-Alien was a VERY huge hit back in the day, brilliantly directed and acted by everyone involved. Since it's a horror movie, I found it very dull and "nothing's happening", but seriously- it's well-shot as hell. I've SEEN the suit they used for the movie- it's cheap plastic nothing. That it looked THAT GOOD in the movie is why James Cameron is among the best. It of course spawned a HUGE franchise, with the sequel changing gears completely to be an Action Movie, and one of the best ever made. It gave us several great characters, especially Vasquez, and features the great "Get away from her, you BITCH!" moment, and subsequent Alien Queen (vs) Ripley In Mecha-Suit battle.
-There were numerous sequels, all of which were pretty bad. Joss Whedon wrote one, and apparently the crew there are incredibly-similar to the crew in Firefly- it even has Whedon's personal favorite thing- Wispy Tiny Girls With Mental Issues. The franchise has endured, even though most of the films have been completely awful since the second one.
-Their are three variants on the design, which work rather differently. The Exo Sting & Xeno Strike are only available to the Acidic Variation, while the Tarkatan Variation has Arm Blades- since Aliens are infamously able to take on some traits of those who get facehugged. There's also a Konjurer Variation that deals with the side creatures of the series:
"Konjurer Variation"
"Drone Drop/Facehugger" Blast 5 (Feats: Indirect- From Above) [11]
"Tarkatan Variation"
"Tarkatan Blades" Strength-Damage +2 (Extras: Multiattack 8) (Feats: Split) (Inaccurate -1) [9]
