I can appreciate Alien 3, but it just makes me think, "Ripley deserved better". Nothing good happened to her the rest of her life since the chestburster appeared in the first movie. I like a lot of the stylistic choices in 3, but it's just a bummer from the get-go.
Agreed. I never agreed with how the lore went. The resurrection cannon would have been way easier to accept and appreciate if OG Ripley got a somewhat decent sendoff in three
I love how people are complaining about the video... But did you guys not watch to the end? I think this review was pure genius, and now I'm more excited for Thursday!
Some people are just not getting the whole point of this video. It's an "underwhelming" review to recreate the underwhelming feeling many people felt after seeing Alien³ for the first time. It's genius, Tony! Genius! 👏
Amazing Tony, well done on committing to the bit, what a year long set up for a joke! Still a great review and can't wait to see the Assembly Cut review now - which I don't know if I am an alone weirdo for this, or because it was the first Alien movie I ever saw and had 0 expectations, but Alien 3 is my favourite, and I don't think gets enough credit for just how good the acting is. When I saw the other ones I could see its flaws, but then I saw how the Assembly Cut sorted out a lot of the issuers and it was back to my favourite one again. Keep it up man, hope you have something else to hype for the next year or so now.
@@michaermyels4490 Apparently I’m being told by people in the comments that the real episode like that we wanted to see will be in the Assembly Cut Review, I don’t really know why bother with this then in the first place but whatever
Always liked Alien 3. I was 15 when it came out so it hit me at the right time. Just love the mood and atmosphere. It also helps that I had the Super Nintendo game which was also good.
IT'S HAPPENING EVERYONE, IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! Also, I was in 7th grade when this came out. I know this because I remember buying the book adaption of the movie and reading it before it came out.
I remember the big Saturday HBO premiere of Alien³. I just turned 13 in '92. I'm not ashamed to enjoy this movie. The dreary atmosphere, the tunnel chase, Clemens & Dillon, and cinematography were excellent.
I have to admit. I did like alien 3. It was the first time seeing an ‘alien’ film in theatre. Yes it may be a mess. But I liked it and thought it was pretty, pretty, pretty….pretty good. 🤘🏽⚡️🤘🏽
I like the first half of the movie. It's really bleak and goes back to its horror roots, unlike the sequel. Sadly, I always find myself getting uninterested in the film around the last third or so. In general, I can see why a lot of people dislike Alien 3 as it is something of a mixed bag. However, I don't really get why this has become one of those "what could have been" movies. People always praise some of the unused scripts for this film, like the space monastery one or whatever it was, as if they would have been much better choices. Most of those scripts I've seen are equally stupid or even worse than the one they went with.
Same here I was 12 when I saw this in theatre and tbh it took my innocence away a bit 😅. Bleak af tone and everyone including the hero dying was entirely new to me so this film made an impression on me 💯
Crazy enough, I've seen quite a lot of people claim that Alien Resurrection is better than 3. The world we live in! The assembly cut only improves some minor details about the film. It's better, but it doesn't save the film.
Dang, even before that awesome intro with everybody I was kinda expecting a similar to that amount of people for the review. Even way lesser movie reviews in the Hack the Movies review catalogue have had 3 hosts at least. This whole alien 3 buildup was kind’ve a letdown Tony, and I love you guys I’ve watched every episode
The whole point was to build it up and then disappoint you. Just like in Alien 3. The fans all wanted their favorite characters to come back, but all we got was the lead and bald prisoners.
I actually enjoy Alien 3 a lot. Ripley's relationship with the doctor is interesting and Charles Dutton puts in an amazing performance. Changing up the alien was a unique choice and the ending was epic. Placing Ripley in a prison is rather inspired because who are we rooting for? If the alien wins, everything goes to s***, but all the prisoners are horrible people, so it's a moral dilemma.
New to you're channel but damn do I love it . Been catching up the last few days. The take you and you're guest had on The Thing was perfect . Never thought I could watch long segments of other people's opinions on movies.
Kieran: "I promise not to make any furious masturbation jokes in this episode". Tony: "So the escape pod crash lands on Fury 161" Kieran: "...goddamit" In seriousness, Kieran's probably my favourite of the Hack the Movies guests. He just seems down to earth and funny.
