    This movie never gets old. I watch it once a year and can still feel the tension even though I always know what's gonna happen. It is a masterpiece. All the effects hold up to this day, the soundtrack is outright haunting, and Sigourney Weaver kills it! Best heroine in all of cinema.

    Something that everyone misses (unless you were there) is that movies used to have tag lines. Alien had perhaps the greatest of all, In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream. Predator 2 had a very good one. He's In L.A. With A few Days To Kill.

    This is the only movie Newt (Carrie Henn) was ever in- she decided she didn't want to be an actress and became an elementary school teacher instead. Her pupils were too young to see such a violent movie, but when their parents found out their child's teacher was actually Newt, they would stick posters and CDs into their kid's bookbags for her to sign.

    So glad you watched the theatrical version. The Special Edition retcons Ripley’s character in heavy handed ways and undoes her agency in some ways. It turns her into a trope. The theatrical cut maintains her independence from stereotypes and gives her better standing as a groundbreaking character.

    26:25 "yeah, but it's a dry heat" is a thing people say in the American southwest. Basically, it's hot but the humidity is so low your sweat evaporates quickly, so it's less swampy than places that are hot AND humid.

If he would have been killed by a Replicant, that would have been the ultimate Grand Slam! The droid here in Terminator Alien 3! Reese also in Terminator 2 and the Abyss! The knife trick, bill Paxton didn't know he was going to be part of it and his arm and body were held down!

    58:00 at this point in the movie, the aliens are already pretty much decimated. A scene present in the director's cut - and not in this theatrical cut - shows the Marines deploying automatic turrets (called "sentry guns") that massacre the aliens before they manage to find another path as we later see in the film. This is why Ripley managed to survive in the nest.

    Also interviews with Weaver, and another with Carrie Henn (Newt) who only started doing 'cons many years later.
    Some people complain they must have terrorized the girl making the movie, but she said it was fun hanging out and training with the actors being soldiers, and watching the SFX people. She and the stuntman & puppeteers playing the alien in the water practised and spent a lot of time setting it up, and she said it was a challenge knowing that it all came down to getting her reactions in a few seconds of screen time, for a full day's work for a lot of people.

    Ripley is how you do a boss babe. She's not a bitch, not a man in woman's clothes, she's tough but still feminine, shows good leadership skills under stress, and still has a good male/female sex tension dynamic. Everything she does is either by the book or done for a strategic reason. She lays into Hudson to keep him from panicking. She doesn't try to pull rank over Hicks or tell him how to do his job as he's the soldier, not her. Everything she does comes off as believable all the way down to how they fit in her ability to pilot the loading mech. She shows some fear and vulnerability when recounting her story. It's a damn shame that they cant seem to write strong women like this anymore.

    I saw this when it came out in the theater, I was like 21.
    My take on it was that they wanted Ripley dead because she was the only loose end in their attempt to bring the organism back the first time. They were gaslighting her and trying to make it look like she didn't know what the hell she was talking about and that none of that ever happened but she knows it did and we know it did. They were trying to get her back out there so that they could get rid of her once and for all and Burke would indeed then sabotage the Marines' cryosleep chambers so that the company could then have the organism with no one who would say anything about it until they could get it under their control and patents. Burke didn't take her out there as an adviser, he took her out there as a host body to smuggle a zenomorph back in.

    All the information Ripley gives at the hearing caused them to gather all the files and information from that mission which likely had been closed do to loss of contact all this time. When they realize it isn't a loss but an opportunity things go wrong and asking Ripley to go in my opinion was one way to shut her up and isolate her from the public when the colony goes silent - and she knows why.

    this is by far the best sequel to any movie ever.... you should watch the special edition of Aliens, it gives you just a little more insight for why Ripley and Newt bond so closely.
    fun fact,
    when Cameron was writing the script for Aliens he had a pic of Sigourney Weaver on his desk and he dubbed the Movie the battle of the mothers.
    Bill Paxton was the only actor to be killed by a Alien, Terminator and a Predator in the movies.
    the pic of Ripley's daughter in the special edition is actually a pic of Sigourney's mother.
    The bit where Drake takes Hudson's hand and puts it under Bishops hand for the knife bit, Bill didn't know he was going to do that so it was a real response to what happened because he was surprised because that wasn't in the script but Cameron liked it so he left it in.
    Jim's mother was a very strong willed woman and she encouraged his creativity and his father was the opposite, that is why he writes good strong women rolls.

