Shaw's massive C-section wound...

When I saw the coming's original post and read his article link, I really thought this would definately end up an 'R' rating... Unfortunately Redleader is correct, and it is NOT a huge 'gash', but rather merely a long 'bloodstain' across the top of Shaw's lower coverings. The photo in the original post is indistinct, but if you look at the high quality photo that danrald posted lower down on the previous page, you can see it's just a 'bloodstain'. I read somewhere that the red blood splatters on Shaw were coloured black purely for the benefit of toning that particular trailer down, by the way... She WILL have red blood on her in the actual movie, but that's just a bloodstain on her coverings...so this will certainly still likely end up a PG-13 theatrical release. Too bad.

Redleader, The power prayer.. lol. Do you guys have a higher res picture? Actually I could see Fox covering up the blood for the U.S. trailer, but in other countries it would not be as offensive? That maybe a little silly, but it's a shot. Or maybe its like Svanya says.. lol.

Funny how US audiences get all wigged out by a little bit of blood.

@Cervantes...have to disagree there..this is not a bloodstain, this is definitely a medical C-section incision, you can see the skin sort of flapping out. We also know there is a strong possibility she had something removed, and a C-section was probably programmed into the medical computer so she had to go with that Saying that, if they have replaced these shots digitally with stapled versions (very possible and done all the time) then it looks like they are heading towards PG territory I hope they will keep the original footage for an R version

Here are pic comparisons and staples.... [img]http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h139/rzsinister/staples.jpg[/img] [img]http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h139/rzsinister/staples_int.jpg[/img]

Redleader, Nice work, it looks as though her "shorts" absorbed a a bunch of blood. And in the U.S. trailer, they made it look muddy/black. But that is just one of the many discrepancys, I'll write this one off as logical.

It's just the top of her waistcloth stained with blood. I could see how some people would mistake it for a wound though. When I first saw the trailer I thought it was too, for a second.

a c section doesnt require a slice all the way across the obliques on both sides. Maybe a 5-6 inch incision a couple inches below the belly button. The second pic actually shows the true scar and staples. Thd red has to be just blood/ mud. I would think they wouldnt need staples 75 years from now, why not a laser to cauterize and put the skin back together

There are indeed two variations of the same scene, 1 with staples and 1 without, the colours also are different green and blood, as in general editing process scenes are filmed and re-filmed in order to give a Director a choice of what fits in the main film. So during the course of time these are released in part to see what the fans are more intrigued with and want to see as well as give us something to chew on, hell i love considering the angles when it comes to the film that will no doubt be the Blockbuster horror of the year! Also in a previous post it was pointed out when the images are examined frame by frame Shaw indeed has a c section via [ MEDPOD ] that removes the alien organism on a umbilical cord from her abdomen that perhaps her reaction to said poss Xeno is not without merit. I recall hearing the voice of MOHAWK man saying these ( things ) are moving meaning more than 1 thing so we can speculate that there will be various creatures not just a jockey/SJ or the thing that is removed via Dr Shaw. We also hear another voice saying cut it out to what is he refering, cold it be the person who has a pink 'slimer' jumping into his suit. And for laugh's when David7/8 looks at his finger tip with a blob on it his reference to big things have small beginnings lets hope it has nothing to do with his left nostril, best leave those to kids to dwell on!!!

Imagine her state of mind if she had to remove it herself. :(
