I'm sure there was some dialogue there with the prisoners.QuoteALIEN3 Runner was described as being larger than previous specimens.
Is it?
She says it moves differently.
She relates to Andrews that Aliens are 8 feet tall (prior to seeing the Fiorina one).
Here's a direct quote from the Alien 3 novelization:QuoteShe looked thoughtful. 'I haven't seen one exactly like this before. It's bigger, its legs are different. The other ones were afraid of fire, or at least respectful of it. Not much else.'
Quote from: Fiendishly Inventive on Nov 19, 2019, 10:14:46 AMThe Alien would have had a hell of a time climbing into its Narcissus nest backwards if the dorsal tubes were solid bone.
Not something I particularly care about the intricacies of but the back protrusions always require an amount of flexibility to traverse a ventilation system.

Resurrection was supposed to have animated, wiggly back tubes. They made the mechanisms and screen tested them and everything.
Indeed.

They're also bendy in the airducts in Aliens.
And I won't mention a particular shot in Resurrection because you'll never be able to unsee it.
Were you so inclined to see it in the first place.

I imagine they could fold down behind it when entering a confined space. The Alien that snatched Newt has floppy back tubes, then there's the Covenant Alien that climbs down the ladder tube.
Given their size I always found it suprising they could travel through ventilation systems so well. Especially with those big backpipes from the first two films.

According to Xenopedia seeing as I don't have a source book readily available;
Big chap: 7 ft 2 (Google corresponds the height with Bolaji Badejo)
