« on: Mar 04, 2009, 02:23:44 PM »
A while back it used to say in the triva section on imdb that the initial theatrical prints used to have a close-up shot of Ripley's boots showing the Reebok logo (Reebok had a promo deal at the time). It also said that since that initial print that the shot had been cut out. Is this true or is it still in normal versions?

I cant see it and never have done but others claim it was always there and they can see it???????

You can still see the Reebok logo on her shoes.  Best shot is when shes getting into the Powerloader on board the sulaco when she shoes her skills to Apone and Hicks.  There was also a myth that there was a scene filmed where she can be clearly seen putting on her shoes clearly showing the Reebok logo but was cut due to losing a contract of some kind.  There  was also a myth this scene was shown at the Premier Night of Aliens  But its just a myth and i doubt its true at all.


There are other shots, the above image is an example.

When i first heard about this so called scene i looked into it and asked around and looked into many articles etc etc.   Again not certain if hi is true either but i was once told there was an advertisement for the shoes with Ripley posing with them and that's where the whole rumour came from.  Ive never seen this advertisement nor have i ever come across anyone who has....unless someone on here has or know about this?

Ripley puts on her Reebok sneakers after she sees the opened stasis cylinders. This scene reportedly showed on the opening day of the film in theaters, but it isn't in the script or any version of the film released.

Taken from ALien Legend ^  Nightfall from Alien Legend was one of the people i spoke to abou that scene many years ago.

I saw a pair of these shoes with the original box being auctioned on EBay several years ago. I didn't bid on them because they weren't my size.  I think the final bid was somewhere tween $175 & $225?

There's another close up of Ripley's feet in the hive with the Queen.  From memory I can't recall if the Reebok logo is visible or not.

You can just about see the Reebok logo, it isnt TO clear but you can make it out.

Reebok myth seems real. Just recently I found an ad for it:
