"Game over, man! Game over!" is one of the many lines in the movie when Bill Paxton went off script and improvised. Also "Why don't you put her in charge?"
"Get away from her you BITCH!" is one of the greatest moments and lines in movie history. And Newt calling Ripley "Mommy" at the end always gets me right in the feels. Stunning film.
Not to mention that one of the greatest burns in the history of cinema is in this too: "Hey, Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?" "No. Have you?" But yeah, when she donned that mech loader and said that line the whole theater went NUTS. It was right up there with Captain America wielding Thor's hammer in Avengers Endgame. Awesome.
@@davidward9737 I wish I could go back in time to 1986 and experience this movie for the first time all over again, or failing that, to sit behind my teenage self and watch the reaction. Ah, good times.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere i was watching this at 6 years old when it came out. Just blew my mind and has stuck with me ever since, it even has incorporated some aspects in my life. Some of the most quotable lines.
He was only shown being thrown against the chainlink fence by the Terminator. No body, no death. And since he was dragged away by Aliens, he was more likely killed by the explosion at the end than the Aliens, since the incubation period wasn't reached by then. So, only the Predator.
One of my favorite pieces of trivia about this movie is that Paul Reiner’s (Burke’s) mother attended the premier and when Burke was killed, she cheered! Nice, Mom.
For all of the terrific action sequences here, my favorite moment is the face-off between the Alien Queen and Ripley. The silent negotiation of “If you let us leave, I’ll leave you and yours alone,” back up out of there, then the egg opens, telling Ripley that the Queen is reneging on the deal, that head tilt of “Are you f-king kidding me? Really? Ok, your funeral,” and she torches the eggs.
Agree to the egg sensing hosts nearby. Ripley realized there was no hope of getting out alive and "getting to the Choppa" so she opened up all guns blazing, to clear the path.
I'm glad someone else notices that. Yes, it was a great "mother to mother" moment. It DOES happen in nature. Rarely, but it does happen. It's also been quite the debate if the queen alien tried to trick Ripley or 'renege on the deal.' I'll by official source material which you can also see hints within this movie. Like the queens of many nests, the workers _can_ understand intents of the queen. Also, since the eggs are designed to stay in status for up to a thousand years, then the egg was waiting. So yes, the alien queen though she'd get the jump on Ripley. Stupid thing to do. However, that's the nature of that species. They're not "peaceful." They're not "misunderstood. They're predators.
@@cpete2976 Why just that one, though? The queen obviously controls the hive, it wouldn't surprise me if she could command the eggs. Plus, I like interpreting Ripley's head tilt towards it as "Okay, time to find out" before she torches the eggs.

Maybe the best female lead action hero portrayal in film. Not because she has ridiculous super-human abilities, but because she’s human, she steps up, and she is a mom.
So true. I wish modern writers could create great leading ladies like Ripley. But now all we get is perfect flawless women who are never challenged, never do anything wrong, and never need to learn anything or endure a hero's journey; they just do it all perfectly from the start. Boring. I'd prefer to watch this move over and over rather than see one more Rey or Captain Marvel, just to name 2 extremely badly written characters.
@@jaytrace1006 Me too! You know when she auditioned for this part, she didn't know it was about space aliens. She thought it was about immigrants. Also, did you like her as much in Terminator 2?
This remains my favorite movie of all time, in all genres. The way it just keeps ramping up the tension, the pacing is nearly flawless. Ripley is one of the great heroines in action cinema. So glad you enjoyed it!
Saw this at the drive-in when I was 11 or 12. Immediately became my favourite movie. And no movie has beaten it yet. Apart from a couple of drop ship model scenes and a few obvious inserted backgrounds the effects (especially creature effects) don't just still stand up today, they still look better than most films today. I still think CGI Aliens take away all the menace of them. The Queen alien is still the best looking creature effect I've ever seen.
'She looks like the thing from Rick and Morty when the dog goes in it.' My favorite thing about watching first time reactions to classic movies is seeing people discover the original source of their pop culture references. Brings a smile to my face.
Carrie Henn, the girl that plays Newt, never made another movie after this. She is now a school teacher which feels 100% appropriate somehow. Anyway, Aliens is rightly considered one of the greatest sequels of all time. Whereas the first one is a slow-burn atmospheric sci-fi horror and this one is more of a straight action, sci-fi suspense thriller, they are both 5 star movies IMO. If I had to give the edge to just one of them I'd have to say the first one is essentially perfect, but both are amazing and still hold up quite well even decades later.
That outro was *incredibly* strange, and I'm here for it. 😄 The Queen was an absolutely *marvelous* combination of effects, though for me, personally, my favorite effect is a very simple one. The power loader that Ripley uses twice in the movie--it's just a guy in a suit. They hired a bodybuilder, put the power loader outfit on him, and basically had Weaver stand on his feet. Something about that effect, as simple and straightforward as it is, appeals to me just as much as the complex and creative effects that brought the Queen to life.
Sadly you didn't include my favorite scene early in the movie when Vasquez is doing pull-ups and Bill Paxton says, "Hey, Vasquez, has anyone ever mistaken you for a man?" and she responds, "No. How about you?" Hahahahaha... awesome. This was the most exhausting movie I ever watched.
The shiny “dust” stuff in the ship where they found Ripley in the beginning, I always thought it was ice crystals and I presumed it was probably due to the ship reverting all its power to sustain her life support, causing the ship to freeze including the moisture in the air that eventually stuck to all the surfaces like frosting. Just guessing.
