Fun Fact: Sigourney Weaver actually made that basketball shot. There were no special effects there, that was all Weaver.
Thats cause Sigourney Weaver is awesome.
Splinterbee How Dare you insult Sigourney Weaver! "Awesome" doesn't come CLOSE to doing her ultimate major ultra badass-ness enough justice.
Epic?
Splinterbee better
+Vince Shadell Watch Decker Shado to see how much he hated people saying that.
Ripley making that shot with the basketball without looking wasn't even special effects, she legit made that shot.
But from an alien standpoint, heightened spacial awareness would've let her know exactly where that hoop was without looking.
Good fact to post man.
Don Hernandez 😂
TheDrexxus also, I really liked the design of the hybrid alien. Honestly, it looks cool.
TheDrexxus it was done in one take too
and to add to that i think her knowing what the others are looking for is just natural for hunters like raptors ect
As always, Ron Perlman makes me happy. No matter the quality of the movie. Ron Perlman is awesome!!
Yeah, I really enjoyed his character in Meg.
Brad Dourif deserves a Lifetime achievement award for excellence in creepiness
The worst part about that scene where the weird guy was about to kiss the Xenomorph... is that you just KNOW that someone, somewhere was getting off to that.
Joss Whedon did.
Deviantart featuring a pregnant, thicc xenomorph 🤤
@@galleryofrogues I don't know which part of Hell you crawled out of, but go crawl back into it and never come out.
Yeah, me.
@@Starweardo Gross

Fun fact about that: it was for real. Weaver pulled that off by sheer coincidence in a single take, and they kept it in the film, and it damn near caused Perlman to break character on-camera.
Joss Whedon deliberately wrote the draft as an exaggerated parody of an Alien film. It was the studio that wanted to play it like a serious film.
I know this 3 years old but its been said in bonus footage it took her over dozens Almost hundreds of tries before she landed tht shot it definitely wasn't a first take.
"I jsut want to eat humanity and devowuew bwains! Is that a cwime?"
LordDarthHarry dam
when I saw the newborn kill the queen alien i really craved Chinese food
Nah
UwU
Every day we stray further from God's light
why would a xenomorph need a ladder when the room is obviously alien parkour heaven
Fun fact that Alien pulled a hammy while playing Ripley one one one in basketball
Because the xenomorph was aware that if it had climbed the walls then it would have been killed instantly so it took the ladder to grab the closest person and killed it.
@@chasesmith5216 It also happened to know that black guy was farsighted.
Ikr smh
As bad as this film is and it's really bad they did turn the xenomorphs back into the alien biological weapon monsters that they're supposed to be before cameron's easy to destroy bugs in aliens.
"Aliens" turned the xenomorph into a cockroach and that doesn't help anyone imagine that one egg could destroy life on earth as we know it.
The infected prisoner was actually my favorite character. He knew he was a goner but kept going anyway. Then, when he knew he was going to die from the chest burst anyway, he used himself as a sacrifice to rush the guy holding them at gun point. I thought that was an awesome and noble way to go out in an Alien movie!
Exactly! He was a tragic figure, a decent seeming guy that was doomed to die horribly. I don't understand when NC he doesn't connect with people just bc they are obviously not gonna make it. Those are the characters I connect with the most bc I see myself in them. I'm not a hero, or a main character. I'm the working stuff just trying to make it in a brutal capitalist hellscape that treats the average joe like cattle
I could imagine that him knowing he was gonna die gave him a shot of adrenaline to beat that guy
It just doesn't make much sense because the other times we saw people getting chest bursted they never had full of control of their body anymore they usually start spazzing out on the floor
@@SinisterBlitzo9 pure adrenalin and such a memorable scene for me to watch when I was younger.
"A painless poison will do."
*sprays flamethrower everywhere*
YAHHHHH
Yea bro
Alien: Resurrection should have had that Hybrid Alien get birthed at the start, and it should have been the crew trying to escape from him. It's such a shame that a terrifying and creative abomination like that only got a few minutes of screentime.
