Alien³
1992
**
Director: David Fincher
Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Charles S. Dutton, Charles Dance, Paul McGann

Just when you thought all the aliens were killed, another egg turns up. Sigourney Weaver shaved her head in vain for the third part, which doesn't offer a single surprise, unless you consider a climax by the furnace to be one. David Fincher's feature debut was apparently taken out of his hands, but there is no evidence that this was ever going to be a follow-up to match the excellent Alien and Aliens. The story could work as an end to the series but it was followed by another turgid sequel, Alien Resurrection.