Hicks could jump through the Plexiglass or Lexan because Hudson damaged it with his pulse rifle first ("Shoot it out!" PEW-PEW-PEW! CRASH!). If it hadn't been "shot out", then Hicks would have bounced off in a most painful yet hilarious manner.
“What do those Pulse Rifles fire?” “10mm armour piercing, explosive tip, case less” No plexiglass is withstanding that, followed by a 180lbs man wearing 30lbs of body armour.
It's always frustrating to me when I hear someone calls bullshit when Hicks jumps through the glass because Ripley couldn't break it and because it's soundproof. I can't believe they don't see Hudson shoot at it. Hicks actually says, "Shoot it out!".
For the last 30 years, I have heard about 4 (FOUR!) people ask the same question, "how did he manage to break the glass?" It's like they didn't hear Hicks shouting "Shoot it up!" or watch Hudson shooting the plexiglass.
This is still the greatest sequel ever made and looking at it now, you wouldn't guess that it cost a fraction of the budget of many films that followed. Genius production design and direction.
In the cut scenes, we see how Ripley had a daughter, and has to deal with her death having missed most of her life while lost in space. That makes her bond with Newt all the more telling. Did you recognize Vasquez? She was John Connor's foster mom in Terminator 2. Aliens was 1986.
I suppose others can describe it better, but when the mother of Paul Reiser (Burke) watched the movie, she applauded when her son died on screen. That's great credit for making a universally hated villain. Also, I have to come to the defense of Lambert in Alien. I think she was clever and competent, but couldn't handle stress. Lots of people can't and are great at what they do. She was just the navigator on a mining ship put in a horrific situation. Before they confronted the alien, she had the same sort of rational caution and good ideas as Ripley. Her only weakness was that she panicked in the face of fear. I don't blame her. Veronica Cartwright (playing Lambert) also deserve some praise for doing the role. She believed she was playing Ripley until they were fitted with wardrobe. She really hated the character, but played her well.
Some more facts about Aliens. It moved the series from a psychological and body horror to action horror. The creation of the face hugger in the original Alien was meant to give men a feeling of rape (why they had a male victim). The extended cut shows Ripley left a daughter behind who had recently died in her late 60's (remember Ripley drifted in space for 57 years) and that drove the motherly bond of Ripley toward Newt. The extended cut also shows that it was Newt's parents that were sent out to survey the alien derelict spacecraft and Newt's father was the first one impregnated by the aliens.
About a year ago I listen to an audiobook of aliens 2. ( It is on RUclips) That one tells a different story. It is focused on the colonies that live on that planet, before the aliens awaken. And before the rescue ship shows up
Ripley could have easily squashed the Alien Queen in the grip of the power loader, but then she would have been doused from head to toe in gallons of acid-blood and died a horrible, painful death. And Newt and everyone else would probably have died, too, when all of that acid ate a massive hole through the ship's hull. That acid-blood is quite a defense mechanism, as Parker noted in the first movie. It played a pretty big role in this movie.
We've had power-limiters on hydraulic equipment for at least fifty years, specifically for safety reasons. Since the 90's we've had fuzzy-logic limiters which will detect when they are crushing something soft and cut the power instantly. We can assume they have these in centuries to come.
@@rbrtck I'm not saying it is necessary the case here, but James Cameron tends to make his movies grounded in reality, something not always achievable in film of course (especially sci-fi). Cameron is very much a perfectionist, borderline scientist and known his for strict depiction of reality when possible and not hindering the plot (he isn't exactly a fan of how the real world is depiction in movies like Aquaman 🙂). Any way, the point of the scene is to level the playing field between Ripley and the mother. Holding the mother' in the hydraulic claw definitely looked cool, but while crushing the head with the claw definitely would have been possible, it would also have been anticlimactic, a very bad call story-telling-wise... And yes, the acid blood would likely have made it a very bad idea :D
@@fastertove The acid-blood is all that is necessary for an in-universe explanation. And while I broadly agree with you about Cameron and his movies, he's also a very practical filmmaker who generally knows when to just let something slide. For example, in _The Terminator_ the time displacement technology requires some kind of field generated by living tissue to operate--nothing dead on the outside will go. This was done to justify the absence of futuristic technology, besides the Terminator itself, since it is covered entirely by living tissue. That is all well and good, but couldn't advanced weapons have been built into the robotic endoskeleton? Let's hope that no one thinks about that while watching. And what about the fact that the epidermis consists of layers of skin that is no longer living? Cameron probably knows this, but it's close enough. Hardly anyone who is willingly suspending their disbelief is going to think of that or be bothered by it. Now what about the T-1000 in _T2_ ? It went through time "naked" like the T-800, but it wasn't covered by living tissue, it just made its liquid metal look like skin. This doesn't make sense. By the time anyone was going to question this, however, they would have been deep into the story, and shocked and amazed at the T-1000's abilities, as well. So who cares, right? Yet another example is that everyone sounds like they normally do in _The Abyss_ while on the rig. Wouldn't they be breathing a mixture of oxygen and helium at that depth and pressure, which would make them all sound like chipmunks? I know Cameron was well aware of this in real life, but he decided to pretend that there was no such issue, because it would have been hard for the audience to take the characters and story seriously with everyone sounding like Chip & Dale or the Munchkins. With no explanation, Cameron simply decided to gloss over this issue entirely, which in my opinion was the right call.
What a fun reaction! I saw this in the theater during high school, and it's still one of my favorite movie-going experiences ever, the audience was totally into it the whole time and we were cheering for Ripley's final boss fight with the Queen. "Aliens don't like water" -- I hope _The Abyss_ has made it to your list, it was the next film James Cameron made after this one.