CyniCat
Oh yeah, because 2 minutes of vagina belly puppy eyes skull face thing turned into 2 hours would’ve been sooo much better.
CyniCat
What if the scientists never get Ridley right. What if one day, the attempt once again to create Ridley bit of course fail and looks disgusting, but that Ridley Subject escapes and frees all the other failed Ridley Clones and the Space Pirates had to survive and escape from them.
Should have made "Ripley" the bad guy..
Would have been weird seeing it trying to run after them I think
@@radrno7 You realise it's a horror film, right?
The alien singing _"Hello my baby"_ at 18:21 breaks me every time. 😂
Fun fact: The backwards basket ball shot sigourney weaver did was on her very first try. they had to quicky make a jumpcut the second it happened because everyone started cheering
@@rezalustig6773 r/woooosh
Maui Randall what?
@@FrancisR420 that doesn't work here
Why would they need to do a jump cut immediately afterwards? All they would have to do is negate the audio and replace it...
@@TyhgYT fixed: "you have not power here"
I swear to god Brad enjoyed that scene where he flirted with the xenomorph behind the glass a bit _too much_
Rule 34 anyone?
After his date with the six year old boy.
Brad Dourif is a strange guy. I don't know if he's that weird in real life, but he's exceptionally good at playing characters that are a bit off the wall.
@@causticwit he’s really not! He gave a talk at my university in 2017 about Théâtre de la Cruauté, which is a performance style that prioritises Id over Ego, forcing the actor to reach for primal emotions such as lust, greed or anger and build their character around those instead of higher reasoning. That’s why a lot of his work has a reptilian feel to it - it’s instinctive acting. I didn’t get to personally talk to him but he came off as a hippie lecturer rather than a guy with bodies in the basement.
Even Giger made porn of the xenomorphs so it's not that surprising
Anyone back after Alien 3 NC episode?
Yep
Yes indeed.
Yup
Yea, it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.
how'd you know
If I stop watching this as a horror movie or an action flick and more a parody of an alien movie, you find it significantly more entertaining.
*****
I know but I'm just saying, it is more entertaining that way if you take it completely UNSERIOUSLY!
+Centristism Unrelated.
+Fiaura The Tank Girl
I in fact like this movie for the most part.. it fall apart only on end with that horribly stupid idea of new alien, but for the most part it was made decently.
I feel like that was the vibe Whedon was going for. Unfortunately the director seemed to want to make a disturbing Horror film.
originally it was gonna be way better. I like this movie as any kind of movie lol but here's food for thought that alien 1979 has lots of roots but some of the biggest come from a comedy sci Fi called dark star! so even though I don't really see alien res as a comedy I like the idea of it going sci Fi comedy to sci Fi horror to sci Fi action to sci thriller back to comedy it's a beautiful beautiful little butterfly😈😈😈
I swear Alien Isolation was the best thing to happen to this franchise, it actually made people remember how awesome it could be after so many bombs. (3 to be precise, and that's not counting the Alien came Predator franchise)
Too be fair! Ripley did have inhuman super strength when the face hugger tried to grab her.
So her being able to push one away is believable.
But then wouldn't it have ripped some of her skin off in the process?
For what good it does, the Xenomorphs seem to hunt primarily by pheromones. So a synthetic is technically considered just a piece of machinery until it starts attacking. The reason - and this is just theory - that the Queen attacked the Synthetic in Aliens is because she was just SO pissed off he was unlucky enough to be in her way.
In some of the comics the aliens actually see your mind so maybe synthetics actually produce brainwave patterns or atleast puts out some kind of detectable energy. But if u go by pheromones bishop probly smells human after spending so much time around people
smadcore Humans produce smells just like any other being. They can be tracked just like any other.
+Robin L. Tinderfox
General smells are not the same as actual pheromones. Pheromones are used by animals for communication, and while humans are _thought_ to have/use them, it hasn't actually been 100% confirmed yet.
We know that certain smells in humans can cause unconscious social behaviors, but it's unknown if this is on the same level as actual pheromonal communication.
