Not just a cut. A lifetime in the making. Rare edit, and created over 5 months with assembly footage.
I went with an editing theme of hierarchy transmissions between people, an extraterrestrial transmission signal received, and an old mechanical ship transmission with bad repair issues -- to make deleted scenes work within the main cut.
Did my best to time a repeated "12 seconds" of the acoustical beacon sound -- redesigned sample structure (something new, that I wanted to do for many years). So honored about the final result.
Dedicated to Ridley Scott and the ALIEN team. Enjoy! Sounds great on responsive headphones.

After listening to a signal like that, screw the money.
Yup, i'd be voting no pay, staying on board, then job would be to defeat Ash's quarantine breach and bug out - call it even...
They didnt know what was waiting down there
Well crafted film , suspenseful , great cast , luvit
Let's not talk about the bonus situation, let's just go back to the freezerinos.
What signal? I didn't hear anything. Lets go home!
Sounds like a real conversation. Man I miss the older films.
+no lesbians/gays and forced sex scenes
@@winstondelaurier8239 It's funny to year you say this, because back in 1979 this movie was "PC marxism" by portraying not just 1, but 2 competent lady scientists (smart, not there to look pretty and show tits) and by having one of those women be the only survivor!
If you write dialogue for a screenplay like this today, it will get edited af!
Yes, it did sound like a real conversation, but in other movies from that time it is the same empty dialogue as today.
Directors seem so intent on getting everyone to do the exact words on the script, and the personality is lost. I realize that going off script is risky, but the best movies have moments in there that were not planned. I just learned that the scene of Forrest Gump running across America was paid for by Tom Hanks himself, because he wanted it in the movie. Everyone else nixed it but since Tom paid for it, they went ahead and filmed it. That film has paid for itself over and over, and made millions for everyone. Tom Hanks took that scene and negotiated with the studio to pay him a higher percentage, and the gamble paid off.
Characters realistically talking under their breath, talking over each other, interrupting, etc. From what I understand, it's very hard for audio engineers to work with this kind of dialogue, but it definitely lends more believability into a sci-fi situation.
If you use a good audio set up, this realistic dialogue scene is quite simple to capture. Back then, it was perhaps "more difficult" without individual lav-microphones we'd use today. Good topic. 🎥👏
With good prep and team work among the crew it's entirely possible to capture all those ranges of voice. You just need to not be lazy and think ahead.
How did they make such a believable film even now
Yeah, the performances in this film felt so much more authentic compared to most other 70's sci-fi like Logan's Run, Soylent Green, Silent Running, etc. In those films the acting and dialogue felt very old school hollywood, if you know what I mean.
@@wheresthelotion6734Alien was the first film that treated space as a mere workplace instead of something awesome. These people spent most of their lives in the freezers, transporting cargo, and not looking out of the windows ala Star Trek.
So, the conversation was between two competing interests: Brett and Parker were there to fix the ship, and if nothing needed fixing, they would go back to sleep. Ash and Dallas representing the company line. Ripley and Lambert watching the show.
Casting in this film was impeccable.
Most definitely. Masterpiece film. 🏆
What was great was that there were no « mega stars ». So we had no way of knowing who would survive.
And who did survive? A woman!
But they never let women be action heroes…
Yeah, let's go investigate the beacon that sounds like a nightmare. You can count me out!
"Oh yeah, sure! With those things runnin' around? You can count me out!"
“I guess we can count you out of everything!”
“I’ll go.......I’ll go.....”
Lol!
Even as a kid, I had the same exact thoughts...There is no way in hell that I would have gone there to check that signal out on site.
@@abbaszaidi8371 " I mean I'm the only one qualified to remote pilot the ship anyway."
That distress signal sounds genuinely upsetting. Amazing sound design.
If I heard that beacon, I'd head for Jupiter.
It sounds like an animal's scream you'd hear late at night. If you've ever heard a fox screaming at night, it's like that. Something primal about the fear it instills.
So you don’t buy that it was a warning signal to stay away?
It sounds... alien.
A shrieking banshee comes to mind.
