![blew our minds | ALIEN [1979] (REACTION) *First Time Watching*](/img/tr.png)
Fun fact: At the premiere, Paul Reiser (Burke) brought his mom. He wanted to gently tell her ahead of time that he would be dying in the film. When the scene happened, the audience began cheering and his mother joined in with them. 🤣
I read somewhere that he also took his sister and she punched him in the shoulder when Burke did something really scummy.
A good comic actor.I also remember seeing him the year after Aliens in 1987 starring in BEVERLEY HILLS COP 2 as a sidekick of Eddie Murphy’s.
Funfact: They made a Biting-Power Test and a tongu flashing test, but the steps were wrong and the tongue crashed the teeth from the Queen xD All rofl then the teeth became repair
Sorry, my english is not perfect😊
@@derekharrison1582 He was in BOTH, and I was so hype to see him in the sequel too! Loved him in Mad About You more than anything!
@@aruruaurynwolferson9713something similar happened in AvP. The teeth fell out & the lady who played Lex said everyone was scrambling to pick up the teeth in the fake snow lol
The reason The Queen was telling the other xenomorphs to let Ripley & Newt leave was Ripley nonverbally communicated to The Queen that she was going to set her babies ablaze if they attacked. The Queen then told her children to stand down. It was two moms having an "understanding" to save their children...
babies...?..better be careful referring to the unborn as "babies"
@@thebruisedkind5345 They're fully formed and functioning in those sacks. They were literally coming out. Don't do this 🙄...
@@AshLee92490tbf, and I understand that this is not what the prior commentator meant, xenomorph reproductive biology is complicated. Is a facehugger (the thing in the egg) a "baby" xeno? Technically it's just a vessel that impregnates a host creature, in this case humans, with the "chestburster" which itself grows into a xenomorph and therefore could more properly be considered a "baby."
@GeneralGrievousCIS Hello There. You're right. I was just explaining it in a way for them to understand what was happening in that moment and what the scene was representing...
@@thebruisedkind5345 Facehuggers are penises with spiderlegs ...
Bill Paxton, first guy to be killed by a Terminator, Predator, and a Xenomorph...
Vasquez, the actress in this is the same actress who played the Irish mother in Titanic who reads stories to her kids as they accept their fate.
She also played John Connor's foster mother in Terminator 2 :D
The dropship was made of found-parts from an Air-Fix kit of various airplanes, they then replicated it in large scale for the actors to interact with... and the troop carrier was a real vehicle, it was one of those towing trucks they use to pull airplanes around, they added some wooden panel bits for armour and that gun on the front.
All the outside scenes were miniatures and rear-projection footage of the miniatures, made by the same special effects guys who did the miniatures for the Kevin Bacon movie "Tremors" (great movie).
The rear projection Cameron used is kind of a prototype practice run that he mastered for Terminator 2's future war at the start of the movie when they filmed miniatures and stop motion, and rear-projected the footage on a huge backlit screen on an enormous set... and filmed it all in-camera.
They made the movie with only 6 Xenomorph suits too :D
Cameron saved budget on suits by filming 6 stuntmen in costumes from weird angles, and used editing tricks to make it seem like there were hundreds of aliens.
And most of the marines were ex-military who had turned to stuntmen/women in the industry. It gave authenticity to them as soldiers, and meant that they could also be thrown around because they were basically a stunt team in tertiary roles.
---
Watch Alien 3 though... and make sure it's the extended cut :)
The theatrical cut is a totally different movie, and kinda crappy because it was cut and edited by the studio.
Think of Alien 3 as probably the first example of studio interference creating a Justice League situation...... with the extended cut being the longer, better, movie.
Edit:
OH! WHen they kill that first chest burster, and the aliens all come out of the walls....... listen to the background squeal when they flamethrower that chest burster...
That scream/squeal, is the Queen. She's squealing to let her warriors that something's afoot and to defend the nest.
That's how close the marines were to the Queen, they were literally in the nest when they decided to open fire.
Crazy to think we actually got the Queen's introduction near the start of the movie, and didn't really realise it.
