In both shots the extra craft is in pursuit. The shot of the impact shows two thrusters hitting and that little ship has two thrusters right up front. Edit: okay the "smaller ship" is the prometheus but the other ship looks like more than a lifeboat

Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!

Ron Cobb is an amateur engineer who thinks about all those things, and has enough knowledge to make his designs plausible. I wonder if they have anyone like that among the design team, or are they just movie artists?

Why would he even show these scenes in the trailer. I don't want to know in advance that they crash their ship into a space jockey vessel. I want it to be a surprise. The trailer is too revealing. Sorry to complain, but this is my honest feeling.

@NOW! Im with you, but it looks like they have a backup, But lets be honest. I don't think anyone is making it home..

Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!

I'm going to laugh (and rejoice) if all the SJ/Prometheus crew stuff is only about half the running time or less, and there is a whole bunch of stuff after or before that.

What if this is not really an action movie? But they have to sell it to action movie fans, and so they put a few really big action sequences in as teasers? It would have been hard to make an action movie trailer out of Alien.

i don't think them crashing their ship into the space jockey ship is at the end of the film i think it hapends mid way in the film. i think the is still lots that go's on after the prometheus go's black hawk down.i think the space jockey in the ship that crashers back to the planet trys to take the humen ship that we see in the pic upabove to finish there plan...i'm probly rong ha

The scene you speak of is a clip from the end of the movie. The damaged android sends a signal to the ship to home in and hit. He also instructs it to leave a drop ship for the two who escape. You can see these two fleeing as large debris hits the ground. The alien ship vapourises leaving no trace. On one of the Moons is another craft...we hear a scream of anger and fear as it meets it new creation.

@ncc1701 ... I with ya on that one ... great looking ship ... Notice how weird that Weyland-Yutani are pasted all over the model drawing of the Nostromo when they wern't actually merged when the ship was in service ... bit of a mistake there? ... Also if you look at the Nostromo plans you can see the basic shape for Prometheus ... the VTOL thrusters have been improved ... Another thing ... out of the Alien/s movies, Promethus is the only ship to be named as the movie itself ...

fun fact, the nostromo was named after a book, and the sulako was a town in that book :)

Lifeboat with Vickers onboard, rather obvious if you look at the trailers.

Like I said, it detaches from prometheus, but it looks like more than just a lifeboat.

Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!

I count two lifeboats deployed The one that Vickers' uses shows three spots that could have been used by Ravel and Chance. The first one that was released appeared to be similar iin size and structure to Vickers' safety mudule. Hmm that makes a possible group of lifeboats that could handle 6 people. Do you think as a crew member you would be happy with maybe a place for 6 crew members in lifeboats? The Titanic had more lifeboats for the crew and passengers.