This is the sound we all associate with the Alien franchise. And yet… I never knew it was the sound of the signal they received. Unbelievable. I own every version of this film in extended format: dvd, Blu-ray, 40th in 4K. I own the soundtrack. I’ve never heard or seen this scene, anywhere. And it’s terrifying.
I'm glad you enjoyed it so. ☕🐢
Who set that distress signal?
It was sent by those huge humanoids that were attacked by the aliens.
The ones we see in Prometheus.
Same!! I’ve been obsessed with the Alien franchise and have seen the movies over and over and over. And I never knew that was the distress transmission. So chilling. 😮
@@jrag1000 according to the novelization its not a distress signal. Its a warning.
That's what Giger's art SOUNDS like......
Indeed.
Great comment.
Giger was messed up in the head. His art clearly shows it.
Oddly, it's also very much what last night's migraine headache sounded like. Ugh.
I always thought it would sound like an erect penis knocking on anything in the room.
1979 Alien and 1986 Aliens are still best horror and Sc-Fi movies ever made and will remain classic and iconic forever ...
Totally agree. Very well said! 👏
I agree 100% that they Alien is one of the absolute best sci-fi horror movies ever made. But let's hope that eventually a movie comes along that might rival it. Alien is almost Lovecraftian in that the nature of the terror is universal and timeless, no question. But that is literature, where the imagination fills in the details. In terms of the silver screen, what people found scary in the 1950s is not scary today. Is it possible that biotech and genetic engineering would make Alien not as scary in a few decades? What sort of onscreen terror might one day rival the Alien xenomorph?
In your very humble opinion
Mostly agree. 2001 was pretty good.
Alien 3 is just as iconic & interesting!!!! It's underrated IDC what u idiots say about it
This movie was so good. The character interactions seemed believable and natural, the tension ratcheted up beautifully, and the director didn't flinch at having drawn-out, quiet sequences to create the atmosphere of isolation and mystery.
Yes...the acting was brilliantly done....everyone including Ripley.
agreed - this was very believable and felt completely genuine and real
Yeah modern film makers seem to have to fill every second with dialogue, overly loud music, or explosions. They lack atmosphere and tension, and always feel in a rush. Give the audience time to process the situation.
@@zerodarkthirty1045 "Engineer". Dead Engineer. In the script, Dallas turned off the signal when they investigate the dead Engineer. Also in the graphic novel, which is amazing. ❤️👾🛸❗❤️
The audience in the 70s was a different breed as well. None of the fractured attention spans you see of most people today. They could tolerate sitting and watching a film develop it's atmosphere without feeling like they need a hit every few minutes.
I'm such a huge fan of the acting in this movie. Great actors. So natural and believable.
The black guy amuses me in this scene when he's laughing and is like 'right!', and 'we're going in' and hitting the other guy in the chest. The contrast in characters is great.
Even just this scene drags you in.
Thomas Dunkley Yeah, esp. the facial look of Lambert, so natural, that embarrassed fear~~
Yep each character had their own real personalities and flaws. Made all so much a real good movie. Nothing like the crap they produce today!
@@Thor_Underdunk_Caballerial Yaphet Kotto is a great actor.
Old school sci fi stuff.
No overload of ridiculous CGI's, just good old sci fi stuff at its best.
CGI can be fantastic and phenomenal when used WELL as some movies have proven TO do, it's just some movies over use it too much where it becomes a big problem!
For the record, the real sound is alot more underwhelming than this. It's probably the best movie I've ever seen, but there's a couple weak points - the distress sound, and the special effects when the alien is blasted out into space - anytime you saw too much of the alien, the effects show their age
"Let's send Ash - he's the Science Officer"
"Yah - great idea. Send Ash."
Hilarious. I totally get it. ☕👏
@G E T R E K T 905 Watch your fingers
@G E T R E K T 905 In 19 minutes this area is going to be a cloud of vapour the size of Nebraska
Well. he's the only one qualified to remote the ship anyway, right?
Too funny!!!
John Hurt, Harry Dean Stanton, Ian Holm, Yaphet Kotto... May all Rest In Peace.
The sequence of their passing is the same as the sequence of how they were killed on the Nostromo.