He was also technically killed by Robocop… though it was before Murphy became the iconic cyborg. And his boss threw him into Murphy’s car after he got shot by Murphy during the car chase: “Can you fly, Bobby?”
Edit: correction, it wasn’t Paxton. It was Freddie Hice. Thanks to douglasmillward2217 for the info.
Technically Lance Henriksen was also killed by all three.
@@jaimiekam7609 took Hendriksen almost 40 years though, and AvP isn't canon though hehehehe!
@@Xenobears wasn't Bill Paxton, that was Freddie Hice who played Bobby.
@@TheRodentSama you are correct. I was thinking it was Paxton because Bobby kinda sounds and looks like Paxton (plus he doesn’t get a lot of screen time).
My bad.
The scene with Ripley learning that her daughter aged 57 years and then died while Ripley was gone is not in every version, but it makes the anchor of the story - the relationship between Ripley and Newt - that much more poignant.
Amanda?
@@ScorpionStrike7 Yes, Amanda "Amy" Ripley, survivor of Sevastopol Station.
Why the hell would anyone tell them to watch the theatrical version instead of the extended/Directors cut version?
@@jaybird8192 Exactly, that was the most stupid suggestion concerning this film, and whomever suggested that clearly was ignorant that the Director's Cut was the actual REAL version James Cameron intended to be released but was forced not to.
I completely agree. @@EternalRoman Too bad the extended cut also overexposes LV426 at the beginning, ruining the tension of not knowing what Ripley and the marines will find there (yeah yeah we all guessed it would be aliens - it's in the title - but guessing and knowing are not the same thing). Leaving Ripley's point of view for those early LV426 scenes also mars the style a little bit. James Cameron did the same mistake with T2 Extended Cut: some additions were nice, others are worse than superfluous.
"Hey, Vasquez! You ever been mistaken for a man?"
"No. ...Have you?" 😂
This is one of the greatest sequels of all time. They took everything from the original and amped it up too a thousand! So happy you guys enjoyed this one. In all honesty tho...the third one is absolutely dreadful but could be fun to rip on 😂
totally
And they should have made this the last sequel as well.
@@2apocalypsex because no Cameron.
@@2apocalypsex We know that now, but I had high hopes for the 3rd one at the time.....until I saw it anyhow. ;)
@@DementedCaver Alien 3 can be a good film, if you see Fincher's cut of the film, it can be a fitting end for Alien's bleak and pessimistic universe in a way...
The Theatrical cut though has its moments too, though
Pay attention to details. At 31:07, you mentioned "does anybody have a knife?" You forget about the acid blood. It's why Hicks and Gorman were very careful to unwrap the facehugger's tail from Ripley's neck. And why they threw it across to an open section for Vasquez to shoot it.
A tiny example: This version doesn't tell much about her daughter. When Ripley is rescued, her daughter has been dead for 2 years. Ripley promised to get home in time to celebrate her 10 th birthday. This is why her bond with Newt is so strong.
The daughter subplot is the best addition to this whole franchise. It must be seen to understand Ripleys motivations and appreciate Alien Isolation
I don't think in Alien she was a mother. it was only added in to make her relationship with Newt work. in Alien her daughter was never mentioned. on her computer screen she had a picture of Jones her cat. her cat was with her. why a pic of him and not her daughter?
Alien Isolation is a work of art
45:42 No, this is the last Alien movie. After they returned to earth, Ripley and Hicks got married, adopted Newt, and Bishop was repaired. They all lived together, happily ever after. The end.
I know why you are saying that, but honestly it’s not a big deal with what they did with 3. Mainly because there was a whole comic series before 3 was made that has newt and hicks in it that is honestly pretty good. The things they do with the aliens is pretty crazy in the comics that doesn’t come close to the films.
I completely agree with you! I know people love Alien 3, but that opening just pissed me off.
@@icha6od still, Alien 3 is a must. A major conclusion -spoiler alert- is that Bishop is not good at all !
And sure, part 3 wasn't supposed to be, the reasoning for this: the android in part 1 was called Ash, then came Bishop, next is Call and in prometheus it is David. A-B-C-D
@@ceji566 It's a must-avoid-at-all-costs.
