Aliens Extended Scene

MemberOvomorphJanuary 15, 20124297 Views38 RepliesI was wondering if anyone else has seen this.
I want to say it was about 5 years ago, I saw a version of Aliens on AMC one night that was exactly like the Special Edition release but had one extended scene in it. (It may of had more but I caught it 20 minutes before the scene)
It is an extended conversation between Burke and Ripley about Burke sending the colonists to the derelict ship.
Has anyone else seen this and/or knows where I can find this? I have the quadrilogy and Anthology but neither has this scene.

never saw that one, but ill definatley search it. really got me intrigued on this one man
January 15, 2012
I have been searching ever since I had seen it. I have often wondered if I just dreamed it but I have met one other person who, knowing how huge of an Aliens fan I am, asked me if I had seen it and he saw it too on AMC.

Can you be more specific about the details of the conversation? Because I have the DVD release of the Special Edition from 99' and it has a conversation between Ripley and Burke about sending them to check out the derelict's coordinates.
Ripley: "I checked the company log dated */*/79...signed Burke, Carter J....You sent them out there and you didn't warn them. Why didn't you warn them Burke?"
Burke: "I made a bad call Ripley...It was a bad call......"
Ripley: "A Bad call? These people are dead Burke. Don't you have any idea what you've done here? Well I'm going to make sure they nail you to the wall for this. You're not going to sleeze your way out of this one...right to the wall."
Can you recall what they said beyond those lines I was able to remember there?

The only thing I get when I search for it is the Cocoon scene. (Which in my opinion is awful and glad it made the cutting room floor).
The scene is:
Bishop tells Ripley that Burke wants the Aliens kept alive to be returned to the company labs. Instead of the abrupt cut to Ripley standing over Burke, You see Ripley walk away from Bishop and go to a computer to look into logs for the colony. She sees Burke signed the order and gets up and goes to Medical where Burke is and starts talking with him. Ripley does not come right out about knowing he sent people to look at the derelict and quickly catches Burke lying to him and slowly becomes less calm with him.
This is where the scene picks up in the official releases, with Ripley standing over Burke looking displeased.
It may have played out a little differently but as my memory serves this is pretty accurate to what I saw. It was 5 years ago but has been on my mind since.

hmmm, intresting. the cocoon scene is a bit controversial. it does slow the movie down alot and brings up alot of questions, but the model of bret is awesome

Burke replies: "You know Ripley I thought you'd be smarter"
Ripley: "Well Im happy to disappoint you."
Somewhere in your summary up there Burke talks about why he instructed Bishop to take a speciment back. Burke talks about how the alien would be worth millions to the Bio-weapons industry.

I meant the Burke Cocoon scene. I think the Alien cocoon scene was interesting but I'm ok with that being left out.
Though I do remember about 6 years ago when they released a copy of Alien that was played at theaters and it had a cleaned up and plot integrated version of that scene. It worked well but still kind of stumbles the story.

It probably isn't available on DVD. I've seen that before with other movies. Scenes you couldn't even find in the deleted scenes make it into a special cable cut of the film...weird, I know, but I've seen it before.
examples: Dune, a number of the Harry Potter films

"and if your smart, we'll both come back heros and be set up for life"
"your crazy burke, you know that. how will you get a dangerous organism back through icc qurantine.
"how can they impound it, if they dont know about it."
January 15, 2012
Well If anyone happens to have a taped off cable version of the film let me know haha. *Long shot*

I have a question that may be off the topic, but someone might know. How far from the colony was the derelict ship? Because I have always wondered when they blew the colony, did the explosion distroy the space jockey ship too? I think it was to far away to be destroyed and should be still there. Does anyone know? Maybe it was answered in a book or something. If not destroyed, maybe someone will write a book or make a movie going back to LV426.

well, you guys should know that the conversation between Burke and Ripley where it becomes obvious that Burke has sent the colonists to find the derelict ship and getting upset is not an extended scene but has been always since the cinematic version of the movie!
January 16, 2012
All the extended footage is available in the special addition which was released with the alien trilogy box set. And as far as distance it couldn't have been that far from the colony the crawler newts parents used to get there didn't seem to move all that fast. Plus since the company knew it was there the proximity of the colony to the derelict was probably intentional.

The scene extension comes before Burke and Ripley are talking. The scene that was left in the movie is a shortened version of the scene I am talking about. You get the ending of the scene in the original cut. There is about a minute or so of Ripley checking the computer records then going to Burke and starting a conversation about it before the original scene comes in.
The original scene has Burke starting off saying - "Look those things are worth millions to the bio weapons division."
In the deleted cut, Ripley begins talking with him and catches him lying/not telling the whole truth and then Burke starts explaining himself. This is where the original scene comes in.
I have 3 different VHS release copies, 4 DVD copies and the Blu Rays. None of them have this scene.
I wish James Cameron were here!

Ugh! Every time I remind myself of this I think more and more that I am insane. I have checked 3 different versions of the script and none of them have this scene in them.
