Wow!

All DVD's should come with extras as exhausting as the ones in the new ALIEN QUADRILOGY box set. When ALIEN 3 first came out, I was disappointed with it. Later, as I was able to ween myself off of the expectations James Cameron's relentless ALIENS set up, it became a favorite of mine. This documentary goes to great lengths not to just dissect the movie, but also to show just what film studios typically put creative people through. We get interviews with Michael Biehn, detailing how upset he was at the killing off of his character. We get a look, in story boards, at an abandoned version of the film that was larger in scope. And we see some of the studio ineptitude that prevented the film from being all it could be. That David Fincher could nonetheless create a film as uncompromising as he did is a true testament to his talent. I loved this!

The Making of 'Alien³': Worse than the film itself, I didn't expect that

I didn't like Alien 3, in fact I'd say it's the worst one by a decent margin.

This feature length making of documentary fails on nearly every front. The interviews are minimal and quite frankly with the wrong people. There is very little on the sfx or making of stories and tales.

The entire thing in fact has very little content. I know that sound strange considering its hefty runtime but it drags, repeats itself and doesn't cover many of the essential things these types of documentaries generally do.

For the fans and the fans alone.

The Good:

Couple of interesting bits nestled away deep

The Bad:

So boring

Poorly constructed

Doesn't follow the tried & tested formula

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

The general vibe I got was they sabotaged it from the outset and knew it was going to fail

Quiz
Fox initially approved of this documentary, but based on feedback from some of their executives and the legal department, they eventually decided to edit over 30 minutes of material out of it. Charles de Lauzirika (the director) decided not to put his name on it since it was not what he had wanted to do, which was giving a brutally honest depiction of what had happened on set. He then changed his name to an alias, that of Fredrick Garvin. This name was that of a Il Saturday Night Live (1975) character, a male prostitute played by Dan Aykroyd. The uncensored version of the documentary was released 7 years later, with de Lauzirika credited by his proper name.

Citazioni
[after a crewmember delays a shot]
David Fincher: Great. We are being held captive by a moron.

Versioni alternative
Originally, this documentary, which was titled "Wreckage and Rape: The Making of 'Alien 3'", was to be more than 3 hours. 'Charles de Lauzirika' was forced to cut it down prior to the DVD release, as Fox felt it showed them in a negative light. In 2010, for the worldwide blu-ray releases, the original version of the documentary was released with a new title: "Wreckage & Rage: The Making of 'Alien 3'".
