- With Alien: Covenant hitting U.S. theaters soon, we thought we'd go back to the franchise and look for sins in the infamous sequel, Aliens. Guess what? We found some!!
May is Mental Health Month, and it's a subject that means a lot to us here at CinemaSins.
In fact, we’re partnering with Mental Health America (MHA) to not only to raise awareness of mental health issues - but also to raise a little money, too. We’ve got a brand-new Cinema Sins t-shirt in the shop, and all of the profits from the sale of the shirt will be donated to our friends at MHA.

I couldn't imagine how many times I've seen Aliens and yet I never had that "Queen takes Bishop!" joke come to to mind.
I don't mean to be a dick here, but seriously never? We used to make that joke as kids watching this film. I've heard people say "Queen takes Bishop" at that point in the film so much I kinda groaned when Jeremy said it.
I'm with Snadzies...this was the first time I'd ever heard of that joke. It's a good one...I'm also slightly embarrassed that I never thought of it myself, but I'm not much of a chess person.
Neither have I - and i can't count how many times I have watched this movie.
Bc Chess isn't funny tp get it. :D I can't believe a grown man thought of others "morning wood" when they were likely going to be fighting aliens later on.. (I added thr last in case he's into dudes, Bc u never know)
Snadzies as soon as he said that I was like "why didn't I think of that????" Lol
No sin off for the fact that for once they get the countdown at the end exactly right? The movie tells us the explosion happens in 15 minutes, and it takes exactly 15 minutes of movie time to get there.
They probably didn't think to time it since it was that long and everyone is used to timer being wrong. That's awesome though. High five to whomever edited the movie.
That wreaks of James Cameron, that brilliantly anal bastard.
I watched it yesterday and I checked the timing, I thought it all happened quicker though... So I thought the complex starts exploding here and there earlier than notified, due to pressure... Your comment makes me doubt now, I gotta re-watch it :)
It wasn't the last time James Cameron did something like that. In Titanic, all the scenes set in 1912 total up to 2 hours and 40 minutes, which was the exact time it took for the actual Titanic to sink after it hit the iceberg. Cameron is probably the most OCD filmmaker of all time.
Its nice but isn't it simple enough to count how long the scene is and record the countdown announcement after? No need for editing genius.
I always felt that they were impressed by Ripley operating the mech suit because they had assumed she was just a civilian they were gonna have to babysit, not someone who would actually be useful and pull their own weight.
Operating the mech suit is her full-time job, so they were probably blown away watching a certified expert do it instead of the clumsy way they are used to seeing it done in the fleet.
@@CountArtha Nah, it was just their reaction that she was trying to fit in with the grunts... she didn't sit with them during lunch, she sat with Gorman and Burke, so they assumed she was a stuck up civilian, but now she's showing a few practical skills and bonding with the Sgt and Cpl, so that's the dynamic going on there.
Yeah, I always got that, too. Apone asked, "I don't know, is there anything you can do?" as if he thought the answer was, "Sure, I can get coffee and file stuff and maybe bake you some muffins!" Then he got pwned by a civvie who actually knows her ass from a hole in the ground and works for a livin'.
DeepSeaValkyrie *Cough* Sexism *Cough*
I don't know how to operate a forklift...I've seen some RUclips videos on how to accidentally destroy a warehouse inventory with one though. :-p Also, not everyone in the military gets forklift training and/or certification.
The answer is nothing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie. It is perfection
no it isn't
Couldn’t agree more!
Bill Paxton had the best lines in film history.
Perfection ha? 😂
Even Terminator: Dark Fate makes more sense than any of the Alien shit.
But as a jump scare movie, it's passable IMO.
Could not agree more. This movie, specially compared with todays woke garbage standards, is a perfect masterpiece.
Bill Paxton is a National Treasure. Because he is the only person in this movie to be killed by an Alien a Predator and a Terminator.
Rest in peace.
He did have a few James Cameron movies. I forgot about him being in Predator 2 until recently when it was on. TBH it's not a very memorable of a movie
Lance Henriksen
And he was NOT mentioned in the Academy Awards Memorium for that year. How about a sin for THAT!
@@Excelsior731 That is a big SIN
I can't believe that had completely escaped my notice! Gods, I'm thick....
The Alien appearing behind Newt is such an amazing shot, deserved a sin knocked off.
as did, "you ever been confused for a man? No, have you?
The husk?
In no way does the stunt man in that alien suit compare to Bolaji Badejo from the first film. His physique was truly unique as his arms and legs were slightly longer than usual and he stood 6'10. The alien that emerges behind Plot Point Girl looks like a cosplayer.
RIP Bolaji Badejo. Glad you never had to reprise your role in these crappy sequels.
In military speak saying "Look into my eye" while opening it wider (sometimes with your middle finger) means "Look into my eye and see how much I don't give a f**k."
ty for explaining because that joke just drove by me when i first watched it
It would have worked a whole lot better if he hadn't been holding the cigar. The index finger interfered with a great visual.
Al Matthews (Apone) was a Marine sergeant in Vietnam so he was well acquainted with the gesture and military culture. I learned the gesture when I went into the military in the mid-80s.
Lazarus Long
Thank you!! 😁 I never had any damn clue.
I always thought he was just flipping him off but it wasn't obvious cuz he was holding a cigar.
Well, at the very least, Ripley’s daughter had the chance to live out her life in peace to a ripe old age. Thanks to her mom, she never had to encounter the xeno... oh wait..
*Alien isolation intensifies*
@@Apache115 Such a good game
@@BoltBarkingatthemoon Alien Isolation would be such a great concept for a sequel, taking place between the timeline of Alien and Aliens after Ripley goes missing, her daughter grows up and goes looking for her.

I don’t get it.
On sight mostly.
Nice
Hans solo.
“Have you ever been mistaken for a man?”
“No, have you?”
That’s at least 5 sins off
It's banter between the marines that makes this movie.
