In this movie I love how indistinguishable Ripley was from all the other characters in the very beginning, but through the course of the movie her actions demonstrate that she is, in fact, the main character.
A CHARACTER ARC! Somewhat missing in modern films, like Lea "Instant Force expert" Skywalker.
I swear modern story writers haven't bothered to watch ANY classics that "do it right" because they already know "How to do it best"..... these kinds of mistakes reek of "age related arrogance".
@@SarahC2 Well said. That or character self-insert syndrome, like witnessed in that execrable She-Hulk show (and many others).
@locust76 - True, and it is a movie when if anybody would actually listen to her at the beginning (you know: "don't open the doors" scene ...) - yeah, all of them would actually live to get to another day. Well maybe except the guy with "alien on his face", but that would actually be a acceptable death (in a way)... so we can later look at his body, and investigate it a bit more. Not just opsn the door and deal with issues after that.
But based on the real life approach - it all sounds like some corpo would actually want that specific approach to happen, just simply wait for something like this to happen sooner or later, disregarding the life of employees... (no questions about it at all), or even a public sector company would do (I can imagine all of that too based on my work experience ;)). After all, the data gathered behind that approach could be worth some money (a lot in some cases),
Anyway, a good feedback, and good response from "KatWatchesHorrorMovies" :)
Indeed. First time I watched as a kid, I thought Dallas was the main guy, simply because he was the captain.
This is what O'Bannon was really good at. He also did something similar in Return of the Living Dead. Almost all characters in that movie had a well defined character arc.
Agreed, the movie is so groundbreaking in countless ways, a true masterpiece in cinema making.
One big difference for modern audiences going in is that they know Weaver was the star. Those who saw it on its release had never heard of her, and Scott does a lot to minimize her presence, having her lines spoken off screen and not putting Ripley in the more typically "heroic" mission exploring the planet.
Also, John Hurt's character is the first to wake up, and the camera lingers on him in the "Freezerino" chamber, making the audience think he will be the hero main character of the movie. Brilliant move, I can't think of any other movie who went to such lengths to misdirect the audience... :)
@@lennyvalentin6485 True, I saw it when first released, and right from the opening credits it was absolutely terrifying, the audience tension was extreme. When the Alien killed off the male captain lead, all bets were off which pushed the terror up another notch. Alien is so worthy of all the cinematic accolades bestowed upon it.
@@lennyvalentin6485 Terminator 2. If the marketing department hadn't spoiled it, the audience wouldn't know that Arnold is a good guy. You would spend a large chunk of the movie thinking that there were two terminators after John Connor.
EXACTLY. She was unknown and no one knew she’d be the hero. Amazing movie.
@@MOVIE.KNIGHTSshe wasn’t written as a she. She was written as male. So there goes you’re no woke argument. Lol. And she’s bad ass.
"It's just a commercial towing vehicle....what could go wrong?"
That just gave me the giggles.
Another great reaction! The reason Ripley didn't blast the alien with the flamethrower is because it was between her and the escape pod. If she set everything on fire she wouldn't have been able to get through. That's why she went back to try and cancel the self-destruct... to buy herself more time.
I wish Parker used it with Lambert frozen in fear. What was he thinking trying to take it on himself. He was well aware he was no match for it.
At that point, the flamethrower hadn't even been tested on the alien - it might not react at all. AND it would have given away her position.
@@jamesfrench7299 None of the remaining crew knew what it looked like - when Parker saw it, he probably thought he could punch its lights out . . lol! ... he didn't see the tail coming (THWACK!)
@@jazzx251 Parker knew how dangerous it was when he said it's big huge after seeing Brett get taken in the shafts by the creature. There's also a cut scene where he and Ripley walk in as he's being taken.
As for not wanting to give away Lambert's position, the alien was standing over her getting a macabre thrill intimidating it's prey prior to attack. It knew she was there.
We know in hindsight the flamethrower would have driven the creature back at the very least as Ripley gave it a blast with hot gas in the escape shuttle Narcissus and the creature was screaming in pain.
A scifi/horror classic that stands the test if time. RIP John Hurt (Kane), Yaphet kotto (Parker), Harry Dean Stanton (Brett), Ian Holm (Ash).