    "How did he know Ripley was driving"? Who else would it be? Burke? Gorman? Newt? I think the soldier know who would be driving this thing. Ripley is the only answer.

    Hey, Reembok! This is one of the best sequels ever made!
    Unfortunately, you did not see the superior SPECIAL EDITION version which has the Amanda Ripley scene, the functioning colony scene, Newt's family's discovery of the derelict ship scene, the automated gun scene, the Hudson speculation about queen ants scene and the name exchange scene. Those scenes provide a great deal more context and character beats lacking in the theatrical version you saw. It is the version both James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver prefer.
    The future Ripley inhabits is implied to be a dystopic corporatocracy. The most pervasive and powerful corporate entity is the Weyland-Yutani Company, a 22nd-century version of the British East India Company of the 17th- to 19th-centuries. It is a multinational conglomerate involved in robotics, interstellar transport and terraforming with a stake in every colony world. The Company is the TRUE VILLAIN of the Alien universe. Ash and Burke were following a secret corporate mandate to obtain a xenomorph specimen in order to profit from research and weaponization.
    The colonists who venture beyond the compound like Newt's parents are prospectors who can lay a claim to any discovery they make. The Company would get a large percentage of the find but the colonist would own a piece. A valuable ore would mean a fortune! After Burke heard Ripley's story, he contacted the colony boss to dispatch someone to the coordinates Ripley had indicated in her report with no warning of danger. He must have done a little digging and found out about the Company Directive to investigate any possible sign of intelligent life and to bring back a specimen. He sent Newt's family straight to the derelict ship.
    Neither Hicks nor Apone were treating Ripley in a sexist manner when she offered to help prep. They regarded her as a civilian. They were both accustomed to females in their unit such as medic Dietrich, pilot Ferro and heavy-gunner Vasquez. When she demonstrates her proficiency with the loader, they were laughing good-naturedly at her bravado and their own underestimation of her abilities.
    Some trivia:
    The picture of Ripley's elderly daughter in the Special Edition is actually Sigourney Weaver's real-life mother!
    The late Al Matthews, who played Sgt. Apone, was a true-blue Marine who was the first black man to be promoted to Sergeant in the Corps during his service in Vietnam!
    The knife-trick scene was originally supposed to be performed by Lance Henriksen alone but he convinced director James Cameron to surprise Bill Paxton by involving him as they shot the scene! Paxton's wide-eyed terror is completely real!
    Fan favorite Vasquez is played by non-Hispanic Jenette Goldstein! She goes out like a warrior and enables Gorman to reclaim his honor.
    Ms. Goldstein now is the proprietress of a Los Angeles-based boutique that specializes in bespoke large-size bras! The motto of her company is, "At Jenette's, the alphabet begins with 'D'."!
    Bishop's programming to not harm humans or allow them to come to harm through inaction is ripped straight from Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics!
    Carrie Henn, who played Newt, never acted again but became a schoolteacher. She still maintains a correspondence relationship with Sigourney Weaver thirty-seven years later.
    The late Bill Paxton, who has the distinction of being attacked on screen by an Alien, a Terminator and a Predator, will NEVER be forgotten for his reading of the line, "Why don't you put HER in charge?", referring to little Newt in her oversized helmet. Lol.
    "ALIEN 3: ASSEMBLY CUT" is a DIVISIVE film but it's an EXCELLENT entry in the series. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU SEE IT!!! Many will try to dissuade you but it is ESSENTIAL VIEWING! It's directed by David Fincher and features Charles Dance and Charles Dutton. It's brutal, fast-paced, has a solid cast, has some extraordinary scares, provides new insight into the creature, presents a fascinating dilemma and concludes the trilogy elegantly. I strongly encourage you NOT TO SKIP IT! Make sure you see the ASSEMBLY CUT (Special Edition with longer runtime). It is available on Redbox and right here on YT. "Alien Resurrection" is the optional one because it's a hot mess except for one cool aquatic sequence. The ambitious prequels, "Prometheus" and "Covenant", mark director Ridley Scott's return to the series but they are mostly good JUST for Michael Fassbender's performances. Scott demystifies the creature and unsatisfyingly attempts to address who the elephant-headed pilot of the derelict spacecraft was.