The 'Lambert' actress was also in 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' that came out before 'Alien'. I just saw her recently as a teenager in an early 60's 'Twilight Zone' episode.
Now you'll watch the third movie, right? No spoilers. I promise! The one where they go back to Earth. Ripley marries Hicks, they adopt Newt. Bishop is fixed and becomes the best babysitter ever. (He plays the knife game with Newt, but don't tell Ripley or Hicks.) And we never hear of any aliens ever again. Maybe that's why some don't like the movie? It's called Alien3, but there's no aliens. Or do I remember it wrong? :)
It appears you're watching the theatrical version instead of the special edition. This is the way I recommend it for the FIRST time viewing. The special edition is worth checking out later though, because it has some additional details on Ripley and Newt that give a lot more weight to Newt calling Ripley "Mommy" at the end. SPOILERS: You see, after we find out that Ripley has been on the escape pod for 57 years she learns that her 12 year old daughter who was left on Earth has recently passed away (of old age) and we already know that Newt's whole family was killed by the aliens before they arrived. This is why that "mommy" is so special.
@@dnish6673 It never ruined the movie for me, even with that scene it's one of the best movies. If you want to talk about an opening ruining a movie, the opening of the theatrical cut of Dark City. Director's Cut is the only way to watch that movie if you don't want to be fed the entire plot of the movie in the opening sequence.
This is the best version to watch 1st time as the extended cut reveals the colonists have encountered the alien ship, and been sent there by the company, which spoils those reveals later on
The life cycle of the Aliens (Xenomorph): Queen lays the egg - egg contains the facehugger - facehugger implants and embryo - the embryo becomes a Xenomorph (drone or queen). If No queen is present, the drone will do one of two things. 1. Kill a person and the person's body can be absorbed and transformed into an egg. But the egg (which now contains a facehugger) needs a host body to grow an alien embryo. 2. The drone will do the same thing it would do if the queen was present...the human is NOT killed, but brought to an area where the eggs are so the facehuggers can do their thing.
@@danielmillward9947 I don't know. Why did humans create nuclear weapons, and why are we now working on AI to replace ourselves with? It's the stupidity of intelligence--the "great filter" of so-called "intelligent" (but apparently not very smart) species.
"Get away from her you bitch!" Is my second favorite iconic movie line. The first is from the movie Oblivion. You will understand when you hear it. Go watch Oblivion and love all the characters and cry.
What Ripley's got inside her is some PTSD, as I think anyone who lived what she lived through would have. That's why she had to go back to LV-426--to face her fears and help make sure that no one else would have to deal with these things ever again.
@@DawnMarieX Carrie Henn who plays Newt can occasionally be seen at Cons. She actually does look a bit like you, although a bit older. Do a quick Google search.
The alien lifecycle is: Queen, egg, facehugger, chestburster/adult alien. The aliens look different because the one in Alien is a worker drone. What's seen in Aliens are Soldiers. A healthy hive would have a higher drone to soldier ratio, but the Queen in Aliens had a limited population to draw from. ( pop. 158) .... The Xenomorphs communication is not entirely known, but believed to be a combination of pheromones and "telepathy". A facehugger's default "blueprint" is drone. If a drone is born into an environment without a Queen's "telepathic" influence, it will gorge itself, and through metamorphosis, become a Queen itself. That's what the drone In Alien was attempting to do.
The inquest at the beginning always bugged me, because in the novelization of the original film, my granddaughter (who I was actually able to convince my DIL to name " Ellen") badly injured the alien before blowing it into space. There was corrosion damage all over the inside of the shuttle.
after a couple of decades, i've come to the conclusion the review board was deliberately playing dumb to bury her case and not pay her compensation for the company's gross endangerment of employees. and probably also to recover the organism on a later date while keeping it from public knowledge as much as possible. PS yes, re2 is a great game. and yes they borrowed a lot of images from aliens. also re4 is my favorite one
Of course they buried. The PR damage and mutinies when it came out that they consider their crews as expendable? With androids among the crew to make sure that the company orders are being followed to the letter?
Dawn Marie: You noticed that the aliens attacking the marines did not seem so big as the alien from ALIEN. You are right. The actor who wore the Alien costume in ALIEN was a young Nigerian man called Bolaji Badejo, a 26 year-old design student. Bolaji Badejo was 6'10'' tall! and in the Alien costume he was a whopping 7 feet tall!
Omg!!! The way you talked about resident evil 2 just filled my heart with sooooo much joy!!!! Especially you saying the alarm: " The self destruct sequence has been activated. All employees proceed to the bottom platform." Cause resident evil 2 is also my all time favorite resident evil game and I also fckng love that line!!!! 😀
Jenette Goldstein is a good friend of James Cameron. I still find it hard to believe that she is the same actor to play John Connor's foster mother in "Terminator 2" as well as the Irish mother reading her kids a story as the "Titanic" is sinking...BOTH Cameron film.
Imagine someone as tough as Newt proved to be by surviving so long, going on to be raised by Hicks, Ripley, and Uncle Bishop. That would be one serious badass. The sequels wasted so much potential.
On the subject of biology, they are somewhat similar to bees. The warriors aren't the 'dads'. They are sisters. The Queen is an enhanced version of the regular warriors. The facehuggers are the stand-in for the male of the species.
Boy you enjoyed this movie. Watching it in theaters when it came out was great. Whole theater was hooting and hollering. When she came out in the loader to fight, the whole theater erupted. The lady that played Newt, she became a teacher and didn't do any more movies.
