This has probably been discussed or revealed to many 'O Alien fans but I thought it was cool.It seems the "Mr.Fusion" prop used on the Delorean time machine in the "Back To The Future" films was also used as a set dressing in the the first "Alien" film. As seen in Alien(1979) [IMG]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z292/djrees_2007/MrFusionalienBTTF-1.jpg[/IMG] As seen in Back To The Future(198?).This pic is obviously from a back lot or maybe even one of the fan made replica cars out there.But there's Mr.Fusion.

what was this originally? it must have been a re-purposed coffee maker or vacuum cleaner part.

So the time machine and the Nostromo are German, or at least built with German parts^^

so cool, & this kind of thing happens a lot in film, good props are reused in diff films & sometimes for diff purposes.