@@knife-wieldingspidergod5059 I didn't need to know that
The more I watch Alien, the more I feel Parker is my favourite character in the film. Koto plays him brilliantly, and the way the other characters interact with him makes him even more compelling.
He really was a fantastic character actor.
Yes. The movie was very spooky to me...esp entering the alien ship!
He had a lot of good old common sense. I did stop to think he should've killed the baby alien right then and there, as he was the only one with the natural instinct to grab something to kill it.
@@isabelag. The gum - smacking bandana - wearing flamethrower - fabricating blue collar engineer buddy also strongest human on the ship and the only one besides Ripley who gave the Xenomorph a good fight.
Mine was Veronica Cartwright, she was by far the most convincing for me in her portrayal of fear fighting with herself to keep it together and her character is consistent, she is the most uncomfortable even before the danger emerges and expresses it with her entire body language.
From the Alien’s perspective, this movie is “Die Hard”
on easy mode ;)
So it's a Christmas movie?
Yippee-ki-yay, Ripley.
we're going to need more weyland yutani guys i guess.
haha that is so true! Barefoot and everything..
What is amazing about this film is once Brett is taken and you realise the alien is huge it never lets you relax for a second, the feeling of helplessness and terror from the crew is palpable, they don’t get a break so the audience doesn’t get one either. It is an absolute masterpiece.
Wholeheartedly agree. Bravo! 👏
Want something creepier? John Hurt died, THEN Harry Dean Stanton. Remind you of anything?
@@JnEricsonx Great actors. 👏
@Evilmike42 Yeah. If he'd died in November that would have been utterly creepy.
I'll never forget the first time I saw this movie. By the final scenes, I was actually sweating bullets and my breathing was erratic. I've never been so stressed out by any film before or since. This is truly a masterpiece of suspenseful filmmaking. I always cite it as the perfect example of a sci-fi/horror/suspense blend in film.
I absolutely love the way Brett says "So what?" with parkers accompanying laughter. Also that transmission sounds absolutely terrifying.
I love how Lambert always looks mildly annoyed by literally everything and everyone around her at all times.
Well, she should be. Her little sister has been lost in space since the mid-1960's
@@anthonylegore1517I see what ya did there haha.
She's been in space too long, she probably just needs to get laid
She's a good screamer too, in the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers she finds her hubby's duplicate body forming and freaks out.
She actually has a line in the film, "I like griping..."
That scream sound is scary af, no one in their rightful mind would go check that out, especially in the deep unknown darkness that is outer space.
Don't go inside the haunted house. ☕
That is the sound that warns you to avoid LV426
at all costs!
Contractual obligation plus they though there will be some reward money
No shit, when you hear that you turn the ship the other way and stomp on the gas
It works perfectly in the movie trailer
Alien. The Thing. Aliens. Predator.
The Mount Rushmore of Sci Fi horror.
Agree with the first three. Not sure Predator belongs in that list. A good flick for sure but a little schmaltzy...
The first two fine, but the last two aren’t “horror.” Not one bit.
Maybe put Event Horizon on the list.
I agree with the first two. The last two are just action movies. Good and entertaining but nothing more.
I always felt the dialogue and the way the crew/actors interact with each other felt so natural and real. Maybe its the use of silence and obviously a testament to what are amazing actors, but I really felt like I was watching real conversations.
This film is part of the last “golden age of cinema” the 1970’s.
When film making was a true art form and they had a bevy of brilliant young actors to carry these character driven films.
This is what I loved about Alien, making everyone a real person. The maintenance guys are concerned about their pay cheques as they know doing anything special will end up furthering the officers careers, not the grease monkeys. Needless to say, they also know they will be the ones catching the broken bits as they fall off and putting them back on. More work, no glory. Thanks for posting!
God bless Yaphet Kotto and Harry Dean Stanton. Those two actors really rounded out this stellar cast, unlike any other duo.
The script gives away Shusett and O'Bannon must have hated Unions 😉
A whole lot of thought gone into fleshing out every character
@@chriscorley6478 I agree. They had great chemistry together.
Absolutely. How many horror films have you watched dozens of times? This one holds up so well because it's also a very effective and credible human drama, because so much work went into creating such engaging characters.