I always assumed that she burn the bodies because she didn't want the company to get ahold of them. Just in case there was something that the company could use for alien design. I was also frustrated at the time because just before the movie came out, there were novelizations on what was projected to be the story. It was called Earth Hive, and it would involve Ripley Newt and Hicks being woken up in Earth orbit. While they were sleeping, and adrift in space, the colonists had managed to send a sample back before they were overwhelmed. The corporation had been experimenting with it and it had got loose, and the entire Earth was in shambles with people scrambling to get off the planet and stop the aliens from overtaking it.
I like that you made the first review a troll lol. Hype it up exactly like they did for alien 3 and then release an episode with a bald guy no one knows haha. Excellent.
People always have a problem with the egg. Like “How’s a creature we only just discovered existed lay an egg after removing their Ovopositor? It’s an immutable law that the alien Queen egg layer couldn’t possibly lay extra eggs after losing her ovipositor.” Yet some people like egg morphing which is dumb.
Always liked it. Assembly Cut is great too. Most people were expecting Aliens 2. The production was a mess and starting a movie without a script was a mistake on many levels. Fincher made the most of it but I wish we could have seen more of his vision on screen. Theres so much material left on the cutting floor and even stuff they never filmed. Shame.
@@GrandTourVideos not saying it was bad. The point of it was to be frustrating and disappointing. Which it successfully achieved. Tony "Ryan Johnson" over here has subverted our expectations
Always loved Alien3! My Dad took me to see it when it came out and I was probably the first person to rent it on VHS from my local joint when it came out. Also won that same Alien3 promo hat that Tony is wearing from a contest at another local video store…wore that hat to death back in the day!
Someone should try playing a drinking game while watching these. Everytime Tony says "uhhh", you take a shot or sip of your beer. I think you'll be completely annihilated half way through.
Add one more death on Tony's conscious, my buddy just tried to play your drinking game and died to alcohol poisoning. How does Tony not feel any remorse for the death of his friends and the marvel deathpile!?
Love the opening. I am one of those people who can't forgive this movie (either cut, despite some good stuff) for killing every survivor of the previous one. That's almost as bad as if they did sequels to the Star Wars movies, where they bring back the Empire and the Sith, making their victory meaningless then ruin the relationship of Han and Leia and kill them all.
Yep that's the problem new trilogy, they just rehash and repeat original trilogy but make it somehow worse. Worse of all they push aside some actually good original ideas like Finn being a Stormtrooper that go on good side and maybe is Force sensitive ( seriously he should be main character, he at least would have original story).
Yes! Finally! Lol. I've been a massive Alien 3 fan since day one. Thanks for the review...oh, one more thing...sorry to to be 'that guy' but the guy you keep calling Morz is called Morse :) Can't wait for the next videos!
So heres my analysis of Alien 3 if anyone cares. While there was a bunch of behind the scenes stuff going on the hampered with the final product and alot of fans like the assembly cut I dont thing the final product we initially got was as bad as people make it out to be, I am an Alien super fan but the points I will make come from the understand of public perception as well as my own storytelling experience as a writer myself. One of the biggest complaints is killing off Hicks and Newt, yes that's quite a blow and it is kinda stupid but this decision while bad on the surface creates a compelling story by the end so stick with me. A positive aspect is we get a new Alien to Runner so getting more to the lore and keeping it fresh is an upside. The music was well is very good. I dont want to drone on to much but to collect my thoughts the character development of Ripley is really what is to be praised here, we see Ripley as your everyday worker being a space trucker that is thrust into an extreme situation and survives doing all she can to defeat the Alien and hendering the companies plans, in Aliens we see Ripley sit to her convictions and lend a hand to destroy the Xenomorphs once and for all, she wins out the day but this is where the beauty of Alien 3 kicks in and while it could have been put together better I again do think it's really not that horrible. In Alien 3 we see Ripley have everything ripped from here and she accepts the this Alien will never let her have peace and that the company will never learn from its past mistakes. She makes the ultimate sacrifice for humanity taking out the last surviving Alien and taking the company down a peg. The ending with her sacrifice gets me teary eyed and the music brings it all together. I'm actually a fan of the theatrical cut. In the assembly cut we do see a queen facehugger which explains why were are two embryos in Alien 3 but the editing of Ripleys sacrifice is different and it doesnt hit the same as the theatrical cut. I am a bit of an Alien 3 apologist I'll admit I could have been better but the character development Ripley ends up having in Alien 3 really makes for a decent trilogy if that's where you wanna end it.