@@ceji566 I agree, Alien 3 is a must and underrated. Especially the Directors Cut which makes the movie much better imo.
Some of the best practical effects in movie history by the master Stan Winston and his team
The cat is alive. And that is the most important part of the scenario.
It wasnt so much that Burke knew about the Xenomorphs, because he actually didnt until they got there and saw them. What happened was that in the beginning of the movie, there was a short timeskip between Ripley waking up and having the meeting with the board of directors, and Burke and Gorman visiting her at her apartment. During that short timeskip, Burke sent the order to the colonists to go investigate Ripleys claims of the crashed ship and the Alien eggs, lost contact with them, and thats when he visited Ripley.
Nobody knew what the Xenomorphs were at that point, as Ripley was the ONLY person alive to have encountered them, and there was no other evidence bar her word.
Ripley's report would have been detailed. That's the kind of person she is. So yeah, Burke knew.
@ifly-fsx my point being is that I could say i saw a flying purple spaghetti monster, and because there's no proof of it all you have to go off is my word and description. Burke didn't KNOW of the Xenomorph because it was still just hearsay.
Such a quotable fun movie. "I say we take off, nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." "Game over man! Game OVER!" "Get away from her you B*TCH!" "Yeah man, but it's a dry heat."
I'm personally partial to *"LETS ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK!!!"*
They mostly come at night, mostly
"None of you have like a knife" and spill acid blood all over her throat. I love when people totally forget what the problem hurting these aliens is in close proximity =)
"Tell me we get to fight club an alien in this", I LOVE the foreshadowing of that line LOL
You love really easy we noticed time and time again
*Fun Fact* : Lance Henriksen the Actor who plays Bishop, before his acting career was a plumber and one of things he did was to crawl through pipes for a living, so when they ask Lance to do that scene he's actually crawling in that pipe, he said the only part about it he hated was that near the end there was a Right ▶️ bend in the pipe and it was difficult to get out
Cameron took an iconic horror movie and upped the ante, turning it into a full blown action spectacle. Awesome movie, awesome hilarious reactions from yall! Takes me back to being a teenager in a theater full of screaming people freaking on all these jumpscares and cheering Ripley on.
Yeah there’s nothing better than seeing and hearing an audience FREAKING OUT at jump scares.The first Alien movie when the Alien bursts out of John Hurts chest and Aliens where Michael Biehn gets on the table,shines his torch into that suspended ceiling and sees the Aliens crawling through.That was a big one.I STILL find it hard to believe this film came out in 1986(37 years ago).It STILL holds up so well today.
The initial chest burster scene is still shocking. But after seeing the insane body horror in The Thing, it feels less shocking. So it makes sense that Cameron would take the emphasis off the shock and horror elements and concentrate on establishing Ripley as a great, strong hero
@@LukeLovesRose I don’t know Luke.I saw Alien when it came out in 1979 and believe me that chest burst scene made a lot of the audience scream! I love John Carpenter’s The Thing which came out in 1982.Brilliant special effects, especially the dog scene and Norris.That film captures paranoia so well.Imagine being stuck in such a remote outpost and not knowing who to trust, because of an alien intruder.It’s still hard to believe the critics PANNED The Thing when it came out.Were they watching the same film as me? Thankfully it’s been reappraised as a classic.Shame on the critics!😾
Cameron went through hell to make this, the British crew (Pinewood Studios came with the same in-house crew) hated and openly disrespected him and thought of Cameron as a complete nobody who was ignorant in his choices (they were loyal to Ridley Scott). Weaver and Cameron's gf had to act as mediators to keep things cool. After filming wrapped, he gave a speech to them all and basically told them to F off as he would never have to see them again. Legendary!
@@IndyCrewInNYC people are still betting against James Cameron
Paul Reiser's role in Stranger Things is deliberately playing off this one, so the show can surprise us with his turning out to be an actual nice guy. He really doesn't get enough credit for this role, where he has to start out being so likable that we believe Ripley would trust a Company man, and then makes a seamless switch to his real personality.
