I don't know if this has been done before, but, here goes ... I'm going to write brief narratives and dialogues based on the alien Quadrilogy, (theatrical versions) and we'll see What you Riffers can do with them ... Beware ... we might, I repeat, we might, jump back and forth between all four movies, (as well as AVP) ... ALIEN ...  The opening title sequence begins as we pan across a planet in space and then we see the Nostromo hovering through space towards the camera ... ... Insert your Riffs here and now ... |

"These are the voyages of the refinery vessel Nostromo, boldly going where no space bums have gone before."
We are now inside the Nostromo as the camera dollies through its maze of corridors. We come to where the crew of the vessel has been placed in hibernation. The door opens and the hibernation units open. One by one, each of the crew start to wake up and come alive ...

"Here at Perdue we feed our chickens only the best. You are guaranteed that our frozen chickens are of the highest quality."
We are now in the mess hall where the crew is smoking and drinking coffee. Dallas finds out that Mother, the ship's computer, wants to speak with him ...

It kinda helps to be able to see a movie when you're trying to riff it. Just going on visual descriptions doesn't really cut it.

That depends on one's familiarity with a film.

"Mother can you hear me, can you feel me near you?"
Dallas goes into the computer chamber and types his password into the keyboard. A bit later the crew is gathered together, they are told the ship woke them up prematurely because it encountered a distress signal and that they must go and investigate the source of the signal or lose their wages. They land on the planet and leave their ship and begin walking across the landscape toward the source of the strange signal.

"Remember where we parked the ship."
Three of the crew find an alien derelict of a craft and go inside it. They find what seems to be the ship's pilot who seems to be growing out of the chair. And, there's a hole in his chest.

"Dear Wife, you were right, things didn't turn out so good, what with me always being stuck to my work. I'm sending you my heart via space-post, think of me whenever you chew on it."
One of the three crew members decends into the depths of the alien space craft and comes across what seems to be large leathery eggs. He approaches one and it starts to glow and move within. The top of the egg opens and something leaps out, attaching itself to his face!

"Kiss me, you fool ... "
The crewman with the alien attached to his face is brought back to the ship. He is brought to medical and placed on a table where his body is scanned and studied. They attempt to cut the creature but it bleeds acid that might eat through the hull. Eventually, the thing falls off by itself and they take off for the mother ship and head on back home, intending to go back into the freezers. The crewman who had the creature attached to his face wakes up, and they all have dinner. While at the table he starts to convulse and a different kind of alien bursts out of his chest!

In no relation to this continuing saga of riffing the alien film, I found a cool alien site where you can download fan films for free. www.probotproductions.com/alien5squared.htmlClikc on the link and prepare to be amazed .... |

LOL ... that was unexpected ...
Thanks, Tony. I was really hoping someone else would grab this particular bit and run with it, being as I had no idea what to do. You came through. For those who don't get the joke, see Mel Brook's "Space Balls", wherein John Hurt reprises his Alien Chestbursting Scene and the creature sings a vaudeville song while dancing. Bravo, Tony.
And we move on ...
The small alien creature runs across the tabletop and out the door to the shocked astonishment of the crew. The crew disposes of the dead crewman's body by blasting it into the depths of space. No one has any final words to say concerning their co-worker.

See ya later, alligator!
The crew begins to search for the alien creature that is loose on the ship. Several crew members find the cat, Jonesy, hiding inside a locker. The animal is frightened and hisses at them!

"Don't you ever knock?"
The cat is allowed to escape. One of the crew is sent to capture the feline so it won't appear on the motion detectors again and confuse the situation yet another time. The crew member goes off to find the cat only to run into a fully grown alien! It attacks him and kills him!

"Hey, I thought I told you, no eating on the job!"
The crew has figured out by now that the alien has grown up, and is HUGE! They go in search of the creature, venturing into the air ducts. Dallas, the ship's captain, is talking by the creature and presumably killed. Ripley consults the ship's computer, Mother, and finds out the science-officer's hidden mission, to bring back the alien life-form at all cost, crew expendable. During a physical conflict with the science-officer it is revealed that he is an android, when one of the crew literally knocks off his head.
