It’s what movie are you watching, regardless of when the movie was made such as:
I never liked the Special Edition, because the story is better for the audience not knowing in advance what happened to the colonists on LV-426, just let the tension build, until… I can still remember the first time I watched this at the theater, they run a bypass, the facility door slides open and omg. Soon after that, the motion sensor always produced an adverse psychological effect whenever I hear it. . Number one most stupid decision, that made me say oh hell, flame units only, time to buckle up. : D
A: Based on the Collectors Version of Aliens on Laserdisc, which comes
with a disk that shows some of the secrets of the making of the movie,
the loader is part real, part fake. The actual loader is real, but
has an external power supply. Since the loader is extremely heavy, it
is supported by cables which are masked out for the final print.
A power loader was on display at the Boston Museum of Science as
part of a special effects exhibit. This power loader was worked by a
person inside, behind and below the actor, that is with their legs down
in the power-loader's legs and their torso in the power-loader's back.
Different constructs of the power loader were used depending on the
action it had to perform in front of the camera.