We do have a lot of body odor, though, so the Xenomorphs probably just smell the sweat and blood.
+Robin L. Tinderfox Actually, in the case of the Queen, I'm inclined to think that she attacked Bishop deliberately rather than act out of instinct or plain, animalistic wrath. The Queen is, after all, supposed to be more developed than her spawn, not only in terms physique, but also in terms of intellect and situation awareness. There've been Xenomorphs with sockets in their faces that appear to be for eyeball-like organs; maybe the Queen possesses eyes, and that could be how she saw and almost killed Bishop. Just my hypothesis.
I think the Queen attacked Bishop first since he's a Synthetic, she figures he has different biology than the various humans the Xenos had already murdered/captured, so get him out of the way before he does something. If she can read emotions in some capacity, maybe she knew Bishop would be the one to think of a plan since he's programmed to repress emotions. You can see during the fight with Ripley in the loader that she doesn't just wildly attack, sizing it up a bit, so she seems to be thinking in some capacity rather than just blindly raging.
"A painless poison will do..." - laughed my ass off.
and then she screamed from the torch burning her. lmao
That's the part I laughed at, @@kaswhi8920
@@kaswhi8920
Was that Homer Simpson's screams?
Think they tried to use a scene that got cut from Alien 1 movie. Except in Alien 1 it kinda made more sense
8:30 I felt pretty sorry for that xenomorph. You could even hear the poor thing whimper and scream in distress.
I did too, I'd of kept it
I love the science behind this movie. the aliens have a really odd breeding method, the spiders don't inject an egg into the host but actually a virus that blends its DNA with the host species, which allows the resulting xenomorph to have the adaptions to its new environment it's host's species spent millennia evolving.
Me too, I can't watch the end of the review or the film because I felt sad for it.
I remember reenacting that bullet ricochet scene as a kid with my friend using nerf guns. it felt badass.
at 16:55, when he's criticizing why the alien didn't attack her. I think it's because the alien knew she wasn't flesh and blood and so ignored her.
you meant the alien
+XB1Gaming Creeper Yeah Alien, my bad. Corrected it, thanks for pointing it out :).
wouldnt matter since shes a threat bishop got ripped apart by the queen
I would buy that if it wasnt for that scene where the queen stabbed and ripped the Android from Aliens in half...
She did that because he was there. Not because he was human.
References to Spaceballs are the best
I typically watch with subtitles. The scene where the hybrid was getting sucked through the window it was seriously saying "Oh no!! (Screaming). Noooo!!". I swear I haven't laughed so hard. As bad as this movie was, it can be alright if you look at it with The Room kind of eyes.
Omari Thompson mine also included "Oh no! Ooooohhhhh God No!"
Omari Thompson This video doesn't have English subtitles, just auto-generated.
oh hi omari
CoolNerd lll he's talking about the actual movie, genius
At 11:15 one guy says “get back” but the subtitles think he says “dick rat” not kidding this literally happened
Lmao! "A painless poison will do... AHHHHH"
I laughed so hard at that xD
I laugbed so hard at the sound effect at 13:10
Homer Simspon?
Where that sounds come from the HAH-HEY!
17:15
IBroLLyI ISephirothI
It kinda sounds like Professor Frink from Simpsons.
IBroLLyI ISephirothI Iiii
I was wondering the same thing
🚨🚨🚨
*Where does that "HAH-HEY!" sound come from?
Sounds like something in Conqer bad fur day!
I think NC should review the original Alien movie. He doesn't review enough good movies. Those could still have funny reviews
+DramaHateNation no, he reviewed Jurassic park, and the force awakens...
+DramaHateNation ONE?
+DramaHateNation Nah, he's reviewed a couple of movies he thought were good, like Labyrinth, the first Conan movie from the 80s, and Jurassic Park.
I think he even stated that James And The Giant Peach and that one Sesame Street movie that focused on Big Bird (forgot the title and I'm too lazy to look it up) were at least decent.
