Vintage 1986 ALIENS 70MM FILM CELL STRIP OF THREE FRAMES
VERY RARE. AUTHENTIC. GENUINE. VINTAGE.
Taken directly from a 70MM first run engagement print of ALIENS in 1986  while I was a theater manager at the time.
It has been stored in a dark, climate-controlled, odor-free, smoke-free environment for about 37-1/2 years.
The movie was the first sequel to the Ridley Scott film ALIEN, released in 1979.
ALIENS was released on July 14, 1986.
ALIENS stars SIGOURNEY WEAVER, MICHAEL BIEHN, PAUL REISER, BILL PAXTON, LANCE HENRIKSEN, and CARRIE HENN (as Newt) and was written and directed by JAMES CAMERON.
It went on to make over 0 million domestically during its theatrical release.
I was the manager at a movie theatre that played this movie during it's first run engagement in 1986 in the 70MM film format
Each 20 minute film reel required splicing into one continuous film. and when putting the reels together onto the platter system used in the projection room, it was necessary to use the splicer and remove frames from the ends to perfectly align them and put them together end to end using splicing tape.
This is one piece of such splicing.
This three-frame piece comes from a genuine, authentic, real 70MM print of the film ALIENS that was shown in the theatre I managed in Silicon Valley at the time.
This is a scene with Ripley and Newt as they face-off against the alien creature.
Measures 70mm wide × 70mm in length (height).
Made in the USA.
Condition: Used, Excellent, however please review the photos and continue reading the description to make your own decision as I am not a quality assessment expert.
There may be some surface scratches within the front and back of the film strip.
Intact sprocket holes on both sides of the film strip.
Magnetic brown audio strips on the outerside of the sprocket holes are in excellent condition.
There is some residue of the yellow splicing tape used to connect the ends of the film reels together on one side of the film strip at one of the ends.
Probably some aging but by the looks of it, there is very discoloration or oxidizing of this piece of 70MM film.