Also, writer Dan O'Bannon, writer/producer David Giler, producer Gordon Carroll, editor Terry Rawlings, creature designer H.R. Giger, concept artist Ron Cobb, composer Jerry Goldsmith, director of photography Derek Vanlint and president of 20th Century Fox Alan Ladd Jr. have all passed. Fortunately, all participated in the extensive behind-the-scenes documentary which I believe was made in 2003 while they were still with us.
As is Bolaji Badejo, a Nigerian graphic designer who stood at nearly 7ft tall & played the Xenomorph.
You know you're getting old when all your film icons from your childhood have died.
@@joevaldez6457I think I've seen most of the content from that documentary in other media, but I'd like to see it myself for once. This film is a true masterpiece which will likely never be surpassed. Modern filmmaking has gotten so far away from the basics.
Crazy thing is, Harry Dean Stanton was a WWII vet, and participated in the Battle of Okinawa. His acting career didn't take off until he was in his 50s (i.e., this movie)!
"She's not looking for the cat, is she?"
Jones is the only one that has listened to Ripley the whole movie. You're damn right, she's looking for that cat!
I'm just here for Kat's karate moves when things get scary...
So effing cute ...
It's great. I have a friend who has the same mannerisms. She's hilarious.
"This is really just a love story about a woman and her cat."
Too GOOD!
The cat had its purpose in the ship, actually. It was there for plague control.
"Even in her most tender moments... can't stop her badassery" I freaking love your reactions. You have a natural talent for this.
She's really witty.
"I saw the alien get launched into space, I don't know how there are sequels-"
Kain: "There are (multiple) leathery sacks, like... eggs, or something..."
It is because they are Different parts of Space, these Xenomorphs are Everywhere, in Sequel a family find the Egg, and the Ripplys team finds, that was the down fall of Hadley hope
@@MOVIE.KNIGHTS Thanks for the update. lol
"Kain"?
Kane😀

No.
We did it boys, we found one she actually honest-to-God likes. Welcome to the horror fandom, Kat.
She likes it! Hey Mikey! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
We did it boys? What happened to the female persuasion? Did I forget something to be interesting kind of a club? Please tell me they don't vote for double trump

I think she has liked a lot of the movies she has watched. I suspect she does not like the idea of getting scared, which is what makes it funny as hell. But she quickly took to being super positive about the movies themselves. And honestly, you can't really do what she does, if she did not like these kinds of stories and so on.
She actually rates a lot of them super high hehe.
Your expression when the chestburster popped out was priceless. Am loving your channel so far, keep it up.
“How is the first move not to close th-UUUUGGGHAAAA!!!” 🤣🤣🖤
Lol and a light switch would be good 🤔
your reaction to the chestburster scene was both awesome and hilarious. the best i've seen yet.
When Dallas turned in that air duct and the alien was right there, the entire audience in the theater came off their seats. Me included. One of the best jump-scares in movie history, before jump scares were even a thing.
“The decisions that are being made are subpar.”
“At best, that’s space water!” Lol
One of the interesting things that Ridley Scott decided to cut because it was too revealing was that about the same moment Kane gets facehuggered Ripley translates the message that Ash and MU/TH/UR "couldn't translate". The message was a warning beacon telling other ships not to come to the planet or land because of an "infestation". Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett (writers) originally had this as another puzzle piece in the coverup by the company. They had relayed the transmission and the company specifically had MU/TH/UR divert course to investigate. This is then why Ripley seems so flustered that they are letting this thing onboard without quarantine because the just had finished translating the message. And of course it was another part when revealed with Ripley gets override access the MU/TH/UR mainframe. The overall theme being that Ripley is the only person who keeps undercutting each move in Ash's coverup and thus why he goes so overboard when near the end.
Ridley Scott decided after some of those scenes were shot to scrap it because it was too many details, and that revealing less left more to the imagination (and then it was all retconned within the rest of the series).
You've fallen into my algorithm lap. Watched like 6 of your vids in a row. You give me what if Alex Hefner had a sister vibes! It's a high compliment since I ❤️ your energy and enthusiasm.
Kat. You were right about Dallas. In the Director's Cut, Ripley finds him just before she leaves the ship, but he has an alien in him and begs her to kill him.