They fuck with each other constantly like a real close group would.
They're undocumented xenomorphs.....racist.
Yes minus 5 at least
@@randyralls9658 Game over man!, Game over!
still can't believe it was John Connor's foster mum in T2...
Only 3 sins removed for one of the most badass moments in movie history? Goddamn groot got 5 just for being in the movie...
Bret Sheeley no you arnt, it say you are Bret sheeley
Right?? I'm shocked he chose to remove only three! I was expecting at LEAST 10!!!
Because the final count would be less than a 100. This movie deserve a 100/100 even on CinemaSins !
Space Bitch calling Alien Queen a bitch, that's just like the pot calling the kettle black. ding+1
He also sinned the fact that the grunts didn't do the promethius running away cliche. That should've been a -5.
Burke: "This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it."
Ripley: "Well they can BILL me."
Ripley's the best.
Easy for her to say. She didn't even get the bill for the starfreighter which she blew up. That was expensive too, so I was told.
My parents actually explained the reason why Ripley started setting fire to the eggs around 12:50.
There was an unspoken deal between Ripley and the Xenomorph Queen. Ripley showed the queen that her flamethrower worked, and if she wasn't allowed to take Newt and leave safely, she would torch the eggs. The queen, understanding this, allowed Ripley to take Newt, but, being the evil xenomorph that she is, the queen tried to sneakily hatch one of the eggs prematuraley to get Ripley and Newt. In responce, Ripley spoke in the launguage of flamethrowers "that wasn't the deal" and torched the open egg and closed eggs.
That's how I saw it too. If you don't kill my baby, then I won't kill your babies. THAT was why Ripley gave the queen that nasty "how dare you" look hen the egg hatched. The Alien queen had broken the deal.
Sorry, but that would make too much sense and Cinemasins wouldn't be able to make his point.
I've altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further.
or the fokin eggs just opened randomly at that time x)
thats how it was meant but come on, the queen activating one of her eggs? I always thought the eggs would react to body temperature or something (the only explanation I came up with)
I say the queen held the other xenomorphs back but the egg hatching was just random so the deal was broken
🇺🇸When Sgt Apone says “Look into my eye”, it’s a way of flipping someone off by using the middle finger while pointing at ones eye.
Old school diss lol.
I never understood that line. Always thought it was generic though guy talk they just made up.
@@Lordoftheswollen It is a old-school military saying, the full sentence is "Look into my eye, do you see any tears?" which is used to depict that the situation at hand is not something to cry over, they have a job to do and that is all that matters. Also... this moment is a lowkey insult as he drops his eyelid with the middle finger.
YES! I'm surprised he didnt know that!
YES! I'm surprised he didnt know that!
Finally that line makes sense. Thanks.
Them firing weapons in the first encounter with the Aliens is why the whole facility explodes in the end. Burke didn't say if they fire their weapons this place will immediately explode the instant a bullet hits. It is a nuclear reactor, it takes a few hours to melt down. There is even a scene where Bishop points out the emergency venting and says that they have 4 hours from that point to get off the planet.
And yes, Burke found some unconscious face huggers, the live ones in the jars. They even show the empty jars they were in. Jeremy really slipping on this one.
The weapons fire didn't cause the emergency venting. It was the dropship crashing into the processor that caused it.
Yeah, huge mistakes -_-
xbeaker wrong, the UD-4L Cheyenne dropship (the Bug Stomper) flown by Ferro and Spunkmeyer that were both killed in-flight by a xenomorph, crashed into the APC and atmosphere processer and caused the subsequent meltdown of the reactor
The drop ship caused the explosion, not them shooting weapons.
GankbotShuk I mean too be fair it's easy to see why he thought that they did make a point to say that would happen if they fired live rounds. in fact the ship crashing might have only solidified and already inevitable meltdown.
I love that he didn’t even comment on the ridiculousness of Ripley’s one elbow vs. THE ENTIRE VACCUM OF SPACE.... just a simple, firm “no” 😂
What I can't understand is, this movie is so simple yet so effective, you'd expect a hundred films like this to happen afterwards. Yet here we are.
Alien 1 + 2 had good, believable ensemble casts and a claustrophobic setting. Alien 3 kinda had it, personally I don't think it's a terrible film, but you know, issues. All the rest after that had neither.
Efe Aybi?
I love this movie....but I have to say only in movies they would redeploy her with that much PTSD.....
Starship Troopers
@@SONYLEGEND You know that's right
It hadn't occurred to me that Aliens hadn't been done yet here.
"Queen takes Bishop" Well played.
Jaeus A Apart from the chess reference, is there anything I'm missing here?
maybe the band queen and elvin bishop .....but i dont know can somebody explain
Hahahahahahahahaha, 17 years later and i take the joke :P
Newt has stayed alive for months-
Paxton: Why don’t we put her in charge?”
Best line in the film -
10 sins off
Yeah and it's also notable that Newt,as a pre-teen girl with no training and weapons,stayed alive for months(she's a young child so she's small and thin thus she can hide much more effectively than an adult could-I remember all of the tight spaces I could fit into and squeeze through when I was a little kid).
You’re one of those
@@JR-ju3kj I usta climb up and down the houses 3 story laundry chute when I was a kid sometimes just to sneak into my older brother's room, after he put locks on his main door, just to play a computer game known as escape velocity lmao.
Eventually he put a lock on the laundry chute lmao.
Pretty sure Hudson asking that, he's being sarcy, only really because he's pissed and has a breakdown until his last stand.
Agreed. It got a huge laugh in the theater where I watched it... 36 years ago. Wow.
Bruh, hitting things to make them work wasn't cliche in the 90's, it was how you made electronics work.
"The Queen takes Bishop" should be a sin removal.
No sin removal for “Its game over man! Game over!”?
Or "express elevator to hell...Going down"
YO STOP YOUR GRINNING AND DROP YOUR LINEN...
