Tough duty: Alien Resurrection co-star Leland Orser says shooting the Sigourney Weaver-Winona Ryder science-fiction chiller was strenuous for all concerned. "We spent six weeks doing underwater training for a huge underwater sequence. We had to learn how to communicate and breathe underwater. But once we took our masks off for actual filming, we had to swim blind because there were pigs and cabbage and stuff in the water. It was a very scary situation. Everybody got injured at some point. I had my eye split open. But it was fun. I'm a guy, so I dig it.''