Great show. I love watching your reactions. Very entertaining.
Highlight of my week.
How is that even possible? They didn't take any eggs aboard. The facehugger died after implanting the embryo in Kane. The xeno was a drone, not a queen. Explain.
Dallas wasn’t impregnated mate.
He was morphing into an egg.
Like Brett.
"Not a good way to go" when Kane got jumped by the face hugger was a glorious piece of accidental foreshadowing. There are worse ways to go...
Alien shares some similarities to a 1965 film named Planet of the Vampires, in which the crew of a spaceship are woken by a distress signal. After a crash landing, they explore the planet and discover a giant alien skeleton.
Alien director Ridley Scott and screenwriter Dan O'Bannon denied ever having seen Planet of the Vampires but decades later O'Bannon finally admitted that "I stole the giant skeleton from the Planet of the Vampires."
Great, emotional reactions! I love how you guessed this rescue mission was a trap right from the beginning. I was 14 when I saw this movie back in 1979, and had nightmares for weeks because of it.

12:09 Rien à faire, je ris comme une baleine quand vous faites ça, ou devant l'imitation parfaite du bruit de l'oeuf qui s'ouvre, et devant la plupart de vos réactions. Hilarant et tellement charmant. From start to end, your reaction(s) is(are) so great. Thanks Kat ! :)
"A net? The decisions that have been made are sub par" lmao
Like i said before, the BEST part of these reaction videos is seeing YOUR reaction. You have the best reactions, faces, comments, suggestions, everything. I would love to watch a movie with you. That would be the best.
Great reaction. Watching someone else meet Ash for the first time is fun on SO many levels!
14:45 "Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal" 🎶🤣
You're awesome! This is maybe my favorite film of all time, i remember watching this as a kid with my dad and it absolutely blew me away! It's a cinematic masterpiece! Thank you for the awesome video!
I've gotta say I enjoy reliving some movies with Kat. It's remembering the first time I saw it. Love it!
Kat Keep it up! :)
It's a master class in building tension and not rushing things. The first attack happens after 40 minutes of Spacetruckdrivers doing Spacetruckdriver stuff.
The acting is top notch - and both set and creature design rock. If you see the making off you'll notice that the Alien was "just" a guy in a suit - but the whole movie is shot as to show as little of this as possible, leaving a lot to your imagination, and THAT POS is especially good at making up even more terrible stuff than is there in the first place. :D
Has one of the best plot twists in Film history so far (Bilbo Baggins being a robot!) and even with old style glass Bulb monitors the tech still looks totally believable to be on an actual spaceship in the future.

Just wanted to say you have quickly become my favorite reactor.
😂 10:19 “you can’t put a towel down or anything?”! This put a smile on my face!
Thanks Kat, I needed that!
Dallas: Anybody wanna say anything?
Kat: Yeah, your friend's an idiot.
Love it!
Loved the reactions and commentary. Always nice to see folks joining in on love of horror in all its specifically entertianing forms ^
Fun fact: in the chestburster scene, only John Hurt (Kane, the alien victim during lunch) was the only actor who knew about what was going to happen, all the other actors didn't knew anything. The director Ridley Scott wanted their most genuine reaction to the gruesome death of Kane.
Kat, your reactions are BRILLIANT!!For all the movies that I loved as a child) thank you very much)
OMG loving your videos Kat - I've seen most of these films and your reaction is pretty much EXACTLY how I felt as I was watching the first time. "your decisions are... sub par" - absolute genius observation
A bit of trivia for you Kat: The casts reaction to the chest bursting scene was actually natural. The director had purposely not told them the specifics of the scene ( except for John Hurt of course) so when the event happened they caught the actors off guard. 😮
Yeah. The entire cast forgot they were in a movie and thought an Alien had been implanted in John Hurt's body somewhere in outerspace.
The Cats’ reaction was to just point & laugh.
According to TH-cam comments sections, no movie ever has even had a script. Every actor just makes everything up as they go along, or they get pranked by the director. Those so-called "writers" are getting paid for nothing.
@@RandsurferThere's this thing called "Lying" where you give a cast a script where things are supposed to play out one way, but then you plan for it to play out another way with everyone else.