13:30 The Xenomorph Hive is somewhat like a Bee Colony. 93% of the Xenomorph colony might be female workers and the tiny 7% or less is Male drones. What we saw in the first movie, might have been a male drone. Which would be larger, and the shedding of it's skin tells me it went through a change. There is a cut scene from the first movie, that might explain what this change was without showing it. He was slightly altering his Sex, to allow for chemical breakdown of bio matter. This is for the construction of eggs, from living humans. He even made a tiny nest where he\she placed the forming eggs to rest. We don't see any shedding skin anywhere in this movie, because the males have a Queen and plenty of females. The Tiny female workers are attacking in this movie. Even when a Bee hive loses a queen by mistake or death, a female worker will temporary fill in the position till a larva is prepped and hatched. "sadly she loses power lol" Your question on the eggs: They eggs are placed in a organic form of hibernation. The seem to have their own liquids inside the eggs that might act as a dormant agent till heat or movement disturbs it..
I never played any of the Resident Evil games, the first one of which was released in 1996. If anyone copied anyone else, Resident Evil copied Aliens. I'm glad you enjoyed the film. It's my all time favorite movie. I saw it multiple times in the theater when it was released in 1986. Do yourself a favor and get hold of the Director's Cut, which has an additional 20 minutes of scenes. You haven't lived until you've experienced Hudson's "Ultimate Bad Ass" speech!
I've owned this for a few years but never watched it until I watched your review for the first one. This movie was awesome! I can see why it's one of the most popular movies of the decade and all time!
Such a great reaction, Dawn. This is a fantastic follow up to the original which was a great film, just like 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' was to 'Terminator'.
Aliens is definately one of the best Sci-fi movies of all time. The "special edition" version has a few extra scenes... shows Newts background a bit. The rest of the movies in the series, don't hold a candle to this one. The best part about watching your reactions, is the little stoner laughs.... 🙂
There was a limited cinema re-release of this after Cameron did the remaster ( and digitally removed Bishops bottom half not very well hidden below the set ).... one of my life regrets was not going to see it on the big screen. Masterpiece, his best film, he'll never match it.
I’ve watched many peoples reactions to this movie, and I have to say yours was unique. I would never have associated ( smash it from behind) and (do me )with this film.. now you can’t tell me my mind was in the gutter because it was plain and evident it crossed your mind too.. most people watching this movie are nervous but you were excited to see the aliens you couldn’t wait to see them definitely a unique response and reaction to this movie. Very entertaining made me laugh.
I remember I loved the first one I also remember we went to see the first one for my Birthday... I was 13... My younger sister was 9... Talk about scary! But I didn't think I was that scared by it... until I went to see the second one with my husband... I got chills and goosebumps just at the beginning credits. I knew I was in for a ride... LOVE the Queen alien... so awesome... totally one of the coolest aliens ever.

7:47 "Well at least they're _prepared,_ this time." No. They're not. Being _prepared_ to face a planet of xenomorphs, _first,_ means having an array of _bombers_ in orbit, and _second,_ having every _infantry_ unit you send to the surface giving first priority to their _flame_ throwers over their _projectile_ weapons. Remember, they established in the _first_ movie in the series that the xenomorphs bleed _acid_ that eats through a few layers of _hull._ They established in the first movie the perfect _defense_ this represents, so if you want to _kill_ one of these things, you've got to use a _flame_ thrower.
"How the hell did he do that?" (Hicks diving through the med bay window) He told Vasquez and Hudson to shoot it before he jumped: "SHOOT IT OUT!" "Wait, WHAT happens in twenty-six minutes?" The whole installation will vaporize in a gargantuan thermonuclear explosion the size of Nebraska (because the dropship crash damaged it).
Interesting facts: Hicks is played by Michael Biehn, “Kyle Reese” from the first Terminator. And this movie is directed by Jim Cameron, creator/director of the Terminator. In addition to that, the actor who plays Bishop (a robot) was one of Jim Cameron’s options to play the Terminator in the first movie (1984); in their second movie together, he gets to play a robot, finally 😂😂😂
It's MY favourite movie ever & being 50 I've seen it hundreds of times since 1986, so if anything Resident Evil borrowed from Aliens not vice versa. Also lets not forget the original was 1979!! Great reaction 😊

The power loader that Ripley uses twice in the movie--it's just a guy in a suit. They hired a bodybuilder, put the power loader outfit on him, and basically had Weaver stand on his feet. Something about that effect, as simple and straightforward as it is, appeals to me just as much as the complex and creative effects that brought the Queen to life.
Sadly you didn't include my favorite scene early in the movie when Vasquez is doing pull-ups and Bill Paxton says, "Hey, Vasquez, has anyone ever mistaken you for a man?" and she responds, "No. How about you?" Hahahahaha... awesome. This was the most exhausting movie I ever watched.
The shiny “dust” stuff in the ship where they found Ripley in the beginning, I always thought it was ice crystals and I presumed it was probably due to the ship reverting all its power to sustain her life support, causing the ship to freeze including the moisture in the air that eventually stuck to all the surfaces like frosting. Just guessing.
Hicks could jump through the Plexiglass or Lexan because Hudson damaged it with his pulse rifle first ("Shoot it out!" PEW-PEW-PEW! CRASH!). If it hadn't been "shot out", then Hicks would have bounced off in a most painful yet hilarious manner.
“What do those Pulse Rifles fire?”
“10mm armour piercing, explosive tip, case less”
No plexiglass is withstanding that, followed by a 180lbs man wearing 30lbs of body armour.
