In the earlier script stages of the prison-set Alien 3, many of its characters' fates were much different. In this video I take a look at one of the earlier drafts of this concept and the alternate fates we may have seen.

The speech Dillon gave the boys before the last fight, “do you want it on your feet? Or on your fucking knees? Begging I ain’t much for begging, nobody ever gave me nothing, so I say fuck that thing let’s fight it!” One of my favourite scenes

In a franchise that's starved for content you definitely give us what we need.

Alien 3 the Assembly Cut is a MASTERPIECE. It’s such a shame we never got to see it on the big screen

This channel is a such a jewel.

Also, did you here bro? Aliens and Alien3 are supposedly getting their 4K ultra HD blu ray releases this August. So in August, Dog Soldiers, HEAT and Aliens will all get 4k blu ray releases. It's gonna be a pricey month for me it seems. But yeah man. Your channel is great. Discovered it about 3 years ago and so glad I did. Cheers.

Alien ³ needs more recognition.

I know some people really do not like what happens to Newt and Hicks, but the movie on its own merits is a fantastic science fiction thriller.

The Assembly Cut is so much better and it makes sense. No weapons. Dillions redemption arc. Fight for your life. The movie is under appreciated because they expected so much out of it. It was fresh and something new.

Dillon: Don't touch the hive, it'll be like an alarm.
*Proceeds to light the whole thing on fire.

I remember a long time ago working for Acclaim Studios London over Croydon way. A Lady from Virgin (Game Publisher) and a random bloke in a suit walked in the office. They had a script and bits of the story board for Alien 3, asked if we can make a game to coincide with release of the film (which no one knew about) we said yes. That was last we heard till release, I remember someone coming back from premier saying "the game is nothing like the fucking film we are fucked" but my boss said "it's just like the story boards and script they gave us".

Was a long time ago I just remember there was a reason Ripley has weapons, inmates are cocooned and there is more than one Alien all in the game.

Wait... A single Xenomorph can create a complete hive, INCLUDING that thin protective laser membrane?!? I was always under the impression that technology came from the Space Jockey's ship to specifically hold the eggs in the cargo bay in place.

@daheadsmiter2052 4 years ago

man this is way more chilling and more "horror" then the original. I love both of them!

A3 is great: the corridor run, the altered beast, the small amount of characters isolated, the shaved head, the forge, the photography.
All presented in a coherent way.
Plus, the cocoon scene would had brought the beast to the original plot: NO QUEEN. Great!

This makes the film more bittersweet and interesting. Alien 3 is a film I always found myself conflicted with. There is that love and hate relationship but the more I read about some unfilmed scenes and see the longer version where the xenomorph comes from the ox instead of the dog, it has grown a bit to me.
I wish some of these scenes do become canon (like the cocoon and burning the people becoming eggs or in cocoons). It drives home the egg morph scene of the cut scene from the first film that this species was created to adapt. The perfect organism. It would be cool to see it in a flashback or something in the new comics.

I liked the scene with Golic taking out the other prisoners in the dark. That would have made a great scene in the assembly cut!

@jamesbuckingham77 4 years ago

When you think about it, going from the madness of Aliens, with loads of them running around and a queen, to only having one single Alien again was a bold move.

@javiersantanaaviles5885 4 years ago

The Story of the jail movie could have worked better and be an absolute beloved movie, if the producers had use the prison setting for a spin off, without Ripley and only the inmates fighthing the Xenomorph without even knowing what the hell they are fighting

What people dont understand about the movie is that it is based off of an Elizabethton theater. The characters are all assembled in one scene speaking to each other as if in a Shakespearen play.

Sad thing is I couldn’t have named a single character from this movie other than ripley when I could name so many from the others. Problem is a lot of the characters look the same