Best film, direction, cast, design, acting, sound, music and script ever - even Jonesy the cat puts in the performance of a lifetime :)
Loved the fact that Ripley wasn’t the only survivor of Alien as Jonesy got out as well. So with 8 lives left Jonesy could have ridden out the whole franchise!
Sounds like a warning to me.
Ripley was right... ☕
Ripley was the only one with common sense !
@@hyphxyz5581 Even today it shows the dumbasses are the one that destroy everything...
Hudson may be right.
It was...
Damn....now I wanna watch this movie..for the 10 millionith time again..Its so good.
Plat Alien Isolation game. Really captures the mood...
I meant to write "Play" :)
Totally , it's a keeper
Great movie to watch late at night before bed. Sweet dreams!
That transmission is terrifying this is a masterful film
Look at Lambert's face during the distress call - she's absolutely terrified. She's thinking 'Please don't make us go down there and check this out'. Wonderful acting in this film from everyone. Start to finish.
Poor Lambert probably the smartest of them all but noone will listen to her
@@markgonzales8778 : Veronica Cartwright was excellent in this role, although they did screw around with her a bit to make things even more frightening.
Agreed. She hears her death in that sound.
@@markgonzales8778 It's been decades since I've seen Alien, but wasn't Lambert the one who insisted to Ripley that she let them back on board, even though they were carrying a clearly dangerous alien and that would violate quarantine regulations?
@@michaeltamada1461 no it was Dallas but if they're of listened to her they're of got the hell out of there before anything happened but then we wouldn't of had the movie lol
Back in 1979 they were way ahead of us.
They are talking about earthly Contracts waaaaaaay out in the Boondocks, decades well beyond anyone reading our comments in 2020 will ever live.
@dyy Fethiiyhn Bugger it man, just get some kind of helium or whatever thingy with a camera on it that goes 25 miles up and stick on this website.
@@Kelly14UK Yup, the first Alien movie takes place 102 years from now in the year 2122.
@@ulysses2162 I think 2122 is highly optimistic given the direction western countries are going. Unless there's another world war, technology isn't progressing fast enough.
@@ulysses2162 I think you may be right. Aliens is set in the 2170s or so, when Ripley got picked up after decades adrift.
Jonesy the cat was a great actor.
Loved the way he kept pawsing between his lines.
Smartest character in the entire franchise one of two to survive the first movie, and smart enough not to get back on the ship.
@fat cabbage He went back with Ripley in Aliens and stayed on earth...died a happy Cat some 60 years later (50 years cryo sleep) fathering 1,000+ kittens..
This isn't even a joke, I mean considering the 70s had some weird tv shows including trained dolphins and bears, Jonesy probably paved the way for trained cats, and to me and my dad Jonesy stole scenes from the alien just cuz how dang cute he was
There were apparently 4 cats.....When Sigourney Weaver seemed to be allergic to the cats...they considered replacing her....not the cats!.....Turned out she was allergic to the makeup.
Rip John Hurt, Ian Holm, Yaphet Kotto, and Harry Dean Stanton. I enjoy watching Alien and grown to like it more as get older now that I am 36 years old.
@DanielBarrett5464
"After listening to a signal like that, screw the money."
*It's just Engineer language.*
This movie is timeless. Every actor is completely believable in this film. I love it, and the score is amazing.
Imagine it now. Everyone would be a steroid bursting action man women...There would be one in wheelchair, two homosexuals one lesbian and the robot would side with IS**IS. F**** up politics should stay away from movies!!!
I saw this movie when I was 11, scared me near to death. Still the scariest movie I've ever seen 40 years later.
I agree. It's such a shocking, intelligent sci-fi film to get scared by.
Nothing comes close 😎
I was 8 when I saw this (in 1979).
My older brother was 9 when Alien came out (I was only 2), he snuck into the theater with his friends. Said it nearly actually scared the shit right outta him, the opening title music alone he knew it was gonna be intense. The first time I saw it I felt the exact same way!
That’s how i feel about The Exorcist
A 20 second deleted scene in Alien is more compelling than most of the entire catalogue of made for kids "sci-fi" we get these days.
