True. Superior actress for sure. The amount of depth she conveys in her performance stands way above anything Hollywood has brought up recently when it comes to "strong female characters".
I agree. But check out the movie "Kate" and Mary Elizabetth Winstead and see if you don't think there's at least SOMEone who could MAYBE be a close second...
This movie has become my favorite Alien film. I love all of them. But this one I probably have watched the most over the last three decades. The soundtrack for this one is also one of my favorites of all the Alien films. It is just beautiful.
@@MrJC1 totally agree. The line in the film.... '..... Arse end of space'. Perfect. The place feels to be some utter dump quadrant of space long ignored and forgotten. The atmosphere of the movie is superb.
There is a work print you can find on Russian and European sites that contains several missing and alternate scenes. But it’s not 3 hours long, is just 2 hours long. The best scene of all of them is when Ripley plugs Bishop back to power to ask him about what happened in the Sulaco. He confesses he took the egg back to the ship while the events of Aliens were taking place.
@@acfan8253 wow - is that true? that is so amazing :D On the one hand disappointing since it repeats the plot twist from the original Alien, but also interesting because it shifts guilt for the plot from human greed to ruthless AI - as if Ripley's true nemesis is not "the Alien" but "untrustworthy AI men" :D
Cast members and crew have said Fincher was very short tempered and patronizing during the shoot. He had a bad attitude. He wanted to have 20 takes of every scene, no matter how trivial.
@@type026 Special effects crew members said Fincher was moody and ill tempered. He called their first Bishop puppet "a joke" because it malfunctioned in rehearsals. They had to redo it.

