This handy infographic will tell you everything you need to know about how to kill alien Xenomorphs. Remember, the Colonial Marines had a bunch of training. You? Not so much.
It details the guns you can use, weak spots and more. Study it. It just might save your life. This poster was designed by Ryan Brinkerhoff. We should all be prepared to face them.
This Alien-inspired motorcycle is beautifully designed, although I doubt very much that any future movies would call for the use of such a cool Alien bike. It was created by industrial designer Tamás Jakus. It is a customized black-on-black Yamaha SR with design cues inspired by H.R. Giger’s aliens.
I love all of the detail, which isn’t overdone. Everything is just perfect. The fuel tank is shaped like a Xenomorphs head and has a Weyland Corporation logo. Too bad it doesn’t exist in real life. Ripley could make good use of this sweet ride.

If you enjoyed David Fincher’s Alien 3, you’ll enjoy seeing some more behind the scenes footage of what went in to creating the special effects for the movie. The video below focuses on a baby Alien called the Bambi Burster. It reminds me just how much I love practical effects and I’m glad they seem to be making a comeback with the new Star Wars movie.
The “Bambi Burster” was cut from the film, but this video shows a test of the unfinished puppet. In this case it looks like they were having a hard time getting the movement down. It is awesome that these guys got to play with all of the cool toys back then.
Illustrator and cartoonist Ed Harrington has a great sense of humor. He created a funny and clever collection of IKEA assembly instructions that don’t make cabinets, but instead tell you how to make classic movie monsters like a Xenomorph from the Alien movies, Pinhead from Hellraiser and more.
You can find more on his Harrington’s Tumblr blog. Awesome stuff.
