The marines wake from hypersleep in twelve chambers. The production could only afford four. The other eight? Mirrors. That kind of make-do genius runs right through Aliens (1986), James Cameron's ferocious follow-up to Alien. Cameron went to war with his British crew to get it made, firing a cinematographer and trashing the tea trolley along the way, built a 14-foot Alien Queen by hand, and handed Sigourney Weaver's Ripley one of the great action roles. John, Westy and Matt cover the production battles, the practical effects, the Vietnam influences and the rest, then score it out of 10. Stay frosty.
