The entire cast of Aliens celebrating Al Mathews birthday after a difficult day of shooting. Mathews said of this moment- "My fondest memory on Aliens was this: We were trying to get my whole squad into the APC as quickly as possible. Man, we must have done ten takes, on the very last take, we got it right. Once we were all in, in a military manner, we had the take in the can. Suddenly the door opened and I shouted, ‘What the fuck is going on?’ I was tired and I knew the opening of the door would screw the sound and we would have to go again. I turned towards the door with smoke coming from my nostrils. There was Miss Weaver holding the biggest birthday cake I had ever seen in my life, and wearing the warmest smile ever! The whole cast and crew knew it was my birthday, and they were all in on it. I was so embarrassed, I broke down and cried. There was Sgt. Apone, bawling like a baby.”