The confusion comes from people not specifying what was the omitted part of the script.
The actors were never told that John Hurts chest was rigged with a blood-pack, Veronica Cartwright's scream when it goes off as well as their reactions to it is as authentic as it get.
"This is rumor control. Here are the facts."
The cast did know what was going to happen, because it was described in a fair amount of detail in the script, and these were all professionals who read the script. However, no one knew what it was going to look like, since no one had ever attempted an effect like it before.
They filmed up until they got John Hurt on the table, then "cut" was called and everyone but John Hurt was told to break for lunch, because he needed to be glued into the rig. Tom Skerritt elected to hang around and watch the effects team work, so he had a better grasp of what was going to happen than the rest of the cast, but even he wasn't certain exactly what was going to be done to achieve the effect.
When the cast came back, they saw the crew all wearing raincoats, plastic bags over all the equipment, and buckets of (not fake, sourced from local butcher shops) blood all over the set, so they knew it was going to get messy.
Veronica Cartwright was told "You'll get a little blood on you," but had the misfortune to stand right in the path of one of the hoses, which sprayed a fair amount of blood straight in her face, much of it in her eye. She stumbled back, fell backwards over a couch, but struggled back to her feet and continued the scene. Nevertheless, her cry of "Oh God!" is pretty genuine, since, you know, she'd just got something like a liter of blood sprayed in her face.
There were a few small hiccups, the chestburster prop not tearing through the first few times, and some of those "bumps" are in the final cut. But the effect worked, worked beautifully (for a given value of "beautiful"), but because no one had ever done anything like it before, the cast were affected on the same level as the audience seeing it the first time.
The chestburster scene is the only reason the film got made (that, and a little movie called "Star Wars" had just come out, and everyone was rushing for any spaceship script they happened to have on hand to get into production). There were definite flaws in the original script, some even calling it unbearably bad, but it had that "one great scene" that everyone loved, and knew if they could get the film up to the level of that scene, they'd really have something. So, no, "the cast didn't know what was going to happen" is categorically false, but there being some Enforced Method Acting in that scene is true.
Basically, like all good myths, there's a kernel of truth the falsehoods take root on.
The "Making Of" documentary on most DVD and Blu-Ray sets clears this up, with the actors talking extensively about the scene and thoroughly debunking this urban legend. Weaver herself actually quotes the script at one point, it was never withheld from the actors.
Its great that you’re watch this. I was a kid when this movie first came out and this was my first time to go to a movie theater and seeing a horror movie ever. My parents had no clue what this movie was about except that it was about space. Needless to say it freaked my parents out but I thought it was the greatest thing ever. And even now all these years later it is still my favorite horror movie.
An incredible score composed by Jerry Goldsmith. Conducted by Lionel Newman. Orchestrated by Arthur Morton. Performed The National Philharmonic Orchestra. The sounds and growls that are produced by the orchestra are amazing.
Fun fact: The blue lasers used to light the mist covering the alien eggs were loaned to Ridley Scott by the band, Pink Floyd. They were part of Floyd's concert lighting. Pink Floyd has fans; apparently so does Ridley Scott.
Your face is so wonderfully expressive!
I would absolutely watch a horror movie with this girl. Mainly because I’ll watch horror movies with pretty much anyone, but also because I’ll be able to secretly giggle at all the jumps and screams at the scary parts
That chestburster scene is still shocking people to this day. Ha i loved your reaction Kat. You know why? Because its a genuine one. I'm a fan of this page. Love it.
18:00 it's condensation. the ship was cold before they woke up and that machine room is very tall. remember they were venting a lot of gas and steam to annoy Ripley.
I love how folks who watch this movie for the first time are all expert xenomorph hunters and straight away can spot what the crew are doing wrong and can instantly suggest the correct course of action 😉😊 oh and Dallas didn't let the xenomorph onboard, Ash did.
Of all the reactors I watch, your jump scares put a smile on my face when you watch horror or thrillers.