It’s interesting hearing the on set dialogue. You can quite clearly hear the differences in delivery and timing. Funny thing is, if you never saw this you’d never realise the amount of ADR the actors ended up doing in the final versions.
Alien 3 gets a lot of hate, and I understand that. Even though the first two are probably in my top 10, I really enjoyed 3. I liked how they brought back a single xenomorph and the atmosphere was super claustrophobic and dark like in the first film. It also terrified me growing up how the runner moved super quick and on all fours like a big cat.
The two things that sunk A3 were killing off two popular main characters essentially “off screen” and the story itself was lackluster in comparison to the first two movies.
@@penguinsfan9192 Glad that we have the Assembly Cut. Is not perfect but make the movie a good sequel and a very decent final to the franchise. I prefer to think that Alien ends in the 2nd movie with everyone alive and the 3rd movie is a 2nd timeline. The others sequels and prequels never existed🤣.
It's always a good sign when you include interview snippets of cast members from the PREVIOUS two films. Some people see admirable things about Alien 3 and I definitely respect that, but I absolutely despise it.
With the major plotholes(esp. the odd egg in the Sulaco) and the unwise decision to kill off Hicks & Newt aside, Alien 3 was actually pretty great in its own right IMO, and gave Ripley a honorable end albeit a brutally tragic one. Weaver, Dutton, Dance and Henriksen's performances were amazing, and the artistic and philosophical depth as well as Goldenthal's soundtrack really gave it an operatic feel reminiscent to that of Wagner and Puccini's. Now it lacked some things of its 2 epic prequels, but is still a quality film in its own right!
are you one of those who are bummed about the lack of shooting in _Alien 3?_ it's not exactly like _Alien_ was a wall-wall action spectacle, you know. not saying _Alien 3_ is a great or even GOOD movie, it's just . . . maybe try to abandon some of your preconceived notions on what can make a good horror (or even ACTION) movie. maybe try! that's all!
The long awaited troubled production of the "Alien'" trilogy was nominated for an Oscar for best achievement in visual effects in 1993, but lost to "Death Becomes Her."
I don’t think this film is a let down at alll!!!! The one after..can’t remember it’s name, Alien Covenant....WTF!!! I don’t think 🤔 I understand “Prometheus” yet which I liked but to hear Sigourney describe the 4th film as the film she doesn’t talk about says a lot!!! I’m an 80’s child and I was blown away by a women being “shit scared” but being able to save herself and others regardless! I was a young woman and she has shaped my life ever since 👌🏾🙋🏾♀️👍🏾😊👏🏾👏🏾💜
I hate the remastered, re-released, digital remakes of movies. It makes everything look cheap IMO. Give me actual film anyday. Like the re-release of Jaws, sounds like a horrid idea, The old school film has a feel and mood to it.
I love the first 4 films in the franchise, they all entertain me in their own unique way. I've never understood the negativity towards Alien 3, because I thought it was a worthy follow up to the previous two.
Fuck....yes she did.Very strage,I gues a mistake.By the way I am comming here after listening to the audiobook alien 3.Highly recommended if you are a fan!Really good.Try it and ride back to shere opinion.Take kare!
yes, this was a far flight from Aliens, and making it really BRILLIANT. though kind of way out from a normal storyline...Alien3 is superb. And killing Ripley in the end was a unique story / plot idea. And we still don't know what will happen next. When I watched the film in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii (Big Island) during my School of Writing at the University of the Nations, I was into fiction & film -- this film gave me a screaming sensation though I felt 'dismayed' why Ripley died in a suicide mood. But in 1998, I was taken into a very surprising situation yet a refreshing emotion grew out inside me that Ripley is back ... this time as a clone. What a marvelous cinematic coup !!! Thank you guys for bringing these up all from Alien1, Alien2, Alien3 and Alien4. It made my day really...
One mistake made by Fincher was the decision to have scenes shot from the Alien's point of view. I've seen it done in other films and it never works. It destroys the illusion and fear of being pursued.
Strangely enough looking at the totality of the Alien series "3" isn't the worst from a conceptual standpoint. The execution leaves much to be desired with that said.
Weaver wanted or had a postponement clause paying 40,000 dollars for re-shaving if she had to shave her hair again, but Fox and the makeup studio art effect crew had other plans and instead made a 16,000 dollar wig. Pretty torn from her and as Co-producer.
@@Mario_N64 I don't know but it's possible. As co-producer she had half inteference in the third movie and when she becomes from the studio for another haircut 40,000 dollars. But the studio gives her not the money after that she was frustrated. Of course she wasn't not again make a movie with guns and action like the second one in the 80s.
i don't at all want to come off condescending to a person i'd consider a genuine visual genius, but . . . you know how sometimes you look at somebody and can't at all connect their outward persona with the horrible, dark and disturbed work they do? yeah. with H.R. GIGER i just sorta go . . . "Well, yeah. Yup, that fits."
Apple NYC I totally agree with your assessment. It changed the tenor of the film actually and not for the better. There was something bothersome about it and it threw the rest of the film off for me and I couldn't really move past it. I imagine it was one of those scenes that hopefully the Director and Editor fought about and the Director won solely because it helped move the film along otherwise neither are good at their respective craft.
This has to be a prop of Clemens‘ head, the eyes and nose look very much like his in the first place. But what definitely gives it away are the distinct headwound and the plastic around the head and neck of the body. In the movie Clemens is grabbed from behind by the Alien through the plastic curtain. When it lifts him up and turns him around, his neck and head get half wrapped in the curtain. Then the Alien deals the deadly headbite with its inner jaw, but doesn’t hit the forehead. Instead the jaw strikes through the doctor’s left temple, the exact same spot where the prop‘s wound is. When the Alien lets go of his body, dead Clemens hits the ground, head both covered by and half wrapped in the curtain. I‘m guessing that the unfinished scene @19:42 was originally meant to take place after the carnage at the dining hall, when the prisoners had to clean the mess in the infirmary before setting up a guard for the retrained Golic. Maybe Morse pulling back the curtain from Clemens while mumbling profanities 😂
It's interesting how everyone has to shave their heads because of lice on the planet and, by doing so, they become more monk-like. An idea originally for this movie was for it to be monks on a wooden planet. Without women there, they have become monk-like in terms of celibacy. There are also signs that they have tried to find God like the makeshift cross on the beach and Dillon's speech is like a preacher, cruelly, ironically undercut by the 'new life' not being heaven as far as we can see but a fresh hell in their already fiery furnace hell.
Whomever says this movie is actually good, I want to ask “where is the character development in this movie?” This movie does absolutely nothing except kill off the survivors of the second, and that’s it. No point
the character development is in the Alien 3 assembly cut, which adds 40 minutes to the original movie, but many people don't know about this extended edition. it makes the movie much better.
The best thing about this miscarriage movie is the death of rip-ley. I love her but really? She will escape and this one too? The first 2 times it was the blind luck. If aliens wouldnt get her and this time - I would go the street with an "aliens rights" poster in the hands . cause they already goes like - LET US KILL DA BITCH ALREADY ! It would be improbable if she again would have survived as if she were fighting with fkn easter bunnies
XANDR KENSKI I agree it wasn't The best movie , but all Ripley wanted was to forget the nightmare & death was her only release , I've recently rewatched the assembly cut & its been a few years (I always tell my self its hard to sit through ) but as I was watching I found my self sucked in , just like Alien ,& Aliens , maybe just because I hadn't seen o for awhile but I was pleasantly surprised , you hear people bitching, but like they could have handled the studio pressure right

