I'm not saying the references ruined the movie...Just listing them.
I was not saying that you said that either.
I just wanted to say they did not before some one else came here and claimed that they did.

- The shot of Lex climbing the ledge after Sebastian gets taken is identical to the shot of Ripley coming up the ladder in Alien.

- Feb 12, 2007, 02:37:39 AM These little things IMHO did not hurt.
It was other crappy dialogue, and forced sounding lines, poor execution, the PG-13 stuff that hurt viewing the movie.
That and it was way too short of a movie, and very rushed, scene to scene with no transition.
The references were alright.

-Dialogue. Verheiden says "You ugly son of a bitch." Lex says: "You're one ugly mother..."

- Feb 11, 2007, 06:06:24 PMI thought it might be a cool idea to start a thread to list all the references in AvP to other Alien/Predator related things.
Off the top of my head -
*The character Verheiden is named after Aliens comic author Mark Verheiden.
*The satallite PS12 is also in the Predator novel Cold War - In the novel, the satallite detects a heatbloom in Dibera from a crashed Predator ship.
*The scene in the tunnels is a homage to the vent scene in Alien.
There's tons more, I just can't remember them all at the moment. Go a head and throw them up.
