Alien Cut Scenes


Numerous scenes were edited out of the theatrical release of Alien. Ridley Scott excised these scenes for pacing, storyline, and other reasons.

The Special Edition of ALIEN, originally released in 1992, contain these scenes at the end of the film. The 2003 release contains These scenes, and other edits all integrated into the film. The details below summarize some of the additional scenes that can be found in the Special Edition release.

 

The following is a list/transcript of the scenes, in order as they would have appeared in the film.

* Kane and Lambert wake up.
[There is a nice pan of the main area, around the table.]
Kane : Rise and shine Lambert.
Lambert : What time is it?
Kane : What do you care.
(about 45 seconds)

* A long exterior shot of the Nostromo's tow. Only included in the ALIEN Collectors edition. (Thanks to AL)
(55 seconds)

* [The Alien shows more as Lambert's death scene is extended.
This includes a shot of the Alien on the floor, sorta crawling around to Lambert. (and pointing its tail.) It then stands up in front of her.]
(42 seconds)

* Lambert plots a course to the planet, and picks up the Alien signal.
[they all sit down in the cockpit area]
Dallas : Can we all hear that Lambert?...
[A very, very odd noise for the signal is displayed. Fantastic signal sound!]
Kane : Good god!
Ripley : Doesn't sound like any radio signal I've heard.
Lambert : Maybe it's a voice?
Dallas : Well, we'll soon know. Can you home in on it?
Lambert : What was the position?
Dallas : 6-5-5-0 dash 9-9.
Lambert : Alright, well I found the quandrant. Ancension 6 minutes, 20 seconds. Declination 39 degrees 2 seconds.
Dallas : Ok, Put that on the screen for me.
Lambert : Alright, well, thats it. It's a planetiod. 1200 kilometres.
Kane : It's tiny.
Dallas : Any rotation?
Lambert : About 2 hours.
Dallas : What about gravity?
Lambert : point .86.
Ash : We can walk on it.
(1 minute, 40 seconds)

* Kane lowers his weapon before peering at the Egg. (Thanks to AL) Can be viewed within the 'Making of ALIEN LEGACY' documentary.

* Ash assists Dallas in carrying Kane into the Nostromo. (Thanks to AL) Can be viewed within the 'Making of ALIEN LEGACY' documentary.

* [Lambert confronts Ripley about not letting her in with Kane. This occurs while they are watching Ash and Dallas in the medical area.] Brett (looking at Kane): Jesus Christ.
Parker (through the glass): Hey, how's he breathing? (brett mutters something) How come you guys don't freeze him?! (to Brett) How come they don't fre...what is that, anyway? (faces Brett) what the hell's going on here?
Ripley (enters the area): Alright, what the fuck is going ON!
Lambert (who runs up to the approaching Ripley) : You bitch! (She takes a few swipes at Ripley)
[Parker and Brett run in to break it up. "Hey! Hey..break it up!"]
Lambert (still struggling): ..gonna leave us out there! (calms down...) Let go of me!
Dallas : Ripley when I give an order I expect to be obeyed!
Ripley : Even if it's against the law?
Dallas : You're goddamned right.
Parker : Well maybe she should have...who the hell knows what that thing is. How come you guys brought it up here in the first place?!
Brett : Right!
Ripley : Call it settled!
[They show Ash and Dallas near Kane...]
Dallas : How we gonna get that off of him. How we gonna get that OFF!?
Ash : ?? ?? ?? [gets a 'thing']
[Shows the rest of the group]
Ripley : What happened to him. What happened TO HIM?
Lambert : It was in the derelict. (Brett mutters) Look, we were inside and there was nothing around, and he volunteered to go down below. He found these...egg things. We lost communication and the next thing we bring him up and he's got this thing on his face!
(1 minute, 40 seconds)

* Another scene involved the crew discussing Kane and what happened. (after the acid-hull thing.)
[In the medical lab with Kane.....]
Lambert : Did any of the acid get on him?
Ash : No.
Lambert : It stopped dripping.
Ash : Yes, it ??
Lambert : Well, there has to be umm..some way to get this off his face.
Ash : Hm? Yes, well I don't think we ought to try that again it didn't work out to well last time.
Ash : Well I've better get some intervenious to feed him though. So far we don't know how much is absorbed in his system. (Faces Lambert) You alright?
Lambert (nods) : Yep.
[Parker and Ripley enter, Brett arrives later]
Parker : So what's going on here anyway? I mean... he gonna be alright?
Brett : Is any of this shit down ?? with him. Is he gonna live? huh?
Ripley : What's that...that stain on his lungs?
Ash : I don't know Ripley. Whatever it is its blocking the scanner.
[They all look at the scanner. Silent.]
Brett : So what do we do now?
Parker : Yeah, what's going on?
Dallas : We get back to work, and get out of here.
[The crew leaves the medical area.]
(2 minutes, 16 seconds)

