Crawler

yeah, we had a talk about it a while ago, but that was a long time ago, and i love/hate this scene. i understand what they were trying to do, make it go towards her in a really creepy alien way, but they should have used puppetry, not the actual guy in the suit because it looks to silly, and i actually laugh when i see it lol but if they pulled it off it would have been awesome, shame they didn't though :( [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR5jYeIMBKk]here you are good sir :)[/url]

Is that the scene where it is crab walking and "wooing" her with it's tail?

ops just noticed your onk...watching it again it's way phallic...

link sorry for some reason pblem typing today..

hay dont feel bad ,,,,,,,,,,my wife is typing now ,ican not see the key board

I am firmly in the 'creeped out' camp with regard to this deleted scene, I think it looks absolutely wonderful and in my opinion adds more depth to the xeno 'character'. Let me explain how I see its relevance... For those who have seen the making of Alien (if not have a scour around you tube) there are outtakes where the actor who played the xeno was filmed only wearing the xeno head and a tight black body suit moving around the set, slowly, very slowly. He practiced Tai chi this dude and he incorporated this into his movements. All of the above outakes and the crab walking scene made me think that - a) The actor is struggling to adjust to the costume, and b) This also makes the xeno appear as being uncomfortable with its physical form or at least, it is trying to adjust to it. Point b then leads to the possibility that the xeno we see in Alien could be the first of its kind, either by the fact that the species has never used humans as a host before, or that the egg/facehugger/xeno cycle is completely new. So for all these reasons the crab scene should have been left in, I dont believe it looks cheesy or naff, it simply looks like a strange creature moving in a strange way.

In my opinion this is still a bad scene. Almost as bad as in the original alien when lambert just stands there and Parker jumps at the alien.. Jeez I have to say this is the worst scene in the movie. Who agrees?

@Snugs ... I agree with that because if you think about it the Alien has just been 'born' and so is adjusting to its 'new' form ... hence it's practising to walk, crawl, etc ... it will then find its perfect stance ... FOR KICKING ARSE ...

@Gem]n[ your good reading too,..Right on

WOW ive never seen this deleted scene! thanks for the post I do agree the crabwalk in theory is exeptionally creepy and very "Alien" however the execution of this scene could be perceived as cheesy and i totally understand and accept ppls opinions about it it is cool tho to have the xeno walk like that

thanks @ invaderzim42

Looks better than the jumping around they do in aliens

In this deleted scene the alien's movement reminds me of the Dark Star space hopper.

Looks cheesy. Looks like he's'breakdancing. Lol. i