It's always frustrating to me when I hear someone calls bullshit when Hicks jumps through the glass because Ripley couldn't break it and because it's soundproof. I can't believe they don't see Hudson shoot at it. Hicks actually says, "Shoot it out!".
I agree with you, guys. Everybody can see Hudson shot the plexiglass with his rifle. How small is DAWN's computer screen? She can't see squat.
For the last 30 years, I have heard about 4 (FOUR!) people ask the same question, "how did he manage to break the glass?"
It's like they didn't hear Hicks shouting "Shoot it up!" or watch Hudson shooting the plexiglass.
Hicks is Kyle Reese from Terminator. Vasquez is John Connor's mom from Terminator 2. Some of the props (the "bat mobile") were used in both movies.
Alien was a great horror movie and Aliens was a great action movie. Love 'em both.
One of the producers (David Giler) stated that the first one was the haunted house, and this one was the roller coaster.
This is still the greatest sequel ever made and looking at it now, you wouldn't guess that it cost a fraction of the budget of many films that followed. Genius production design and direction.
In the cut scenes, we see how Ripley had a daughter, and has to deal with her death having missed most of her life while lost in space. That makes her bond with Newt all the more telling. Did you recognize Vasquez? She was John Connor's foster mom in Terminator 2. Aliens was 1986.
I suppose others can describe it better, but when the mother of Paul Reiser (Burke) watched the movie, she applauded when her son died on screen. That's great credit for making a universally hated villain.
Also, I have to come to the defense of Lambert in Alien. I think she was clever and competent, but couldn't handle stress. Lots of people can't and are great at what they do. She was just the navigator on a mining ship put in a horrific situation. Before they confronted the alien, she had the same sort of rational caution and good ideas as Ripley. Her only weakness was that she panicked in the face of fear. I don't blame her.
Veronica Cartwright (playing Lambert) also deserve some praise for doing the role. She believed she was playing Ripley until they were fitted with wardrobe. She really hated the character, but played her well.
"She believed she was playing Ripley until they were fitted with wardrobe." Seriously?!? That's messed up.
@@bigdream_dreambig Not sure if it was miscommunication or what, but that's what I read. (I wasn't there.)
In the intro when you said "Im not even going to say what that looks like", I immediately knew which shot you were talking about 😆
Some more facts about Aliens. It moved the series from a psychological and body horror to action horror. The creation of the face hugger in the original Alien was meant to give men a feeling of rape (why they had a male victim). The extended cut shows Ripley left a daughter behind who had recently died in her late 60's (remember Ripley drifted in space for 57 years) and that drove the motherly bond of Ripley toward Newt. The extended cut also shows that it was Newt's parents that were sent out to survey the alien derelict spacecraft and Newt's father was the first one impregnated by the aliens.
That version sucks.
@@hitmixhyepock9405 - Why?
About a year ago I listen to an audiobook of aliens 2. ( It is on RUclips) That one tells a different story. It is focused on the colonies that live on that planet, before the aliens awaken. And before the rescue ship shows up
Actually, that's water frost. It got so cold in the shuttle that all of the water in the air settled and froze, and is now starting to melt.
"And the giant Pee Pee that was layin' all the eggs."
You slayed me! 🤣🤣🤣
Nope, that’s a a girl part that was on screen
From the moment Ripley finds the tracker to when Newt starts screaming...the best high to low to high mood shift ever! 😁
Ripley could have easily squashed the Alien Queen in the grip of the power loader, but then she would have been doused from head to toe in gallons of acid-blood and died a horrible, painful death. And Newt and everyone else would probably have died, too, when all of that acid ate a massive hole through the ship's hull. That acid-blood is quite a defense mechanism, as Parker noted in the first movie. It played a pretty big role in this movie.
I agree about the acid-blood, but I'm not sure about the easy part.
Maybe the power loader was designed like a spanner - to grip rather than crushing.
We've had power-limiters on hydraulic equipment for at least fifty years, specifically for safety reasons. Since the 90's we've had fuzzy-logic limiters which will detect when they are crushing something soft and cut the power instantly. We can assume they have these in centuries to come.
@@TransoceanicOutreach I'm glad for that in real life, but movies don't have to be that realistic, and almost always aren't.
@@rbrtck I'm not saying it is necessary the case here, but James Cameron tends to make his movies grounded in reality, something not always achievable in film of course (especially sci-fi). Cameron is very much a perfectionist, borderline scientist and known his for strict depiction of reality when possible and not hindering the plot (he isn't exactly a fan of how the real world is depiction in movies like Aquaman 🙂).
Any way, the point of the scene is to level the playing field between Ripley and the mother. Holding the mother' in the hydraulic claw definitely looked cool, but while crushing the head with the claw definitely would have been possible, it would also have been anticlimactic, a very bad call story-telling-wise... And yes, the acid blood would likely have made it a very bad idea :D
@@fastertove The acid-blood is all that is necessary for an in-universe explanation. And while I broadly agree with you about Cameron and his movies, he's also a very practical filmmaker who generally knows when to just let something slide.
For example, in _The Terminator_ the time displacement technology requires some kind of field generated by living tissue to operate--nothing dead on the outside will go. This was done to justify the absence of futuristic technology, besides the Terminator itself, since it is covered entirely by living tissue. That is all well and good, but couldn't advanced weapons have been built into the robotic endoskeleton? Let's hope that no one thinks about that while watching. And what about the fact that the epidermis consists of layers of skin that is no longer living? Cameron probably knows this, but it's close enough. Hardly anyone who is willingly suspending their disbelief is going to think of that or be bothered by it.
