10 Horror Movie Heroes Who Fell For The Same S**t In The Sequel

10. Ripley Doesn't Notice A Xenomorph Stowaway - Aliens

Ridley Scott's original Alien ends with Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) evacuating the Nostromo shortly before it self-destructs, seemingly killing the Xenomorph in the process.

But of course, Ripley then discovers that the alien creature has stowed away onboard the escape shuttle, forcing her to do battle with it once more, eventually jettisoning it from the ship and blowing it into deep space.

James Cameron's sequel Aliens saw Ripley fall for the very same gambit with the Xenomorph Queen. This time Ripley, Newt (Carrie Henn), Bishop (Lance Henriksen), and Hicks (Michael Biehn) escape the processing station on a dropship seconds before it explodes, evidently killing the Queen.

But history repeats itself, as once the heroes land back on the Sulaco, the Queen reveals that she stowed away in the dropship's landing gear, forcing Ripley to blow it out of the airlock with the help of an exosuit cargo loader.
