Looking back now, the Porno magazine is a bit of a funny touch.
In 1979, who would have though that we would be where we are now.
Ridley tried to make it as futuristic as he could, but even then they thought that people would still be reading paper magazines 130 years into the future!
Think about it back then... The original Atari video game console was just hitting the market... There was NO such thing as a PERSONAL COMPUTER and the "Internet" was still fantasy to most.
Imagine that today... Ash might be trying to stuff an iPad or Android Tablet down Ripley's throat. Hahaha!

yes I have seen them and that could be true but I was under the impression it was just an urban legend, and are you sure they aren't just laughing while they say that?... Like maybe..."there was a rumour it was a porn mag on the set" but YES I have seen the pics on the walls in the seen you can't miss em.
Either way it;s an interesting piece of trivia.

Well on the anthology 2003 cast and crew commentary they do say its a porno mag because above on the wall if you look there are pictures of naked girls pinned to the wall when he is shoving the mag into her mouth.

NO, but in the commentary on the Quadrilogy DVD's they discuss, all of the actors in that scene that is, plus Ridley, it's >>>IMPLICATIONS<<< and the Implications were derived from a Joke either Skerrit or Scott made that the whole thing was in fact ANDROID RAPE and the Magazine was a Metaphor for ASH's Penis.

Its apparent to me that a lot of you or some of you have not heard this commentary and i would like to say buy this version because its the most fascinating commentary in the entire quadrilogy/anthology with facts, and insight, of the cast , crew, writers, editor terry rawlings, the views about the score the humour the agony, the ecstasy, of the making of this legendary film i can not recommend this highly enough to hear dan o bannons views on giler and hill ridleys psychology of the crew etc its amazing and the highlight of the entire set for me. john hurts views, tom skerrit with veronica cartwright and Harry dean stanton, ....sigourney and ridley, together. ron shusset etc.. the whole thing is as interesting as the film itself .

He has one because he has his own toy company now and writes Novels, he is working on his third one..the first was Published by Double Day in NYC and is about the Mafia and The FLQ in Quebec in the 1970's.

I would add that in alien ash is supposed to be a later model i assume .
Well in the commentary regarding ash's sex drive ridley says that the reason ash forces the rolled up magazine down ripley's throat is because sex is a curiosity to him, but since he doesn't have that particular male part he used the rolled up magazine as a substitute.
The commentary is the one where he's talking with sigourney the 2003 cast and crew version, and she had no idea that ridley had that notion and sounds rather shocked by it lol.
Check it out guys./girls.

@Eddie "AlteredState" Jessup, It is amazing amazing commentary, I listen to it all the time...you learn so much from it.
April 18, 2012
@Sparty yeah agreed the only members missing were yaphet kotto and ian holm but the rest is priceless . oh and jonesy lol
April 18, 2012
I love what Yaphet and Ridley did to each other on the night before and day of Yaphet's Final Shoot!
April 18, 2012
@alteredstate; I have seen many documentaries, I do remember the one where they mention the porno, but it was said Ash was mimicking the facehugger he so admired. :(
If ever you find it online, please send me the link, :D

Altered really i dont remember that explication and even if its from ridley i think he really didnt know anymore what to say .
I think that from an android standpoint he made a simple reasoning : she have an hole open to breath , ive to clog that hole with something ....then he see the magazine . I really dont find any relaction with sex .
