The Alien's tail

[Mr. Weyland]

In the scene when the Alien impales the predator with its tail and then brings him to his face and kills him, as anyone noticed how big the aliens tail during the scene, its about 10ft long, how did the CGI team not notice that the tail was way to long?

Hardly blame the CGI team.  Blame Anderson for not shooting coherent location footage.

Though this has nothing to due to the subject, I really enjoyed how the Two monsters were introduced into the same frame together. Even if the it was unrealistic, it was awesome to see those two meet face-to-face like that

[SM]

But the Predators were introduced way before hand?

[Mr. Weyland]

I do love the scene but Andrson should have checked the tail thing.

[Eidotemit]

I think he meant in frame like that, the first time preds and aliens were in a single frame face to face.

and ya, the tails length is messed up.

[ian36015]

^ Exactly. Hope something like that will show up in 2

[~Jarrecko~]

I'm still a bit iffy about the whole town thing. Sounds like a monsters come to a quiet suburban neighbor hood and cause havok movie like Critters or Gremlins

[ian36015]

Me too if I think the movie takes place in a city suburbs. But when a little town in the desert pops up...this thing just might work

[Mr. Weyland]

I thought we were talking about a tail here 

[Dachande]

Bishop gets all too acquainted with a tail in Aliens doesnt he?

[Mr. Weyland]

Yes, ripped me in half once.

if it wasn't for everyone complaining about the length of the tail, i would never have noticed.

I say this because the scene was an awesome way to set up the first face to face of an alien and pred, so i was focused on the "wow" moment rather than "oh, the tail's too long, i can't enjoy, let alone like this movie"...

It looked like crap

Not only that but an adult alien would never be able to lift a Predator off the ground.
