MemberOvomorphJul-02-2012 1:20 AMThis 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)

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.