Hudson actually didn't die in this movie
Hey, maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked pal!
Yeah man, but it's a dry heat
Maybe we got 'em demoralized
etc etc. Hudson is one of the most quotable characters in cinema history
How about the one that backfired "Vazquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man"?
Vazquez " No, have you "?
The fact that this movie is completely re-watchable a full 30 years after its release should absolve it of all of its sins.
I saw Alien Covenant yesterday. This movie is masterpiece. Covenant is masterouch
how? its not out yet!
It is.
covenant comes out tommorow
It differes in many countries. First Alien Covenant movie was shown 2 days back - and that is what I know. Maybe there was even earlier screening.
I can tell you how it ends.. if you do not believe I seen this:D
And I tell you - if Prometheus was considered problematic..you will love Prometheus after that:D
I love when Ripley gives the iconic line and CinemaSins simply takes off the sins without explanation.
R.I.P. Bill Paxton
I always looked forward to seeing what character he would play whenever he was in a movie. I especially liked him in "Edge of Tomorrow".
@@raydunakin, Me too... :( On both things. Edge of Tomorrow is such a nice film.
I love the "Bitch!" quote as much as anyone...
But I am constantly dismayed at how underappreciated the "gearing up" sequence is...
Here's Ripley, confronting her greatest living Hell of being trapped with hundreds of the same monsters who killed all her crew members and damn near killed her. She's seen dozens more be killed by same monsters since arriving on the planet. Genuinely scared for her life, trying to evacuate to safety, she suddenly loses her newly found surrogate daughter to the horde of monsters... and what does she do?
She duct-tapes a goddamn flamethrower and an assault rifle together and _marches straight down there to get her back!_
That is _way_ more badass to me than even the final confrontation...
Agreed. Instead of looking at it as magically becoming proficient with weapons, I look at it as mix of determination and desperation.
To be honest you don't need to be a gun expert to shoot someone. I mean, go through ten minutes of gun training and you'll immediately know how to use one. Doesn't mean you will be accurate, but you still will know how to use it.
*Looks at Forgotten Camel with narrowed eyes*
Being accurate, knowing how to load and shoot under pressure, very, very underrated in movies lol. Then again, most idiots thinks its realistic when the main character can blast away soldiers whether they have weapon/military training or not.
I'm assuming you've never used a gun before... I mean seriously. When I shot a shotgun for the first time It wasn't even that hard to reload or even aim with the darn thing. some guy threw like 5 skeets and i hit 3, for the first time! Ever since I've been hooked on guns and the only trouble you'll have with it is cleaning it well enough so that the gun does not malfunction. What about a regular gun with a mag? Again, not that hard to reload with a magazine. It's not rocket science like you claim it to be. You do not need military training to use one. One more thing, she is not fighting soldiers. If she were, things should have gone way differently.
Ok kid... ok...
Everything wrong with aliens: 0:01 second long video with a picture of the word Nothing

@@bitterdbyu5291 If done in a funny way, otherwise it just comes off as just really bitter, petty, and humorless. Probably about time cinemasins did another one about themselves, or maybe another comedy channel did one about them.

The hypersleep chamber was set for cat, that's why Ripley aged 7 years and the cat not at all.
That's awesome. I like you.
irllcd13 lol!
LOVE IT!! 🐱👍
Brilliant!
very clever! ;) Let'S go with that!!!
My favorite film of all time. There's "NOTHING" wrong with this utter masterpiece. Cinematic gold. I will go as far as saying how dare you slate this movie.
Totally. I f'ckin' love this movie. Also, when I was a young teenager, I had the biggest crush on Vasquez!
I knew a comment like this would be embedded here. The reason why EVERY movie contains sins is because movies aren't based on reality, so reality can be circumvented in order to further the plot. That doesn't take away from the movie's brilliance, however.
@@Marchant2yup agreed, and I still love watching cinemasins when I can't be bothered with the movie
A good film but far from perfect.
OMG! I'm a chess buff, and the chess reference, "Queen takes Bishop" never occurred to me. I feel like a real pawn.
H.D. Armstrong Ehhhhhh😂
Well you got rooked out of that one.
@@MaCabaret LOL, Check, and Mate!
On TOP of all that, Chess is a Exactly where Bishop's name came from...
Someone beat the Bishop...
You went on about 'how did Burke manage to get the facehuggers in the medical lab to attack Ripley and Newt' but it's obvious!! They discovered there were two live ones in the medical lab when they first arrived and, while Ripley and Newt were asleep, Burke simply released them from their tanks, took Ripley's gun, ran out the room and locked them in. The fact that Ripley saw the empty tank on the floor when she woke up is what made her realise the facehuggers were loose. I don't know how you missed that.
But the question is how Burke got both facehuggers into the room and out of the tanks without getting a face full of alien wingwong. As soon as you open one you're gonna have a bad day. Now, it's possible that he set one tank in the room still partially sealed and then chucked the second one at it with the seal broken. However, the fact that he pulled that bullshit off without once again getting a face full of alien wingwong AND successfully releasing both facehuggers is still worthy of a sin.
I will say that even if those facehugger were alive, they were weak. They were maintain partially colder environment than an original egg. So, they could be studied...until one of them got the scientist or doctor and an infestation started...or whatever. The idea is that the facehuggers were put in the room in their canister, unlock or unsealed and left them until they were strong enough to escape and start hunting... (my guess...)
"As annoying as Hudson is in this movie..."
Hudson is one of the best, and most iconic parts of this movie.
Yeah I had to turn it off after that.
I lasted another minute or so after, but my heart wasn't in it.
I'm generally not a fan of Bill Paxton's acting (nothing to do with his skill, just a style preference) but he was one of the best things about Aliens. He had so many of the best lines with great delivery: "Game over man!" "Why don't you put [Newt] in charge?"
The guy who was constantly complaining and not helping anyone do anything? Yeah I was watching for the Xenomorphs but okay.
