There is actually a certain explosion that happens as Ripley is making her way through the processing station that now seems pretty random, but I think is actually originally Burke blowing up.
 
Guys, could you please tell me what are the best AVP comic books out there? Might be a bit off topic, but I thought I might just ask rather than creating a new thread.

Thanks!
 
I never read the comics, but the paperbacks with Machiko kinda gave me an appreciation for the AVP movie. I believe at least the first book was what the first AVP comic was based on. As a story it's alright.
 
only one i really like was the original black and white one with no dialogue #0 if i recall. all it had was a narrative of two space truckers arguing that mirrored the action in the panels.

the second story that introduced machiko was decent but the first was a piece of art.

where was the t1000000 in TS, it was in the terminator ride(or terminator 2.5)

Not yet developed, remember they jump to 2029, whereas 2018 is the setting of TS...

And yes, it was a pretty crappy terminator, but the rest of that ride is SOOO COOL...
 
pardon my ignorance but what the hell is a T-1 million and what does it even look like?

It's part of the T2 3-D experience at Universal Studios. We the audience are seated in a big theater that is supposed to be the Myles Dyson Memorial Auditorium where Cyberdyne is showing us their latest and greatest technology, the T-70 Super Soldier (T-800 ancestor). After a breakin by Sarah (Hamilton) and John (Furlong), and the arrival of the T-1000 (Patrick), the T-800 (Arnold) shows up and scoops up John and jumps forward through time to 2029 (apparently going forward means you don't have to go naked and you can take your motorcycle with you). They run from the T-1000 who followed them through, evade Aerial HKs, hide from Mini-Hunters (which are actually kinda cool IMO) and take out a badass Endoskeleton before racing to the Cyberdyne Pyramid to blow up Skynet.

Inside the Pyramid is a giant mimetic poly alloy, multi-legged, spider/crab-monster looking thing that Arnold totally disappoints me by calling the T-1,000,000. LAME! They shoot some liquid nitrogen cooling tanks and freeze it, then shoot it with a Palsma Rifle. As the shattered pieces start to melt again and rejoin, John runs and jumps into the time displacement thingy while Arnold 'Tarzans' over to the gigantic Skynet processing core with a bag of boom, and blows up the pyramid (which we the audience are currently sitting in). The explosion is pretty impressivley simulated as the whole room fills with fog and the seats all slam down as though the floor collapsed.

Funny thing about the 3D ride is that Cameron directed it. I guess he didn't give a ^^^^ about continuity when he made it.

yep, that's them.

Yeah, Cameron was certainly not going for canon material when he made that attraction. Guess that's all he could do within the confines of a theater. For what it is, it's fun to do every time I go to Universal.

T-70: Why, if Cyberdyne has the remains of the original Endo, does everything leading up to it have to be oversized like the 70 and McG's 600s. It doesn't make sense for everything that is reverse engineered from the 800 to have to go through this size evolution just to eventually get back to the 800, does it.
 
I was at Universal a few years before they built the T2-3D ride regrettably. Is it still there? I would really like to check it out.
 
Best go quick, they got rid of the Back to the Future ride, who knows how long T2:3D has left before it's replaced with 'TS: The Chrisitan Bale yelling at you experience in 5D!'

Thats so sad....I went on the Back to the Future ride as kid...All I remember is yelling at Biff in the small screen and being eaten by a dinosaur....
 
Wow, you haven't been there in a really long time then. Yes, it's still there.

Yeah I think I went when I was about 8, so around '93. This was back when they still had the Ghostbusters show/ride. I would really like to check it out now, but living near Chicago makes it hard getting out there.
