^ Agreed. On the one hand, the candidates need a big-picture individualism, stoicism, and acceptance that they're leaving all the people they love behind -- they need the ability to "disconnect" from that human companionship-- yet they also have to somehow get along with 3 strangers. To say nothing of the ability to not totally flip out when a chestburster pops out of one of them during dinner.

Yeah I know David Fincher doesn't want squat to do with Alien3, hence the quotes. However, if I recall properly, the assembly cut was advertised as being much more in line with Fincher's original thoughts for the project than the truncated version that ended up in theaters. I think the assembly cut makes this much underrated film more interesting by a significant margin. This movie reeks of death, decay, and the feelings of loss and search for meaning that accompanies death. If it was the last film I really think it could have found a following as correctly ending the series instead of that awful Alien Resurrection. *GAG*

Two things I wish would be fixed though are 1) The horribly composited alien (it looks like bad CG, but it is just badly composited) and 2) Why an alien egg was brought on board the Sulaco. It is just too much of a leap of faith to believe the queen laid it. (supposed to be somewhat explained by the upcoming alien colonial marines game, but that's not really canon or a fix to the existing film).

Anyways, back on topic. What I find interesting is that they had a "full" model of the queen chestburster with legs and tail.

That's kind of interesting. Considering that from what I understand the chestburster popping out was a much delayed change to the story done by the studio takeover after Fincher left. I still think the "david fincher" cut is really interesting and my preferred way to watch the movie now.

So that's it! I was wondering what the 'chestburster' tag was for

Isn't this where babies usually come out?

I'm thinking more Quato from "Total Recall"

I'm thinking chestburster scene from aliens, here.

Yeah I don't think adding footage helps the scene. It's scarier if you just get a look at the chestburster for a moment before it disappears.

It's not a chestburster... It's a vaginaburster!

I know a chestburster when I see one. Strike first, I say.

"The "chestburster" scene in the interstellar diner features John Hurt, whose character suffered the same fate in Alien (1979). In an obscure joke, the creature emulates the singing frog in the classic Warner Brothers cartoon "One Froggy Evening"."
