fanboy.com— I couldn?t see Alien because i was an R rated movie and i was too young ? so what's funny about this commercial was that they had a toy for the film which was clearly aimed a kids.

Rated-R movies were so far outside my wheelhouse when I was a little kid that I had no idea what Alien even was. I remember seeing this commercial as a kid and thinking it was just some generic brand alien creature which they didn't even bother to give a cool name like "E.T." or "Spock".
This ad is interesting in a maybe unexpected way. As far as I know, "Alien (1979)" (that's also when the commercial supposedly aired) was rated "R". These two kids have likely never seen the movie and shouldn't really know anything of this creature. Even for the TV-14 rating of the later TV airing, these guys are a little young. They seem like 8 and 10 to me.

If this toy were made today it truly would be deadly because it would be made in China.

I love Aliens. Maybe it's b/c of my liking of Giger art...
