Aliens (1990, Konami)


Ripley's looking a bit less harrowed in this one. Lighter in hair colour as well. And not as Sigourney Weaver-ish, either. Nice eye candy, though.

Also, it seems like Newt's weeks of scavenging through air ducts didn't take any toll on that immaculate pink sweater of hers, nor the high-top pink-laced basketball shoes she's sporting.



This flyer is a good example, however, of a nice photo shoot. Casting and continuity issues aside, that does look like a 3D alien and not a cardboard cutout (that's TOTALLY a cardboard cutout) nor a darkroom addition. Smoke machine on the floor, replica shotgun in hand, oddly-angled spotlit floor grate which juts unnaturally against the painted backdrop of the interior hull.

It's just a shame that the models couldn't pull off any emotion other than curiosity. Or paycheck.
