1979: Ridley Scott directs "Alien".

1981: James Cameron works as a production designer on a Roger Corman "cash-in" of Alien called "Galaxy of Terror". It's mostly awful (mostly due to the giant maggot rape scene), but some of the production design is WAY better than anything in this movie has any right to be.

1986: James Cameron directs "Aliens".

I'm using the release years here as opposed to production for simplicity, but Aliens is really just a cash-in of a cash-in of Alien.
