The Ultimate Badass vs. The Klingon

Private Hudson, United States Colonial Marine Corps Commander Worf, Starfleet
Synopsis: Synopsis:
From:
http://cse.unl.edu/~jraises/aliens/hudson.htm

Bad to the bone, and definitely the ultimate badass,
Hudson is the driving force of Aliens. From the beginning
to the bitter and unforgiving end, he brings on the power
and strength of the Marines, cocky as hell . . .

The magnitude of this man causes us to unconsciously use
his quotes daily and wish that one day, we too could be
blowing away Aliens in a battle to the death, if only to yell
"Die you mutha fuka!" just one more time.

The fate of this most awesome Marine will forever burn in all
of our hearts... to see his powerful figure be taken cowardly
by an Alien from underneath...the determination in his eyes...
unwilling to give up in the face of death.

Why, why is it that the strong are punished so?

Somewhere, in all of us, Hudson lives on. Blasting the
shit out of Aliens, always fucking around, and
complaining like hell about everything.
Despite being raised by human parents, Worf
epotomizes the essence of the Klingon Warrior.

Honorable, and well-versed in the traditional Klingon
weapons, Worf is truly a warrior.

The coolness of this man causes us to wish
we could run around hacking people to death
with those wicked-looking bat'leth's. :-)

"We're on the express elevator to hell - going down!"

"I am the ultimate badass.. state of the badass art!
You do not wanna fuck with me! Check it out!
Hey, Ripley, don't worry, me and my squad of
ultimate badasses will protect ya.
Check it out, independently targetting particle-beam
phalanx. VWAP! Fry half a city with this puppy.
We got tactical smart-missles, phased-plasma
pulse-rifles, RPG's. We got sonic-electronic
ballbreakers!!! We got nukes, we got knives...
sharp sticks..."


GORMAN: "Hicks, meet me at the south
lock. We're coming in."


[sarcastically] "He's coming in. I feel safer already."


The survivors are in the APC, discussing what
to do.

"Let's bug out and call it even.Why even talk about it?"

RIPLEY: "I say we take off and nuke the entire
site from orbit.

[Pause]

RIPLEY: "It's the only way to be sure."

"Fucking A!"


Burke says that they can't nuke the site.

"Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events,
but we just got our asses kicked, pal!"


The dropship crashes.

"Well, that's great. That's just fuckin' great, man.
Now what the fuck are we supposed to do?"

"We're in some real pretty shit now, man!"

HICKS: "Are you finished?"

Newt says they should get inside soon, for it'll be
night soon, and the Aliens come out at night...mostly.

"That's it man."

"Game over, man! Game over!
What the fuck are we gonna do now?"


The survivors are discussing how long till they
can expect a rescue.

HICKS: "Seventeen days."

"Seventeen days?"

"Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade,
but we're not gonna last seventeen hours.

"Those things are gonna come here like they did
before, and -"

RIPLEY: "Hudson! Hudson!"
"This little girl survived longer than that with no
weapons and no training."

Newt then smartly salutes.

"Why don't you put her in charge?"


"Oh, man, I was getting short.
Four more weeks and out.
Now I'm gonna buy it on this rock."

VASQUEZ: "Give us a break!"

"Four more weeks. Oh, man."


Power to the colony complex where the Marines are
holed up suddenly cuts off.


RIPLEY: "They cut the power."

"What do you mean "they" cut the power?
They're animals!"

"Klingons never bluff."

LOCUTUS: "...All will become one with the Borg."

'The Klingon Empire will NEVER yield!"

LOCUTUS: "Why do you resist? We only wish to
improve quality of life for all species."


"grrr...I like my SPECIES the way it IS."


Q: "What do I have to do to prove it to you?"

"Die"

Q: "Oh, very good Mr Worf. Eat any good books
lately?"


"Human women are too fragile."


"Kahless will bring honor back to the Klingon
Empire, many will follow him, I am one of them."


"What is a 'Q'?"


"Prune Juice? A warrior's drink!"


