What the hell was that?

I'm stickin' to my guns and gonna look for some mention of it on the Quad DVD's commentaries...sure sounds like a living Xeno to me.

My Wife makes that noise all the time after i get back from the Beer Store i`ve heard that for years ........nothing new here

Yeah, Spartacus, I always thought it [i]sounded[/i] like an animal shriek, but figured it was supposed to represent something tearing loose inside the landing strut or one of its' supporting components......which follows logically. If I'm not mistaken, we never hear the fully developed xeno make a shrieking sound in "Alien." The chestburster screeches just after emerging, but it isn't until "Aliens" that we hear their death rattle scream.

except when Hicks & the Marine Boys shoot them in ALIENS...it' the exact same sound they make, in fact, that sound bite seems the same as the sound they make when they die, in every one of the other 3 films. And in all of the video game incantations.

Agreed, it is very similar to the death rattle we hear in the rest of the movies/games......which is really weird in light of the fact that we never heard exactly that sound again, in "Alien."

more like 14 or 15 second mark

Okay, now I've GOT to check out the one cheek sneak.

@ Mafetu Thanks...lmao.

its just as Noxword said or rather quoted from the film, they lost a shield going into the atmosphere of a turbulent planetoid. The other option seems a bit comical to me. The Xeno/SJ/David whatever makes its way to the projected landing site of the Nostromo only to be squished ! or after developing wings flies into it...SPLAT !

i always thought it sounded like an elephant and yeah its the ship landing not a xeno..... you guys were joking about that right? i hope so.

@Spartacus [quote]Now That is MAJOR REVEAL HARDLY ANYONE KNOWS ABOUT EVEN CAUSE NO ONE LISTENS PROPERLY WHILE THEY WATCH THAT SCENE. AFTER YOU'VE SEEN IT PLEASE COME BACK IN HERE AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SAW AND HEARD HIM DO, THANKS. [/quote] I have NO IDEA how I missed that this long! Thanks!

@ Spartacus Just saw the cheek sneak. Wow. So freakin' loud! I can't believe I missed it before! It's hysterical!

lol ya see im not really that crazy after all.

@artyo [i]..I always thought it sounded like an animal shriek, but figured it was supposed to represent something tearing loose inside the landing strut or one of its' supporting components......which follows logically. ..[/i] I´ll stick to this one..it may [i]accidently[/i] sound [i]similar[/i] but makes no sense at all. How could a Xeno scream so loud, that the crew would hear it at all ,particular in that HUGE noise of the landing..theres even the heavy storm outside. impossible. its more logic ( to the story, too) when they damage the nostromo by landing and get stuck ( as they do).. cheers

You are all wrong! If you look closely when Dallas, Kane and Lambert are descending from the landed Nostromo, you can CLEARLY see that a woman has been crushed beneath the left front landing strut. Only her skrawny legs are sticking out and she is wearing striped stockings and has a pair of Ruby Shoes on! They landed on the Wicked Witch of Zeta-Reticuli !!

This actually makes more sense than a lot of other stuff I read on the web, especially on AVPgalaxy

If memory serves me right it was a hull breach.