I'd recommend all Cloverfield movies, Underwater (2020), Upgrade (2018), and KIN (2018) as of late. Pretty good sci-fi. Many more. But, Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986) can't ever be beat. 🎥🤔
This deleted scene is better than the entirety of the Star Trek and Star Wars remakes.
@@chriscorley6478 john goodman as a villain wow thats a mind bender isnt it lmao
Spot on.
Just saw the director's cut. Feels completely different
It’s power has not diminished. I can’t think of any other film that holds up so well.....41 years .....wow...✌️
Night Of The Living Dead , JAWS & Alien all hold up perfectly to this day especially because they are all basically period pieces & two out of the tree were actually filmed in those time periods so they are perfect & completely realistic & plausible the way they are so there's no need to remake them ever👍
They should’ve kept that scene in, the signal sounded so unsettling
I'm actually glad they didn't. By revealing the "unknown signal" that simply "repeats", especially with this "screaming" signal that was so prevalent in the trailers and tv ads, it foreshadows too much. I love the quiet slow build of the mystery, so that when Kane (Hurt) touches the egg we can believe he's willing to do so because he hasn't heard anything that would have hinted at a warning.
This is exactly what it should have been in the original film cut, that beacon sound.
is this not on the directors cut either?? feel like somehow have seen this but ever since hollywood videos and blockbusters have closed, only get to see what they put on certain streaming platforms.
But that sound since can remember back in the early tv first trailers, where the egg hatched open and this sound got more intense while Ripley was running down the halls of the Nostromo, that shall always be the foundation of what made it so amazing and have always searched for it but only seems to be on this video now and want to thank you for sharing this video with the world X) Hope you have a good one
I'm am sure I saw a trailer with this beacon sound and didn't realise it was the transmission on an old VHS tape.
@@lamueldagon7618 Yeah, I have definitely heard it before on an Alien trailer.
@@lamueldagon7618It isn’t. That sound has been dubbed over the scene here deliberately. The actual original scene and its sound can be found here:
ruclips.net/video/9UwYJRj2Zao/видео.html
@@mccleod6235 Wasn't it the ship alarm sound though? This doens't sound like the original theatrical cut or whatever we saw on TV. Here is 1979 vs 2003 director's cut:
ruclips.net/video/9UwYJRj2Zao/видео.html
You recognize a truly great film when 40 years on, someone spends 5 months on re-editing & piecing together with assembly footage 12 seconds of brilliant acting, direction, scoring, lighting & sound effects.
Oh, I edited much more than just "12 seconds" in this revised scene. You're getting it correct though. -- Like many fans, I grew up with this masterpiece classic, then I graduated from film college in order to reach a professional career within our very complicated Guilded Industry. I do appreciate your kind recognition. 🎥🐈
@@chriscorley6478 Thanks for doing it.
No CGI. Just movie making by innovation, care and effort. And THAT'S why it's special.
Years before its time. Masterpiece.
No CGI in the 1970s - same with Star Wars - but it's hilarious seeing interstellar travel run by DOS computers.
Even over 40 years after i first saw this the big buttons and clicky tech just works perfectly in this setting. So much more interesting than the stuff in new films.
Agreed.
By far in my top 5 sci-fi movies ever made… the actors, she sets, music you name it… still watch this movie from time to time..
This was more like a Hitchcock film while Aliens was more like Rambo. I loved both. Each had their merits. Bill Paxton and other new characters really helped make Aliens a great film. Back when character development meant something. Now there is none at all, just CGI.
These films are masterful, but there's still plenty of good character development in modern film too -- even those with CGI. 🐦
Yes, they called Ripley a Rambette.
I’m terrified all over again just watching this clip.
Shivers
Yes, indeed.
THE ACTING, THE SOUNDS, EVERYTHING
Such memorable characters, every one. This movie is brilliant.
I agree.
@Spencer Lao Brett lol
The plot of this movie is just awesome
I agree 💯
Well done. The distress call really adds to the atmosphere. Chilling.
It's amazing how different the two movies are from each other. _Alien_ really emphasizes the vastness, isolation, loneliness and terror of space.
Two excellent films, indeed.
Why would they not include this. It's hauntingly beautiful and sets the tone perfectly.
They added this in the trailer
Man, it's awesome! It changes everything. The crew is terrified.
