Alien (1979)

[Mike J.]

Are there any such things?

I have in my head an idea for a few non-canonical ones, but what real stuff is out there?

There were tons of paper props.
Dirty pictures all over the walls right? :lol

I guess a bunch of late '70s trashy skin mags would do the trick. :lol

There is one famous paper prop that doesn't appear in the actual film... a big star chart "MAP OF THE HEAVENS" that is on the breakroom table, I think when they're demoing the "cattle prod".

There is a "FIESTA" magazine in the movie.

Yeah, I scanned that pic of the "Stars of the Middle Heavens" from "The Book of Alien," and I'll discuss that a little later on

Self Destruct sequence instructions?

Don't know if that counts since it was attached to a big metal door.

The Bolaji cigarette pack?

There are also an assortment of drawings and post cards on the walls in the crews sitting area, as well as the assorted magazines.
Notes on the consoles on the bridge. etc...

Dallas looks of a schematic of the ship when they are discussing finding the alien.

Looks like a pic of the Moon. I now it is from the second film but, how about crew profiles. They were on the screen behind Ripley during the questioning with the Company Board.

Also, print outs of the Mother discussions.

Best,

This thing is folded like a road map and is easily 3 x 5 feet.

Mine is a 1984 reprint - got it off Amazon.com

Good luck

How ironic. I think that those happen to be the same brand that Stephen "The Eye" Wilson (Ewen McGregor) and Joanna Eris (Ashley Judd) smoke in "Eye of the Beholder" (1999). Anyways, back onto the topic...

Anyone have copies of the Wayland Yutani (spelled differently as I recall...) beer bottle labels?

 

[SKIN JOB 66]