Apparently there’s a scene which is cut that shows Paul Reisers body cocooned in the hive when Ripley goes into the hive to get Newt and she actually sees him.A bit like the cut scene of Dallas cocooned in the first Alien movie.
Good call!
He even says “kiddo” 😮
Fun fact: The knife trick scene was supposed to be Bishop doing it alone, but they changed it and told everyone execpt the guy playing Hudson. His screaming and his line "Thats not funny" was the actors genuine reaction.
Are these all practical effects? Yes...CG hadn't really come up yet so the Aliens and everything else is practical, the ship shots were miniatures shot to look big and moving. You got to appreciate the effort this took as it still holds up to this day. Great reactions you two.
Bill Paxton is the only actor to be killed onscreen by a Terminator, Alien, and Predator. Technically Lance Henrikson did it too, but his Terminator death was offscreen.
But Lance was also killed by a Pumpkinhead.
His death in Terminator was never confirmed. He was just thrown into the bars and collapsed. That's not necessarily a death. His cause of death in Aliens wasn't clear either. He definately died but the question is how. He just "disappears".
When was Lance killed by an alien? It can't be this one since he played an android. He was still alive/functioning.
@@Gurra88 Aliens 3. This started the job but due to Alien actions he ultimately buys it in 3. It's not as glamorous as getting ripped apart on camera but don't forget Bill Paxton didn't either.
@@Gurra88 He dies from the damage in the next film.
Lance Henricson who played Bishop, he did the knife scene with Bill paxton for real. he worked on it for 6 months and with different knives. i just got to meet Lance recently at a convention, awesome great actor.
Glad you guys loved Aliens.
Even though Alien³ isn't popular but I would recommend watching it.
They made an audiodrama version based off the original script. Michael Beihn & Lance Henrickson reprise their roles as Hicks & Bishop. & Newt is alive
Only if you hate the first two movies, the characters, the story, and you want to see it all thrown in the trash, replaced by something far inferior.
@@HalfCracker4lifedo you know where I can find that? I know Google but I like communities better 😅
This is easily on my top 5 list. When I was in my teens this was my comfort film, I watched it every time I got sick. Gave me some amazing fever dreams.
11:14 this whole drop sequence is just perfect
This movie is the pinnacle of special effects. Made just before CGI made it's way into film. This movie uses every special effects trick in the book pre computers.
The miniatures are absolutely incredible in this; for YEARS I thought that Ripley's rescue scene in the personnel carrier and the queen vs power loader fight scene were at 100% scale. I just kind of assumed Cameron had a massive budget to build sets like that. They still look so good today.
I went on this adventure when I was eleven years old in 1994. It has pretty much been one of my favorite movies ever since. The practical special effects are absolutely incredible. So fun to watch it with you ❤
Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn and Lance Henrikson are all in Terminator 1. Vasquez/Jenette Goldstein is in T2 but master of disguise that she is you'll probably never know it's her. She was also the Irish mother with the kids in Titanic.
Bill and Michael were also in another fantastic movie. Tombstone.
Really liked how you left in a lot of Bill Paxton. So many reactors complain about him, but I thought he was hilarious and made the character relatable. Only he could've played that part. By the way, Bishop was kind of the hero, you know? You were commenting on the white internal-systems fluid, but I thought he not only picked up Ripley and Newt, but he grabbed Newt so she didn't get sucked out of the ship. Since you didn't mention this, I thought I would. :)
The Alien showing up at the end like "Bet you thought you'd seen the last of me" was everything
One of the few movies I know almost verbatim. Aliens is a staple rewatch for me.
Same here. But have you seen 57 written all over the set?? if you haven't seen Cameron hiding the number 57 in plain sight, you haven't seen Aliens nearly enough.
Youre not the only reactioneer that predicted that Vasquez would be the first to die when in fact she and the Leutenant are the last to die 😲😀
When you see the crawlers preserved in the glass cases, it's not that they were studying them before hand. The colony didn't know the ship was there till Burke had them check it out. They were studying them after the colony was exposed to them. Mentions how 1 subject died from removing it
This is freaking everything!!! I adore this movie so much.