"The honor is to serve"


"A man's tongue cannot be loosened by root beer."



War Cry: War Cry:
"There they go! Get them!"

"Look out! Look Out! Look Out!"

"Die, you bastards! Die, motherfucker!"

HICKS: "Hudson!"

"Motherfucker! Come On! Come On!
Come and get it, baby!"

"I don't got all day!
Come on, you bastard!"

"Come on! You, too!
You want some of this? Fuck you!"

Aliens bust through the floor and grab Hudson.

"Aah! Fuck You!"

Hudson points his gun at the Aliens pulling him below and
fires repeatedly.

"Hicks!"

HICKS: "Hudson!"

Hudson screams as the Aliens pull him below, their claws
grasping his face.
"Assimilate this!"

GRUNT!

Memorable Achievements: Memorable Achievements:
  • Managed to blow away approximately one shitload of Aliens before being taken down.

  • He's quotable.
  • He's the ultimate badass :-)

  • Managed to survive the first encounter with the Aliens.
    (no easy feat, considering the fact that he had
    nothing of importance to defend himself with,
    due to Gorman's orders to go flame units only.
    This is important due to the fact that Xenomorphs
    move like
    hell, and can rip androids in half with
    their bare hands.)

  • Can shoot a Pulse rifle from the hip and hit fast moving
    targets reliably, even on full auto.

  • Can reliably kill aliens who want to capture you to use
    you as an incubator for their young.
  • Has managed to kick the asses of most people
    who cross him.

  • Was married to the resident DS9 hottie. :-)

  • Slayed the killer of his child's mother in ritual
    combat.
  • He's the only one in modern Trek who
    (usually) wants to shoot first and ask
    questions later.

  • Is extremely proficient in the use of ceremonial
    Klingon weapons, such as the bat'leh.
  • Can reliably kill aliens who want to capture
    you to turn you into one of them.


Now that you're done reading the strengths of our two contenders, It's time to VOTE!

The voting is over as of 9/29/99.

Hudson (5 votes) mows Worf (3 votes) down in a hail of
10mm caseless (that strangely enough, *has* cases :)

Some memorable quotes from our voters:


Very nice.
One thing I want to point out though: the reason Hudson survived the
first meeting with the aliens but not the second was because the
second time he had a weapon. It's a cinematic law that if you give
Bill Paxton a weapon he will die. The only way he can save himself is
to disarm or get rid of it.

Movie Weapon Cause of Death
Terminator: Knife: punched through the chest
Aliens: Big-@## gun: dragged off and impregnated
Tombstone:Six shooter: becoming a marshal
Predator 2: Pistol: Heart cut in two with a really big weapon
Navy Seals: Sniper rifle: shot or fell, but he did die

Where he survived:
Twister No weapon to fight the tornado
True Lies: Ditches his gun, Schwartzenegger decides not to kill him
Apollo 13: Luckily, no sharp objects on board
Titanic: Had a cigar, which is dangerous only in Clinton's hands
Weird Science: Acts like a jerk, turned into a frog, but lived

Hudson's mistake was in not throwing down his gun; then he would have
stood a chance.

Worf, sorry but he is still alive, still kicking ass, and a lot more
fun than Hudson (he is NOT the ultimate badass)

Vegard Valberg


(I vote for Hudson),

Jonathan Boyd


I vote for Hudson!

LordShaithis


I'd say Private Hudson teaches Worf what warfare is really like.

Michael O'Shea


Hiya,

Hmm...upon seeing the special ed. Aliens release on DVD, and
everything you quoted for Hudson, I had to give him more credit
than I originally had. (I'd always just remembered him for whining
and the "game over, man!" stuff.) So it's a closer call than it would've
been, but I have to go with Worf...

Sean W Roberts


Badass vs Worf: Badass wins.

I'm voting for the Badass :)

Rob Dalton


Worf would win

You picked the wrong Marine. Hicks, man, Corporal Hicks. He
*survived*. He *led*. He *nuked*. :-)

Marines over Worf, still.
