I had quite an experience the first time I saw this. 1979. my head was in the clouds. I was super into Sci-Fi and Marvel comics. However I had very strict religious parents that wouldn't have dreamed of letting me se a film like this. Fortunately my best friend's Mom took me, him and his sister I had a crush for, to see the movie one Saturday afternoon. I had never seen an R-Rated film before nor any real Horror. The dread started in me the moment I saw the derelict spaceship. Then came the chestburster scene. I will never forget it. People all over the theater screamed, retched, threw up, ran out. And Valerie ended up in my lap. See I had a crush on her and had never been in close physical contact with a girl before. So I had all these feelings....right in the middle of an unimaginable horror show. She put her arms around my neck and cried into my shirt collar for pretty much the rest of the film. With her Mom sitting four chairs away I was real careful where I put my hands. As the film continues it got worse and worse, until Lambert and Parker's death, which twisted my stomach into knots. When Ripley finally got into the Narcissus and the infamous underwear scene started Val whispered right in my ear "Mine's better" I about died. That juxtaposition of being simultaneously aroused and horrified was devastating. I'll never forget it.
Not that is an experience!!!! lol Shoutout to Val!!!
I came to it through Marvel Comics, reading the Alien graphic novel, illustrated by Walter Simonson, which gave me nightmares at the time.
Ha! Great story! ;-]
@@robertcartier5088 I got a pretty funny one for Titanic as well
graphic novel?? I have to check that out - Kenny@@Bfdidc
“He’s got a helmet on. He’s fine.” 😊
He's fiiiiiine 🤣🤣
Narrator: "He was not fine."
It was "raining" in the huge landing leg compartment where Brett was killed. The simplest explanation is that the compartment was gigantic, with a very high ceiling. Water vapor in the air cooled and condensed into liquid water, which fell like rain onto the deck.
oh jesus, didnt even think about that. Man that thing was massive then.
When the landing gear is down, it gets covered with lots of ice. When it is retracted into the ship, the ice melts.
@@RickTBL Hey, cool theory!
@@rabbitandcrow It's not a theory.
Also, it was an ore refinery ship, so probably something to do with that............! Huge machinery, minerals, water plays a part in the refining procedure.............etc. That's what I always took it to be. Saw it as a kid in the Drive-In theatre..........my mother tried to cover my eyes, but I could still see through her fingers.!! Hahahaha! Great reaction though.
Saw this with friends at the cinema when it was first released back in '79. By the end my stomach was tied in knots. Had the shivers for 20 minutes. 🤣
I can't even imagine how insane that experience must have been haha.
😂😂😂 I felt the same way! I was practically biting my nails during the last part of the film.
The part where they yeeted Kane into space was essentially a burial at sea. Also the part where they landed, the landing gear was on some boulders which caused a shift in gravity and sent a shockwave through the ship. They had turned off the inertial dampeners so they had no shock absorption.
I love that this comment starts with yeeting and ends with inertial dampeners lol. You are truly a master of the English language 😂😂
"Sharing an Uber" is amazing. And "face hugger' is what the team named it during production - and then that's now become part of Alien "lore". The production team called the adult alien the "Alien Dessert"!
Alien Dessert is adorable lol

Ah, no, never leave the cat! If you notice, Jones always knows when the Alien is around: he backed away in the Brett scene and he growls in the shuttle, if only Ripley had paid attention. NEVER, EVER don't save the cat.
True, should have just kept the cat the whole time like a canary in a mine
"It's got a great defense mechanism... you don't dare kill it..."
Classic sci-fi horror. The tension is so thick, you will need a sharp steak knife in order to cut it.
The voice of "Mother" is so iconic, in my honest opinion. There's something unnerving about a cold feminine voice counting down to your death. It wasn't until GLaDOS that we rediscovered that a computerized female voice can be absolutely creepy.
Fun Fact: In H.R. Giger's original illustrations that inspired the look of the Alien, the creature had eyes. For the movie, Giger insisted that the creature have no eyes, thus giving the bleak appearance of a cold and emotionless beast that hunts by smell.
Real Guts Fact: The dead facehugger that Ash (Ian Holm) autopsies was made using fresh shellfish, four oysters, and a sheep kidney to re-create the internal organs. Filming had to be done quickly because the organic material would go bad very fast under the studio lights.
