Survive Alien: Resurrection
Batman (Bale), John McClane, Ash Williams, Dutch, and Lara Croft are all somehow transported to the ship from Alien: Resurrection. They have to survive, and make sure the Aliens don't reach Earth. There are no soldiers on the ship, and the mercenaries and Ripley 8 are also not there, but the team has basic knowledge on the Aliens. Can they do it?
Standard equipment for all.
Batman: Has armour but doubtful whether that would stop the acid blood, plus he'd be slow in the armour. He has no weapons either and his cape is practically useless on a tight, cramped ship. Plus would he even make it through the underwater section in either (BB or TDK) suit? Don't think so.
John McClane: Doubtful, his standard equipment are Berettas (Vasquez and Gorman had to get real close for their pistols to be effective in A2) and even though Ripley took a lot of them on in just a vest its pushing it even for McClane. If he had his MP5 maybe, but he has to avoid the acid blood with his lack of armour.
Ash Williams: Heh, even though he is unquestionably awesome, once he runs out of shotgun shells he really isn't getting anywhere with that chainsaw/hand, unless he wants an acid shower. And a shotgun hit in a confined space could be lethal if the acid showers badly.
Lara Croft: Again pistols not really going to help her here but her agility could get her out of a few scrapes. She might get far but eventually stopped with her lack of fire power.
Dutch: He would definitely make it I feel, awesome assault rifle with grenade launcher would clear a path through (although he'd have to be careful with the grenade launcher though).
All in all, I think Dutch and McClane make it with possibly Lara Croft bringing up the rear, I just think her agility might get her out of a lot.
IIRC Aliens are bullet resistant so I'm not sure how useful normal handguns are going to be. That said, they don't have to kill the Aliens, the team just has to activate the ship's self-destruct, and make it to the Betty (the merc's ship). Or they could do what they did in the movie, and crash it into the planet.

But they needed the android to crash it in the movie... maybe prep some grenades in the engine room (not sure the movie even showed the engine room) or something but then they have to get to the Betty/escape pods and if there are no soldiers on board then the Aliens will have zero distraction and will go straight for the team.

Good point, let's assume they have Winona Ryder's character as part of the team. There were almost no soldiers left on the ship anyway, they were slaughtered pretty quickly.

What shotgun shells?
seems to be a magical shotgun to me.

The Xenomorphs stomp!The pirates survived because Ripley could hear them talk. She even fought two in the water while they made a necessary dive into water.
The script was much better.
I don't remember her taking on any xeno's in the water...all she got was a face hugger to the face which she managed to get off

Even better, have her in a safe part of the ship and they have to break her out and protect her. If some of the team get chopped down the others have to make sure she at least gets to the church where she 'patched in'.
Aye, the soldiers didn't last but they were practically running away and got caught when they all went for the escape pods.

That might have helped but aside from the lone alien which got the leader they only encountered resistance (as a team) at and after the water scene, but like I said thats probably because they (the aliens) went after the fleeing soldiers.

Yeah she killed two of em. Broke there necks. The director was such a douche he took it out.
So, it's not in the movie? Ripley 8 may be super-human, but killing Aliens with her bare hands is stupid.
I think the team can win if they play it smart. They can stealth their way, set the self-destruct, and make it to the Betty. If they run into Xenos Dutch is going to have to provide the majority of the firepower with the others backing him up.

I don't think it's that far fetched... her strength was greatly improved as she was punching dents into the metallic walls of her cell. Not to mention she took a thick metal pole (or weights?) to the face in the gym, and just blinked.
The Aliens wouldn't kill her anyway because of her connection to the Queen so she would have the upper hand, thus making it easier.