Lambert's eyes say so much...
As a 1979 hardcore fan, I thank you for this goosebumps moment. You got me !
Nobody in the history of film has played terrified better than Veronica Cartwright.
Sigourney Weaver, Ian Holm and John Hurt. Jesus. By today's standards this would be an extremely high-profile cast.
By 1979 standards too..
Sigourney was just starting her career, so she was a beginner compared to the other six, who were all experienced actors. Nonetheless they all did a great job.
Also the legend Harry Dean Stanton. But some of the cast weren't huge names at the time -- rather became later.
@@jssalonen Yes, an excellent cast overall. That chest bursting scene scared the Hell out of me while I was watching it in the theatre. I was 16. We all thought everything was OK, but it was not.
@@antonboludo8886 it's so realistic it's scary
Veronica Cartwright is always brilliant
Now THAT"S the "Sound" I felt should have been used in the movie as the alien distress signal! I was 15 when ALIEN came out and I could not mistake that Sound when the commercial aired on TV. I would hear that from another room and go in to see the commercial, was that hyped to see it. That Sound alone was brilliant because it's so disturbing. I think if the Nostromo crew heard THAT, there would have been NO movie!
I've never been a horror fan, but ALIEN is one of my all-time faves.
Much appreciated. The "Sound" fills the crew's environment with more anxiety -- and foreshadow. You get a sense of dread, thereby making it a truly horrifying experience. I'm glad you enjoyed it. ☕
I just found that out too! I recognized it from the trailer as well, but I never knew it was the message itself. So cool. Why did they leave that out in the first place?? That scene is brilliant. I was watching the scene and I thought to myself: "this is still all in the original movie... this too... oh wait, this is not in it!". Good to find more Alien geeks :) Happy alien day! (almost)
I saw this when I was in my early 20s and when the chestburster appeared I almost lost my lunch. But I do agree, this scene should be put back into the film. The utter creepiness of the sound of the beacon is just unnerving.
It would have been awesome. Man they missed one here
The soundtrack in this movie is so amazing, eerie and mysterious. I love it.
Listening to that gave shivers up and down my spine. Screw the space guidelines.
the lead ups of this film are SO terrifying. The sounds, visuals... NIGHTMARES!!!
rogerg0834 in space... no one can hear you scream 😱
I saw the movie when I was 19 year old that night didn't sleep at all,I was still hearing that distress signal in my head.
One of the best sci-fi movies ever made, still gives me the creeps to this day.Brilliant. Don't make them like that anymore.😱💀👀
An incredible cast that took the whole script seriously. This is why it sounds so authentic and natural.
Just look at how more “real” the entire situation seems in respect of today’s stupid CGI filled crap.
The practical effects and filmmaking of Alien (1979) are exceptional. Although, there are some really good CGI studios and CGI based films we all love too. But, I hear what you are saying -- some films do have crappy CGI, where "practical techniques" would work much better. 🎥😄
It’s like practical effects are becoming a lost art
CGI just doesn't scare me. This movie did. When shes running through the halls with the self destruct signal, her footsteps and panicked breathing....damn. I know what I'm watching tonight.
@keith cunningham Correction. It was a big budget for its time. The equivalent of about $48 million today. A significant amount back in 1978, when produced. 🎥🤔
Have you seen PROSPECT? A recent sci-fi with a lot of practical believable effects? (ALIEN and ALIENS are GREAT)
WAY creepier than the transmission in the movie.
Still the best movie ever made, it took its time and was dripping with atmosphere, the signal in this changes the feeling somewhat into one of fear.
music is perfect... just tells you theyre alone, theyre thousands of light years away from anything, and theyre drifting into horror through a black empty sea
I like “Aliens” as well.
The cat was like.. fuck that guys!!! don’t go!!!
For 1979 the future technology depiction is still very good.
Why would future screens display ones and zeros though.
its early star wars good... gritty and believable
Same humans, devo said devolution
Commodore forever !
What about A Space Odyssey from 1968?
Wicked movie no CGI back then
Right on brother! Alien (1979) is a classic masterpiece, using solid practical filmmaking methods. ☕
Wrong. CGI (Computer generated Imagery) Has been used in various ways since the 1960's. This movie included.