Now what about the T-1000 in _T2_ ? It went through time "naked" like the T-800, but it wasn't covered by living tissue, it just made its liquid metal look like skin. This doesn't make sense. By the time anyone was going to question this, however, they would have been deep into the story, and shocked and amazed at the T-1000's abilities, as well. So who cares, right?
Yet another example is that everyone sounds like they normally do in _The Abyss_ while on the rig. Wouldn't they be breathing a mixture of oxygen and helium at that depth and pressure, which would make them all sound like chipmunks? I know Cameron was well aware of this in real life, but he decided to pretend that there was no such issue, because it would have been hard for the audience to take the characters and story seriously with everyone sounding like Chip & Dale or the Munchkins. With no explanation, Cameron simply decided to gloss over this issue entirely, which in my opinion was the right call.
What a fun reaction! I saw this in the theater during high school, and it's still one of my favorite movie-going experiences ever, the audience was totally into it the whole time and we were cheering for Ripley's final boss fight with the Queen.
"Aliens don't like water" -- I hope _The Abyss_ has made it to your list, it was the next film James Cameron made after this one.
Wasn't it ALIEN: RESURRECTION where the aliens swam underwater?
@@Joe-hh8gd Yes. But Aliens is pretty much the last good Alien movie.
The 'Lambert' actress was also in 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' that came out before 'Alien'. I just saw her recently as a teenager in an early 60's 'Twilight Zone' episode.
Veronica Cartwright was also in The Birds.
She's also British, not American
I think she's cried in every film she's ever been in😄
@@SamuelBlack84 I knew she was English...her accent.
Now you'll watch the third movie, right?
No spoilers. I promise!
The one where they go back to Earth. Ripley marries Hicks, they adopt Newt. Bishop is fixed and becomes the best babysitter ever. (He plays the knife game with Newt, but don't tell Ripley or Hicks.) And we never hear of any aliens ever again. Maybe that's why some don't like the movie? It's called Alien3, but there's no aliens.
Or do I remember it wrong? :)
You and I remember Alien 3 very differently. XD
@@BruGaleen So, what did you like more, your memories or my version?
@@donkfail1 NGL, your version does sound a lot better. XD
It appears you're watching the theatrical version instead of the special edition. This is the way I recommend it for the FIRST time viewing. The special edition is worth checking out later though, because it has some additional details on Ripley and Newt that give a lot more weight to Newt calling Ripley "Mommy" at the end.
SPOILERS:
You see, after we find out that Ripley has been on the escape pod for 57 years she learns that her 12 year old daughter who was left on Earth has recently passed away (of old age) and we already know that Newt's whole family was killed by the aliens before they arrived. This is why that "mommy" is so special.
Yes. There’s some cool scenes in extended version but that opening ruins too much.
@@dnish6673 It never ruined the movie for me, even with that scene it's one of the best movies.
If you want to talk about an opening ruining a movie, the opening of the theatrical cut of Dark City. Director's Cut is the only way to watch that movie if you don't want to be fed the entire plot of the movie in the opening sequence.
@@dnish6673 You mean the bit with Newt and her family?
@@JustWasted3HoursHere Yes, basically. I much prefer her being a surprise. The other stuff would have been fine.
This is the best version to watch 1st time as the extended cut reveals the colonists have encountered the alien ship, and been sent there by the company, which spoils those reveals later on
"She detached from the giant peepee." I blew soda all over my monitor . . .
The life cycle of the Aliens (Xenomorph): Queen lays the egg - egg contains the facehugger - facehugger implants and embryo - the embryo becomes a Xenomorph (drone or queen). If No queen is present, the drone will do one of two things. 1. Kill a person and the person's body can be absorbed and transformed into an egg. But the egg (which now contains a facehugger) needs a host body to grow an alien embryo. 2. The drone will do the same thing it would do if the queen was present...the human is NOT killed, but brought to an area where the eggs are so the facehuggers can do their thing.
The Alien Queen is also about 15 feet tall, which makes her enormous in comparison to the males.
What would drive the engineers so insane as to create such monstrous bio weapons
@@danielmillward9947 I don't know. Why did humans create nuclear weapons, and why are we now working on AI to replace ourselves with? It's the stupidity of intelligence--the "great filter" of so-called "intelligent" (but apparently not very smart) species.
"It's like a cross between a hand and a spider." LOL
😂 Basically a fanny that does the spunking instead
"They can bill me!". Awesome line
"Get away from her you bitch!" Is my second favorite iconic movie line. The first is from the movie Oblivion. You will understand when you hear it. Go watch Oblivion and love all the characters and cry.
What Ripley's got inside her is some PTSD, as I think anyone who lived what she lived through would have. That's why she had to go back to LV-426--to face her fears and help make sure that no one else would have to deal with these things ever again.
“Maybe she does have something inside of her.”
She does. But it’s not an alien, it’s PTSD.
Funny story. They had to dub in Newt's screaming when she slid down the duct work. Because she kept yelling "Weeee!!!". Because it was so fun.
Send an alien after her and she would scream😆
When Paul Riser took his Mother to the premiere she cheered when his character died. 😂
"Just go like this. Make her really dizzy." Comedy Gold, I spat coffee onto my keyboard....
I think Dawn looks like a grown up Newt. That's a compliment.
I'll take that!
@@DawnMarieX Carrie Henn who plays Newt can occasionally be seen at Cons. She actually does look a bit like you, although a bit older. Do a quick Google search.
