Alien
"The other, um, sci-fi film I'm known for is a film that Ridley Scott did on the Alien, and I was brought in to play the Alien. Um, the original person pulled out right at the very beginning, didn't want to know about it, so I took over. And, um, I said to the producer three-quarters of the way through the film that, uh, I hope I'm going to get the main credit for this. [...] I just got it for the action for the Alien, which really upset me." ―Powell in the 1995 documentary Dalekmania When it was still planned to have the Alien costume be transparent, Powell donned one of the prototype costumes. Plaster casts of Powell were also made, presumably to construct a costume that fit him. For Powell (and main Alien actor Bolaji Badejo), putting on the Alien costume was a "terrible ordeal", taking at least an hour to get ready. Additionally, Powell couldn't "see a thing" once inside the suit. Powell portrayed the Alien during Brett (Harry Dean Stanton)'s death scene. Wearing a steel wire rig, Powell was strung up above the Nostromo's landing gear. Scenes filmed with Powell included him being curled up, dangling above Brett and then slowly unfolding himself in a "Christ-like" fashion, close-ups of the Alien "admiring" and then attacking Brett and close-ups of the Alien's head. Director Ridley Scott made the scene be reshot numerous times until he was satisfied with the results, making Powell have to endure being hung upside down constantly and quickly hoisted up into the air. In addition to Brett's death scenes, Powell portrayed the Alien when it attacked Dallas inside the ship's air ducts, as Badejo was too large to fit in the ducts, and in the scene where it is finally incinerated in the Narcissus' engines. Although the "Christ-like" shots of Powell in the Alien costume were cut from the 1979 theatrical release of the film, one of them was reinstated in the 2003 Director's Cut and the rest made it as extra footage on the Alien Quadrilogy box set. As Scott only wanted to show glimpses of the Alien, the additional close-ups of the Alien were also cut from the theatrical release.
