How much of the stuff that was cut from 'Alien' is salvageable?

[Elmazalman]

Always loved the shot of Lambert's foot and Parker's head leaking in the background.

Yes! A favourite of mine - for what it only hints at.

A side view of Parker, trickling the red stuff. A full frontal shot would have revealed the true nature of the damage: a massive hole where his forehead used to be ... and Lambert, the real horror tantalisingly (and teasingly) off screen.

I would LOVE to see outtakes of the dead bodies - perhaps alternate camera angles. The production stills appear to show bloody (Alien?) footprints near Parker's body.

There was supposedly a deleted scene shot, of the Alien releasing Parker after the fatal blow, which showed the now dead Parker crumple to his knees. I'd like to know just exactly how he ended up in that curious cross-legged sitting position.

I would love that too, maybe there's more to see than what is shown here.

Given Parker was being held upright, his legs would've easily folded into that position when he was dropped. There's not too much curious about that.

Something making it clearer Lambert was put on a hook, on the other hand ...

I'll bet the shot used in the finished film originally was a lot longer, showing more of the swaying bloody foot before panning upwards and staying on Parker.

I love that nerve-twitching acting (John Hurt, etc). Would really love to see that gruesome detail for any outtake footage of the dead bodies of Parker & Lambert.

There's this image, that shows him already collapsed, only held up by the Alien's hands, before being killed:

Since he was pinned against a wall, it would make sense for him to slide down it dead, to a sitting position.

I petition the moderators to move this discussion somewhere else: say, here - https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=68814.0 .

[The Nostromo Files [Redux]]

His brains were pulled out through the hole in his baseball cap made by the Alien's inner jaws. His buddy, Parker, also had a sizeable portion of brain tissue removed from his brain pan.

Big Chap came with lobotomies and bubble gum and he was all out of bubble gum.

The attacks are identical.

That's what Carlo said.

Carlo knows best.

I would be most interested in more footage from the Derelict, both outside and inside.

Same here

[Elmazalman]

I'd be interested in any unseen ALIEN (1979) footage.

I'd like to see more of Parker & Brett fighting the electrical fire and starting the repair work right after the landing. There was much more of that in the comic book adaptation. Production stills also indicate much more was shot for those sequences.

Also, Parker & Brett's first scene down in Engineering, when Ripley tells them to get up to the mess for a crew conference (Alien distress signal).

If you want some indication of stuff that was shot but not used, read Terry Rawlings script.