The director's cut of Alien 3 is brilliant. I have no idea why it copped so much hate.
Alien 3 is a very good movie
Definitely underrated despite its flaws.
No one can replace Sigourney Weaver
True. Superior actress for sure. The amount of depth she conveys in her performance stands way above anything Hollywood has brought up recently when it comes to "strong female characters".
I agree. But check out the movie "Kate" and Mary Elizabetth Winstead and see if you don't think there's at least SOMEone who could MAYBE be a close second...
Nope. No Ripley and it sucks
Charlize Theron at one point perhaps. Ripley's actual age is supposed to be early - late 30s, if you're counting cryosleep age.
This movie has become my favorite Alien film. I love all of them. But this one I probably have watched the most over the last three decades. The soundtrack for this one is also one of my favorites of all the Alien films. It is just beautiful.
Alien 3 great film. Congratulations from Rio, Brazil.
compared to Covenant, Alien3 was a piece of freaking art
I have to agree. Atleast it has the vibe. The gritty vibe of the alien universe. Those new films are lifeless.
@@MrJC1 totally agree.
The line in the film.... '..... Arse end of space'. Perfect. The place feels to be some utter dump quadrant of space long ignored and forgotten. The atmosphere of the movie is superb.

Anybody else still want Fox Studios to release David Fincher's original 3 hour work print?

Fincher has publicly disowned alien 3 and even now almost 30 years later he gets cagey if anyone asks about it.
David fincher was such a skilled director and at the same time very young. Executives at fox blatantly tried to micro manage him.
Very true, and unfortunate, had he been given full direction and control like Scott and Cameron, it might have been better.
Cast members and crew have said Fincher was very short tempered and patronizing during the shoot. He had a bad attitude. He wanted to have 20 takes of every scene, no matter how trivial.
@@Mario_N64 So there were faults of his own, interesting.
@@type026 Special effects crew members said Fincher was moody and ill tempered. He called their first Bishop puppet "a joke" because it malfunctioned in rehearsals. They had to redo it.

all doing their best to act optimistic about the movie
I remember watching this on HBO when it aired in 1992.
Alien 3 was brilliant, they said the same thing about rocky 4 and I love that too.
The Blu-ray version of this is incredible! There is no grain, colour is fantastically vivid & its still way better compared to streaming versions

Alien 3 is the heart of the Alien franchise.
It is the only movie who ever knows from the audiences in the beginning of the 90s.
Ripley : simply one of the very best "strong female characters" ever written.
Sigourney Weaver's superior performance made it instantly unforgettable.
I love the first 4 films in the franchise, they all entertain me in their own unique way.
I've never understood the negativity towards Alien 3, because I thought it was a worthy follow up to the previous two.
Alien 3 was a depressing sequel but not a bad film, it kept a dark atmosphere! the creature kept the creepy/danger vibe! probably for the last time
13:27 craftsmanship. It took a lot of time. Now everything is CGI and it makes me want to cry.
Ah, another person with absolutely no idea on how digital effects are made implying it's easy and that no craft is involved. Wonderful lot you are.

This is featured in the original 1999 DVD release.
did anyone think Ripley was goin to live through this one ?
great video
such a good video
amazing
the narrator says, '..the new movie, in an already classic series in the franchise to yet another level..' - too true, they take it down the toilet.
One mistake made by Fincher was the decision to have scenes shot from the Alien's point of view. I've seen it done in other films and it never works. It destroys the illusion and fear of being pursued.
I guess I agree. As much as I still think Alien 3 is an underrated movie overall, this is one of its obvious (though kind of minor) flaws imho.
Really? I always thought that was super cool, especially when it’s running in the ceiling
The first two are my favorites. But the third I enjoyed also. Because it was using totally new technology for the alien.
Great Movie
Strangely enough looking at the totality of the Alien series "3" isn't the worst from a conceptual standpoint. The execution leaves much to be desired with that said.
Many of shots of the scenes still missing from the movie the asembly cut is good but the movie still cold be better with the missing scenes
has this ever been released on dvd or blu-ray?
Yes it has
Anybody knows the music from 15:08 or 17:12 ??