Bloody Solution Fact: It was conceptual artist Ron Cobb who came up with the idea that the Alien should bleed acid. This came about when Dan O'Bannon ran into a wall with the screenplay on how to handle the last half of the movie. He needed a good reason for why the crew members don't just shoot the thing and kill it but still not make it an indestructible monster that can't be killed. The acid blood was the idea that solved this problem.
Yeah the art style and just general vibes is simply immaculate. The acid blood is such a brilliant concept.
You will get more views and subscribers if you can keep your videos under 40 minutes. Just an idea.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
Thanks for the feedback!@@BigGator5
Back then people have a lot of ideas. Nowadays, they Just copy what others are doing and wonder why their movie flopping hard
Or acid.
I absolutely love this movie!!!!!!! One of my favourites for sure!
It's sooooo good! Thanks for the comment ❤️❤️❤️
Not many reactors make the connection with the giant dead alien on the derelict with its chest exploded & what happened to Kane! Very impressive! I have always found that as an obvious connection, foreshadowing, but most people just don't make that connection at all. So happy that you did, even long before Kane was even attacked by the facehugger! Impressive!
Thanks so much!! Yeah seems obvious, weird folks dont catch it.
There are some people in the world of the arts who peak at the beginning of their career. Ridley Scott is one of them, he directed this film and Blade Runner at a young age, these are two of the greatest films ever made nevermind sci-fi. The work ever since has been a mix of ok and bad and yes I include Gladiator in that bunch.
Have you seen Ridley's first film, THE DUELLISTS? I was never much into period pieces but, for some reason, this movie draws me in. It was set during the Napoleonic Wars, starring Kieth Carradine and Harvey Kietel.
The book explained 1) They were futuristic "truckers", so everything was utilitarian except for the crew spaces. 2) Earth had used up all fossil fuel, but there was an important derivative of crude oil that couldn't be synthesized so oil needed to be transported to Earth from another planet where it had been discovered. 3) Bringing the alien back to Earth was supposed to be a smuggling operation that the oil delivery would have shielded from government scrutiny.
Someone else (stogie2112) already explained the reason for the "rain".
FYI: "Acid" wasn't that common even during the 60s. It would have been pot/weed, with a very few using coke, which was usually saved for parties, dates or nights out at a disco.
Didn't even realize it started from books!! All those facts are super cool and wish they would have included those details in the movie. Maybe they talk about it in future movies. Thanks for the info!
See Aliens !!!!!!!!!!!
We def will!
@@KennyandLindsayWatchgreat sequel.
ALIEN IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE
Agreed!
Kenny and Lindsay thank you so much for making first time reactions to The Thing (1982) directed by John Carpenter and Alien (1979) directed by Ridley Scott they are both my favorite sci-fi horror movies and i consider the both of them the greatest sci-fi horror movies ever created as well:).
Glad you enjoyed them! Thank you so much for watching!
sound of music?.... in space, no one can hear you scream 😱😱😂😂
🎵The Hills are alive with the sound of Xenomorphs!!!🎵
The cool cat reaction to Brett's killing, one killing machine to another.......respect
HR Giger and the movie special effects team design the alien head to look like a phallus with teeth. It shows up on screen for the first time. Kennny: "Oh it looks kinda cute." My dude....
Dont judge me lol
hello peepers I thought I would mention, the chest bursting scene with ''Kane'' played by British actor john hurt, ridley scott kept this a secret from the rest of the cast, the ''reaction'' you witnessed was all real the look of horror and confusion was the reaction he wanted, the film was made in the uk, as was the squeal, the sets were full size, ( they had to, they was no CGI special effects good enough in 1979 plus miniature models etc) so they built , long corridors, rest areas, the cockpit, all built at the world famous shepperton studios england, as was all the star wars franchise squeals, indiana jones, superman, with the late (christopher reeves) batman, Tom cruise's mission impossible's and a whole lot more hollywood action blockbuster hits, made in the uk .
The follow on squeal ''Aliens'' was directed by James Cameron 1986 not steven spielberg
Love an authentic reaction, thats so cool. I have no idea why I said Spielberg lol
Great reaction, guys. A few years ago I was lucky enough to see Alien projected in 35mm at a film festival in Sydney. Nothing comes close to sitting in a dark theatre watching this movie... As you pointed out, the sound design is one of a kind, and the overall atmosphere, Jerry Goldsmith's iconic music...The constant whirring. The film print was also more shadowy and grainy than the bluray, so the ship's interiors looked extra fucking spooky lol.
omg 35mm??? JEALOUS. I bet that was amazing
Ash seemed to know a lot about the alien so it was probably planned in advance, maybe by someone working for the company if not the company itself. They might have picked up the signal with a probe which they analysed thoroughly, and completely translated, described the exact nature of the xenomorph.
