ALIENS (1986) - Private Hudson's (Bill Paxton) Dog Tags
Private Hudson’s (Bill Paxton) dog tags and a set of publicity stills from James Cameron’s sci-fi action sequel Aliens. Hudson wore his dog tags throughout the film, most visibly during his awakening from hypersleep on the USS Sulaco.

Made from clear acrylic, both tags hang from a metal ball-chain necklace and are printed with “Pt. W. HUDSON” and “A08/TQ1.041776E3”. The four black-and-white photographs are individually numbered and feature the title “Twentieth Century Fox Presents ALIENS”, with cast and character names and scene descriptions. They depict the Marine briefing scene, and Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) strategising with Hudson and Hicks (Michael Biehn) on the planet LV-426. A portrait of a flamethrower-toting Ripley in the Xenomorph hive and a full cast shot complete the set. Distressed for production, Hudson’s dog tags feature some wear and scratching. The glossy photographs remain unbent and unmarked. Dimensions (dog tags): 4.7 cm x 2.8 cm x 0.01 cm (2” x 1 ¼” x ¼”); (dog tags on chain): 37.5 cm x 2.8 cm x 0.01 cm (14 ¾” x 1 ¼” x ¼”); (photographs): 25.5 cm x 20 cm x 0.02 cm (10” x 7 ¾” x ¼”)
