I love True Lies, I have done since it was released, and I probably always will. This is for the simple reason that it cracks me up and the action is great.

I am however surprised by how many people are piling in on the OP though. It’s obviously problematic by today’s standards, and it arguably was by the standards of the time. In particular, Harry terrifies and risks significantly humiliating his wife who is at no point fully consenting to what’s happening to her - it’s surprising how many people apparently can’t see that (plus it’s slightly depressing that I expect to be downvoted for saying this).

If you’re cool with watching it in spite of that then that’s fine, but don’t justify your enjoyment by pissing at people who may have legitimate issues with it.

Interesting thanks for the tip. Certainly in the collection I have they randomly change identities halfway through.

Alien 3 being better than Aliens is a brave take on here

Resurrection is total asswater as an Alien film. Everything about it is so tacky, silly and shit. It’s like nobody involved had watched an Alien movie. By a distance the worst of the series (including Prometheus and Covenant, not including the AVPs).

Amen re: the Dark Comics run. To me it’s still the definitive concept for a sequel (to Aliens, ignoring / disregarding Alien 3) that I’ve seen.

IIRC it did however do a weird thing where Hicks and Newt weren’t Hicks and Newt… until they suddenly were?