@@tarmaque Are you saying she mostly looks like Newt... mostly?
@@jvgreendarmok Affirmative!
Another great movie with Bill Paxton is Weird Science, a great surreal 80's comedy, a must watch.
Twister as well, and he was a pretty good minor character in True Lies
Bill's best is Frailty, which he also directed.
The alien lifecycle is:
Queen, egg, facehugger, chestburster/adult alien.
The aliens look different because the one in Alien is a worker drone.
What's seen in Aliens are Soldiers.
A healthy hive would have a higher drone to soldier ratio, but the Queen in Aliens had a limited population to draw from. ( pop. 158)
....
The Xenomorphs communication is not entirely known, but believed to be a combination of pheromones and "telepathy".
A facehugger's default "blueprint" is drone.
If a drone is born into an environment without a Queen's "telepathic" influence, it will gorge itself, and through metamorphosis, become a Queen itself.
That's what the drone In Alien was attempting to do.
The inquest at the beginning always bugged me, because in the novelization of the original film, my granddaughter (who I was actually able to convince my DIL to name " Ellen") badly injured the alien before blowing it into space. There was corrosion damage all over the inside of the shuttle.
after a couple of decades, i've come to the conclusion the review board was deliberately playing dumb to bury her case and not pay her compensation for the company's gross endangerment of employees. and probably also to recover the organism on a later date while keeping it from public knowledge as much as possible.
PS yes, re2 is a great game. and yes they borrowed a lot of images from aliens. also re4 is my favorite one
Of course they buried. The PR damage and mutinies when it came out that they consider their crews as expendable? With androids among the crew to make sure that the company orders are being followed to the letter?
I've often wondered if even her daughter was really dead, or if she was lied to in order to convince her to return to Acheron
Arguably the greatest sci-fi movie ever made. And arguably the greatest sequel ever made
Dawn Marie: You noticed that the aliens attacking the marines did not seem so big as the alien from ALIEN. You are right. The actor who wore the Alien costume in ALIEN was a young Nigerian man called Bolaji Badejo, a 26 year-old design student. Bolaji Badejo was 6'10'' tall! and in the Alien costume he was a whopping 7 feet tall!
Omg!!! The way you talked about resident evil 2 just filled my heart with sooooo much joy!!!! Especially you saying the alarm: " The self destruct sequence has been activated. All employees proceed to the bottom platform." Cause resident evil 2 is also my all time favorite resident evil game and I also fckng love that line!!!! 😀
PMSL "awww she's smashin' it frum behined..." well... I mean you're not wrong; but Dawn... 🤣
That is exactly what she was doing 🤪
Your reaction at Mama Alien was worth the price of admission 😂.
Two thumbs up! 👍👍
Jenette Goldstein is a good friend of James Cameron. I still find it hard to believe that she is the same actor to play John Connor's foster mother in "Terminator 2" as well as the Irish mother reading her kids a story as the "Titanic" is sinking...BOTH Cameron film.
Imagine someone as tough as Newt proved to be by surviving so long, going on to be raised by Hicks, Ripley, and Uncle Bishop. That would be one serious badass.
The sequels wasted so much potential.
“She’s smashing it from behind” 😂😂😂 love her comments!!!
Between "smashing from behind" and "Do me,end of sentence", we have our one liners for this reaction 😀 😄
One of my favourite movies
It was awesome!!
On the subject of biology, they are somewhat similar to bees. The warriors aren't the 'dads'. They are sisters. The Queen is an enhanced version of the regular warriors. The facehuggers are the stand-in for the male of the species.
Boy you enjoyed this movie. Watching it in theaters when it came out was great. Whole theater was hooting and hollering. When she came out in the loader to fight, the whole theater erupted. The lady that played Newt, she became a teacher and didn't do any more movies.
My favourite scene/moment in this and probably any movie... When she finds Newt, then realises where she is. Hair-raising.
13:30 The Xenomorph Hive is somewhat like a Bee Colony. 93% of the Xenomorph colony might be female workers and the tiny 7% or less is Male drones. What we saw in the first movie, might have been a male drone. Which would be larger, and the shedding of it's skin tells me it went through a change. There is a cut scene from the first movie, that might explain what this change was without showing it. He was slightly altering his Sex, to allow for chemical breakdown of bio matter. This is for the construction of eggs, from living humans. He even made a tiny nest where he\she placed the forming eggs to rest. We don't see any shedding skin anywhere in this movie, because the males have a Queen and plenty of females. The Tiny female workers are attacking in this movie. Even when a Bee hive loses a queen by mistake or death, a female worker will temporary fill in the position till a larva is prepped and hatched. "sadly she loses power lol" Your question on the eggs: They eggs are placed in a organic form of hibernation. The seem to have their own liquids inside the eggs that might act as a dormant agent till heat or movement disturbs it..
You are such a character!!! Absolutely charming and just a bit wacky (enough to be exciting).
Loved the reaction and all your tangents and demands.
The mother instinct is strong in this one. DM may be wrong so often, but when she's right, she's right.
I never played any of the Resident Evil games, the first one of which was released in 1996. If anyone copied anyone else, Resident Evil copied Aliens. I'm glad you enjoyed the film. It's my all time favorite movie. I saw it multiple times in the theater when it was released in 1986. Do yourself a favor and get hold of the Director's Cut, which has an additional 20 minutes of scenes. You haven't lived until you've experienced Hudson's "Ultimate Bad Ass" speech!
Bill is so funny in that scene! It's my favorite part of the Special Edition.
