Who copied whose design? "Split Second" against Marvel and Ridley Scott

[@polovky]

Xenomorph is probably the coolest and most breakthrough monster design ever, with Predator being close second.

Never even heard of that "Split Second" movie. Sound like I know what I'd be watching tonight ;-)

[@Hand-crankedCamera]

Ha! It was one of these under radar movies, fun late Friday night guilty pleasure film :D

[@andrewgale5196]

Always liked Split Second,would make a great double feature with Norrington's DEATH MACHINE

People need to know this channel

[@Hand-crankedCamera]

I hope one day it will make it out there, thank you for good wishes!

Always felt like there was some connection between these designs, and now it makes perfect sense.

[@Hand-crankedCamera]

Hard to not get influenced by such great design, same goes with any other art form: music, dance, painting, etc.

[@SynthaTron-v1w]

Split Second was classic 80s horror movie, excellent for Friday pizza night :D

[@darkscarecrowfxs.3205]

I'd say it was paying homage to the designs

[@MrRocketleg]

Alien was just something else, how can anyone sleep at night after watching that?!

[@Citrakite]

The answers tend to be disappointing like they put a modified biker helmet on because it was cheap and the black suit was a leftover intended to be the basis of a creature that never happened due to budget so they put some KY on him and he's shiny and slimy like a Xenomorph.

That design was already precisely an obviously contrived mash up of three popular designs at the time: the ALIEN, the Predator, and Robocop. Which is to say it didn't originate any of these design aesthetics at all. I actually did a special effects class in the 90s with the guy who worked on that film and Hellraiser. I didn't have the heart to tell him Split Second was rubbish.

[@Hand-crankedCamera]

I haven't thought about Robocop reference, you may be on to something with that motorcycle visor being connected to Robocop helmet design.

[@CaptainVKanth]

The music is quite distracting. Good video content though.

[@ozmoses2011]

This is not how any of this actually happened well a few things but not most of the design . They are teeth just teeth and many many many many artists have drawn and used the same evil looking teeth there is absolutely nothing being ripped off at all heck theres not even any similarities at all !!