Every time I watch it I hope this time he will make it.... breaks my heart to see him go. True warriors don’t go down with out a fight.
I watched Aliens last night and finally figured out how the aliens got inside the complex through the floor and ceiling. There was a scene earlier when the sentry guns were firing at a massive onslaught of xenomorphs. Well since they bleed acid they basically all got riddled with bullets. The spatter and gushing of acid caused massive holes in the metal structure all around them. So those bled out, sacrificing themselves so the others could get inside. This was never addressed in the movie but thinking with xenomorph hive mindset, that’s definitely how I would approach the situation.
yeah the aliens are actually super intelligent, the highest they tested in one of the novels or comics was an IQ of 175, the average human IQ is 100. the alien queens are also sapient and can make plans/think ahead etc. this intelligence explains also some of the behaviour of the aliens, like when newt fell down and only one alien went for her, why? because she was no danger to the hive and just one is enough to deal with her, or why the queen went up into space with the survivors, because that queen knew very well that shit was about to explode on the planet and that ship was her only escape.
@@possemis The thing about the Queen hiding on the dropship to escape the blast has always bothered me. Where exactly was she hiding? When you see the dropship in space going back to the Sulaco you can clearly see the landing skids are drawn back into the ship and she's not clinging to anything. So like... where was she hiding? Alien Queens are massive so it would have had to be a place on the ship big enough to conceal her presence, right?
@@SniffHeinkel Yeah I never understood that part either. I even paused at the scene where the landing gear was lifting upwards and I saw no sign of the queen...well anywhere. It's like she disappeared from that scene very briefly.
the thing is NOTHING just happens in a movie when its not showed or mentioned
but of course theres always room for fan theories
If you watch Alien: Resurrection, the xenomorphs do use this trick to get out of their cage (by killing one of their own)
Hey they established hypersleep prevents aging. It would also keep them in peak physical condition for combat rather then spending two weeks or more confined to a space ship. It greatly reduces the need for food and clean water. Even for the short time they traveled in this movie hypersleep seems very reasonable.
Take those sins away.
She shouldn’t have aged at all so still a sin
dianna k Oh I am sorry. Continuity doesn’t care lmao.
Faceplam... these complaint comments do they not know that all movies have sins?
It also saves on air and having to keep the ship pressurized.
Help is 17 days away, that doesn't mean the base they launched from is 17 days away. It could have been several months away.
There's a persistent theory that hyperdrive in the Alien universe has a time-distortion effect. So a 17-day trip causes months to pass inside the ship, thus the need for hypersleep.
Former Marine. Combat seating is a thing. Take a seat with all your gear, ready for action. Get out of the vehicle in assigned order, rifleman first to provide cover. Maybe heavy gun to ward off enemies. Depends on mission. Blah, blah.
Take that sin away.

God Bless you soldier
Narrator doesn't know what he's talking about 85% of the time. Seems to watch movies through eyes of the ignorant masses, rather taking into context the story lines/reasons and meanings of what's going on in any particular movie. I used to think this channel was funny, but now it's more annoying then anything. Glad youtube unsubscribed me.
Kyle Yrman ....it wasn’t that serious, take a joke bud 😂
@@jokrhntr1351 I'm glad youtube unsubscribed you, too, although if you could refrain from coming here on your own too that would be even better.
That scene of Ripley burning the Alien queens eggs is probably one of the most iconic moments in cinema history. That's gotta be worth at least -50 sins.
True, but the question is, if she _hadn't_ wasted her time burning the eggs, then would the queen have followed? I would say not. So all she did was (essentially) kill Bishop and nearly herself and Newt.... Too much Cinesins
Ripley's decision to burn the eggs is a genuine sin because Ripley is supposed to be the character that provides wise counsel. However, in this case her actions make no sense even on a surface level - ie even an idiot would have realised there is no point at all taking any diversion to destroy things in a facility that is going to be destroyed in 10 minutes anyway. This is one of the few genuine sins in the film
@@magrathean0 But if she hadn't burned the eggs, she would have been chased by the facehugger that had just hatched.
@@fazdoll you have a point. I had forgotten about that thing
@@niemanickurwa fuck you there is no sins in this movie its perfect it is horror survival horror and science fiction perfection so eat shit haters!!!!
You'd honestly be shocked at how many times in the military we actually hit things to make them work. That isn't a sin, it's just reality.
There's literally a field phone that we used for decades in artillery that actually has a procedure for troubleshooting in the manual called the "drop test". You hold the thing at waist level and literally just drop it onto a hard surface. It fixes it 99 percent of the time.
Probably knocking a dry solder joint back into place (no military experience, but a bunch of work with electronics).
Have a great day.
@347Jimmy lol in this case, you'd know more than me. I just know it says "drop it" and I've watched my Marines whip the thing into the side of a concrete bunker and it starts working again.
I assume it's magic.
"Everything Wrong With Aliens"?
"Remember, short, controlled bursts."
I like how that portrays Hicks as the solid, sensible one, right before everybody else just freaks out. You can see why Hicks looks so burned-out, dealing with these idiots.
This is one of the very few sequels that completely and totally changed the tone from the original and ended up being just as good, possibly better than the original. The first one is a top notch horror classic with some of the scariest imagery ever and the sequel is a top notch action movie with some spooky moments.
Yep I agree but they should have stopped after Aliens before they undid all the good they did with the first two with the sequels.
Just like The Terminator and T2.
Yes exactly.
ZergrushEddie I agree, it was a badass sequel. I remember seeing it when it came out in theaters back in 1986. When Ripley appeared in the robot loader and said "Get away from her you bitch!", the audience actually cheered. Wow has it been 30 years? I'm old.
Aliens is still incredibly scary!
It's not JUST an Action Movie!
TBH I'd say it's MORE Scary than the original because it shows more what the Xenomorphs can do and to humans who actually know how to fight back rather than average joe's in a mining vessel!