Yeah, I have feeling it was a setup from the start.
The first victim was also in the movie " The Elephant Man ". He played the part of John Merrick.
Never heard of that movie, is it any good?
@@KennyandLindsayWatch bases on a true story and superb movie with Anthoby Hopkins.
@@KennyandLindsayWatch Elephant Man is a very good movie. In addition to Anthony Hopkins, it stars John Hurt (RIP) who was "Kane" the first person killed by the face hugger alien. Very good actor.
James Cameron directed Aliens
Got ya, makes sense it's an action movie then
@@KennyandLindsayWatch Oh yes. LOL. Huge debated on which movie was better.
The crew of the Nostromo were just like basic workers , They were totally not used to this type situation . So they did not have a protocol on how to handle such a situation .
There was a persistent rumor that the actors were not aware what would happening in the chestburster scene. They were aware. After all, it's pretty hard to hide from them the big cutout in the table for someone to put a head through and the fake body with animatronics. The scene is also edited from at least two different takes (notice how the amount of blood on Kane's t-shirt changes illogically). However, they were surprised by the amount of blood and the presence of real animal guts being spewed out. In particular Veronica Cartwright, who by chance got blasted right in the face.
Alien is my favorite scifi/horror movie.
Aliens is my equal favorite scifi/action movie - equal with Terminator 2. It simply depends on my mood at the time.
I mention this because both Alien and Terminator franchises are some of the most loved of my generation, with some of the best heroes ever. However, both franchises have fans that will give very strong opinions on which movies you should or should not watch. I suggest you watch them all to form your own opinions.
For this franchise, I personally prefer the 'extended' editions because I enjoy immersion into a deeper story - but others prefer the Theatrical edition because they don't slow down the core plot.
Also, most reactors seem to get scared away from watching Alien 3 & 4 because of the many negative comments (somewhat deserved). However, watching them might be a point of difference for your channel since there are not many Alien 3 & 4 reactions out there.
Alien vs Predator is a spinoff/cross-over series so you should 100% watch Predator first.
Yeah we also tend to prefer extended editions as we are lore nerds. Thank you for the comment! What about the Prometheus movies? I think I heard they were in the same universe, not sure how they relate to the Alien movies though.
@@KennyandLindsayWatch Prometheus and Covenant are a 2-part prequel series to the 4-part main series with Ellen Ripley. They try to explain the origin story of the alien species, but are perhaps best viewed after the main series because the 'traditional' xenomorph has a smaller role.
AvP confuses the issue because it also tries to stay true to the Predator universe, but I don't want to give any spoilers if you haven't seen Predator. My personal suggestions would be either
1. Release order of everything mentioned if you simply want to discover these universe(s) as we did, OR
2. Alien 1-4 then Prometheus then Covenant. That will cover the "official" Alien universe, then you can launch into AvP (after watching Predator any time you want)
Fun Fact: The director didnt tell the cast about the chest bursting scene and that was their real reaction to what was happening at 25:00.
Great call by the director lol
@@KennyandLindsayWatch right. But as you look at it. It's complete what we all would have done in that situation.
There are only two types of people: those who watch it zoom across the table and sit horrified and those who laugh. I also fall in the latter. Unforgettably Horrifying scene though!
Saw this magnificent movie when I was 14 back in 1979, came out of the cinema traumatised 😂
Bing is still a thing. The drawn out Brett scene is awesome in how it builds anxiety as well as the "Dallas in the vents" sequence. I kept looking at Lindsay's eyes through much of this video. So pretty.
In the extended version, Ripley comes across a cocooned Dallas.
5:05 - I always thought the random clothes tossed on the floor was odd...but I think maybe it is meant to parallel the shedded skin of the alien from later in the film.
There are so many instances of parts of the design of the ship looking like body parts, the clothes tossed on the ground would fit right in.
Yeah that makes sense! The Art direction and tone/vibes of this movie are truly insane!
yeah...just off the top of my head there's the doorways that open and close like a sphincter, random wires and cords that hang from the ceiling like tendrils, the womb or egg like room where they communicate with "mother" and the fact that, in the escape pod in the end, the alien hides in plain sight by simply blending into the wall.
gotta love a good sphincter door@@victorsixtythree
I saw this film back in 1979 on a 70' screen with the sound cranked. The audience was totally rattled by the experience.
lol I bet!!
