Always loved the design for these suits, with the nice touches of the armored shoulder pads and such. Thanks for posting these pics and Ripley in underwear of course. Hard to believe that ALIEN is 35 years old...same age as my wife. I recently rewatched this film on DVD with the extended footage, and it is a masterpiece that while copied many times, it has never surpassed.
those Space Suits are stuff of Legends Fact is there were design by Moebius aka Jean Giraud he work only few days in the production mostly on costumes and second Alien Space wreck design.
Those two drawings of Suit were used by John Moilo Who a made medidieal japanese armor approach and used look, So like the Suit were second hand items. in total seven suits were made 6 EVA and "White Knight" suit wear by Ripely during killing the Beast 3 of EVA suit were made for Children to use on Landing-leg scene, so it's look gigantic
but the filming was nightmare for Actors, they getting hot inside suits and passing out in it. while Scott was filming during one of Hottest Summers in Britain. (notice the moister in inside of helmet.)
Adam Savage build one autentic suits with original parts and used on Comic con but let explains him self https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjkqE76Ebxs
That is mystery about ALIEN There several official picture of that Handgun http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-krb7WsqYxMM/UXfpYIavWhI/AAAAAAAAVow/3bmVuDe_M5w/s1600/suitsoneset.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8zQreE2SpOs/UXf5fkz7m-I/AAAAAAAAVq0/k6FaTORTzk0/s1600/aliencrew.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nNlf4fGoJbk/UXfv0AfOmJI/AAAAAAAAVps/nM1TcsCqWWU/s1600/breaktable.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-umoxbFtRGJg/UXfpWsggx4I/AAAAAAAAVoE/Ixz5wRPyoX8/s1600/aliencontinuity02.jpg
Why were those things not used in Movie ? First the incident with Face hugger blood make clear "NOT SHOOT THE ALIEN" Second this movie would quick over if Crew can kill the Beast fast with that Gun.

I was going to ask you to post a direct link, William but I see its been covered already. Its always a nice moment when someone quotes you back to yourself.
Maybe. The Doctor Who alien looks like the suit was recycled from somewhere - some industrial military outfit with a previous purpose. The design and construction of the Alien suits are quite well documented and my feeling is they are manufactured from scratch except for the large Cricket pads on the shins

ReplyDeleteIt must be due a re-watch round our way soon. Did Aliens a couple of weeks ago, extended version. Which still stands up well.

DeleteIndeed!
DeleteJohn Hurt's space suit seem to be made out of whatever the same padded material was used to make Malpha from 'The Dalek's Master Plan'
