Aliens Extended Scene

MemberOvomorphJanuary 15, 20124296 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.

Me neither, I just freaked, It's incredible that that scene has been in the can for 33+ years now and we just both saw it for the first time right here !!!

Ha! She just leaves him there. I always wondered though I mean yeah Dallas wanted her to kill him but I doubt if he meant by fire. That's not exactly a quick painless death ask any old witch.

"You're all gonna die. The only question is how you check out. Do you want it on your feet? Or on your fuckin' knees... begging? I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say *fuck* that thing! Let's fight it!"

In this scene with Burke she gaves him a little grenade. That's what i read about this on great polish site http://www.kmf.org.pl/fx/alienss.html .

The scene your're talking about is on youtube. It was also in the book based off of the movie.

in spite of the fact that i trash "Aliens" a lot,
i do own the "Aliens Special Edition" laser disc
(yeah lasers discs - - remember those?)
i vaguely recall the convo between Burke and Ripley, but i do believe that
extended convo IS included in that laser disc set, and is the same version
that AMC aired, and has been airing the past year, Spike TV too i think(?)
of all the extended footage,
the scenes that come to m mind are Newt's family "discovering"
the derelict, the sentry blasters in the corridor (seemingly firing at nothing),
and the convo at the beginning of the film with some character named "Lydekker"
who by the way packing his very own sentry gun in his slacks. sorry for that...
but it's true!
in any case, as much as i've grown to detest Cameron's carbon copy
of ALIEN, i think the film reads better overall WITH ALL the deleted scenes
added, i just wish Cameron would have left them all in. i feel it helps to make
his film a bit more original, and a tiny bet less like a duplicate of ALIEN

@shardy...I agree with you about 'Aliens', I have my very own purturbed feelings about it, but I do have to say, Cameron wanted the extra scenes in his film. Fox was horrified with the length and forced him to make trims throughout. When he brought it to them a second time, the cut we know as the theatrical cut, they wanted him to trim again, but he absolutely refused. They reached a compromise in which that cut would stay the way it was and Cameron signed a contract to direct two future projects for Fox, one of which I believe was 'True Lies'.
Trust me, if Cameron had had his way, pretty much all of those scenes would have made it in.

@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

No 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).

I FOUND IT IN THE 20th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION BOXED SET! (the extended scene, I mean)

Spartacus,
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...