I agree but for the sake of comedy,the critic doesn't do MASTERPIECES all the time but I think he does movies that are either terrible or just average. But the reason I guess he did Fury Road or The Force Awakens is because there was so much buzz around them
I think he should review Prometheus.
If the Newborn actually had dialogue like that, "Resurrection" would automatically become the best "Alien" film ever.
Will C so much yes
One thing that lots of people didn't seem to get, was that the gene transfer between Ripley and the aliens was both-sided and made this breed more intelligent than the original ones. That's why this is the first movie in which they communicate with each other, work together in groups and even remember individual humans, like the scientist with the ponytail, and take revenge on them. So the scene at 11:05 is meant to imply that the alien actually knows that it's only safe as long as it's standing in front of the hull.
But they didn't fucking convey this any good way in the movie though! People don't "get" it because the filmmakers didn't know how to write.
It's in the novelization @@william3100
I do have a fun fact for you! The scene were Sigourney Weaver throws the basketball behind her and it goes into hoop and getting it in really happened. she actually made the shot perfectly.
Stephen Wolfe yeah like 20 people already said that
Guys guys! How about that basketball shot by Ripley? I heard it wasn't CGI!
You should put that on one of your shirts as a quote: "Things have come a long way since before, but DUMB IS STILL DUMB!" I'd buy it...but would prefer it on a bumper sticker.
She has super strength, which is how she pulled it off her face.
Even if anyone could pull it off, a Facehugger's grip would tear the host's face off.
@@danofsteel785 Yeah those things are really strong.
and applied enough strength to rip it off before it could tighten its grip
RIP Bill Paxton 😭 You will be missed.
Alien Resurrection
Is one of my favorite guilty pleasures
And AvP-R is one of my guilty pleasures. I will not judge you.
+Harley Dirk I actually like whole idea of a small suburban neighborhood becoming a battleground of Predators and Aliens.
+Espurr 404 Kind of like how the T-Rex rampage in Lost World was the most memorable part of the film.
+Juanpablo Montalvo still better than prometheus
+Juanpablo Montalvo Same here. Plus I fucking love Brad Dourif.
I’ve never been able to understand the logic behind them thinking that cloning Ripley would also clone the alien that was inside her, and that they’d ‘come back’ together. That’s basically like thinking that if the sheep that Dolly was cloned from had a tapeworm, so would Dolly. Spoiler alert: THAT’S. NOT. HOW. BIOLOGY. WORKS… DUDE!!! 🤦♂️
It's canonical that when a facehugger attaches itself to you, it's not an egg it deposits into your body, but rather a sort of mixture of genetic material and enzymes, and that it uses the host's DNA to sort of build its own genetic makeup and grow from there, which is why xenomorphs such as the dog alien and the Predalien retain select characteristics from their hosts. When Ripley was implanted with the Queen, it's likely that their DNA mixed, allowing some residual xenomorph DNA to be salvageable from blood retained from Ripley in Alien 3, thus allowing them to rebuild a Queen. Call it a stretch, but it's not the same thing as a tapeworm
@@NPC1921 thank you Jesus. Bros applying real world biology to a fictional universe without any knowledge of said universe
@AMediumSizedKodiak but they didn't explain or really imply that stuff though. It's still a stretch to say it also cloned the baby inside her, and they DO pretty treat it as a tapeworm in the context of the film.
@@NPC1921The offical name is Plagiarus praepotens.
Is it just me, or does Winona Ryder look a little like Eminem?
Chen Stormstout I would say Frodo with a vagina
XD
I think she looks like Salma Hayek
Kiera Knightley looks like a younger version of her
Winona is a year older than him, so it would be the other way.
"…the director from Amélie"
"City of Lost Children" was probably a more pertinent reference.
and "Delicatessen" is a story full of poetry and humour... in a kind of post-nuke world where people turned cannibals :D
na
@@Ysckemia Then they end up fat and slow.
Whenever NC starts asking why this movie is obsessed with turning itself into a lesbian flick, I feel like a big "Written by Joss Whedon" should flash on the screen.