@@FabledGentleman It wasn't as good or widely used as it is now. CGI is depended upon way too much these days..
@@galaxytraveler5779 Of course. But that does not make his statement correct. There were CGI back then.

@@leeinwisthey were dead either way. Ash would have killed them all if they didn't go in. 😊
Now i understand why Kane says Good God...

This sets the scene so much nicer for me. And that infernal sound they used in the trailers now has a context! Thank you for the hard work!
You're welcome. Thank you so much for your appreciation. More work is on the way.
Ridley is a great director, he just let the actors do their job and filmed it.
Ian Holm played the perfect android, too bad his performance was underrated.
Ash (Ian Holm) changed the game, as did the collective entire film. ☕
He seemed a bit twitchy.
The Paralex View According to “Bishop”, the Hyperdymes model 120 A2 were twitchy.
In my opinion, all the cast in this movie is topnotch, including of course Ian Holm's Ash.
@@kennymendoza1581 Right.....
Masterclass in directing/acting: Veronica Cartwright blocking, slightly out of focus and then, just started the distressing call, gets the focus on her discomfort.
What a scene...
They should've left this in the movie. It would've creeped out everyone to have that blasting in the theater.
It’s just the trailer audio dubbed onto the scene (including the music!). Real scene is here:

@@bonglesnodkins329 Yes! Thank you.
Lambert knew instantly this was bad news
I'd almost forgotten the "Nostromo" picked up a distress call completely out of the black, I thought they were most of the way home when this happened. Excellent work.
Worst wake-up call EVER!!! ☕
My theory is that Weyland-Yutani mapped out course routes for its ships with the underlying goal of finding the signal. The Nostromo and her crew just happened to draw the short straw. Would also fit why the investigation clause was in their contracts.

Damn great character! 🍺
Sure you are spot on correct, but EVERYONE in the cast was so marvelous, real, and totally believable .
I wish Parker didn’t die. 😢
I liked the way he knew how to shut up. You can't blame a guy for trying.
Yaphet Kotto is terrific in this film. This and Midnight run are two of my favourites movies ever.
*hears the signal
Ripley: Well, that was absolutely fucking terrifying. Can we go back to our pods now?
Ripley: C'mon. It's sleep-in Saturday. 😴
But Ash:
Actually no, you are contracted to obey section 52: Any systematic signs of intelligence life as this call is, being probably a distress call, must be investigated. You will loose money, the salary you just live on. Nobody gonna pay you for this trip. I will be compelled to report it, you know, company doesn't like such things...
I can 100% confirm, there's no fucking way I would be going to view whatever the hell put that signal out. Sounds like someone opened the gates of hell and tried to place an order for a pizza.

They opened the gate of hell and learned that they serve pizza with anchovies for the eternity.
@@Endru85x Pizza with baby facehuggers!!! AAAAAHHHH!!!
"I wanna go home and party" Like it's 2049.
Beware of dangerous Replicants. ☕
This signal actually matches up the best with how disturbed and unsettled Lambert looks
This movie was light years ahead of its time...
They don't make movies like this anymore. Great movie!
Alien (1979) is a true masterpiece.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A GOOD SCRIPT MEETS GOOD ACTORS...AND A DASH OF LUCK (Giger)...is thrown into the sauce; A NEAR PERFECT MOVIE.
C'est magnifique! A fantastic recipe.
I remember when I first saw this movie I hated Parker at the beginning. By the end of the movie he was by far my favorite character
Parker rocks!!!
Alien.
What a charming delight of a movie.
Perfect cast (incl. Jonesy!)
Yes, they all did a great job.
Two of the greatest/scariest films ever made, shocking tbh. I watched them far too young, thinking no problem Lol. They done it's job to scare the hell out of me. The terror, fear, tension, realism makes it pure horror. Both are groundbreaking masterpieces way ahead of it's time.
Such a great slow build, don't even see the alien until over an hour in I believe and even then they're just as worried about the acid reaching the outer layer of the ship as the alien, not many movies today would care about details so much
the alien has 5 minutes screen-time. and it works well.
