'Oatmeal' comment ripped off from 'Aliens' (1986)


It struck me that when McShane says to his comrades (after Statham's dining hall outburst) that-

"I guess he didn't like the oatmeal either?"

This line was lifted almost exactly from Cameron's Aliens after a similar dining hall outburst (between Ripley and Bishop). One of the soldiers (Frost) says to the team-

"I guess she didn't like the Cornbread either?"

Not a rip-off, more an homage.🐭