Plot twist: Ripley didn't "drift" for 57 years. She got picked up after 6 weeks and kept in hypersleep in a movie prequel that will never get made.
I’m honestly surprised they didn’t do that yet. Merchandising creates no endings to story apparently. The game Alien Isolation is something in between Alien and the time of Aliens.
Audible made a "radio-drama" type production where Ripley ends up on another adventure long before the 57-year mark. "Alien: Out of the Shadows" it was called. Did a good job -- even got all the sound effects right and found a woman who sounds exactly like Sigorney Weaver.
@@stevenscott2136 Nice! I didn't know about that! 😎
10:20
The movie explains that Burke used the two facehuggers in the freezing containers Bishop told Ripley about earlier at 9:50 in your video. Burke unscrewed the lids just enough for the facehuggers to escape, slid them into the room and locked the door. The facehuggers were already frozen in stasis by Bishop and took a while to wake up. It shows a shot of the specimen freezing containers knocked over near the door. So that's obviously not a sin, given the movie actually explains it if you're paying attention. And basically it's exactly what you said.... He used the unconscious ones Bishop had frozen on his orders.
You can't expect cinema sins to go around paying attention to the movies it is sinning...
@@neilholmes8200 He had one job!
Yes, this sin confused me as well. This is explained pretty blatantly and its obvious what had happened, but I have seen the movie dozens of times so I guess I can understand them missing it.
You all didnt notice how he ridiculed the si
n where they used the explosive shells which in turned TRIGGERED the nuclear reaction which was why they had to remote dial another ship down. Also, the reason why they didn't leave a crewman behind was because they were able to remote dial the Sulaco from the APC, but didn't account for the APC getting destroyed, Their secondary option using the colony transmitter from the command center, which they didnt expect the direct line from being damaged by the explosions/alien gunfights from the civilians. Also, Hudson did look for the colonists first thing from their PDT's, but he had to screen the entire colony and finally found them under the thermal regulators under the nuclear reactor. Boss went to school and didnt pay attention.

Well and Ripley is one of the best bad-ass women in movies ever. I sort of miss when movie characters had character, Ripley is far from perfect but at least she developed over the cause of her franchise(I'm not counting the clone from the 4th? movie).
@@arcticwolf6402 On so many levels more than the shit you probably watch.

#6 Wasn't Ripley's ship putting out a distress-signal?
Those go like, FOREVER in every direction.
So it's not like they just ran into her.
Yeah. That's why the dialogue mentions something like 'you're lucky we picked you up"; the salvage team that finds Ripley is referring to 'picking up' her distress signal, rather than physically stumbling on her by chance.
@@jasonarthurs3885 in actuality her beacon failed, so she was indeed stumbled on by chance, though that was the salvagers did; look for stuff. It's also why they were disappointed when they found her alive. It meant they weren't able to profit from a (nearly) functional free shuttlecraft they found just floating around in space.
This video made me watch the film for the first time in years and I can honestly say it still stands up after 31 years.
200 years from now (if we make it that far) people will still consider this one of the best action movies ever made.
Atheist Orphan,
I have it the deluxe director's cut. I let no one get to it.
Terry - is there a big difference? I've never seen the director's cut, and was going to show Alien and Aliens to my husband, who's never seen them. Should I try to get my hands on that version? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Clair Pettie,
Actually I would because Cameron puts back the deleted scenes like the robot sentries in the corridor and Burke being cocooned.
Thanks, Terry!
Avatar gets 4 minutes. This masterpiece gets 16 minutes. We need to have a healthy discussion here, Mr. Sins.
WarlordRising Im with ya on this one...
WarlordRising Johnny Sins?
that this is a great movie
That was one of their early videos, when they didn't sin as much. If they re-did Avatar now, it would be longer.
Its not a reflection on quality of the movie. Cinemasins has gotten a lot better at counting sins over the years!
These videos mostly come out in the morning. Mostly.
in some interview the girl actor said that she heard about that line for a looong time :/
R.I.P. LEE
"space is like, really, REALLY big". I am so happy this channel exists. Seriously, it's a big part of the positive part of my life. I love laughing and there aren't many media out there that can make me lough uncontrollable a few times every viedo they make. Just thank you that you exist. And have a nice day!
That may be so. But still +1 sin to cinema sind for stealing from hitchhikers guide yet again.
Fuck....I'm ashamed to admit that I laughed really hard at the 'queen takes bishop' joke.
Braeden Mclean same
Yeah, same, I'd never thought of that before.
as a spanish speaker, i didn't get the chess reference at first........
I'm more annoyed that I didn't think of that joke in the last 31 years
I get that it's chess reference but what's the joke? Is it a sign of a bad player when you lose your bishop to a queen or.... what?
The only sin of this movie is the one you'll commit if you never watched it
Actually the fact that space is REALLY BIG, it a totally legit reason she drifted through the core systems.
Yeah, he sins the same scenario twice back to back for contradictory reasons, lol.
I thought that line was going to lead into a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" riff.....
If space is so big that Ripley floated through the core systems then its extra convenient that they picked her up anywhere else. Thats like drifting through all the major shipping lanes and then being found floating off Antarctica, except the ocean is a trillion times bigger
@@steik6414 this shit actually happens a lot on earth oceans, where ship get lost and is found years later on opposite side of the world.
Or, the company found her, knowing what happened to her, decided to let her sleep, colonized the planet while searching for the alien and only woke her up when they needed her for this mission. sounds more plausible to me.
I love the One word comment of Ripley climbing out against the suction of space pulling all the air out.
“No”
Lmfao.
The woman they came across in the hive was likely another survivor who's luck ran out shortly before the marines arrived
Nothing's wrong with Aliens.
End.
Im giving a sin though because, it has none.
Over-expositional. Big sin. Particularly since it was all ignored for the subsequent movies anyway.
There’s always that one guy that doesn’t get the joke.