TBH, even when Alien was new we all thought the chestburster was kinda cute 🤷♂
lol awww
The sad tale of a socially awkward alien trapped aboard a spaceship with a dangerous predator named Ellen Ripley.
I saw this movie when I was sixteen years old in 1979. It was a 70 mm showing and was TERRIFYING! I don’t think I slept for two weeks. I bought a movie “program” magazine in the lobby before we went into the theater. I still have it today.
That is awesome!!!
1:36 -"People say that Alien is the sci-fi version of The Sound of Music." Not actually completely far fetched...Lambert was played by Veronica Cartwright...whose younger sister is Angela Cartwright...who played Brigitta von Trapp in The Sound of Music! (Other screen credits for the sisters...Veronica was in Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds' as a young girl, Angela was in the 1960's TV show 'Lost in Space'.)
Die hard 1 is reversed alien 😂😂😂
My Mind is literally blown lol - Lindsay
@@KennyandLindsayWatchHere's a fun news piece from Australian TV from a few years ago on Angela and Veronica's careers: ruclips.net/video/DPS7FrRZ2LE/видео.htmlsi=ClvBcVjr7u2keX5G
From a certain point-of-view, "Alien" is a movie with a simple plot of trying to save a cat.
It really is lol
If you watch the sequel, Aliens, try to watch the Special Edition as it adds some extra scenes that flesh out Ripley's character and story. I would recommend that you stop there at the Alien franchise. Alien 3 is infamous for the film being ruined by studio interference and is only really something to watch for Alien fans who want to appreciate what could have been.
Special edition, got it, will try to find that cause we def are going to watch Aliens. Is there anything worth watching past aliens? I heard Prometheus was in the same universe.
@@KennyandLindsayWatch I was 18 years old when I saw this premier at a theater in Denver and thought it was a ground breaking film. I became vested it the franchise once the next movie opens in 1986 and have watched ALL of the series, irregardless of other opinions. Now we wait for Alien Romulus.
@@KennyandLindsayWatch Alien and Aliens are considered the two 'masterpiece' films of the franchise and no others match them. Prometheus and Alien Covenant are decent but forgettable in comparison. The films are... Main story: Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection. Prequel Story: Prometheus, Alien Covenant. Spin off: Alien vs Predator, Alien vs Predator 2.
You guys have some good instincts. The alien does indeed take on some characteristics of the host it grew inside of. Ash called it Kane's son for good reason. To drive that idea home to the audience, there was a plan to have human-like genitals on the alien, and have it become aroused by Ripley's underwear scene but it was scrapped.
Well thats a mental image I didnt need lol. Very interesting though!!
Composer Jerry Goldsmith's idea was making the first part even more hopeful, but the filmmakers toned it down. He composed a title track with a big lush romantic middle part, not unsimilar to what he composed for Star Trek around the same time, but they ended up not using it. They changed a lot of the music from what Goldsmith intended. In particular, they temp-tracked it with earlier scores of Goldsmith, something which Goldsmith never really liked anyway. In particular, they fell in love with a bit from his score for the movie Freud (came out in 1961 or so) which he really not approved of (after all, he composed this to be something else entirely), but it still ended up being used in the final version. Goldsmith was so angry about all this that he refused to release a soundtrack album with the recordings made for the movie. Instead, he got his friend Lionel Newman to re-record HIS arrangements, and released that on album. Only after Goldsmith's death, alternative score albums were released. There also was a Director's Cut DVD which offered the option to play the movie with Goldsmith's intended music (albeit without any other sound except the music).
It's also quite ironic that in both Star Trek and Alien, Goldsmith got replaced by James Horner for the sequel.
Yes, of course, it's worth watching the second part of Aliens, since James Cameron himself is responsible for the sequel! Without going into spoilers, I just have to say that he managed to expand the Alien universe!
People always say that the technology onboard the NOSTROMO in ALIEN does not fit the future by pointing out there are CRT displays and what not. This was done on purpose. the NOSTROMO is basically a cargo hauler, and the crew are space truckers. Ridley Scott wanted everything in the ship to seem old and out of date. If you look closely, you can see duct tape on the bridge seats. The movie would not be as horrific and creepy if the Xenomorph were stalking and killing the crew on board the Starship Enterprise.
