* An added sequence with the Inquest....;
VanLeuwen: "It is the finding of this court of inquiry that warrant officer E. Ripley, NLC14472, has acted with questionable judgement...and is unfit to hold an ICC license as a commercial flight officer. Said license is hereby suspended indefinitely. Now, no criminal charges will be filed against you at this time, and you are released on your own recognizance for a 6-month period of psychometric probation; to include monthly review by an ICC psychiatric technician. These procedings are closed."
[The Special Edition then it cuts to the "File status : Closed" screen shot.]
(40 seconds)

* A major sequence involves the Colony. The Camera pans down on a sign stating "Hadley's Hope" (which is the colony on LV426). A cool rover car goes by, and then we are inside the colony. "Hal" and "Lydecker" have a conversation. Please Click here to read the exerpt from the script, modified by myself to fit the actual movie version.
(over 5 minutes)

* Just before the inquest, Ripley and Burke partake in a conversation.... this exerpt from the script has been modified by myself...;
[ Ripley sits on a bench in what we now SEE is an ATRIUM off the medical center. Burke ENTERS in his usual mode, casual haste.]
Burke: Sorry...I've been running behind all morning.
Ripley: Is there any word about my daughter?
Burke: I really think we should worry about the hearing now, because we dn't have a lot of time, ok? I've read your deposition, and it's great. If you just stick to that, I think we'll be fine. The thing to remember is, there are going to be alot of heavyweights in there. You've got the feds, interstellar commerce commission, colonial administration, insurance company guys....
Ripley: Do you have any news about my daughter?
Burke: Well, we did come up with some information. Why don't we sit down? I was hoping to wait until after the inquest...
[Burke takes out a digitized picture out of his breifcase]
Burke (Looking at picture): Amanda Ripley-McClaren. Married name, I guess. Age 66...and that was at the time of her death, which was two years ago...(silently) I'm sorry.
[Ripley studies the PHOTOGRAPH, stunned. The face of a woman in her mid-sixties. It could be anybody (actually, in real life it was Sigourney Weaver's mother.) She tries to reconcile the face with the little girl she once knew.]
Ripley (silently): Amy.
Burke: She was cremated and interred at Parkside Repository, Little Chute, Wisconsin. No children...
Ripley (visibly shaken): I promised her I'd be home for her birthday.(breaking down) Her eleventh birthday.
(1 minute, 58 seconds)

* Burke explains his interest....
[In Ripley's apartment with Gorman]
Ripley: Why are you going?
Burke: The Corporation co-financed that colony along with the colonial administration. We're getting into a lot of terraformaing now, and "Building Better Worlds."
Ripley: Yeah, yeah, I saw that commercial.
(12 seconds)

* Before the opening of the Sulaco's cryosleep chambers, there is a long establishing shot through the Sulaco (similar to in Alien with the Nostromo.) It pans througout the ships' sets.
(1 minute, 40 seconds)

* Hudson brags to Ripley....;
Hudson: I am ready man! Ready to get it on! (misc. cheers of marines) Check it out. I am the ultimate bad-ass! State of the badass art. You do not want to fuck with me. Check it out.

(12 seconds)

* [Hudson and Vasquez arming Sentry Guns and activiation.]

* There was a scene filmed, (that supposedly was shown theatricaly on the premier,) that has Ripley putting on her Reebok shoes. This is in the infirmary with Newt. Reebok promoted the film and its shoes, through adverts such as this one, and through mini-posters of the shoes in an ALIENS setting (see alienscollection.com for picture of the poster.)

* The most famous cut-cut-scene is the Burke Cocoon. This was also filmed. Originally, When Ripley goes down to Sub-level 3 to search for Newt, she finds Burke cocooned against a wall. Burke pleads with Ripley to kill him, instead, she hands him a grenade. This was cut for pacing, and its implausability; as it would be too soon for Burke to be cocooned (in regards to the ALIEN biology stated in the previous film.)

Something lands on the roof with a metallic clang.
Gorman has plastered himself against a wall, as far from the door as possible. A latch lever behind his head turns. The small hatch against which he was leaning is ripped away and SOMETHING snatches him out the opening He disappears to the waist with a shriek, legs kicking. The alien clings to the roof, pulling him out. Its tail whips over, scorpionlike, and buries a four inch stinger in Gorman's shoulder. Hicks grabs a joy stick at the FIRE-CONTROL CONSOLE and turns it rapidly. On the roof the alien looks up as servo-motors whir. A remote control turret cannon, a 20mm chain-gun, swivels toward it in a curt arc. VOOM. The creature is blasted off the vehicle's armored back and tumbles away. Gorman, slumped unconscious, is dragged back inside.
