Line 33:
* ''[[Aliens vs. Predator]]'' is inconsistent with the lethality of Alien blood. A hunter's arm is seared off by a splash of facehugger blood, and another unfortunate human has his skull melted by a blast of Xenomorph blood to the face. However, the first film also presents it as mild enough to use for body scarification.
** This is actually a nod to the previous AVP fluff, where the Predators are said to have antacid blood that neutralizes the Aliens' acid blood. It will damages their skin but stops once it reaches their blood.
*** Still inconsistent, though. In the first AVP comic Broken Tusk gives the 'scarification' ritual to Machiko Noguchi -- who is a human being -- and yet doesn't melt through her forehead when he slaps on some Xenomorph blood, straight from the gore-dripping severed limb of a recently-dead Xenomorph.
* ''[[Richie Rich]]'', where Richie uses the acid (disguised as a tube of toothpaste) to help break Cadbury, his [[Battle Butler|butler]] out of jail.
* In ''[[Gremlins]]'' 2, there is a bit with a beaker of acid labeled "Acid: Do Not Throw In Face". One gremlin throws it in the face of another, who then assumes a ''[[Phantom of the Opera]]'' mask and cape.
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
g effects of this are shown in one particularly gory sequence appropriately know as [[Body Horror|"half-digested Billy".]]
* The 1985 B-grade horror flick ''Attack of the Beast Creatures'' features a whole ''river'' made of acid, which coincidentally looks exactly like normal water. When one person tries to cross it, his body gets dissolved until only the skeleton remains. It's never made clear how such a large body of highly corrosive acid came to exist, nor how the tropical rainforest on the river bank manages to prosper.
