Right the name says it all, post stuff you have only just noticed while watching any of the movies in the franchise. It could be something you didn't notice the first time years ago or even something you only noticed recently, like I did to my shame since I have watched Aliens so many times it should be pouring out of my ears.
So I shall start with the film that inspired this thread, Aliens which I had watched recently and noticed a few things.
1.
The Queen was not in the cargo hold of the dropship. This is embarassing for me since I am pretty sure a lot of you already know this one and I can't believe I only noticed it. Basically the Queen was hiding in the landing gear thingy but because she is so huge and so is the gap she came from, I initially thought it was the cargo hold/ramp area.
2.
The Queen never lost her grip on Ripley. Another one that passed me by. I always thought the Queen eventually lost her grip on Ripley's foot before going bye bye in space. In actuality, Ripley's boot comes off instead.
3.
Vasquez right leg is not the one that was burned by acid. I always assumed it was the leg she used to pin the Alien that got burnt by the acid but nope, what happens is the acid drops onto her left leg that was under the warrior. Also this scene has a blooper in that her arm suddenly gets an arm band when the alien drops down and then it disappears.
Now for another film I decided to watch, if only to see if I missed anything and to play a drinking game. Yes, its requiem. Why isn't there a vomit emoji here!?
1.
Surprisingly nice visuals in some scenes. This might not be something folks missed as some have said there is one or two shots that are good. In my case, I recently noticed how good the forest scenes looked with the sunlight passing through the trees. Also there is a scene where a cop is approach the sewer entrance and goes in, which was neat and could have been great if the horror was done good in this movie. Related to that scene there is a shot of the the dog coming in with Buddy's arm through the reflection of a puddle which was nice, which reminds me of another good shot earlier where the Predalien is showed in a reflection before killling a predator.
2.
Super acid. Watching closely on the forest scene, Buddy's arm falls off from only a drop of acid that suddenly spreads out to the size of his arm.
3.
Surviving re-entry. Now as we all know, the predator scout ship crashes because a predator had the great idea to fire his plasma caster twice inside the ship (missing on both counts). Now as the ship had a hull breach, the re-entry should have cooked nearly everything inside the ship.
4.
Eddie Morals was a criminal. Those who subject themselves to the film usually tries not to pay too much attention to dialogue. This time though I did. Before when Dallas says "I usually ride in the back" and how he remembers that Eddie was with him on some of those occasions.I initially took that as he was the arresting officer but then Eddie later says he still has trouble convincing some of the locals that he belongs in the job, this was in reply to Dallas jokingly enquiring if the police were hiring. So apparently Eddie was a troublemaker who was actually riding in the back with Dallas.
And since I still am watching it, that is as far as I have noticed so far on that movie.
I will add something I noticed years while working on the wiki as I was taking snapshots to upload. AVP 2004.
1.
Facehugger detail. Now the scene where everyone in the sacrificial chamber is attacked is done in seconds, so really speaking there shouldn't really be a need for any serious attention to detail, but there is. When Rousseau is hit by the hugger and she turns around, you can see that it has its tube in her mouth. Of course that causes one to wonder how is she screaming so loudly and clearly then, since the folks below are able to hear it clear as day as well. Obvious reason is because most of the sound in the movie is probably done by ADR.
2.
The bodies are still there. When Miller kills the facehugger and camera pans out to reveal the chamber is filled with eggs, there is a passageway next to where Verheiden is cocooned. Rousseau and Thomas' bodies can be seen cocooned there. Roussea is upside down (with the jacket strangely closed since she died with it open) and the body is clearly a dummy. With Thomas, its only his orange coat that can be seen. Note, these are better seen on some behind the scene images as they are barely perceptable in the movie.
3.
Different scenes of Scar vs Queen. I might be misremebering but I recall being showed a dvd from a friend, which was not long after the movie came out and it was watchable, but when I got a proper dvd from a store which was the special edition (this has no movie bearing) and I noticed that the scene in where Scar is roaring at the Queen after being impaled was actually completely different from the one in the dvd my friend showed me. I don't know if it was a regional difference or I might be misremembering but it was stuck in my mind.
