Alien Appendix #3: The Alien Archive (Released)
Time

I believe Alien appendix project is intended for video footage only. If there is an interest for CD-Rom compilation of printed promo materials and news articles a new thread should be opened so this one stays on track...

A few years ago UK's Channel 5 had a TV special "Greatest ever scary movies" with a video segment on Alien that topped#the list. Does anyone has that show (or any other in the series for that matter)? http://www2.five.tv/programmes/greatestevermovies/countdown/?list=2

I just got a documentary on visual futurist Syd Mead and there is a short segment on Aliens, with some sketches I've never seen before (actually, as it turnes out Mead designed a lot of stuff not just Sulaco). I'll have it uploaded for Jonno.

Has anyone located (or seen) the famous Reebok clip from Aliens or cocooned Burke scene?

Regarding Siskel & Ebert - if there are multiple copies of the same clip available, we should check for better quality.

I've uploaded my new Aliens stuff for Jonno to have it included on new Appendix DVD (feel free to download it if you can't wait for "official" release). Hopefully any of you out there who still haven't contributed with their footage will do so soon, so I can start working on next Appendix disc...

Okay, now is the time to list our footage individually so we can start figuring out who's got what and start making arrangements. Please confine your listings to the video footage only. This is what I have:

ALIENS:
- TV spot for Aliens (TV1000, 1 min). Advertised as the winner of 2 academy awards and it has graphics that mimic Aliens logo
- TV spot for Aliens (DirectTV, 30 seconds). With Sigourney filmed to match powerloader scene.
- Greatest ever 80's movies: Aliens #4 (Channel 5, 3 min). With new M. Biehn interview.
- Aliens: ride at the speed of fright - pre-ride & ride films (8 min)
- Alien war - 4 promo ads & newsreports: beyond 2000, hrt, bbc news (18 min)

ALIEN 3:
Pepsi promo ad Alien 3 (1 min)

ALIEN SAGA:
International tv special: dissected (22 min). Made to promote AVP2 but half of it features behind the scenes and interview segments on Alien 1-4.

I was wondering if there was any luck finding A2 reebok clip, HBO specials, A3 epk, A2 Movie Magic & Alien War documentary? There is also documentary called "VISUAL FUTURIST: The Art & Life of Syd Mead". Since Mead designed Sulaco this doc might feature some Aliens segments. Does anyone have it and is it worth the $30 + s&h purchase?

I already got eBay disc from virtualmedugorje (short but sweet footage) and there are a few other seller that just offer home video stuff. The one I mentioned supposedly has some newsreports. I have never watched any, I guess there wasn't much of a promotion...

PS I still haven't bought BTTF re-release with bonus Ride discs since I'm waiting for Blu-ray release (hopefully later this year)

Well, if the original producers of appendix DVDs have retired then I'm interested in producing the new DVD myself. Let's keep this moving fast - I'm not interested in compiling clips for a single DVD for years due to nonresponsive fans (like it happened with the last unreleased disc). This is beneficial to all of us Alien fans so every single second of unreleased material is appretiated. I intend to make full capacity DVD, so whoever has footage to contribute with, please list it here ASAP so we can start rolling...

Hey guys! RecentlyUK's  Channel 5 had a TV special "Greatest ever 80s movies" which listed Aliens at  #4. There was a 4 minute featurette on aliens featuring new interview with Michael Biehn. I have a copy of it. Also there is a BBC NEWS clip on youtube about Alien wars that ofer rare clips of original Alien war grand opening. BBC NEWS. Also there is a rumour of Alien saga being released on Blu-ray by the end of the year! I think that's enough news to get us back on track producing those great Alien supplemental discs...

Back to the Future: Ride + Leslie Nielsen documentary

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220327863662

1) BACK TO THE FUTURE - BEHIND THE SCENES WITH LESLIE NIELSEN (29:00 minutes)
This exclusive television special aired in 1989 and was hosted by Leslie Nielsen. He was filmed at the famous Clocktower set at Universal Studios Hollywood that has completely burned down in the recent fire. The special was used to promote Back to the Future Part II during "Back to the future event" on NBC  It's also the source of the infamous "hoverboards are real" urban legend that still haunts Mattel Inc. The footage was taken off master VHS tape (no broadcast logos) and is of excellent quality for such source.

2) BACK TO THE FUTURE - THE RIDE (11 minutes)

One of the best movie rides of all time! This DVD contains footage from Electronic press kits from Universal studios in California, Florida and Japan. If you ever saw any worldwide TV newsreports, this is where the raw footage was taken from (behind the scenes, interviews...). Sourced from proffesional broadcast BetacamSP masters and DVDs.

Hey guys! While we're trying to put our forces together and produce another Alien appendix, there is another great thing going on with Aliens. While we're still waiting for Alien war to re-open, Seoul in Korea is getting Aliens 3-D attraction!