Damn right... fucking idiot know it alls who know nothing... I'm done 2 minutes in... anyone trying to talk this much shit about such a legendary movie shouldn't get even 2 minutes of time...
@@johnjones6049 Rose tinted glasses. I'm a huge fan but as a fan I also acknowledge there are some pretty big flaws with the movie.
There's also quite a few filming mistakes, such a crew getting caught on film, continuity errors, etc.
Probably a top 10 movie ever made! Absolutely stunning even 30+ years (and countless re-watches) later!
Fun Fact: During the siege on the colony station there was an additional scene that was cut that showed the marines preparing defenses, including deploying 4 motion-sensor turrets. They then watched the ammo counters tick down. It added a lot more tension to the scene and the movie would have been much better with it.
The scene is in the Special Edition.
Sentry Guns is the best tension scene.
Aliens is possibly my favorite movie. I'm so glad that they stopped the franchise there and didn't make any other alien movies that would totally screw up the entire franchise and pollute the amazing legacy of the first two standout films.
Same for *TERMINATOR, STAR TREK,* and *DOCTOR WHO.*
😊😊😊
Aliens is amazing. That said, Alien3 is pretty damn cool too. Different vibe, but I love its atmosphere.
So true! I cannot imagine would a 3rd Alien movie would be like...but there was no need to ever make one as this was perfection achieved.
Same as Terminator. T2 was flawless...additional films would just dilute perfection.
And don't get me started on Star Wars. Can you imagine what it would be like if they made sequels?
Those would actually be pretty good because they would be smart enough to plot the whole story out ahead of time, right?
And it would be awesome to see Luke, Han, & Leia together again. I mean...what's the point of doing it without them!?
Star Wars is a trilogy. Alien & Aliens, period. Exorcist and Exorcist III, period. (I do like Alien 3, but it should have been a one-off in its own universe.)
@@kell_checks_in I think we can allow the SW prequels. A little editing would help but they fit.
An alien covenant ad showed just before this.
How convenient.
Rainbowiesthowls naw man.. They're watching you.
Shameless plug!
Don't you mean.... how covenant?
I'll see myself out.
Rainbowiesthowls *How covenant. ;)
Goddamn you beat me to it.
he will have a field day with alien covenant
I would like at least 3 sins revoked from this master work:
1. Burk used the aliens from the lab. You can see the Jars in the scene. He didn't just find them.
2. They are not laughing at Ripley because she can operate the mech loader. They are laughing at the innuendo of "Where do you want it".
3. Newt would be good at cinema sins - surely that is a sin off?
This video was poorly made. It's like they assigned one person of a team of 12 10 minutes each to comment on.
I think most cinemasins videos are made as a joke so i don't really mind the retarded sins that are dished out
4. They did damage the reactor by shooting the aliens in the nest. That is why the whole place exploded at the end.
5. The last colonists with the chestburster could have been hiding like Newt but got caught just prior to the Marines landing.
#2 they were mostly laughing at themselves for underestimating her and instead of shying away, she stuck their faces in it...they respected her for that!
@@MichaelGonzalez-hd7kk wrong. damage was done when the alien killed Ferro and the dropship crashed.
This is why I love Cinema Sins. After giving us an awesome sin tally of the movie and just an amazing amount of movies he watched to sin them for our amusement, he finishes off by showing support for mental health awareness and that is the CHerry on top for me. Thank you cinema sins.
10:20; Did you not watch the movie? The facehuggers were still in the canisters when Burke dropped them into the room. He opened the lids just far enough for the creatures to get out.
I highly doubt that the writer actually views any of the movies. I'm betting they get most of their information from very short clips picked out for them and trailers.
+Taun-Chi Gaming Then you have just lost whatever fictional money you bet, because they have stated before, in their videos, that they watch the movies multiple times before making a sins video.
Also on their podcast they talk about seeing aliens many times
In that situation that may or may not have happened. For the movie's sake they only got out after being dropped in the room.
Isn't this is a one man operation?
I’m so glad to see all the comments saying Aliens is the best movie ever - because it really is. First time I watched it (on VHS as I wasn’t old enough when it was on at the cinema) I had to get on my feet and run on the spot while watching that 15 minute countdown as Ripley goes to rescue Newt.
I remember renting it from the video store repeatedly when I was in my teens.
The action, the plot and.....that dialogue. It’s fantastic.
david mulligan I loved 1 & 2, But 3 trounced all over Aliens by doing the “oh by the way Newt and Hicks died” which nullified Ripley’s heroic actions in the second half of Aliens. Couldn’t forgive it for that!
acxez knightNite and here we are in 2020 and Disney just did the samething with Star Wars. I’m convinced Hollywood writers, producers, and studios don’t know how to complete a story. The only series of films I can think of that ended correctly was back to the future.
I wouldn't put it at number 1 but it's definitely in the top 3 sequels ever made.
There's clearly no such thing as "the best movie ever" because its a matter of perspective. It boggles my fucking mind that people don't understand that. You might as well be sitting around gushing about which is the "best" colour.
Ste ik you must be a lot of fun at parties.
This movies holds up extremely well, even decades later; nitpicks, sins, and all.
BTW the "look into my eye" is the Sgt. giving him the finger.
"look into my eye" Sarge is flipping off Hudson but while holding his cigar hides that 😂😂
The marines firing their pulse rifles in the hive DID penetrate the atmospheric processor. That's why later on they point out the venting and say that it is going to explode. Did you crib this vid from the Wiki entry?
PhoenixSheriden Well, the 'smart guns' anyway, nobody had ammo for the pulse rifles, but the two smart gun users had stashed spare components so they could fire.
Also the bag with their ammo exploded in the Hive aswell.
Didn't the shuttle crash do the damage to the reactor?
I think it was well clear of the structure.
IIRC, in-movie Bishop said the crash had caused irreversible damage.
10:34 "...You don't see them f*cking each other over for a goddamn percentage."
One word; Resurrection.
