When he accidentally knocks the ball down the drain, he asks Molly who is nearby, to reach it with her smaller hands. In the original script, Dale and his friends are playing stickball in the street. Molly’s Encounter (Source: Original Script) Ricky doesn’t like the fact he did and Dallas explains he doesn’t want him to turn out like him. Dallas covered for him and he served three years in prison for it. Following Ricky’s suspension from school, Dallas drives him home and it is revealed that he was sent to prison because of a crime that Ricky did. The reason as to why Dallas was imprisoned is left ambiguous in the film but the original script reveals a bit more. The teacher is credited in the cast list and our interview with creative consultant, Liam O’Donnell, confirmed the scene was indeed filmed. The scene in the classroom was definitely filmed. This scene at school is intercut with the Wolf Predator in the sewers and Sheriff Morales finding Ray’s skinned body in the woods. A bit later, Dallas walks out of the office and the Principal tells Ricky that he’s suspended for a week and if it happens again, he’ll be expelled. Mr Thomas breaks up the fight and sends Ricky to the Principal’s Office. Dale begins to tease Ricky about his pizza job and Ricky turns around and punches Dale. There is a scene at school with Ricky, Jesse and Dale which takes place in a biology class with Mr Thomas giving a talk about ‘Survival of the Fittest’ and natural selection. He says nature decides what lives and what dies based on their ability to adapt to their changing environment. Survival of the Fittest (Source: Original Script, Liam O’Donnell Interview, Cast Credits) On the ground, littered beneath these slain extraterrestrial hunters, are battle helmets and other weapons lost in their fight…” Both sets of feet are encrusted in Alien hive resin as glowing Predator blood covers their massive horn-rimmed skeletons. It seems that the infamous Predator ritual has been visited upon two of its own species. “In the crashed spaceship, the Predator looks up and sees two slain comrades hanging upside down, their bodies completely skinned. This scene is also on a trading card with this description: As a compromise, this scene was shot where the Predalien had skinned the Predators on the ship and hung them with alien resin. You can sort of see this a bit later when the Predalien rips the spine out of the chef – a classic Predator trait. The story behind this is that Fox wanted the Predalien to take on more Predator traits which included using a cloak and Predator weapons. You get a much clearer look at them in a behind-the-scenes featurette and they also feature on one of the AvP Requiem trading cards from Inkworks. When the Wolf Predator analyses the crashed Scout Ship, there are actually skinned hanging Predator bodies in the background. Skinned Predators (Source: Behind-The-Scenes Feature, Trading Card, Liam O’Donnell Interview) We’re not sure how much of this was actually filmed but the Truck Driver was credited in the cast list. Darcy, Buddy’s wife, asks for the Sheriff to organise a search now but he says it’s too dark and too dangerous to do so. A town members suggests calling in the FBI to help but Morales says that it’s not in their jurisdiction and they have the resources to deal with it themselves. Morales tells them that Dallas was with him the time Buddy Benson had disappeared. Sheriff Morales talks to the crowd and somebody suggest Dallas, being an ex-convict, had something to do with their disappearance. They go to the gym and the whole town must be in attendance. Terry informs them of a town meeting taking place at the school gym to discuss the disappearance of Buddy Benson and his son. Town Meeting (Source: Original Script, Credits)Īfter Dallas and Ricky emerge from the sewers, they almost get hit by a trucker named Terry who happens to be an old acquaintance of Dallas’s. A Chestburster was to be showing emerging from a sheep dog in front of the survivors but was quickly gunned down. The dog-burster did actually feature in the original script but in a later scene. This idea was dropped for budget reasons as it would have meant creating a whole new Xenomorph design for the film. When the Predalien attacks the homeless people in the sewer, Harry’s dog Butch was going to be impregnated with a Chestburster. Dog-Burster (Source: Liam O’Donnell Interview)