* Ripley calls down to Parker and Brett about the progress of repair on the ship.
[Brett and Parker are working on repairs in the Nostromo...]
Brett : Wait a minute, wait a minute, I think I got it. Give it a try now....
Parker (sarcastic) : I'm sorry my friend you don't have anything.
Brett : Damn. I was sure that was it.
Parker : Well it's not man, try the next one! What engineering school did you go to?
[Intercom goes off....Ripley speaks, but I can't make it out..."What's Happening?"]
Parker : awww shit man. My johnson thats what's happening man...you know that...shit.
Parker (sarcastic): Allota real hard work, haaaaard work Ripley.
Ripley : Yah, I can hear it.
Parker (to Brett) : ooohhh this one time you know what I mean....boom! (To Ripley in the intercom) You oughta try sometime, sweethart.
Ripley (intercom): Parker, I've got the toughest job on this ship. Yeah I gotta listen to all your numbers.
Parker (To Brett): this one time...... [Brett and Parker mutter at each other.]
Parker (To Ripley): Why don't you get off my back?
Ripley I'll get off your back as soon as the 12 modules are fixed.
Parker (laughs): This broad's a bitch, man.
(1 minute, 16 seconds)

* Another scene that was cut involved the crew discussing what happened, and where to go next. This is after the chest-burster, and is in the main eating area.
[Everyone enters.]
Dallas : See anything?
Brett : No.
Ripley : It must have gone below.
Brett : Look goddamit, All I..all I want to know is what...what is it. Mr. Ash now you're the science man, you have the fucking thing on here to study it, now you've studied it, what is it. I mean, how are we gonna deal with it?
Ash : I don't know Brett.
Dallas : He's using it as a host, as some kind incubator. [pause] now whatever the hell it is we have to catch it and we gotta eject it from the ship, right?
Ash : Yes, but how precisly are you going to do that?
Dallas : We flush it out Ash, room by room quarter by quarter.
Ripley : That will take a while.
Dallas : Do you have an alternative?!
Ash : Our supplies are based on us spending a limited amount of time in the hypersleep...
Ripley : Well I don't think were going to the freezers with that thing running around loose.
Brett : No, look at what it did to Kanes mask for chrissakes, we'll be sitting ducks.
Parker (pissed): Look! While we're sitting around here shooting off our mouths that thing is running around the ship! I don't know about you but I'm scared. Let's find a way of killing it!
Lambert : You can't kill it its body acid will burn straight through the hull.
Parker : Then we put it on our pressure suits and blow all the air out of the ship that will kill it.
Lambert (sarcastic): That is a terrific idea.
Parker : Well whose idea was it in the first place to let that thing on board.. it wasn't my idea! (Parker and others shout...)
Dallas (and others): Come on! This isn't gonna solve...
Ash : Just a minute. Now I really do hate to point this out, but it might better off without oxygen, its lived that way long enough.
Ripley : We got another problem, how are we gonna find it
Brett : What?
Ripley : We have another problem, how do we find it... ?? (We're Blind) on B and C decks. All the screens are out down here.
Brett : Great.
Lambert : Ya what do we do when we find it?
Dallas : We'll trap it somehow.
Brett : Hey that's it, trap it. Get us a bit of a Strong net, and a..a cattle prod... I can get something together!
Lambert : Oh god, why are we listening to this Idiot!
Brett : Hey, has anyone else got a better idea?
[Shouting with Lambert....]
Dallas : How long would it take you to do that?
Brett : hey..ahh what. Parker? what do you think, an hour? 20 minutes?
Parker : Well wait a minute let me think for chrissake! (Pause) 20 minutes to an hour.
Dallas : Alright, do it.
[Parker, Brett and Lambert leave...]
Dallas : 20 minutes to an hour. It's more like 2 to 3 with them.
Ash : Great.
(2 minutes, 57 seconds)