Kat, your reaction to the “birth” of the “Chestburster” was priceless! … I’m enjoying these classic movies in a new way, with your fabulous reactions and clever commentary … and your salute! … Ripley earned that! 😊❤
This was great! I always enjoy seeing new people experience this favorite and you are so fun to watch. So many expressions :)
"Its raining inside?" Well it sure can. I have spent a lot of time on/in ships and in a large ship, the systems for heat and air are so complex and involves so many things that it "rains inside" is not at all a crazy idea. With a huge ship like in the movie humidity and temperature could certainly have water droplets fall from the ceilings. The disturbing part is that people are planning Mars missions despite no real emulated colony experiment actually working during experiments on earth.
The fact that Sigourney read the part of Ripley and wowed everyone so they re wrote the character to be female just speaks to her as a performer!!
As I've heard, they originally wrote the script so that none of the characters were gender specific, giving casting much more flexibility.
But no question as to Sigourney's superior acting and performance ❤🙌
Ripley was originally wrote as a male lead. It was stated in the commentary on the director’s cut dvd box set. Sigourney was cast because not only did she knock the character out of the park but at the time, a female lead in a horror film was almost unheard of and they wanted this film to really stand out. It’s a fascinating documentary because it explores everything from the very beginning from simple story concept to this huge production that just took off.
The only trivia I can think of off-hand about this movie is that, apparently, all the slime on the alien is KY Jelly, and the tendon-looking things on its jaw were shredded condoms
Such a classic movie, too. Probably one of the greatest suspense-thriller movies ever made, and it spawned one of the most iconic (to me, anyway) space-action type movies ever made. At least as far as smallish-scale space action goes.
Trivia - The filming of the now famous chestburster scene so disturbed Yaphet Kotto (who played Parker) he quipped "I served in Korea and filming that freaked me out more"
YES and THANK YOU! This movie means a lot to me personally and your reactions make my day.
Ellen Ripley, portrayed by Sigourney Weaver, is the central character in the Alien film series. Her role and purpose evolve throughout the films, but her character is often seen as a symbol of survival, resilience, and the will to protect humanity against extraterrestrial threats. Here's a breakdown of Ripley's character purpose:
1. Survivor and Protector (Alien, 1979)
In the first Alien film, Ripley’s character is primarily a survivor. She is a warrant officer on the commercial spaceship Nostromo, where the alien creature, the Xenomorph, is unleashed. As the crew is picked off one by one, Ripley steps up as a reluctant but determined leader, eventually becoming the sole survivor. Her purpose here is to endure and defeat the alien, ensuring no one else falls victim to it.
2. Moral and Ethical Compass (Aliens, 1986)
In Aliens, Ripley becomes more of a protector, especially to Newt, a young girl she finds on a colony ravaged by Xenomorphs. Her maternal instincts and sense of responsibility are central to her purpose in this film, as she not only fights for her survival but also for the survival of others. She takes on a leadership role in guiding a group of marines and civilians to safety, making her both a fighter and a caregiver.
3. Humanity vs. Corporations (Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection)
Ripley’s character in the subsequent films (Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection) also explores themes of corporate greed and exploitation. The Weyland-Yutani Corporation, which seeks to harness the Xenomorphs as biological weapons, becomes a constant adversary. Ripley’s purpose here shifts to stopping not only the aliens but also the people trying to control them for profit.
4. Self-Sacrifice and Redemption (Alien 3)
In Alien 3, Ripley’s role takes on a more self-sacrificial tone. When she discovers that she is carrying a Xenomorph queen embryo, she chooses to end her own life to prevent the alien from being used by the corporation. This act of self-sacrifice is a significant moment in her character arc, highlighting her commitment to protecting humanity, even at the cost of her life.
5. Hybrid Identity (Alien: Resurrection)
In Alien: Resurrection, Ripley is cloned and brought back with alien DNA mixed into her genetic makeup. This version of Ripley struggles with her identity as both human and part alien. Her purpose here becomes more complex as she battles the Xenomorphs while dealing with her own hybrid nature.
Overall Purpose:
Ripley’s ultimate purpose throughout the Alien franchise is to serve as a resilient, ethical, and determined force of survival and protection against the alien menace. She evolves from a mere survivor to a symbol of humanity’s fight against uncontrollable and deadly forces, both alien and corporate.