WOOO! Aliens is my favorite sci-fi movie of all time. I am so excited for y'all to watch it.
Love all the references to "Oh, they've got some Halo shit going on" and "now they've got the Batmobile", and "the suits the dude had in Avatar (which was a James Cameron film also)" etc., when this movie actually came out before all of them! This is the OG for so many things! Hahaha! Great reaction to one of my favourite films of all time guys (I saw it in the cinemas 6 times when it came out!)................sub'd. x
Love nonsense comment
I don't care what anybody says. I like all 4 movies and I think you. Guys should really watch all 4 of them. Because you might be missing out on something that you may like
I watched all 4 movies and it was a huge mistake. I should have just stopped after the second one.
Its amazing how much puppetry went into the operation of the alien queen and how it looked so real
Same with the power loders - they can't actually build articulated robots like that (side eye @ Boston Dynamics) well not yet, in 1982, they got by with two stunt guys strapped back to back in a harness. One operating the legs the other the arms.
But like all the very best special effects pre CGI it's all accomplished with shot selection, editing, miniatures and is so seamless you don't even notice.
This is the 2nd of 4 films that Michael Biehn and Bill Paxton where in together. 1st was Terminator, 3rd was Navy Seals, and 4th was Tombstone.
They did Lords of Discipline first
A lot of people will maybe tell you to skip Alien3, but in spite of its flaws, I think it’s worth seeing. The story is darker, it’s directed by David Fincher, the soundtrack and cinematography are noteworthy, and IMO the performances by Charles Dance and Charles S. Dutton are worth the price of admission.
The cinematography and music in Alien 3 really makes it "its own thing" and it's totally worth watching. It's just "not as good" as Aliens.
@@thinkingoutloud3757 It's depressing as hell tho.
Aliens 3 you will find out who is in charge of the company. Who gave the real orders for the first two
Alien 3 is the gentle slope before the Cliff, that is the rest of the sequels.
Not worth seeing IMO
There is nothing worth saving in Alien 3. It could easily be the worst, most infuriating sequel ever made. Prometheus is infinitely better. I dont know how you people could love Alien 3 and hate Prometheus
I was *today* years old when I figured out that Burke was in Stranger Things as a Papa's coworker 😳😳😳
A great reaction as always guys. Unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember going to see this at the pictures over here in that little island off the coast of Europe called Britain 😃😃 It's the only time I ever stood and applauded at the end of a movie, and you guys were absolutely right to watch the theatrical cut first. Its more tense, and the extended cut gives a lot of spoilers away near the beginning. The only advantage the extended version has is that it shows Ripley grieving over the loss of her daughter - which explains why she got so attached to Newt, but what a movie!!!
Ya sometimes the theatrical is recommended first, I'm a huge LOTR fan and debatably I recommended the theatricals to first time watchers...extended might be too long in this case
Yeah I saw it when it came out to.I always remember the scene when Michael Biehn climbs onto the table to look into the suspended ceiling and sees the aliens crawling through, brought a massive gasp from the audience.This should have been when the franchise ended.Alien and Aliens couldn’t be bettered.Alien 3 was such a massive let down when I saw it in 92.Seems to be the same with so many franchises.Terminator is another example.First two classics,after that forget it.Same with Alien/Aliens.
Yeah, if there’s one thing from the extended that really should not have been cut from the theatrical, it’s the part about Amanda.
For me, I prefer the extended version if only for the scene about Ripley's kid and the auto-turret defense scene - those two scenes added so much to the movie. I know the earlier scene of Newt's parents going and investigating the derelict ship is hit or miss for some people but I loved it.
"Bill Paxton, is he going to die from a predator and an alien"
Well.. I se you have not watched the full trifecta yet.
Still the most exciting movie I saw at the theater, thanks y’all!
You guys are so hilarious! I can always count on you for a fun time.
Your reactions to the jumpscares are priceless!!!