    I have done a detailed breakdown before, but to simplify why Ripley doesn't encounter more Aliens when rescuing Newt;
    The colony only had 158 people.
    Minus Newt, that's 157 hosts under perfect circumstances.
    Less than 157 died as hosts.
    Some Aliens (and potential hosts) were lost fighting the colonists.
    MANY Aliens were lost storming the sentry guns. ( cutscene from the superior director's cut)
    Only a handful remain to guard the Queen when Ripley encounters her.

    Ripley is really something! One of the best characters ever created and portrayed so impressively by Sigourney Weaver! Even though Alien 3 and 4 aren't as good as the first two, they're worth watching just so you can see Ripley's story continuation and conclusion. As for the origin of the aliens themselves, I suggest watching Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, in that order, as they're exactly about that. basically like prequels to the Alien series.

      He's also one of three other actors from Aliens (Counting the Special Edition) who was a voice actor on Starfleet, a British redub of a Japanese sci-fi marionet series that ran on British TV in 1980. "Sarge" was the voice of country-boy bad ass Barry Hercules and Mark Rolston (Drake), voiced the pudgy comic relief character

    You might recognize the actor that plays Bishop. The synthrtic droid. He played the white police detective in the first Terminator. His partner kept telling him to call her again! Referring to Sarah Connor, but not getting an answer.
    You might also recognize Michael Biehn. He is Corporal Hicks in this movie. Also known as Kyle Reese from the future in The Terminator.
    Lastly, you might recognize Colonial Marine Hudson, played by Bill Paxton. He was the punker who had the spiked blue hair at the beginning of The Terminator film. He didn't last long. He lasts longer here in this film. -OG

    For a bit of inside on the xemorphs, definitely check out the "prometheus" movie, if you want to continue this series. Its a prequel to the alien movies. Without spoiling too much its gives insight on the sub species of the xemorphs and also another ET lifeform. In alien: convent(the second prequel) the xemorphs were rediscovered by originally being extinct for a long time.

    The scene where Hudson is teasing Vasquez- "They said alien and she thought they meant illegal alien"- was based on an incident from the casting. Jenette Goldstein (Vasquez) thought the movie was about illegal aliens from Mexico, and thinking there would be part for a hooker/stripper type, showed up in a tight mini-skirt and high heels.

    57:20 - I remember back in the day, when they showed clips from this scene in the trailers with Ripley shooting the gun like a bad-arse, I knew right then and there that I had to see this movie! 😁 This movie was also groundbreaking for the time it came out. There really wasn't many female heroes in films at this time, especially like Ripley. It's more common these days, but back then, no. Women were mostly portrayed as the "damsels in distress", but never as the bad-arse who could handle herself, and do the rescuing.

      Side note: I was ten when it came out and the trailers looked like the best thing I had ever seen, but some of my older friends now who were in their late teens or twenties it came out have told me they thought the trailers made it look ridiculously awful and were all predicting it would flop. When it finally came out, all of them went back and saw it multiple times. 🤣
