Best pic of an Alien

I believe ADI used the same molds or something like that because it was cheaper and quicker. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

You're correct. AvP was done on a relatively low budget for its scope, and reusing the Alien moulds was a way of helping keep costs down.

Those fangs are actually news to me.

Same, I notice something new all the time.

Oooh, creepy

Yes!

Not sure if that's the plaster body cast of the stunt performer, or Bolaji Badejo? It looks too small, but if it's for the stunt suit, it's sporting the head rest.

Unless, the smaller stunt suit originally did have the head rest - but was removed for Brett's death scene?

That's the Bolaji cast. Unlike later movies, the actor's head is in the Alien's head, not the neck.

According to Giger's Alien, Giger only did half sculpt, with someone doing the other side like a mirror image. All of the suits were cast from the one sculpt and modified to fit on the stunt guys, rather than sculpting multiple forms.

Endless legs.

I think it was the same in Aliens. Never got why ADI never carried that on the thick necks always ruined the illusion to me. Especially in AVPR never felt like I was watching anything more than guys in suits

Aliens had the performers' heads in the neck. They hide it well in the movie but in the behind the scenes you can see how awkwardly shaped the necks are.