Two things people never notice you need to be smart to realize it. First there is a reason why Burk says he works for the company but that he is an ok guy. That is to show that its a dream sequence already. He would not know about Ripley's distain for the company. Second one is in the dropship. The reason why Hicks is asleep. That is to show that he is a veteran. While the dude in charge have that fear look on his face Hicks is as calm and asleep like he done this a million times. Alot of nuances people miss throughout the movie.
If you end up watching Alien3 at some point, you have to watch the Assembly Cut, because it's much better than the cinematic cut.
That's like saying dog sh1t is much better than horse sh1t. I'd pass on both.
I can't believe it took 7 months to react to this all time great sequel, how dare you both but at least we've arrived and I really appreciate it so much.
well, "Alien" does shake up viewers, so I don't expect them to go from "Stardew Valley" to "Subnautica," for instance.;)
Hey, it’s better than 57 years. 😉
In SEGAS Aliens: Colonial Marines, you can find Hudson in the hive cocooned to a pillar with a nice hole coming from his chest.
This movie, including the cigar chomping Sergeant were the inspiration for halo.
Also, those long guns that were hip mounted, are called smart guns, and they aim for you. All you got to do is pull the trigger.
We wouldnt have Doom without Aliens. Then we probably wouldnt have Call of Duty either
Here’s a fun fact - the woman that plays Vasquez also played that sweet Irish mommy of the 2 kids in the Titanic 🤯
Please consider Dog Soldiers as a movie to watch some time, great film, massivly underated due to the lack of press it got on release. So many folk have never heard of it, but it's one of the best of it's kind.
That's among best Werewolf films I have seen.
It's bone
This is one of the best reactions to this movie I've ever seen. LMAO!
The last big nuclear explosion was actually made with a lightbulb and some cotton above it. Beats a lot of CGI nowadays
Paul Reiser, the actor who played Burke, brought his mother to the premier. When Burke was killed, she stood up and cheered.
"Right in the sack!" 😆 I love your reaction and I love this movie!
You love anything really easy then?
Super reaction. One of my fav movies ever as a kid. Enjoyed your reaction
Masterpiece ever. The best sequel ever.
Bill Paxton was killed on screen by a Terminator, Alien, and Predator... Lance Henrickson was killed by a Terminator, Alien, Predator, and Cenobite and got to see the aliens land at Devil's Tower!...
So epic
lol only 200 other people mentioned this already
12:58 "A lot.Maybe two." Yes. Yes, that's what we all thought, and then even after renting it over and over on VHS, we still couldn't believe how many of them there were, I mean, look at them there are several of them.
fun fact about the "face hugger": initially it was going to be painted black to match the xenomorph's full size alien shape but Ridley Scott seeing the prop in it's beige unpainted skin colored form he found it more unsettling and gross that way so he decided to left it that way
One of my all time favorites. I saw the rerelease at an OMNI theatre with my dad when I was probably 8 and have probably seen it 100+ times since
One of the few sequels that outshines the original.
I love how you were like - "look at the avatar mech suit...halo weapons...batmobile"...where do you think they ALL got the ideas from?..this movie was FIRST. ;)
How can you edit out the "Mummy" from Newt as she grabs Ripley. Carrie Henn (who played Newt) said the Assistant Director wanted to film the water scene the next morning so he had it heated overnight. Newt said in the morning it was too warm. So her and the "Alien" sat on the side bathing their feet in the water till it cooled down.
32:26 Bridget's face here is priceless. I think this is one of the scariest moments in the movie, to be fair!
8:12 LOL! Between thinking Apone's finger was his willy and then thinking he was eating a pickle seems like someone has something in particular in mind while watching this movie. 👌🤣
Aliens is a 10 out of 10! Loved both of your reactions to this masterpiece.
Yeah, we don't talk about Alien 3. It never happened. In fact, just assume that every movie made after this one is just Ripley having nightmares in her hypersleep. Life is better that way.
BTW, Paul Reiser (Burke, the company douche) is actually a comedian, so it's funny seeing him play such a role.
Ripley and Sarah Connor (Terminator 2) absolutely redefining the female action/hero before the media and political atmosphere created such an uproar about film television leads. Sigourney Weaver here is such a freaking badass, it's on a whole different level.
