know the movie or the line. I suppose that knowledge would have helped understand the comment.
CmdrNexus
Hence the jokes about illegal aliens and so on. She also played John Connors foster mum in T2 Judgement Day.
dizzyturtle
I was just looking at this:
ArmedandOverclocked
she was also in Titanic as the irish mom that read to her kids in bed as the ship sank.
CmdrNexus
Indeed, has always been somewhat of a chameleon.
Raileks
I think her most iconic role was Beverly Hills Chick #1
dronette
And a detective in Lethal Weapon 2. She was killed by a bomb under her diving board.
dronette
And an Army MP killed in the beginning of The Presidio, with Sean Connery and Mark Harmon.
dronette
And a vampire in Near Dark with Aliens co-stars Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton.
mangoshapedspace
wait, what?
CaptainSkyhawk
Also the female cop who gets blown up when the bad guys are getting serious in Lethal Weapon. Diving-board bomb, who does that?
mangoshapedspace
wait, wait.... what?

This was a movie that had some actually great B-role acting. I cared about all of the marines
ZnRster

Chpgmr
But did they have B-role of the ocean?
Pauly79
There’s like 2-3 that one line that no one gives a crap about, like the helicopter co pilot. I get what you mean though. Solid role play
Warbunny5000
Go on audible and check out the aliens books. They go deeper into the marines and have good voice narration and sound effects.
MrSg
Titles?
Warbunny5000
Sorry just saw this, I’m not great at tech, just type in aliens and a few will pop up. A new one is releasing soon. I think you’ll like it.

He actually apologized to the US Marine Corps for the portrayal of marines in the film, IIRC.
DeusExSpockina
Huh?
OliverClothesoff70
Why would he? They were portrayed more badass, loyal, and brave in Aliens than in nearly any other film.
OliverClothesoff70
Vazquez was played by a nice Jewish lady named Jenette Goldstein. Was also John C's foster mom in Terminator2. https://youtu.be/nnmGkClOxTw

More trivia: Aliens is a Vietnam-war movie.
PersonalityFire
Cameron said he based Ripley's return to LV-426 off of soldiers in Vietnam who signed on to go back for additional tours.
Firedawg451
I don’t know, it wasn’t very realistic portrayal of Marines. Not one of them ate crayons the entire movie. ?

33WhiskeyTX
The LT was a chode, so they got that right at least.
MidnightLibrarian
The original script was written as X people. Casting calls were done based on chemistry, not fitting a role. They got a diverse cast and
Jantessa
Yeah even Ripley wasn't written strictly for a woman.
xizar
I feel like by the time the second movie happened, Ripley had already been cast.
vonkeswick
It was basically "bad ass motherfucker" and Sigourney Weaver just nailed the part
MidnightLibrarian
then little stuff was added along the way in spots where there's interaction to show the person who was cast was X,Y, or Z.
godskook
The source @Asadsadsadclown gave said that was for Alien, not Aliens. Do either of you have a source for this being the case in Aliens too?
Asadsadsadclown
They talk about both movies. Like I said, tangents.
Duraxis
They also had each actor personalise their own gear
Asadsadsadclown
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaR-e8ComPih10DqPi3sdWg Great channel with 3 videos on the Aliens franchise, including the casting.

godskook
Can you point out the video, I'm having a tough time figuring it out from their titles which one is the casting video.
Asadsadsadclown
If I remember correctly https://youtu.be/aGAzkj4gyxo talks about how Weaver auditioned in addition to her overall badassnes.
