Sounds good on the surface but the edit of the alien in the corridor doung that squat move is part of the Ripley trying to blow the alien out the airlock the first time and was an unfinished sequence…

Basically this was a bodge up and it’s how she got her nosebleed before going into Mother… I am sure it would be good to see that cut but it probably is still censored and that part can’t be untangled probably.

Anyway the point is that there are good reasons for many alternate cuts most of the time they just don’t get done totally right though and the appetite from many a director simply is not there although Bladerunner Final cut is probably one of the best examples of where the appetite was there for it.

It is much better if the alternate cut is prepared and planned at the time… It can be difficult to go back to a film after a long period of time has transpired simply because the original creators and people who originally worked on it are not involved at a much later date of a decade or so.