I'm sure all reactors on TH-cam really appreciate it when people like you helpfully post *SPOILERS* for films they haven't watched yet. Oh, wait a minute... 🙄
@@lonelyboy1977 wow you must have Low intelligence, Because Spoiler are Void for film that are over 20 year old, Spoilers are for New films maybe get an Education before Opening Your mouth
I love her...denial. 8-)
I feel bad that I really like her reactions to this movie. She is so into it and excited even though she'll get the crap scared out of her. I'm an instant subscriber, Kat. It is great to meet you.
"Most animals retreat from fire" Alien: Hold my beer whilst I slide through these air vents towards the flamethrower wielding hooman.
It quickly became canon that aliens don't like fire but I was never convinced. Ash was protecting the alien so I doubt he would have suggested using fire if he really thought it would work or would do it any harm. He studied the face hugger so would have had a pretty good idea what would or would not have worked.
Also, the alien was lucky that it was Ripley who ended up in the shuttle and not Dallas. Dallas spent a lot of time in the shuttle so he probably would have spotted the alien and done something about it whilst it was still "sleeping".
"Makes me a little hungy" Well that's definitely the first time i've heard someone reacting like that to a facehugger.
The chest burster scene really freaked Kat out. 😂
She's not alone. Everyone in the theater freaked out too
I've watched a lot of reactions but never saw someone get a craving for mushrooms after seeing the face hugger 🍄😂
This is one of those movies that also has a great sequel…just putting that out there….😬
Yes, let's manifest that for Kat. She deserves to have that in her life.
Definitely
O Kat's "God"
He's still alive, he's still breathin.
Kat, "God" already knows that the character is meant to be breathin. You needn't inform "God" of that.
17:34 - Not rain, exactly. I imagine he's in a cooling/life-support system maintenance area. There could potentially be high humidity and a large amount of condensation as pipes of different temperatures are routed through there. It's a very large vessel, so there would be a vast network of coolant pipes leading everywhere, condensing water from the air. Or, the room could just be a great big dehumidifier, collecting excess atmospheric water from various areas of the ship.
it's the loading bay, people have theorized for a in movie explanation that it was exposed to the environment of LV-426, the "real world" answer is simply because Ridley wanted a water scene: "Ridley Scott wanted to have water in their, and didn't really feel like it needed an explanation. When he sold it to the producers, he said it was condensation from broken mechanisms. It's an old ship, with many quirks and faults, and that was one that the crew was willing to put up with before they fixed it in port." (taken from the dvd commentary track).

@@jimmymelendez1836 it's a verbatim quote so I left the spelling error that the original author of the transcript did.
Great reaction to this great movie. Your thoughts about the cat and Ripley saving the cat are spot on. A screen writer actually wrote a book on how to write screenplays called Save The Cat based on the idea that the audience is far more invested in the main character if that character cares about something as much as this cat and does everything to protect it. For a recommend I would say Breaking Away 1979, it looks like a movie about bicycle racing but it is not.
It’s a horror movie but also a genre defining piece of science fiction. My dad rented it for me when I was 8 and I didn’t sleep for like 3 years
Harry Dean Stanton(in the Hawaiian shirt) has been in every movie, ever made, since the sound and color, era!😁 This, green mile, Dillinger, Cool Hand Luke, Red Dawn, godfather 2, and many others!
And at 20:00 exactly: JAZZ HANDS!
20:51 "Get the juice in your cannon" 🤭 Boy... the innuendo...😜
Written by Dan O'Bannon (writer Dark Star, Total Recall, Blue Thunder and writer/director The return of the Living Dead), Alien is a masterpiece of the horror genre and remains highly effective.
Ridley Scott said he was creating the horror TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE IN SPACE movie, where the crew gets taken out 1 at a time, and there is no where to hide. He accomplished it.
You. Are. Awesome.
First video of your I've seen and I gotta tell you, I was thoroughly entertained. I feel a bit guilty that it was at your expense. lol. You're a hoot!!
"Don't touch an alien egg.. right? They don't teach you that in astronaut school?" Best comentary.
It's fascinating how you react to scares like a feline ready to bite & scratch
Little trivia: There is a book called "My day" by Jones" which retells the whole movie but from Jones's perspective
FYI: "Rain" can happen in a large room (Like NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building in Florida) when the humidity is high. The crewman wouldn't have been surprised by that.