It's arguably the best horror movie ever made, although The Thing is scariest
The atmosphere/mood is top tier
Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection - Prometheus and then Covenant. 1-4 Connected but every movie is different, Prometheus and Covenant is a 2 parter so far. I like 3 and 4 but a lot of people don't, I don't really count 4 as a true part of the story though, more of a popcorn flick dream of that universe. I do think 3 is underrated, don't have to watch special edition for aliens but it wouldn't hurt but I would get the special/extended version for 3. Things like AVP are alt/dreams as well and deff are not connected.
Got ya, makes sense. Thank you!
Aliens is a must watch. Arguably better than the first movie. Aliens 3 and beyond not so much. Loved your reactions. Horrifying when it came out in 79. You left the theatre wore out from stress, lol.
We were wore out at home, so I cant even imagine lol
No way is Aliens better. It’s a popcorn action flick. This first one is a masterpiece of tension and horror.
Don't forget to watch the "special edition/ extented cut" for its sequel "ALIENS" wich is even better than the first one and probably the best one of the franchise. And is as scary and stressful than the first one ;)
Can't wait!
45 Years ago! No crappy, CGI, yes a crappy stomach puppet. But the rest is UNREAL
ALIENS is a fine movie. The other 2 aliens might not be at the same level but they have things I like to watch when I watch the movies again.
You have to see Aliens now. Its the Citizen Kane of the sci-fi / action / horror genre. But you have to see the Special Edition.
The chest-burster in Aliens is far less awkward and silly. Theres no way you can call it "Cute."
Sigourney Weaver and James Cameron turned Ripley into one of the greatest, strongest, most iconic female roles in film history. Its a real shame that Sigourney didnt win Best Actress for Aliens. She was nominated which is very rare for the sci-fi genre. Her Ellen Ripley is right up there with Sarah Connor in Camerons own Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.
There are no more movies worth watching in Ripleys saga after Aliens. If you want to see some crazy yet beautiful science-fiction set in this universe, you can watch Prometheus.
1000% Going to watch Aliens, and trying to get our hands on the Special Edition. Super excited for it
@@KennyandLindsayWatch Good. You guys are in for a treat
Cool, isn't?! Amazing work of Ridley Scott. And yes the sequels are more like action movies then suspense.
Still worth the watch?? I always heard good things about Aliens, but not really anything about the others.
@@KennyandLindsayWatch Well it's pretty like watch Jaws, or Predator, or even Silent of the Lambs and then watch their sequels, do you know what I mean? I'm not a great fan of movie sequels, and isss my opinion that almost all sequels are feeble representations from the original.
@@KennyandLindsayWatch Alien 3 is worth watching, but you have to get the Assembly Cut, which is rare.
@@KennyandLindsayWatchAliens is definitely an action flick and it’s fun but nowhere close to the dread and tension of the first. Aliens has too many wisecracks and one liners and the Marines in the movie shoot up about a thousand aliens, compared to that single huge alien in the first movie. No comparison imho.
@@euclides9156Agreed.
53:14 Ooh speaking of Steven Spielberg, if you (or at least one of you) haven't seen JURASSIC PARK, you should definitely react to it! 🦖💚 Would love to see it.
Enjoyed your Alien reaction, good choice as well. 👽
JP is one of my favorite movies of all time, I dont think Lindsay has ever really seen it.....that might be a good call! - Kenny
The company got the signal first and relayed it to mother(the ship). And Ashe being a robot he told them about kane and they informed him to bring the alien back
What was that milk stuff? Robot WD40?
@@KennyandLindsayWatch the milk was what keeps him energized. We have blood they have fluid. I'm guessing. But I think it's a liquid that keeps him functioning
"It's kinda cute" LMAO
It really was!
Omg 😂 you two are hilarious 🤣 Subscribed!!
Loved you guys reaction. Please do aliens, its still suspense but more action orientated. Great cast as well. Predator should also be on your radar.
Thanks so much!!! Aliens reaction is coming sooooo soon, and yeah Predator def on the radar (especially with the recent passing of Carl Weathers)
@@KennyandLindsayWatch yes, rip, Carl Weathers ❤️
If you've watched Space Balls, the same actor does another chestburster scene in the diner, that's why he says, "oh no, not again.." And the other 4 actors in that scene are made to look very much like the cast of Alien. Also, though he's much younger in this movie here, Ian Holm who plays Ash, was playing Bilbo Baggins in the LOTR movies.