When xenomorph inherited human traits..
I feel like a lot of these ‘sins’ could be explained away. This is one of the greatest movies ever :)
And one of the rare cases of a sequel being better than the original.
I'd love to hear your explanations!
Veganvendetta I think I'm in love with you...just because of your comment and how beautiful you are and because you're vegan like me 😥
Chris Mal bru
I was just saying this to my girlfriend,we may actually watch today AFTER watching Beautiful Creatures,since we read almost 200 pgs,of 500+ pages
To answer the question, as seen in alien river of pain, at the end it clarified newt had survived for months on her own, due to her size and knowledge of the ventilation system thanks to the game she played with her brother and friends known as monster maze, which I really loved as you definitely see kids doing this out of boredom
"suddenly she's a weapons expert?"
it doesn't take a weapons expert to duct tape 2 guns together though???
infact a weapon expert would probably tell you, no please dont do that, thats a terrible idea
@@DanniDerpy and a weapons expert would probably have the foresight to bring at least one extra clip.
@@MichaelGonzalez-hd7kk and a weapons expert would call them magazines or mags, not clips. Just sayin'...
@@MichaelGonzalez-hd7kk They didn't have extra magazines, they lost their extra ammo in the crash and had to make due with what was left. That's also why her flamethrower is a bit wonky a few times, because it was damaged in the crash.
@@timemonkey The second dropship was fully armed. There were multiple rifles, grenades and flamethrowers available (rewatch the scene there were plenty lined up to choose from). Her flame was "wonky" because she used up the fuel as she was first blazing the way forward to make sure there were no aliens hiding and then she burned all the eggs.
Kudos on the mental health notice, at the end of the video.
This was the most intense movie I ever saw in my life in a movie theater back in 1986. People who did not have no idea how edge of your seat this movie was. And we were in a theater that had an immense sound system and a giant movie screen, and I remember when the transport ship is screaming through the alien planet atmosphere, you know the part where Hudson says "We're on an express elevator to hell, going down! " and the transport ship drops? Holy crap it was LOUD as hell, the whole theater shook, then the pilot says "We're in the pipe, five by five" and the camera shot moves to the outside it got LOUDER, I couldn't believe it, and from there where they land and get out and move it, it was so intense like you can't believe. And when they start the tracker and the little girl Newt ran in front of it and you hear that scream?, practically everyone in the audience shit themselves lol lol I must have watched this movie countless times since
You didn't go to the cinema much huh?
Yes, saw it in '86, as well, and they had new surround sound systems in the theaters in those days that were SUPER LOUD and crystal clear and this movie was a completely different experience in that theater. Extremely intense viewing under those conditions - I was actually tired after the movie from the stress of viewing it. Everyone jumped at least a few times. Great movie.
I wasn't born when this movie was made but I've probably seen it 50 times now
@@nihilistlivesmatter - Are you serious? Back then I went every week. I'm talking about these pathetic set ups they have today in movie theaters, they cant even compare. If the theaters today played their sound systems as loud as they did back in 1986 they would be fined or closed down. Did you also know that rock bands today are also restricted from playing past a certain volume. Thank fucking democrats
Totally. When I was in college in 1989 my roommate used to play 1 of 2 movies constantly... HIGHLANDER, and ALIENS. I could recite that dialogue to this day...
Such an awesome movie.. Too bad about Alien 3,4, and whatever debacle that followed.
I love your channel…and u know the studios actually pay attention to you guys…….true story…..but, this is an absolute masterpiece…so I clicked on it……in order to interject my 2 cents…….paused it immediately…..and refused to watch it…..because it’s so dam good……….it’s flawless……..
Always loved how well this film holds up. Practical effects always win
Actually, no, Burke isn't dead. There's a great deleted scene where Ripley finds him plastered to a wall, impregnated, and he begs her to help him. She gives him a grenade and walks away.
Gently Hew Stone and he would most likely die
Gently Hew Stone Apparently, the hand grenade Burke was given goes off when Ripley is in the Alien Queen's nursery.
What really? I saw the extended/director's cut/whatever and it had the deleted auto-turret scene that was just pure gold, but, was this something that wasn't even on that?
That was the time when they cared about logic - they thought chestbursters grow too slowly to make Burke say he's feeling something moving inside him. In Covenant they don't care about logic anymore.
Krzysztof Sokołowski yup originality and creative thinking is all but gone!
This movie is STILL scarier than most horror movies today, even thirty years later!
No , aliens is not scary , the first one is
A lot of people downplay alien 3 too yet no one knows the history of its production
... This movie was supposed to be scary?
Why would it's production history be relevant? It's a film. You judge it by what appears on the screen, not in some fanzine articles or DVD extras.
I watched the movie for the first time when I was 10 or so and I never found it to be scary, ever.
He scoffs at her 2nd grade award, but I guarantee you there are parents out there homeschooling an only child that not only would give them an award, but would throw a whole ceremony in to boot. Do not underestimate the lonely's desire for pomp and circumstance and even a vestige of civil life on the frontier.
Hmmm at about 8:00 you sin them for shooting and not setting off the nuclear explosion. But that is what happened. That's why the facility goes nuclear later. They broke the cooling system, and the venting they show later is the emergency system trying to slow the explosion. I don't think that sin was fair.
12:15 also has an unfair sin, Not everyone died that was taken from the marine fight in the hive. They annouce that Sarge and Dietrich aren't dead, just decide it's not feasible to save them. So she is fine for the assumption that Newt is alive.
@@kylelantan9220 Yup and the alien bursting from the chest may have been triggered simply by the presence of out protagonists. It sensed them so it knew it was time to get out of the body, before that it might as well enjoy the host for as long as it can
When the drop ship crashed & exploded in the facility, that started the chain reaction nuclear explosion.
When they get back to operations & Bishop points out the emergency venting he states the crash caused too much damage & it cannot be shut down.
Y'all stupid AF.just chill fellas.