Turns out Joss Whedon's work is all over the place. He was involved with Avengers, but he also made Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly and also Co-Wrote for Toy Story. You wanna know what else he put his name on? Cabin in the woods. Yeah; he was involved with one of the most satirical horror movies ever. He's a man of a thousand genres.
I never thought it was lesbian baiting; seemed out of place and hopeful of Critic to keep trying to force it, and then weird when he was upset that it didn't pay off
@@pallyboy6005 That means that making it lesbian was only there for diversity.
fun fact: the director of the film, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, only did this film to finance his most famous work, Amélie. Apparently, universal only asked him for his style and not his scenarios, so not only was the direction he wanted the film to go refused, but all three endings he wanted to make were refused as well. In other word, he might be a great director, but this time, he never even had the chance to prove it to begin with. :/
Lonel650 So this movie's failure can be chalked up to executive meddiling.
Well, that and the fact that it shouldn't exist to begin with, I guess...
He probably shouldn't have directed it.
I wouldn't call either movie good, but I still liked this one more than Alien 3. At least it didn't start by stating half of the characters we actually cared about died off camera in an act of plot contrivance. Plus it inspired Metroid Fusion, which was the last game in the series that wasn't a remake and was actually good.
Prime was good
@@tompor561 and made in texas
The Professor Frink / Nutty Professor Ha-Hay sound is a funny touch whenever someone gets pulled down by an alien.
Sigourney Weaver is enough to make this movie watchable. I'd even watch the new Ghostbusters if she was in it.
Wait, she is actually in the new Ghostbusters? Well fuck me and my big mouth!
+Bergonath kek
Yeah I'm with you
She is, in a brief cameo.
Almost everyone from the original movies is there, except Harold Ramis (may God have his soul) and Rick Moranis.
5:12 my step mom walked by when this clip started. I'm probably in deep shit. Next time I'm just gonna keep my headphones on no matter what
I love the “hey” after every alien kill 😂
i just rewatched this movie and i still enjoy as a popcorn action movie. it was entertaining.
i did enjoy it more than 3 and shitty avp spin offs, especially requiem
@@Immolator772 I agreed %100 at least this movie didn’t kill of Hicks and newt!!!!
Yeah I love this movie as a dumb popcorn movie. It's a bad movie, but an enjoyable bad movie.
I agree I enjoyed this
The Spaceballs cameo fucking killed me.
ditto
Hilariously, Winona Rider is now mostly known for her incredible performance on Stranger Things. She’s come a long way from this movie and deserves to be commended for it
What about Beetlejuice?
I wonder if the Critic will review Heathers? I know he's been reviewing good movies lately but he is still reviewing ones that are considered bad too.
What about her fictional performance as a shoplifter? Oh, wait….
She was better in other things before this, she's just a bit miscast in this.
She was always great
4:55 funny story time:when they filmed that scene they decided to give Sigourney Weaver 3 chances to try and score a point before actually editing the shot (hence the camera was fixed in that angle to not show how the basketball flied towards the hoop) she surprisingly managed to score it on her third attempt, but saddly because of the angle of the camera it just seems like it was edited.
That Moment you realise the Critic had his Hopes up for Prometheus.... It's like having the British prime Minister say 'maybe this Hitler Figure is a decent guy', right after Hitler got to Power.
+SnoopysOtherBird Its a good movie prometheus.
Jar jar Bynx loves Prometheus cause it rocks and so does jar jar!
joseph roszell It's a good movie.
+SnoopysOtherBird Are you referring to Winston Churchill, because saying "The British Prime Minister" is a bit vague, as we've had quite a few, lately.
***** Um, how?
imagine if alien 3 was called aliens's and they just made it a parody like gremlins 2
Did you know, sigourney actually made the hoop herself, and the cut was so soon after cause Ron pearlman didn't keep character and swore out of surprise
It was the third take too
She said it was the third greatest moment of her life, after her wedding and birth of her child.
