MemberOvomorph01/15/2012I 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.

MemberOvomorph01/21/2012@craigamore: well, with that info regarding Fox and the studio heads,
i can more than understand why Cameron would be forced to cut said scenes
it's really quite a shame too,
but he did get a nice deal out of it after all i guess
thanx for that info

MemberOvomorph01/21/2012No problem @shardy, glad I could help...you should check out the documentary narrated by John Hurt called, 'The Alien Saga'....it's very informative and enlightening about all four films...(it's where I got the cameron info).

MemberOvomorph01/22/2012Spartacus,
In addition to Ripley running into Burke, I heard that she also runs into Hudson..
Hudson says to Ripley "Ripley... Do you have any Pepto Bismol?"... Ripley just shakes her head and leaves...

MemberOvomorph01/31/2012The reason she gave the grenade to Burke was because he had been implanted. Blowing himself up would be considered a small mercy compared to his order that resulted in wiping out an entire colony.
