Aliens
(1986)
In James Cameron's action/sci-fi blockbuster sequel:
- in a reprised role (57 years after the original
film), aggressive "Rambo-like" heroine Flight Officer
Lt. Ellen Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) nightmare in the film's opening
of 'giving birth' to an Alien, after being rescued by a deep-salvage
team
- the scene of gung-ho Marine Private Hudson's (Bill
Paxton) realization when the drop-ship from the USS Sulaco crashes
on LV-426 when trying to pick up the first group of Marine survivors
from alien attack: "That's it, man. Game over, man! Game over!"
- the mother-daughter bond formed between Ripley and
orphaned Newt (Carrie Henn)
- Ripley's confrontation with the egg-laying Alien
Queen mother/monster when saving Newt, when she torched the entire
egg chamber with her flamethrower
- and then later, the showdown scene when Ripley wore
a walking, powered forklift/loader in the Sulaco's hangar,
and she provided protection for surrogate daughter Newt with her
threat to the Alien Queen: ("Get away from her, you bitch!")
and aggressive, fisticuffs bitch-slap of the gargantuan stowaway
Alien Queen with the mechanical claw-arm of the contraption
Flamethrower

- in the exciting climax, the tense moment when Ripley's

of the outer airlocked hatch ladder before expelling it into outer
space