No, they let Brad Dourif act cause he is a great actor. 😁
That Charlie Sheen bit got me good. 😄
He is a real block head afterall.
Did he just say gladiator was bad?
he hates Gladiator
Miss X has he explained anywhere before?
+Jack Bailey yes, he did a video called "Top 10 movies I hate but eveyone else loves". Gladiator is number 9.
Miss X thx friend
+Jack Bailey you're wellcome!
How has no one commented on the DISTURBING APPEARANCE OF THE NEW BORN AN ITS TWICE AS DISTURBING DEATH!
I swear, that death cry has HAUNTED me for months after watching the movie. To this day, when I hear that scream I shudder a little.
Lol this was my introduction to the Alien series. I actually loved this as a kid lol. But I was young and dumb.
I'm old and dumb and I enjoy it as well.
@@ourkeving Why wouldn`t you ? It is awesome. The hole series is fantastic. Every movie is nearly the same structure/story and they are all great for VERY different reasons =)
ED the Happy Clown why the hell is resurrection good?!?
@@spencerreynolds0617 As I said, they tell the same story for the fourth time and I still was engaged. It is the most trashy one of course but it is a lot of fun. Also, Ron Perlman is in it.
And I genuinely think, that the scene were Ripley discovers her clones, is one of the best scenes in the franchise.
ED the Happy Clown when I watched this around 4 years ago I thought it was shit - I was 10 years of age. That says something. That said, it does introduce some very intriguing concepts, like the hybrid xeno. That scared me shitless 4 years ago and it still does now. Shame it has so little screen time...
In Space... no one can hear you *S U C C*

It sucked.
8:44
A Brad Jones cameo is *NEVER* pointless.
How is Gladiator a bad Ridly Scott movie? that movie was awesome.
I wouldn't call is bad, nor would I call it awesome. It was just overrated.
The Amazing G
Meh, I can agree there. But it was overrated for all the right reasons.
*****
Well think about it. If something is so popular and overrated then it must be doing something right. However in the long run its just a matter of opinion. I personally am a huge fan of Scots films, ALIEN 1979 being my favorite.
*****
fair enough, we all have our opinions, and you made some good points. I personally didn't feel like Commodus was that bad either lol.
Froguism i was thinking the same lol
alien queen's have meantal telepathy and she got queen DNA so there's my point
22:05 To be fair, Russell Crowe was the star of two of those movies.
Is Gladiator considered a bad film?
I'd put a lot more stock in NC's opinion if he didn't seem to suggest that Gladiator was a bad film.
+CerberusLives Or Matchstick Men.
+Cody Hines yea matchstick men was pretty good
+CerberusLives It turns out he was right about that. If you go watch the film you'll see that it was over-hyped and not that good.
+SilentBudgie
i dont kno any one who overhypes it & i do think it good up until the lame twist
SilentBudgie Actually, it's one of my favourite movies. Why would I comment about it if I'd not seen it?
Why would clone Ripley have an alien in her stomach? That's not how cloning works!
That's because they cloned Ripley with the Alien Queen's DNA, therefore, she can give birth to the actual alien.
^^^ Yeah cus Cloning and DNA splicing and totally same thing.
Because movie.
If the alien grows by a virus being planted in the host to alter the host DNA, instructing it to grow a chestburster, then it could work.
I don't believe that's how it works. The Facehugger forces some embryonic/fetal form of the chestburster into the subject's body, and then it bursts when fully grown. So the body is just an incubator/food source, but it does not actually create the alien proper.
You're not going to talk about Brad Dourif's mispronunciation of "Fiorina 161" (aka "Fury 161") as "Fiori 16?" Btw, it's "Call," not "Cole."
9:09 Actually, they took him alive.
9:12 Gediman
11:01 Elgyn
12:27 Vries
12:37 That scene was referenced on an episode of 'Archer'.
13:36 Purvis
16:03 Christie
22:03 Ridley Scott's 'Robin Hood' was actually good.
"I WANTED ICE CREAM!"
Why was fucking Gladiator on the bad directed movies?