* Brett's death is longer, showing the Alien 'tongue-stab' him. Ripley and Parker appear as the Alien makes its merry way into the air shafts. Brett seems a bit in shock about the whole thing. :)
Brett (while making a weird blowing / shock noise): PARKER!! AHHHHHH!
[The Alien kills Brett, and carries him up.]
[Ripley and Parker come running in.]
Parker : Brett! Brett!
Ripley : Brett!
[In a really great shot, Parker looks up, and his white shirt becomes smeared with Brett's dripping blood, unseen in the Nostromo's high top.]
(49 seconds)

* Ripley reassures Lambert, and asks if she has ever had "fun" with Ash. :)
[Lambert is crying / sniffling...]
Ripley : I think it's the only way.
Lambert : I'm sorry you know, it just seems like your asking us to kill each other one by one.
Ripley : I promise you if it doesn't look like its gonna work, I'm gonna get us out of here. Will you hang in there, ok?
[Breif Pause as Ripley consoles Lambert]
Ripley : I want to ask you a question.
Lambert : What?
Ripley : Have you ever slept with Ash?
Lambert (laughing): No. I never got the impression he was particular interest? [I think she says this] Why?
Ripley : I want you to figure out where we are now, ok? Plot our course.
[They both walk off.]
Lambert : Okay.
(1 minute, 38 seconds)

* A long sequence included Ripley and Lambert talking with Parker, in an attempt to trap the Alien in the Airlock. This sequence was only partially filmed. Below are the transcripts of the scenes availible...
Parker (in intercom) : Ripley! Ripley! Dammit! Where the hell are you? Ripley! Ripley!
[Lambert and Ripley come racing in the cockpit area.]
Lambert : We're here.
Parker : Keep it down, keep it down.
Ripley : What is it Parker?
Parker : Its..It's come outside the main airlock door. Now open the doors slowly when I say. ??? then pull [close] the other door. Okay... ??
[Pause as Ripley and Lambert wait for Parker's signal...]
Parker : Okay Now! NOW!
Ripley : Parker, Parker?
Lambert : Paarker!?
Ripley (To Lambert): I'm going down, stay here!
[Ripley runs off to Parker]

The rest of this scene that was unfilmed involved Parker observing the Alien, then an Alarm rings, startling the creature. The Alien runs out, crushing part of the creature, and acid spreads. Depressurization is coming.... and it then cuts to the next scene.

Lambert (to the intercom, very scared) : Ripley? Ripley? Ash? Ash?? Ripley? Ash? anybody? Ash? Get some oxygen and get down to the 'lock, quick!
[Lambert runs off to the airlock.]

Ash and Lambert then arrive to give oxygen to Ripley and Parker. Ripley then accuses Ash of activating the alarm that startled the Alien.
This was quoted almost directly from Al's Alien page, from the Alien cut scenes area. Thanks Al!
(about 2 minutes)

* Lambert's and Parker's death scene was originally longer, and included the Alien walking crab-like towards them.

* After Ripley finds Parker's and Lambert's bodies, there is various moaning sounds. The, after searching a tad, she looks on the walls, and she finds a Brett-egg.
Dallas : (Moans very sickly.)
Ripley (in shock): Dallas...god....Dallas
Dallas : Killll me.
Ripley : What did it do? (She pauses, and looks up to Brett-egg) ...Brett...
Ripley : I'll get you out of here. I'll get you up to the shuttle....
Dallas : kill meeee..
Ripley : What did I do?
Dallas : Ripleyyy.....
[Ripley torches the Dallas and Brett eggs.

This deleted scene adds a step to the life cycle of the Alien, but was cut, which gave James Cameron the ability to introduce the Queen. Dallas is slowly mutating into an Alien Egg, and pleads with Ripley to kill him. She does!
(3 minutes, 22 seconds)

ALIEN Unfilmed Cut-Scenes


* While traveling across the planet to the Derelict, the team stop under a large rock formation. There is a fossilized 'creature' embedded within the rock. This was in the original script. (Thanks to AL, and Kevin.) This was in the original script.

* Dallas and Ripley were orignally scripted to make love, and during the procedures Kane's body floats outside them, as they are in an observatory bubble. None of this scene was filmed. Ridley Scott drew storyboards for this scene.

* Ripley searches Ash's Blister for the Key to Mother. In the script but not filmed. (Thanks to AL)

* There was also a scene that never made it past the script stage, it was originally supposed to end by having the ALIEN bite Ripley's head off and then make a transmission with her voice. Fox canned it because they thought it too grim. (Thanks to Hicks.)