THAT WAS BILBO??!?!?!?!!?? Holy crap!
NO SPOILERS!
@@Stogie2112spoilers for what? Spaceballs? 😂
@@FrenchieQc ... Yes! Don't spoil the diner scene, ya goofball!
@@KennyandLindsayWatch Oh, one other detail, too. For the chestburster scene, the cast was not told specifically what was gonna happen (they knew something was coming out of the body, but no more), so when the little alien pops out and blood sprays everywhere, the look of horror on everyone's face is very genuine. The actress playing Lambert actually passed out briefly after the scene, and the one playing Parker (the Black actor) went to his room and didn't talk to anyone for a long while.
Yes i still use Bing 😂
LMAO noooooo
"...my God, I'm gonna have a stroke..." Love your passion for suspense, ma'am. 👍
LMAO
Now watch Aliens. The other sequels are flawed but also worth a watch.
Watching Aliens really soon!
Gotta watch aliens and stop there.
Glad you enjoyed this film 👍, I found it terrifying when I first watched it back in the day tbh.
I particularly liked the scene where Brett was walking through the ship and the sound of the water falling on his hat made me feel like I was there and seeing things through Bretts eyes, I found it the most immersive scene of any film I watched.
I'm glad you didn't watch the directors cut as although it fills the hole where Parker describes the Alien taking Brett, it also ruins the film by introducing certain (original) ideas that spoil Aliens. (Although I have heard a reasonable explanation for the idea.)
I used to live next door to a carpenter who worked at the studio that worked on Alien and he showed me photographs of the Nostromo set during construction and I can say it is amazing at what they achieved.
I recommend you watch Predator 1 & 2 before you watch the AVP movies, you'll feel better for it in the long run.
While the films after Aliens are not as good as the first two they can still be watched, personally I enjoy Alien Resurrection a lot.
Aliens is Sigourney's favourite film as it gives more detail into Ripleys background. Aliens Special\extended edition is worth watching (IMO) It is the film I would have liked to have seen at the cinema.
OMG those photographs sound amazing! What a treat that must have been. We def have Predator on the list! Lots have folks have recommended the special edition version of Aliens so will watch that for sure!! Thanks so much!
@@KennyandLindsayWatch Don’t forget to watch the extended version of “Aliens” as the OP suggested. I, personally, would skip watching “Alien 3”. I absolutely HATED what they did at the beginning of that one. It certainly is up to you though.
Btw - James Cameron directed “Aliens” and he doesn’t like “Alien 3” either.
The original “Predator” is a good bet after that.
At some point I think you should review the film which served as the outer space, science fiction grandaddy of all modern space movies: “2001: A Space Odyssey”. That film came out in 1968 and was directed by Stanley Kubrick. It’s a masterpiece.
Lindsay: “I don’t like gore.”
Me: *thinking of the most famous scene* oh no. 😅
😭😭
I use bing.
LMAO David noooooooooo
There is a 1958, sci-fi “IT! Came From Outer Space” 😮has the same premise 😵💫
If you watch Aliens, make damn sure you watch the Special Edition. It’s actually an improvement over the already-great theatrical release. More development on the lead character and some cool action/tension scenes were added back.
For sure!!
Awesome reaction haha! You've gotta watch the sequel, Aliens, and the rest of the films in the franchise (and Predator as well!) Just wanted to talk about why they just watched the baby alien that burst from Kane's chest scurry away. Much like the facehugger, it bleeds acid! They don't wanna kill something that bloods acid! That confused me the first time I watched as well though haha - small and geeky detail lol.
ahhhh ok so it was leaving a trail of acid behind, that makes sense then lol
@KennyandLindsayWatch it wasn't leaving a trail of acid (the blood was Kane's!) but if they would've tried to stab or shoot it, it would have!
omg so two fun facts. someone did a voice over clip of the chest popping scene with southpart character voices. i cant remember the full alters scene except the part where baby alien screeches and runs they dubbed it with cartman;s voice caling them all dildos and runs away. the second fun fact. the actor who got his chest popped replayed the character in a short scene in the film Space balls. when his chest pops in that film he's like oh god not again. faints and the alie puts on a hot hat and starts singing.
Thanks for watching! Let us know what you thought of the movie! Please consider giving us a like and subscribe! It goes a long way to help us!
nice reaction! looking forward to your reaction of the amazing sequel
Thanks so much! We can't wait to watch it!
Classic movie
It really is!
