Re: Aliens Set The Standard
LOL...as I mentioned in another related message, my wife and I got a great deal on the full set of 4 DVDs (which resulted in something like $9 each!) and we watched the whole series over again (a few weekends ago).
Yes, some good combat action in #2. Of course, sadly, the series got worse. Sigh...

Re: Aliens Set The Standard
Alien 3 and 4 were crap and should never have been made. They ruined the franchise with them.

Re: Aliens Set The Standard
Or it could've been Heinlein with Starship Troopers and their mobile infantry with dropships, power armor and stuff. Kinda like Air Cavalry before Vietnam.

Talking about movies, not books.

Well, we agree! I liked looking at the sets. But, well, it just didn't measure up.

Re: Aliens Set The Standard
I haven't seen Aliens in the 4 DVD set. Does it have the scene with the Sentry Guns bLasting away at the Aliens? I saw the movie origially in theaters and it wasn't there. Watched it on Video, wasn't there. Happened to catch it on TV once And There It Was! Love that scene...

I didn't watch all the "extras" but the Alien DVD set has 8 discs in it. One for each movie and one extra for each movie (if you like the extras).