If they didn't investigate it, there would be no movie...
And so we enter the first act of narrative conflict... 🎥☕ _c.
Unlucky bastards...
Find the school play Alien, it's amazing ( with Ms. Weaver in the audience ), watch how the audience reacts- it's priceless.
Now, consider how it was in 1979 when I was in a movie theatre and the opening scene unfurls. This movie is Terrifying when Ripley runs back to retrieve Jonesy you may ask how many of us would have also. The climax when she's in the suit and she's mumbling like a frighten small child just nailed me. I love this Masterpiece.
But..all this would not have been possible without the brilliance of :
H.R.Giger
All very true, including the directorial brilliance of Ridley Scott specifically selecting H.R. Giger's designs to compliment this masterpiece sci-fi film. Ridley was responsible for that major successful design collaboration, and more. Excellent studio teamwork at 20th Century Fox, from start to finish. 🎥 _c.
I snuck in at age 11...loved the movie but had nightmares for years! Lol
Got to see it in theaters when they re-released it in theaters several years ago. It was glorious.
That transmission is only slightly less off-putting than the distress call in Event Horizon.
if I heard that and they told me to go to it, I'd say "ok I give up my shares"
*Turns screen off showing orgy of torture, rape and cannibalism*
"We're leaving"
Event Horizon had visual shock. Repulsive, but intriguing. You almost want to see it. This was aural. Completely visceral, and I still remember the ads when it came out. Part of the marmoset in you wants to hide. Part of the predator in you wishes dragons sounded like this. Imagine humans with a fully developed coronoid and keel. Heh.
This was...scarier. Far better. EH was cool, but Alien was a better movie and and had a better plot.
Save me, er, I mean save yourself.
Will K that’s as far in the film I ever saw that bit scared me shitless didn’t sleep for a week
If I heard that, I would probably say, *_let's get out of here_* and tell them that *_it ain't worth our lives!_*
Exactly! It took me some editing time to figure it out, but had so much fun revisiting this rare scene.
Not really. That android was still being rational. Everything he said was rational. Even reply wasn't questioning because she knows the clause too. If reply was the captain, she would have done the same. later when that android disobeyed reply's order and let them all in, they should have arrested that android.
Spooky shit. Saw this in the theater, scared the Hell outta me.
This is the mother of all Alien movies.
I mean there was only two Alien movies. And some later fan fiction.
What a great and horrifying movie. And what an awesome cast. I've been a Ridley Scott fan ever since!
Even the inside of the Nostromo is so Giger-esque
Alien (1979) is so ahead of its time. Some excellent design work indeed.
@Emmanuel Goldstein Then, Syd Mead and Ron Cobb helped design Aliens (1986) with James Cameron / Gale Anne Hurd producing. Great material. 🎥🤔
Giger only designed all extra terrestrial stuff
Ron Cobb and Chris Foss designed all the human technology
It was clever idea to use different designers for different aspects.
No, it is NOT.
@@Cronoviajero Look at some of the hallways with the padding. Looks like the hive. That's what I was referring to.
Siempre me impresionó el casting de este film. Son actores magnificos
When sci-fi movies scared the audience!
Everything about this sequence is superb. I was lucky enough to see the film on its first release, and have rewatched it many, many times since. I think I’m only beginning to realise how great Veronica Cartwright is in this film generally, and this scene in particular. Her face (particularly her voice):and her voice are so expressive. Although I’m not sure I’m getting the right words, I think this scene, by foregrounding her face, let’s us look at a mirror of our own increasing dread. The electronic illumination of the lower part of her face is very eerie and unearthly.
Certainly a great framework... 🎥🍹
Sublime use of the original teaser trailer. It makes perfect sense this was why the sound was originally created, then dropped after Ridley edited the scene out. So the sound we associate as the "79 beacon" was most likely an on-set placeholder so the actors had something to react to, which was a common method and something Ridley was doing througout the production to get natural performances. Remember - the tagline on the original teaser poster is "fair warning"
Your theory is appreciated. They put me into a cryo-freeze sleeper, to awake and edit this together nearly 40 years later. I immediately said, "yes" to the mission.
This is one of my favourite science fiction movies. Just classic.
