Alien

One of the most effective scenes in Alien Resurrection was when Ripley confronts herself in the form of a failed, but still alive experiment. The scene was shot on two different days. On Day One we put her into the slant-board rig and blended her at the neck to an articulated silicone body. On Day Two, Sigourney, as Ripley, interacted with herself. We attached a replica of her head onto our mechanical body and puppeteered it from below to to help her emote. She was spectacular in the scene, at the end of which she torched the hero body into silicone jelly. Courtesy of m' target='_blank'>ADI.

Fair sequel to the two terrific predecessors, in which Lt. Helen Ripley faces her old nemesis once more, this time in a maximum-security prison colony.

Suspenseful tale of a malevolent creature that gradually kills off the crew of an interstellar mining ship on its return voyage to Earth. One of the all-time great movie monsters!

Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet wanted practical effects for the scene in which the Newborn is sucked through a small hole in a window into space. He wanted the head to be the final image, first stripped of skin and then the skull shattering as it disappeared into space. That was a whole lotta' Newborn to make disappear. Here are the first tests that, despite the shaky wall mock-up, had us moving in the right direction. A network of wires attached to a pre-scored skin went first, followed by a pre-scored and delicate skull rigged with an even more complex spiderweb of wires to shatter and pull pieces through the hole. And then... what better way to end this video by spilling our guts...Courtesy of ADI.

If molten lead doesn't work, try spraying the alien with cold water so the lead contracts. That should work in most cases.
