Alien Movie Commentary Early Access!

Saying DIC causes blood to turn into a solid is overselling the condition. It causes blood clots to form, not "turn the blood stream into a solid". And again how many bullets would you have to shoot into a xenomorph to deliver enough neutralizing agent to seriously hinder/kill one? Are you going to just coat the bullets in this basic substance or are you going to design some intricate internal mechanisms to spray it inside the target? Are we assuming that through-and-throughs won't happen? There's a whole host of reasons why militaries who (in the movie world and the real world) tend to go for equipment from the highest bidder might not go for something that complicated.

Issuing cans of some kind of spray to neutralize the acid sounds doable. But I doubt that bullets are an effective delivery vehicle for a chemical payload.

Please do a commentary for Aliens, it's my all time favourite film and i loved the whole commentary for this film too! :D

thank you Taz, like I said it would cause an instantaneous reaction of basically turning the creatures blood stream into a solid, kinda like DIC ( Disseminated intravascular coagulation) you can see in humans.

If only Disney would bring back the Alien show in Tomorrowland.

I've been a firm believer that Alien, Terminator, and Back to the Future are the 3 films that were amazing, but had even better sequels. Aliens could be of the greatest films ever made. One thing that I think set the Alien movies apart when it comes to the scary element, is that everything is wet. Its wet, and grimy, and dripping, dark, and steamy and it just looks like that absolute last place you would want to be with a monster running around.

Erich Bomke

Great. I own the set with both theatrical and direcotrs cuts. remains the scariest alien creature in pop culture to this day. Nothing else really compares such as independance day or Star Wars. This is just S##T scary and I love it. The fact that James Cameron directed the second movie of this and Terminator really shows. :D

Alan Collings

probably because his way neutralizes the acid and does not allow for blow back, which cost several people their lives. Also with very few being crack shots, you would not need as many direct hits or even kill shots to put the creature down. Explosive and incendiary devices also cause damage to the surrounding area.....so you could minimize collateral damage in both human casualties and structural damage.........and if used might make a really cool effect sequence.

AAARON PLZ PLAY ALIEN ISOLATION IS SO GOOOOD.... Motion tracker!!!!

Garrett Gee

So of course ther are not doing the DC which is the one i own and the only one i can find online lol so unlucky

Garrett Gee

I mean...if you're shooting bullets at it anyway...you might as well keep shooting until it's dead. Kinda redundant to add a chemical weapon inside when you're unloading 200 rounds a minute anyway. Plus instead of trying to get complicated with chemistry and waiting for a neutralization reaction why not use explosive/incendiary rounds instead?

Rexxon

Well the budget for Alien started at 4 million but went up to about 11 million the same as Star Wars (New Hope).

Martin Taylor

as a old chemistry major nerd, once (in the future) they knew it had acid for blood, could they make a bullet that would inject base (bicarbonate/ -OH) that would cause the aliens blood to turn into a salt and congeal within the creature. Just an idea.