Yes I was 18 years old when I saw this movie as soon as it got to our little town theater. There were people screaming and running from the theater during the chest popping seen lol. And when Dallas turned around and the xenomorph did the jazz hands, popcorn and soda went everywhere in that theater lmao. Everybody was wet we were all terrified LOL oh my God it was really something. One of those cherished memories you never forget 🥲
Please react to the sequel _Aliens_ as it is just as good but way more of an action film. You will love it.
I'll sub up and be a new subscriber if you guys promise to consider reacting to the movie _Life_ from 2017. You'll love it I'll bet 😊
I can't even IMAGINE this in the theatre!!! insane! We are def watching aliens!! We had never heard of Life, but just googled it and it def looks right up our alley! It's going on the list!
I love your reaction.
Be who you are
Thanks so much!!
Great reaction!
Thanks so much!
Sailors see to keep cats on ships to catch mice.
FYI. Steven Spielberg had no hand in any of the Alien franchise.
Totally meant James Cameron, oops!
ALIEN is one of my all-time favorite movies, which is weird since I'm not at all a horror fan, though I am a sci-fi fan. I'd heard about the movie before it came out, featured in fan mags of the time and the weird Gigeresque art and the Ron Cobb conceptual design drew me in. There was no doubt I was going to see this even though I had to suffer through the suspense. I had to sit at the back of the theater near the lobby doors in case the intensity made me bolt. So, yeah, I understand having to watch a movie through your fingers (actually, I tend to cover my ears 'cause jump scares are loud)!😅
Apparently, an ALIEN tv series is being developed though I'm adopting a wait-and-see attitude toward it. I only like the first two movies of the ALIEN franchise but the rest leave lots to be desired. Even though I'm not a gamer, the ALIEN: ISOLATION game comes closest to capturing the feel of the original movie.
Because of STAR WARS and ALIEN, I chose illustration as a career. Go figure.
Wow great comment! Yeah we are also not horror fans but love scifi. The tone/design of everything in this movie is just top tier. Super jealous we were not around to see this or Star Wars in the theater when it first came out. So amazing that you are an illustrator!!
The alien's tail doesn't stick you in the butt, it goes up to the upper back/base of the neck and stabs you. It can then hold you in place with its tail, while it does horrible things.
Horrifying lol
Old timey musicals... (Singing in the Rain? West Side Story?)... like Grease.
Oh. Jeez. I'm old.
Hahaha, to be fair my favorite movies of all time (and what I meant when I said old timey) are The Sound of Music, Hello Dolly & My Fair Lady! -Lindsay
If you're interested to see more scifi then i would highly recommend these underrated movies 😊👍
Upgrade 2018
Looper
Dark City
Strange Days
We have seen looper and loved it, the other 3 we have not and will add them to the list!
If you want to know the origin of the aliens you will have to see "Prometheus".
In any case, you can't miss "Aliens" now.
@35:10 .... Jazz Hands!
Also known as: "Ripley, you're in command now..."
LMAO
Two naive viewers are boarding the "Nostromo." What will they make of this "old, long, character-centered, no-DFX" movie? I saw "Alien" in the same ex-Cinerama theater that had shown "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) and "Star Wars" (1977). The TV and newspaper ads only said: "In space, no one can hear you scream." What kind of movie was this? It looked "Star Wars-y," but we were about to take a roller coaster to Hell. The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet! 11:11 The Space Jockey, a mystery for decades. 13:27 Kane = Zapp Brannigan. 14:35 How's that for a jump scare? 15:00 This conversation has become iconic due to recent events. 16:06 The Face Hugger, grossing out audiences for decades. 17:34 Acid Blood solved the "why don't they cut it off him?" question. 21:39 A Props dept. work of ART, made of sea animals. 23:58 Kane's last meal. 25:24 The Xenomorph, scaring audiences for over 40 years. 26:21 Burial at sea spares next-of-kin the gruesome details. 28:32 Along came Jones. 31:20 Say hello to Bolaji Badejo. 35:06 You're in command, Third Officer Ripley. 37:06 This was my "WTF? Ash iSN'T Human!?" moment. 38:51 Most didn't see this coming. 42:24 I've read that Lambert is standing in for us, the audience. 45:27 Escape route cut off, stop Destruct to gain time for plan B. 51:01 Tonight's entree on the shuttle "Narcissus" is Steamed Xenomorph in Shell. 51:52 Correction, Char-Broiled Xenomorph. This and the next movie made newcomer Sigourney Weaver a major movie star. Along with Linda Hamilton of "The Terminator" (1984), they became Action movie Badasses. "Jennifer Lawrence"? Who is that?