I know right? Critic you little shit...
+Jerbsinator he didn't like it, he just said it was average
Because it wasn't that great?
He also found "Last Action Hero" to be a horrible movie who is full of cliches, even though the whole film is basically making fun of them.
He screws up a lot.
Isn't that what average means?
Love all your videos and the work you put into them! I'm curious- do you really think Gladiator is a "bad" movie?
I haven't watched this in many years but from this footage this movie actually still looks really good and has a very consistent style as well as practical effects over CGI.
I rewatched this not too long ago and it really is the beta version of firefly.
And whatever he says: I still like it as the third best movie in the franchise. Brad Dourif and Ron Perlman are always fun to watch. Weaver brings something new to the character...and the guessing game who survives is on point (I bet not one person, ever, saw Ron Perlman's character survive till the end). It has creative moments, scary moments, emotional moments and pretty good production value...what's not to like?
I rather watch this one than Alien 3 ever again.
14:00 to be fair she's super-human
Useless fact. This movie came out the same day in 1997 as Home Alone 3.
hulk fan what a horrible day for movies
hulk fan I could be mistaken but I remember "Home Alone 3" opening in December on the same day as "Titanic" and "Tomorrow Never Dies".
TheOFamily5
what a horrible night to have a curse
hulk fan Actuallly, it didn't:
Alien Resurrection came out on November 26, 1997
Home Alone 3 came out on December 19, 1997.
Other shitty movies in 1997 are Batman & Robin and Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
Even die hard Xeno-Fans look upon "the newborn" and cringe. The CG underwater aliens looked cool to me, however.
Tommy Fox Fun Fact about those CG underwater aliens: They were animated by Blue Sky Studios.
I loved the underwater. Kind of expected something watery with it being Jeunet - he is to water what Woo is to doves! 😀
I wish it had looked different, but I do like the idea of it.
The newborn actually made me feel very sad as a kid.
A lot of NC's issues with this movie don't seem legitimate to me. Brad Dwarf was supposed to be playing a mad scientist obsessed with the aliens. So yeah, he was crazy. The military ran because they heard all the legends about what the aliens were. The alien's death was supposed to be a bit sad because Ripley is part one of them. The alien, while a brutal aggressive monster, is still a bit of an innocent child. Ripley's weird abilities come from a higher awareness to her surroundings. On top of that, the actress really did make that basketball shot. No special effects there. The reason Winona wasn't attacked by the aliens and why she got "hurt" by the bullet is simple. She was faking. She faked being hurt because she wants to be human and hates being a machine. The aliens left her alone because she was faking being dead and they only take live beings for their nest. Ripley could rip off the face hugger because of her enhanced strength. She also couldn't just pry open the door because shes not that strong. Ripley's attitude is to reflect her more primal traits given over from a race that only replicates and destroys. The military used space pirates so they could keep the facility and kidnappings off their books. The guy cut himself from the small guy's bag because with acid in his face, he was dying, and the alien's grip was stiff already. If he died on the guy's back, he'd slow his friend down, and probably lacked the dexterity at the time to simply unbuckle himself.
Missing that giant alien from a few feet away was bullshit though.
+Allen Babylon He wasn't missing. the alien was dodging, there's a difference.
+Meek Peace I was just thinking about this. Maybe the guy is just a crap shot unless he banks a bullet off something.
+Allen Babylon
Regardless of whether his specific complaints are shaky, the movie is still terrible.
Len the Trendy Tetraodontiforme I enjoy it the most, with Aliens a close second. The thing that ruins Aliens for me is the guy that says "Game over".
Allen Babylon
Dear god, man. Your taste in movies is awful.
Best... death... ever -- WOAH! Fucking love that high pitch part at the end! XD
This movie.........for some reason is a movie I have always had a soft spot for. Not sure why, but I have always enjoyed this movie.
still can't believe he put Matchstick Men and Gladiator in the list of bad Scott movies
Gladiator wasn't bad. It was really good
+jeanie dreamie I know you were replying to the other guy, but that is a false equivalency, I'm close to as liberal as they come and I loved Gladiator, and hate Drumpf (Trump)
I shall address you as nitwit from now on :3
Alright so the main character is a little boring but what about the villain?
