Although it may be difficult to believe, Alien 3 came out in theaters 25 years ago today, and to celebrate, Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis, the creative geniuses behind Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc., recently released fascinating behind-the-scenes videos from the making of the film.

You can watch both videos from studioADI below, and be sure to visit them online for more looks at their amazing effects work over the years.

"As the 25th Anniversary of ALIEN 3 approaches, we could not ignore our contribution to the film's title character: the Alien itself. Through the miracle of VHS and exclusive photographs, ADI takes you back to that year of hard work at Pinewood Studios. Enjoy the retrospective!"

"ALIEN 3 celebrates its 25th anniversary this month, and to celebrate we present this gem from deep within the VHS vault--footage from the prep and rehearsals of the Bishop puppet shoot complete with direction from David Fincher. Despite the aged quality of the video, it's still an interesting watch demonstrating the collaboration between director and effects crew on set."
