Comments for death : Aliens: Private Hudson (Bill Paxton).

I am right in saying the aliens types are named FaceHuggers (the alien that lays the egg in the throat of the host) and ChestBursters (the baby alien that bursts out of the chest) aren't i?

I collect Dark Horse comics, I believe they dubbed them with those names.

good stuff, as they are never really named in the films (as far as i can remember) it is hard to label them with something instantly identifiable to readers.

Sorry to be a stickler about this, but just to clarify, it is an alien hand that covers Hudson's face as he is taken, not a FaceHugger. Other than that, great write up!

Just finished watching this fantastic film (again) and feel that Private Hudson deserves a Blaze of Glory category to go with his Monsters! If there is one death that epitomises the "going out with a blaze of glory", then this is it. He's the in a total frenzy, firing, and taunting the onslaught of Aliens, "you want some of this... Oh, you want some too!!"

Most definately a BoG!!

Yes, having reminded myself of the writeup, it is a definite Blaze of Glory death - has been amended.

I've had the "quadrilogy" set for years now. Reading this write-up makes me want to sort out an "Alien Weekend" to watch them all!

How about offscreen killing?

Yeah, offscreen killing seems right..