Heath's Joker is iconic?
Go to bed.
I like that when the pirate bounces the bullet off the walls and hits the one soldier it just goes through his military-grade protective helmet.
9:18 HAHAHH THE GENERAL AND HIS ARMY OF SHOULDER HAIR......AHHAHAHAHAHAHA GOT ME GOOD.....
Alien Resurrection is still one of my guily pleasure favorite movie. It's silly, but as each Alien movie have a different tone, I don't see why one of them can't be the silly toned one. Some of the visuals are quite original
3:36 there not prisoners (well they weren't before they were hijacked by a pirate ship) they were just random conalist on there way to a new job.
Edit: on a side note considering how effective the army is vs the aliens running like little girls is probably the best course of action.
22:06 your on crack if you thought gladiator was a bad movie
I also can't see why Kingdom of heaven is considered a bad movie
@@francoispicard1503 Because the theatrical cut was butchered. The Director's Cut is amazing.
@@northwindkey I have never seen the theatrical cut, but for me the extended cut is as good as gladiator or at least in the same level
WHY COULDN'T THE BLACK GUY!!
Are you racist?
+EarthEagleGT Black Person.
+EarthEagleGT Why IS it always the black guy? It's awfully perplexing.
He's black, his in a horror movie, how is anyone surprised?
+Cody Hines Horror movie directors and writers are racist? White people survivors make them more money?
THE AVENGERS ISNT POPULAR. PROOF: IT'S THE YEAR 1947!
+Scott Sandler i think you know about this movie only cause nostalgia revieved it but true
I don't get it
09:11 “Your proposal is acceptable.”
9:57 Favorite moment of this video
"Oh boy it's like cup of noodles!"
(Kills everyone onboard)
20:22 Mommy, why would you do this to me? *I'LL EAT YOUR @$$ IN H377!*
(In other words, those scenes were hilarious to me as well)
Could you do a review on Spaceballs? I think it's considered nostalgic now.
Doug makes it sound like he WOULDN'T run from a fucking xenomorph.
Where that sounds come from the HAH-HEY!
Alien Resurrection was one one of my favorite Sci-Fi films of all time though..
The alien wasn’t throwing off his aim...it was dodging the shots
fun fact she actually made that shot while walking away.
HOLY SHIT!
it's Tuco from Breaking bad & Joyce from Stranger things in this movie :3
''Who are you expecting Santa Claus!?'' i fucking love that line XD
9:36
Breaking up a 1.5 mm steel plate to be able to short circuit the door and breaking through a 25 mm steel door...
Yeah, the exact same strenght!? 🤨😖
This is like the difference to punch your fist through a lenght of moist toilet paper versus punch it through a phone book! 🤜📙
Finally! Thank you!
That movie is bad, but we must be fair while judging it.
"I think you're gonna find that this was very ill-advised!" Said no one ever in real life.
16:40 good to see Tuco is still alive 500 years in the future
Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection just killed the franchise, unfortunately. Then Alien: Isolation brought it back (albeit in video game form).
Oh my god Isolation was so good. I wonder if Critic will review that one as a bonus.
+Kyle Atkins-Weltman Couldn't have killed it that bad. They ended up making 2 aliens vs. predators and a Prometheus. Or two. Not to mention the good portion of games before Isolation. You can't keep a good horse from going to the butchers.
+Kyle Atkins-Weltman Meh! The original AVP game was vastly more innovative and interesting.
Isolation was only a hit because of the youtube, reddit, forum meme-sphere of bullshit. The same meme-sphere which thinks that Five Nights at Freddy's is actually a good video game.
I like avp although I can nitpick avp ,but avpr really really hurts to watch
joseph roszell I read the avpr ending. It is WAY to much like the alien comic books. Knowing how truly bad and bloody those got I have promised myself to avoid it like the plague.
