I've NEVER hated on Lambert. Veronica Cartwright has the uncanny ability to act absolutely scared out of her f'in mind in the most realistic way possible, which is how most people would react when confronted by this insanity. It's a fantastic performance.
Scott has confirmed that he doesn't - that's why he shoves the porno magazine down her throat. He would outright rape her, but he can't... god this movie is even more disturbing than I originally thought
I have never ever seen this scene... okay that is a tongue twister but no joke😮..wtf... I'm glad it didn't make its way into the movie cuz it just looks like a couple of silly women crying over nonsense
this was cut out, as it seem, in the end, it wasn't necessary..they're asleep most of the way each way, so its unlikely they had time for sex anyway, when they're awake, they worked.
😂😂😂 there's a deleted scene where ripley takes off her top and straddles dallas. additionally, when ash tries to choke ripley, he does so in front of a wall with hung pages from porn mags.... lots of sex I'm afraid. lol
She's starting to put it together already. I don't remember this being in the final cut of the film, so chronology is difficult, but I get a strong feeling this took place shortly after Ripley laid out her plan and told Parker to calm down and STFU. She lets out a brief, disbelieving chuckle when Ash says he and Mother are "still collating" and while it probably never occurred to anyone Ash wasn't even _human_ Ripley definitely knows something is... off with him by this point. She's a natural leader with good discretion so she doesn't tell Lambert why she's asking this seemingly random, even absurd question. The writing in this film is so incredible. The things the crew members say and do, their reactions, so authentic
In the Director’s cut version they had the scene, but they just showed Ripley and Lambert just staring at each other, and then Ripley just gets up and walks away. They don’t show the rest of the scene when they were talking.
The scene makes sense, because Ripley is having suspicions about Ash and if he might be an android or someone else planted on the ship by the corporation. Lambert and Ripley have both had sex with the men on the ship. Ripley never slept with Ash so she is asking Lambert to investigate the suspicions about Ash more.
this was cut off for a reason, and that maybe it doesn't add up, that they're all asleep anyway during the journey each way, and maybe only awake when they work, so sex probably isn't much of the priority.
Fun Fact: Originally, Ripley and Lambert were supposed to be lovers. But they weren't lesbians. But instead, pansexuals. As a matter of fact, all the crew members were supposed to sleep with each other. There's even a scene with Ripley having sex with Ash. But in the end, they took out all that stuff. Since the censors were probably going to cause them too much trouble.
and may not be pertinent for this kind of crew, they're asleep along the way anyway, and only awake during work..and go backk to sleep again...so sex may not be a priority.
I don't remember this part. Why was Ripley asking about if Ash ever sleeping with Lambert? Just because she was the only other female onboard? And she was beginning to think he was an android?
Veronica Cartwright is absolutely gorgeous and adorable as Lambert in Alien. A sexy and stunning european love song from the 70s thats always remind of her is Forever And Ever by Demis Roussos who is the greatest and the sexiest greek sex symbol ever.❤️
Oh, Meu Deus, eu daria tudo nesse mundo para jamais ter conhecido a Sigourney Weaver. Essa mulher é completamente louca e doente feito o próprio Dan Aykroyd também.
@Tales of A Lonely City Peter Jackson is another horrible nightmare in my life. He also doesn't let me in peace anymore. Peter is so monstruous and hideous than Sigourney Weaver and Dan Aykroyd togheter.
Eu pensava que a Sigourney Weaver fosse outra pessoa no cinema e na vida real também, mas infelizmente ela não é. Nunca foi e jamais será. Lamentável, mas é a realidade. Doa a quem doer.
Man ya'll buggin. Ripley"I've fucked every male up here except ASH" " Lambert:I haven't fucked him either. Ripley: Something is up, this dude dont want any pussy. Shit she probably slept with Lambert too.
Another scene that had to be removed. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the purpose of having a moment of empathy and understanding between the two female characters, but I feel it forced, and a “girl moment”. Ripley is a cold thinker. Feeling empathy all of the sudden only for Lambert, when Parker’s life is at risk too, is a little out of her character. And her question about her having sex with Ash was awful. The word sex isn’t mentioned once in the movie. They’re supposed to be professionals, not Rachel and Monica.
Ripley asked because she's suspicious that Ash is a synth. The line also implies that casual sex among the crewmembers is common given Lambert's relatively flippant response.
i agree, it seems a bit forced. they probably thought it would bring some sort of life/earthly familiarity or maybe even humanity to the movie but ultimately it didn’t give what it needed to. ripley is a tough character and keeping her that way for the whole movie is really what set the tone, and keeping all of the characters the way they were. it just worked out really well, like when ripley was yelling at parker about the ventilation systems.
I love so much Veronica Cartwright because she is most gorgeous and most feminine and also younger and sexier than Sigourney Weaver. Veronica is an extremely stunning and gracious classic and angelic european female beauty born in England with lovely and natural blonde hair and beautiful and sparkling blue eyes aswell. Another fascinating and mesmerizing famous and adorable blonde actresses from the entire world who i also love and admire so much are Farrah Fawcett, Carla Gravina, Faye Dunaway, Tanya Roberts, Cindy Pickett, Amanda Peterson, Lauren Holly, Teresa Gimpera, Kate Hansen, Elisabeth Gasper, Agyness Deyn and Taryn Power for example.
Well according to Scott he doesn't have a dick since he's a robot, but has a "human" libido (hence the scene where he metaphorically rapes Ripley with the porn magazine), so it's a valid question.
Always liked this scene. It illustrates that these guys lived in a world of isolation in space where one probably got physical comfort wherever one could find it. Sex in their world is pretty liberal and might be unusual for a crew member to abstain. It also shows that Ripley already suspected Ash was not just another crewmember but a corporate plant of some sort, reinforcing Dallas's comment that Ash was a recent replacement for a previous science officer.