I've owned this for a few years but never watched it until I watched your review for the first one. This movie was awesome! I can see why it's one of the most popular movies of the decade and all time!
Such a great reaction, Dawn. This is a fantastic follow up to the original which was a great film, just like 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' was to 'Terminator'.
Aliens is definately one of the best Sci-fi movies of all time. The "special edition" version has a few extra scenes... shows Newts background a bit. The rest of the movies in the series, don't hold a candle to this one. The best part about watching your reactions, is the little stoner laughs.... 🙂
I like that you have the integrity to make a prediction and if it's wrong leave it in. Sometimes just guessing is the most fun part of the game.
You're killin' me. Your pre-able ramble has me in stitches. Thank you.
When Paul Reiser did an interview on Johnny Carson for the movie. He said people were calling him all kinds of names when they saw him.
He said his mother cheered when his character died.
@@crankfastle8138 I remember but I forgot to mention it
There was a limited cinema re-release of this after Cameron did the remaster ( and digitally removed Bishops bottom half not very well hidden below the set ).... one of my life regrets was not going to see it on the big screen. Masterpiece, his best film, he'll never match it.
28:55 Our universal reaction upon seeing that door open. 🤣 Definitely in the top 5 Chekhov's Guns of all time.
Everybody admires Ripley & LOVES Newt. The 1st movie was groundbreaking, and this is a great sequel.
I just imagined the Alien Queen floating in space, bonding with the Reebok in it's hand out of pure boredom like Wilson in Cast Away.
Great reaction! Love your videos. Resident Evil 2 was influenced by Aliens. Sorry you're not feeling well. Hope you feel better soon. 😄
I’ve watched many peoples reactions to this movie, and I have to say yours was unique. I would never have associated ( smash it from behind) and (do me )with this film.. now you can’t tell me my mind was in the gutter because it was plain and evident it crossed your mind too.. most people watching this movie are nervous but you were excited to see the aliens you couldn’t wait to see them definitely a unique response and reaction to this movie. Very entertaining made me laugh.
I just found your channel and… love it ❤. You’re very clever, you almost guess what’s going to happen in every movie 😅👍🏼👏🏼
There was a scene that was cut out that explained that Ripley had a daughter that died of old age before Ripley could get back.
I remember I loved the first one I also remember we went to see the first one for my Birthday... I was 13... My younger sister was 9... Talk about scary! But I didn't think I was that scared by it... until I went to see the second one with my husband... I got chills and goosebumps just at the beginning credits. I knew I was in for a ride... LOVE the Queen alien... so awesome... totally one of the coolest aliens ever.
Resident Evil is a 1996 survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom originally for the PlayStation
Aliens is a 1986 science fiction action film written and directed by James Cameron.
We need to thank Jennifer Lawrence for her pioneering work in as a strong female lead, that character such as Ellen Ripley would not have been possible. /SARCASM
Ellen Ripley, Leia Organa (Amidala-Skywalker) or Sarah Conner
🤣🤣🤣
7:47 "Well at least they're _prepared,_ this time."
No. They're not. Being _prepared_ to face a planet of xenomorphs, _first,_ means having an array of _bombers_ in orbit, and _second,_ having every _infantry_ unit you send to the surface giving first priority to their _flame_ throwers over their _projectile_ weapons.
Remember, they established in the _first_ movie in the series that the xenomorphs bleed _acid_ that eats through a few layers of _hull._ They established in the first movie the perfect _defense_ this represents, so if you want to _kill_ one of these things, you've got to use a _flame_ thrower.
"someone copied someone"
Aliens was in theaters 12 years before Resident Evil 2 was made.
There used to be an immersive Alien War walk-through in Soho and Glasgow. As awesome as it sounds.
This version, the theatrical release, I find to be the better movie. Fun times. Cheers!
"How the hell did he do that?" (Hicks diving through the med bay window)
He told Vasquez and Hudson to shoot it before he jumped: "SHOOT IT OUT!"
"Wait, WHAT happens in twenty-six minutes?"
The whole installation will vaporize in a gargantuan thermonuclear explosion the size of Nebraska (because the dropship crash damaged it).
Interesting facts: Hicks is played by Michael Biehn, “Kyle Reese” from the first Terminator. And this movie is directed by Jim Cameron, creator/director of the Terminator. In addition to that, the actor who plays Bishop (a robot) was one of Jim Cameron’s options to play the Terminator in the first movie (1984); in their second movie together, he gets to play a robot, finally 😂😂😂
It's MY favourite movie ever & being 50 I've seen it hundreds of times since 1986, so if anything Resident Evil borrowed from Aliens not vice versa. Also lets not forget the original was 1979!!
Great reaction 😊
So sorry to hear you're not feeling well, Dawn Marie. I hope you feel better soon. ❤
"She's Smashing It From Behind".....LOL
Hi Dawn Marie! Great job on these two movies. I must say, I truly am enjoying your reaction/reviews. Love your voice, your antics and witty charm while watching these. Made me subscribe and start watching more. So many lines like, This is your Mum and Dad now!. Funny!!! Hope you've gotten better from your illness so can be even more expressive. Again great job. Looking forward to more.
That was fun. You're funny woman 😂
Michael Biehn plays two such iconic, selfless badasses: Hicks and Reese. He's very manly.
20:29 The aliens have such a flair for drama. They bare their teeth in slow motion before striking. ;)
15:05 I love how the big tough Marine is freaking out and the girl is like, "We should go inside. They mostly come out at night, mostly."
"She's smashing it from behind."
🤣🤣🤣
