Small Clanger got my choice. Upside-down-human-head-spider-leg-Thing creeps the everlovin’ shit out of me every time I see it.
Hey, he looks like Obelix.
I’ve always thought the choices for the Predator alien were…let’s say “interesting.” Rasta-like locks and a mouth which was, to be polite, something from a freudian nightmare.
Not to mention they were supposed to be the *perfect * being. All those years of evolution, and Nature comes up with a giant bell. :smack:
And I loved the movie.
Too many of the aliens presented to us are simply reworked humanoid(ish) figures, or some other erect biped. The Thing (both versions) had the right idea, and the Kurt Russle version actually was able to show us. Flat out weird.
I would like to see some of Doglas Adams’ ideas come to life. No, not the things we saw in the movie or BBCTV show. I mean something like a Hooloovoo, a superintelligent shade of the colour blue. Stuff like that.
Sure, in the past, we had to put guys in rubber suits, or use puppets, or stop motion cinematography. But now, with ever advancing CGI, we should be able to get some of the neglected aliens from written fiction. I would even settle for seeing the different classes of Moties or a Puppeteer.
I meant to make a followup post saying that I had a picture of their father, not Wak but my connection kept timing out. Wak’s picture can be found on Robert Picardo’s website.
The Mondoshawans are not the perfect being, they are simply its guardians.They retrieve the Fifth Element, i.e. the perfect being, from the pyramid during the movie’s opening scene.
But a piece of them is used to create the perfect being?
Or so I understood?
As I also understood, I thought it was a piece of them as well.
*no0b question how to make the spoiler box?
:smack: I meant to just leave “As I also understood.”

The beach ball with feet from Dark Star.
I missed a part and caught it again when
It looked like a part of a Mondoshawan was in the glass and they where discussing how perfect the DNA was before they started building the fifth element
Or did I miss something?
P.S. Thanks for the help it was appreciated!
Yes now that is what I define as a wierd alien!
Lost Goals Re The Fifth Element
When they take the Super Being, it looks like a screaming statue. When the army uses the DNA from a Mondochuwan hand to reconstruct that person, they end up with Mila Jojovich. IMHO, this means that Mila, or at least her DNA were stored in the statue taken from the pyramid. Much like Han Solo in carbonite, she was safely stored for later revival. The Monduchuwans do this before leaving their planet, and disguise her as one of them. Remember that they also send an empty chest as a decoy and hide the stones in the body of diva Plavalaguna. So, the Fifth Element was never Monduchuwan. She was simply wearing armor to look like one. Considering a few other things about them, I wonder whether the Mondochuwans all wear armor and have a true appearance entirely different from the brass bell thingies, or if they are actually artificial beings. The Mondochuwans seen at the pyramid appear to have an exterior of actual metal. One uses a key which is connected to his finger and can retract into it.
[spolier]Jeez, I always thought the Mondoshawans were wearing their equivalent of space suits or armored exoskeletons.[/spoiler]
Not in a movie (yet), but the critters of Species 8472 in *Star Trek: Voyager * are pretty weird and interesting-looking.
Maybe some helpful Doper can provide a good link or two?
