Adam Savage Inspects The Original Colonial Marine Props From ALIENS

In a recent episode of Tested, Adam Savage checks out and inspects some of the original Colonial Marines props from director James Cameron’s classic film Aliens. I love the Colonial Marines in Aliens! It’s a crazy shame that we never really saw this military outfit explored further in the film franchise. They were so freakin’ badass! After i saw this movie when I was a kid, I walked out of the theaters wanting to be a Colonial Marine.

There's no better reference for a replica propmaker than getting up close and inspecting the original movie props, and Adam gets to meet several pieces of Colonial Marines armor and the iconic smartgun from James Cameron's Aliens! Details on these pieces reinforce Adam's own research from screenshots and behind-the-scenes photos, and there are parts of the armor that Adam has never noticed until seeing them in person!

It would be so cool to see and handle these props in real life!