8:44 - Bill Paxton has the distinction of being the only actor to be killed by an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator.
LOL we were all sweating in the theater back in the day when it was on the big screen. It was terrifying and a wonderful memory as an 80s kid!
Ya, Bill Paxton... the only actor to be killed by a Predator, an Xeno-morph and a Terminator.
"Is the next one them waking up?"
_breathes deep..._
Did you guys know that "Vasquez" also played the foster mom in Terminator 2? Yeah - She got to have a stabby arm and everything :)
For decades I thought she said "Nuke the place for morbid".
"from orbit" makes a whole tonne more sense
I love how everybody thinks they are going to pull the same thing twice with the android. (And they starrt dislikng Bishop for no reason whatsoever, lol.)
RIPLEY WAS AMAZING
I LOVE your reactions! At one point you guys look like you both holding your breath at the same time😂
There's a cut of this movie that shows Newt's father being the first colonist to encounter a facehugger.
"They got those halo weapons"
I would say, halo has these alien weapons.
Good call
42:12 Queen takes Bishop.
Ripley fired the flamethrower to show the queen what it does, then pointed it at the eggs... That's why the queen and the other xenomorphs backed off.
One of the greatest sequels and sci-fi films ever made. And personally my favorite James Cameron film.
By the way the first one was made by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Gladiator).
Since y’all zoomed it in, I realized Vasquez looked to be telling Drake to grab Hudson’s hand for the knife trick.
Little fun fact, the lady at the Boardroom who spoke about no indigenous life, was played by Sigourney Weaver's mom.
No, she´s not. But the lady in photo of Ripley´s daughter Amanda, that´s Sigourney Weaver´s mom.
LOL you guys are a riot. Enjoyed watching this!
BURKE: Let's build a fire and sings some songs....
CODY: (deadpan) that's not helpful 😂🤣💀
The perfect gun to deal with Aliens is the Baking Soda grenade gun. 😂
They are ALL practical effects :D
"This is the opposite of terraforming." 😂
I love that Cody keeps referring to a multimillion dollar armored reconnaissance vehicle and troop transport as "the car"
I can tell you this much, nobody would steal your parking spot.
One thing I realised after watching this movie as a kid for the hundredth time was that Newt's rescue scene is almost exactly 15 minutes long from the time Ripley enters the elevator and the emergency system announces that there are only 15 minutes left.
In an alternate universe there's a version of this movie where the opening scene with the chestburster wasn't just a dream, Ripley is killed and a Queen establishes itself on that station.
Aliens is awesome but I want to see that movie.
About the infamous “xenomorph” line:
“Xenomorph” literally just means “alien life form”. It’s military jargon for extraterrestrial. The eponymous Alien has no actual name and this posed a problem for lots of expanded universe stuff and for fans (who are generally pretty OCD and aren’t satisfied with aliens not having a name). So, through misunderstanding and misuse, “Xenomorph” became shorthand for the alien creature even though it really shouldn’t. It’s a throwaway line of dialogue.
Naturally, people watching the film in the present misinterpret the marines as having some sort of foreknowledge when they really don’t. Nobody does.
Presumably, “bugs” and “bug-hunt”, would refer to either previously encountered unintelligent space vermin that military units would exterminate as part of routine colonial efforts. There are assets from the film production that allude to this- the nose art on a drop ship has an eagle with combat boots and the title BUG STOMPER.
And in the first film, the contract stipulates “intelligent” life rather than alien life and there are pre-existing quarantine protocols for any biological encounters.
Cameron did such an amazing job with this movie.
Movies overdramaticize depressurization in space. Normal atmospheric pressure is only 14 psi. Your car tire has over twice that.
Quite literally, if you had a puncture in your spaceship, you could plug it with your thumb and the worst that would happen is you might get a hickey.
I got to meet Lance Henriksen at a Max Monster event and got an autographed copy of his autobiography titled, “Not Bad For A Human” 😊
8:24 BRIGETTE!!!! I’m in complete tears 😂😂😂