Bing is still a thing and their AI is pretty good.
Bing stepped their game up??? ok gonna have to check it out lol
Vintage scifi movies are the best, and tbh i much prefer 80s movies version of the future than what we have now or compared to modern day movies set in the future
Moden movie showing the future are usually sterile looking. I orefer to dark and grittiness of say alien and blade runner
I agree, the vibes are immaculate.
The way to watch the Alien franchise:
Watch the first two movies -- there ya go, you are done.
However, if you like fan-fiction with a Hollywood budget, then you might enjoy the rest of the films. They can be a lot of fun. But it is important to remember that none of them are "essential". Enjoy!
The Terminator franchise? See above.
Lol understood. Heard the same about Terminator
Hope they do Aliens.
We are watching it next!
Sigourney Weaver is in all 4 movies.
If you liked the movie, try playing the game, 'Alien Isolation', it's recognised as one of the scariest computer games ever
I can't even imagine!
11:18 That's what she said.
Great reaction. Please watch an awesome sci-fi show called Travelers next. Thanks.
Thanks so much! Never heard of travelers, will have to check it out!
CGI didn't exist back then.
Really? I'm pretty sure it did, maybe not the same way we do now, but surely some effect. Thinking of the ship exploding for example. Either way this movie did a great job and we prefer practical effects anyways.
@@KennyandLindsayWatch John Carpenters " The Thing " is a great movie .
That was actually the very first movie reaction we did, check it out!@@guitarman8462
In the book it’s heavily implied that the Alien sexual assault Lambert before killing her
I've heard things like that, but not sure it makes sense. The alien reproduces with eggs and a face hugger. It doesn't reproduce the way we do. Could the book have changed things a little, or added to it? Not saying it's not possible, just really not sure.
Oh great, just when it couldn't get any worse lol
Didn't Ash make the motion tracker? Just saying
That little sneak
James Cameron directed aliens the sequel not Steven Spielberg! Sigourney Weaver's in all of the sequels and aliens the second one is at least as good as alien if not better!
Yep totally meant James Cameron, not sure why Spielberg was in my head haha
Do all the Alien films
Including AVP and prometheus?
James Cameron (Director of Aliens) says the top three are "Alien", "Aliens" and "Aliens Vs Predator". Plus the new Hulu show next year is retconning the Prometheus/Covenant arc.@@KennyandLindsayWatch
I think it’s hilarious when she covers her face. DO NOT WATCH ALIEN 3. Watch Aliens (directors cut). Predator, Predator 2, Predators. Alien vs Predator (all movies). Then prequels in order. Trust me. 😊
Aliens Directors cut is coming soon!!
Yeah see the difference between them and me I'll pass up my paycheck I'll go get a new job I'm not putting my life at risk for exploring and unknown world and secondly as soon as I saw that face hugger on that guy's face I would have been gone I would have stolen the shuttle and left with a cat.
FACTS! I am sitting in the shuttle buckled up ready to go.
@@KennyandLindsayWatch yes this is my first time on this channel. So, hello.
""The sci-fi version of the Sound of Music"".........I'm LMAO! B..S... ! Ok Kenny so you have seen this movie before, yes i can tell have and Lindsay its your first time.. I was a teenager in '79 when I saw this movie in '79. This is the most scary movie behind Exorcist '73. So I know everything about the series. Well ok u didnt see Ash as a robot.. The scene was shot with Lamber wearing Bretts boots , if u didnt notice. it took 3 hours filming to get it right. But then it was delated. Close but not butthole. This series has a lot of sexual undertones which u failed to pick up. Some do dome dont. I didnt.The cat was too small for the alien to reproduce in thats why it slapped it.
Signory Weaver was originally cast to play Lambert and Veronica Cartwright to play Ripley. Like the day before filming Ridley Scott switched the roles. I wonder what would have happened if he didnt?
If you want to watch the series you watch the prequel ""Prometheus" NEXT. then you watch the sequel ALIENS. I tell every youtuber this but no one listens. maybe u be the first. Prometheus tell u all about the Aliens. Be sure to get the fully deleted directors cut . its available on youtube u can play it at the end, but do that! It will answer all the questions your now asking.
Aliens is very good. I think the rest are junk others will disagree. ok that its for now.