Later in the film Bishop explains that the crash caused the overload.
Friend who I saw this with back when it first came out still, to this day, whenever he is on his way to come visit, will text me "IN THE PIPE FIVE BY FIVE..."
That’s quality friend bants
Same line was in the original Starcraft. The dropship pilots say it when you give them orders.
When Ripley arrives at the loader, that's the pawn arriving at the 8th square and becoming a Queen, then taking the other Queen. And it is as of this move that we have an entirely new game.
wow! that was clever!
Well done. [polite clapping]
I'm amazed that anyone watches both Agadmator and Aliens videos.
I don't particularly like Science Fiction movies, but this still remains one of my favourites. It was also the first movie I saw Sigorney Weaver in and I just adore her.
In the first Ripley Loader scene, I always took the marines reaction as "Check out the balls on this chick we thought was pencil pusher"
Exactly that.
It's a weird scene. I've always taken them laughing as a kinda of realization that Ripley is more "manly" then most of the men in their team of ultimate bad asses. Some people think they're just laughing laughing at her for acting tough, like when an eight year old thinks he can win a fist fight with an adult. I've had others say Ripley's "Where you want it?" question is a veiled threat to jam that thing up their ass and clearly they don't want that so they ask her (politely) to put it somewhere else. For such a short scene it's surprising how different people see it in different ways.
It seems like they're impressed with her unexpected skills while being attracted to her looks and charm.
Skeletorrobo
Exactly what you said.
Nobody knew her abilities or skills
"Believe it or not l, Ripley..." You made this entire video just to make that joke didn't you
"Look in to my eye" is a military version of 'you think I care?'. He's asking Hudson if he see's the 'give a shit' in his eye.
He's also giving Hudson the finger when he says it.
He's giving him the middle finger. And cinema sins asks what the fuck it means??
Eldon Stracke II nah he’s flipping him off 🙄🤦🏽♂️.
My dad used to do this when I was growing up. “You see anyone who gives a shit?”
Military version of "you think I care?"... hahaha thanks for the laugh. Terrible guess. It's the finger. I do this to my kids all the time. Jesus, some people!
"look into my eye" held open with the middle finger.
thats what it means
oooooooh!
In the Hungarian dubbed version that line is a classic. The translator came up with a hilarious play on words but it cannot be translated back to English without losing sense :)
+MorliHolect | Pictures or it didn't happen
Andreas Stevens Exactly! The cinema sins chap is being a complete dullard in this video.
In fairness to C'Sins I had no idea what it meant either
No sin off for that moment when one of the crew move past Ripley, putting a hand on her shoulder, and she jumps? I loved that little detail! It showed how totally on edge the crew (or at least Ripley) were and was a lovely little bit of acting
Too bad its been put in every horror movie ever made.
Aliens is the only horror movie I've ever been convinced to watch as of now, so I cannot verify your statement.
Nobody’s going to address how Ripley managed to hold herself up with one arm on a ladder while the queen hangs full force from her leg without any limbs ripping off?
Exactly what I thought!
Not to mention Hollywood has NO idea how explosive decompression works in space. A heavy wind blowing for many minutes is NOT that way it goes, but hey, it would have been pretty crappy ending if everyone got forced through a 2 inch gap like a strainer as the door began to open, right?
@@osrikking8785 you mean like in alien 4?
The biggest SIN in this film is making us believe that on a giant ship like the SALACO not 1, not 1 fucking human or pilot was left on board to watch the ship while everyone…. All 15 people, take off to the plant they know is infested.
You sinned that awesome "look into my eye" line? R U NUUUUTS????
Tibor Magyar
To be fair, I have no clue what he meant by that either.
It's the middle finger....
+Satellite Star, true, but I'd still sin the decision to have a nap in the _only_ room in their compound that has live facehuggers in it. The two characters who sleep there, Ripley and Newt are the only two alive there who have even seen facehuggers in action. No way they'd choose that room to sleep in, but the writers couldn't imagine another way to show Burke as an evil a-hole.
In Marine terms, it translates into look into my eye, "Do I look like I give a shit"?
Yes, he's pulling down his eye with his middle finger. Giving him the bird.
Remove 10 sins because Hudson is awesome,rip Bill Paxton
I couldn't believe this guy said Hudson is annoying! Just WTF?
Everybody knows Hudson's annoying.
Bill Paxton did a good job.
and sarge (Al Mathews)
The "look into my eye" from the Sargent was more of "I'm giving you the bird" since he used his middle finger when he did that
Yeah, I caught that as well. Take 1 sin off for "false positive"? Although I didn't catch that when I saw this the first time back in the theatre.
Yes it means fuck you🖕🏾
haha how could they miss the middle finger
One thing our drill Sgts used to say, Look into me eye, see any concern there? None in the other one either.
That's what I've always thought...
"the rest of them just took a smoke break or something" LOL 😂😂😂
I'm now picturing xenomorphs taking a smoke break in an apartment balcony
Yes, combat sitting is a thing as you have to deploy the troops quickly and in a particular order.
^This
CinemaSins didn't do his homework.
"CinemaSins.........GET AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE, YOU BITCH!'

Game over, man...
Jesus!
4:32
It's funny, in the ltalian dub they transformed it into a sex joke instead
"They said go save the colonists, she heard we give you balls and enlisted!" (in italian the word colonists sounds very similar to the slang term for balls which is "coglioni"
They left out the sentry guns in the normal cut. That suuuuuucks.
I know, its such a cool scene :D
It's on the director's cut
Mr. Sins YOU get a sin for not mentioning Bill Paxton's famous quote and removing a sin for it. DING!
RIP BILL PAXTON
As do you for not mentioning it! For both of you it's:
"GAME OVER MAN!" -Bill Paxton - The only man to be killed by a Xenomorph, a predator AND a terminator.
and to think the "game over, man" line wasn't even in the script. Just brilliant improvising.