Alien is a case study in world building and subtlety. I mean, just that we can infer that from this seemingly bonkers question (given the circumstances) is amazing, and I agree with your assessment there. These folks spend years, even decades away from home. Human nature will never change, so it's likely everyone is banging everyone else. Having worked in high-stress, coed environments professionally for years my experience is that this is exactly how it goes. In fact, you had to put a lot of effort into abstaining, much more than to give in to the debauchery. And most of these folks were married or in "serious relationships", quotations because apparently they weren't all that serious
This scene was probably cut because back in 1979, they were leery about hinting about two women who slept with their male comrades on board a spaceship. Nowadays, that wouldn't be a big deal... although Ripley would probably have asked both Lambert AND Parker if either of them had slept with Ash!
I mean nowadays doesn’t all suck balls. Yes the legions of adult children with skewed views of justice on social media is a problem but love is love, what the fuck is wrong with a guy liking a guy.
There’s an argument that it would be hard to maintain a relationship outside the crew though. After they lift off, Lambert mentions that it will take Nostromo 10 months to return to Earth. Earlier they say they are only half way to earth. Even if a lot of that is down to fuel used to divert to and from the planet, it still implies a one way trip taking up to 20 months and a return trip over 3 years! Dallas says he did 5 previous trips with a science officer before Ash which sounds low unless trips take a long time. It’s not quite forever war territory but still implied to be not great work life balance. None of the crew mention any loved ones off ship I think. That said, in Aliens they say it will take 17 days for help to arrive, and Ripley later says it will take her 6 weeks to reach ‘the frontier’. So timings for journeys seem to be all whatever the plot requires. Either way, as you say it’s a scene that was never going to make it.
Veronica Cartwright who played Lambert in Alien is a very gorgeous and extremely talented and adorable blonde-haired and blue-eyed english film actress who always remind me a lot of the blonde and statuesque and extremely splendorous and admirable english film actress and fashion model Agyness Deyn who played Aphrodite, the loveliest greek goddes of love, beauty, sexiness and carnal pleasure and desire in the last remake of the classic cinematic epic Clash Of The Titans.
@@LandersWorkshop That's my very own racial background, I get what you're saying and there's some truth to what you say, but I'm not convinced it's that and nothing more, but hey what do I know?
Awww, about time someone comforted Lambert a little bit. She may get a bit hysterical or aggressive, but you can tell she's just terrified off her socks and clearly needs a hug.
In her profile revealed in aliens it states she has a legit anxiety disorder and was born with both male and female reproductive organs or something. She's a mess tho. In the original script she literally died of fright while hiding in a locker. The alien was in the same room but didnt detect her. There's lots of crazy dark stuff in the original Alien movie that was written out of the script because it was too macabre.
Glad that this was not in the movie, even not in the extended version. This kills the tension between Ripley and Lambert, and makes Ripley the "favorite good" one that "deserves" to survive in the eyes of the audience. All the movie is about who is going to be killed next.
Eh, yes and no. Everyone deserved to survive honestly. Plus, this scene would have also humanized her character a lot more. Thankfully though, Aliens does this also.
@@APDaBaron Well, ask the director, genius. Maybe you think it is a good idea to insert a Kodak moment of the two women talking about having sex with their male workmates just after Dallas was killed and right before Ripley finds out they were just bait the company sent for the monster.
I think Lambert was born intersex, which means her reproductive organs were not exactly male or female. She had gender reassignment when she was born due to the intersex chromosomes.
It dosen't really matter because anyway Lambert always was most gorgeous and most feminine than Ripley as the same way Veronica Cartwright always was extremely most lovely and talented than Sigourney Weaver aswell.
Every character played their part very well. Veronica Cartwright's performance was exceptional. Every time I watch this movie, and seeing her expressions, always gets to me
@@heavymike3248 I think Veronica MIGHT have been able to pull off the Ripley role, but it would have meant working against type for her. In nearly every movie that she has been "featured" in, except for The Sound of Music, she falls apart at some point...she is a very good "every woman". Sigourney Weaver, On the other hand, starts out "ok" in this movie, but becomes stronger in each additional sequel. Ms Cartwright, had she had the lead, might have required a different type of character portrayal to keep the role of Ripley going for more than 1 movie.
@@howardkerr8174 Interesting comment. I heard that the producers initially offered Veronica both parts, Ripley & Lambert, and let her choose. After reading the script, she picked Lambert. It's crazy if you think about it: She was not interested in playing the protagonist & last survivor, but was fine with playing a side character who gets killed off before the end. Probably she thought Lambert was a more complex, more challenging part. And so the part of Ellen Ripley went to Sigourney Weaver. If Veronica had played Ripley, I don't know if there would've been any sequels. She's a terrific actress, but I don't see her carry a lead role in a franchise. Maybe she wouldn't even be interested in reprising her role, so this would be the only Alien movie we'd ever get to see.
Sigourney Weaver mágica única asombrosa. La mejor por siempre,!
Wait...that's REALLY fucking random...maybe what do you know about Ash would be a start but whoa!!!

I think Cartwright was excellent. The only thing I ever hated on Lambert for was not getting out of Parker's line of fire.
@@jacksonmyers3187 That was annoying, but she was completely frozen with fear. And unfortunately, she got Parker killed because of it.
And the hidden secret is...Lambert was a guy!
i really felt like they should have kissed in that scene
I don’t think Ash even has a reproductive system.
Scott has confirmed that he doesn't - that's why he shoves the porno magazine down her throat. He would outright rape her, but he can't... god this movie is even more disturbing than I originally thought
Seems way out of character. Ripley does not strike me as a person to waste time with such trivial questions in a moment of crisis.
