"You Are One Ugly Motherfu…" - Wishlist Alien vs. Predator 3

[Whiskeybrewer]

Comics came first and were running during P2's production; the skull in the ship was a nod.

Thought so, but couldn't quite remember. Thanks for the clarifiication

Don't think it's ever been confirmed, one way or another, if the inclusion was an acknowledgement of the comics or if it was just coincidence.

[THE CITY HUNTER]

Must be the comics first

Predator 2 special edition BTS features, guys at Stan Winston Studios said they put it in as a tip of the hat to the comic.

That makes sense.

I always been told that the Xeno skull in Predator 2 was a reference to a possible future crossover much like how Freddy's glove was in Jason Goes To Hell?

[SiL]

Newp, nod to the comic.

[Xenomorphine]

Which special feature is it? The only interview I've seen regarding this is the late Stan Winston and he said nobody seemed to know who was responsible for it, but that he wishes he was because it was a "cool idea". Nothing about the comic.

[Kel G 426]

I used to think it was simply a repainted prop that Stan's crew had left over from ALIENS, used more for convenience than anything else, but after googling some images it appears to have been a new sculpt so I dunno.

[OmegaZilla]

No, it was made for the movie. Sculpted by Kevin Hudson.

How did you find out?

Hopkins himself might mention it in the commentary. 99% sure it's flat out said somewhere in the set that it was a nod to the comics as they were running at the time of production.

[OmegaZilla]

Just checked The Winston Effect from my shelf and yes, it says the skull is an in-joke and a nod to the AvP comics by Dark Horse.

[Whiskeybrewer]

Also if they ever attempt the PredAlien again, it needs to be closer in Design and Size to the one in the AVP : Duel comic

[Corporal Hicks]

Just lose the dreadlocks. That's the main thing I ask for.