The ending salute was a nice touch here, lol.
the monster design artist was a Swiss surrealist H R Giger, his style is bio-mechanoid. the monster had the ability to blend in with rust, metal and pipes but also is based on worms leeches and diseased metal. i worked in heavy industry and there are a lot of old machines that have the look of the alien ship interior or the alien skin. the most interesting thing is that even though everybody calls the androids blood milk which it actually was. in heavy industry there is a toxic lubricating oil that is pure white and looks like milk called suds oil
'In Space, no one can hear you SCREAM.'
That Xenomorph won't care, though.😱
Kat, just discovered your videos, I love them ! keep the good work ! (your reactions are awesome and funny)
She's the best. Unfortunately TH-cam is making it really hard for new creators to grow their channels. They aren't appearing in notifications.
I'm not typically a fan of horror movies... but Alien is not your typical horror movie! 😁 Great reaction, Kat!
BTW, has anyone ever told you that you look like Emily Blunt? You could be a sister or cousin!
Gotta say. Kat. Your reaction to this movie was the best that I have ever seen. Thank you for risking your sanity for our entertainment.
best reaction to the landing scene ever 😅 the development from "smooth" to "everything is on fire" was actually smooth itself and that was lowkey hilarious.
to answer the question: the "rain" inside is effectively the cooling tower for the core of the ship, if i had to guess. stop that flow and the coolant system overloads, prompting a core meltdown.
Bahahahaa! Some of these moments killed me😂🤣🤣🙌🧡💀😜. 17:33 “it’s raining inside? They have a terrible leak” 17:50 “at best it’s space water” Bahahahaa! Damn that pesky space water and those space ocean patches that leak into the ship lol😂🤣🤣🧡💀 and let’s not forget 28:00 “ya, loosen all the bolts on the ship and have it really come apart” Bahahahaa! Just the best😂🤣🤣🧡🙌💀😜
Excellent reaction Kat! Alien is such a suspenseful movie and your commentary was perfect - including the touch of humor mixed in.
"Don't use all the juice" - I LOL'd.
The ad-line when the movie came out was: "In space, no one can hear you scream."
My favorite film, thanks for watching and reacting!!
I was like 5 or 6 at the time. Dad took me to CA and we were visiting family near Long Beach. He thought it would be cool to rent a room on the Titanic II "for fun". The Queen Mary. We can get more into that later.
Anyway, there was a working elevator.
As a young boy I loved to wonder. Find and see things. The doors opened and I got in. (not in a free candy kinda way) I pressed all the buttons!!
Dad found me almost an hour later (after he finally realized I was gone) on the elevator. I had pressed soooooo many buttons that it stopped on every floor TWICE! Once once on the way up. And again on the way down. The early 80's y'all. Miss those times.
"they've abandoned their friend, rightfully so" 😂😂😂
Great stuff..... Pre 80's..... Thats why i love my mum.... Never found me sneaking in to watch this sort of thing.... Mind buster in the day

So glad to have discovered this channel early in its life.
"In the famous "chestburster scene" from the movie Alien (1979), the cast was not fully informed about what to expect. The scene in question involved the character Kane, played by John Hurt, experiencing a violent and unexpected alien birth. The reactions of the other actors in the scene were genuine because they were not fully aware of the extent of the special effects that were going to be used. Ridley Scott, the director, intentionally kept some details of the scene hidden from the cast to capture authentic reactions of shock and horror, making the scene even more intense and memorable."
"He is the alien, he was taken over" - being disovered Ash is a robot: "We knew it, our gut ist always right" .... LMAO
"Nothing became of that creature"? We got a great movie from that creature! ;)
This is the best review I ever read of Alien: "Alien is a movie where no one listens to the smart woman, and then they all die except for the smart woman and her cat. 4 stars."
“The decisions that have been made are… sub par.” 😂
☝️☝️ Reach out we have something to talk about🎁🎁........
The cast did NOT know what was going to happen during the chest bursting scene! Their reactions were REAL!!!
So you say you like trivia. Well I recently heard that the scene when Kane is eating and he starts to seizure and choke was filmed with all of the other actors not aware that he was going to do that so their reactions are genuine. Anyway, love the reaction and thanks.
