Aliens Special 2-disc Set

[Guest Regan MacNeil]

I've only seen bits and pieces of the 4 Alien films so I was wondering, how big is Lance's part in Aliens? The Alien films seem O.K., but I'm pretty much only interested in buying this as a Lance Henriksen fan. I saw the introduction of the Bishop character (where he does that knife thing), but that's pretty much all I saw of him. Also, how much is he in the special features? I saw that he's on one of the commentary tracks, but so were about 300 other people.

Well, It's not a major role, but he is in there quite a bit. This movie is one of my all time favourites, It's easily worth that money.

Bishop was introduced in the second movie Aliens (with an "s"). This was the best of the 4 in my opinion. It's got to be in my top ten best Sci-Fi movie list.

I now have 26 'Lance' movies and have seen 3-4 more on the TV... they range from a few seconds [but the set where he met his present wife] to being the star and everything inbetween.. ONE thing I have noticed about all his movies.. he always leaves a presence... even if the movie is crappy [ and there are several] you never fail to appreciate him....and in my opinion his acting has only gotten better !!

I think Aliens 'collectors edition' is your best bet.. and he is in Alien3 'collectors edition' [altho a very tiny role] it too is good. He reads the abridged version of Alien 3 on cassette [haven't found it on CD yet] and it is a pleasure to listen to him talk for several hrs ..
