Movie/TV Trivia
The androids in Alien are alphabetised
Have you ever noticed this fun fact about the Alien franchise? All of the monsters in the movie have been alphabetised, just to keep things nice and orderly amid stall of the terrifying extraterrestrial mayhem. Each installment of the movie adds in another android and so far their names have appeared in alphabetical order.
The creatures are named as follows: Ash, Bishop,Call, and, most recently, David in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.
Did you know that in the first Alien film, the creature is never filmed looking directly at the camera?
This is because Ridley Scott wanted to avoid showing the alien’s humanoid features and dispel any notions of a man wearing a rubber suit. Instead he insisted on shooting the beast at various close-up angles.
But if you watch the 1979 film back, viewers never see the monster in all of its entirety, and definitely not from the front.