Well said. It’s definitely grown on me through the years-despite its turmoil during production, etc. A lot of the shot compositions and production design is pretty incredible. I totally agree on Ripley’s sacrifice and Goldenthal’s score during that scene. The inclusion of the chestburster adds a little weight to it-the pain, yet still clenching it into the fire. Also, as you said, her middle finger to Weyland-Yutani.
The way the Alien figure lines up with the mic I almost thought it was the coolest mic stand I've ever seen. Somone needs to make some Alien themed mics lol. 14:20
So glad we got an alien 3 review with my two favorite guests. No offense to prison dude but he was soo low energy in the last video, it was like reviewing the movie with a brick wall.
Im sure i saw somewhere about the face hugger double hugging, that because it laid a queen it then can lay a drone to protect it, unlike normal huggers who only lay drones....yeah i know its just trying to fill a plot hole but it kinda makes sense 🤷♂️
It was a royal facehugger. They actually made a prop for it. If you watch the assembly cut you actually see it in the scene when they bring the dead bull in the one guy picks it up. It is bigger and does lay 2 embryos.

This intro is my multiverse of madness
Alien3 Assembly Cut is an under appreciated masterpiece.
I love how people are complaining about the video... But did you guys not watch to the end? I think this review was pure genius, and now I'm more excited for Thursday!
everything that has ever been, was , or ever will be is summarized in this particular review. Historic.
Some people are just not getting the whole point of this video.
It's an "underwhelming" review to recreate the underwhelming feeling many people felt after seeing Alien³ for the first time.
It's genius, Tony! Genius! 👏
Yeah it is pretty damn smart of Tony. Brilliant idea. I’m sure when they review the Assembly Cut it’ll actually be more satisfying.
I was pissed along with my friends when we left the theater in ‘92. So, we definitely didn’t feel underwhelmed. We were mad.
Thats very Verhoevan of him
That’s gold, Tony! gold!
Just bad
Amazing Tony, well done on committing to the bit, what a year long set up for a joke! Still a great review and can't wait to see the Assembly Cut review now - which I don't know if I am an alone weirdo for this, or because it was the first Alien movie I ever saw and had 0 expectations, but Alien 3 is my favourite, and I don't think gets enough credit for just how good the acting is. When I saw the other ones I could see its flaws, but then I saw how the Assembly Cut sorted out a lot of the issuers and it was back to my favourite one again.
Keep it up man, hope you have something else to hype for the next year or so now.
Alien 3, the day has finally come! It’s so beyond cool that everyone came together for this.
What a let down this ended up being my friend
@@michaermyels4490 Apparently I’m being told by people in the comments that the real episode like that we wanted to see will be in the Assembly Cut Review, I don’t really know why bother with this then in the first place but whatever
Prison Mike is a great guy! Hopefully he gets an official pardon.
Tony, i freaking love you for this. The whole thing was brilliant. You absolute madman
Always liked Alien 3. I was 15 when it came out so it hit me at the right time. Just love the mood and atmosphere. It also helps that I had the Super Nintendo game which was also good.
I love them all honestly 1-4 .. They all have their own unique flavor.
Alien still is my favorite.
4 did not age as well as the rest, unfortunately.
IT'S HAPPENING EVERYONE, IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!
Also, I was in 7th grade when this came out. I know this because I remember buying the book adaption of the movie and reading it before it came out.
Even Mint Salad 😔
Oh, that's where Scott the woz has been.... dead
I didnt expect, but dynamic between Tony and Prison Mike does not dissapoint!!
I remember the big Saturday HBO premiere of Alien³. I just turned 13 in '92. I'm not ashamed to enjoy this movie. The dreary atmosphere, the tunnel chase, Clemens & Dillon, and cinematography were excellent.
That intro for the HBO Saturday night premiere was unforgettable.
Same.
That opening was worth the wait and beautiful.Jake Gyllenhaal was a great Prison Mike
I’m not gonna lie, that ending for the assembly cut would’ve made Hollywood take notes.
The comic book adaptation of William Gibson’s Alien3 is the way to go
I have to admit. I did like alien 3. It was the first time seeing an ‘alien’ film in theatre. Yes it may be a mess. But I liked it and thought it was pretty, pretty, pretty….pretty good. 🤘🏽⚡️🤘🏽

@@Assimandeli Yes, the first half is the strongest.
4 is the best 3 is fine 1 is dated and if you remove giger is nothing 2 is scrappy doo
Same here I was 12 when I saw this in theatre and tbh it took my innocence away a bit 😅. Bleak af tone and everyone including the hero dying was entirely new to me so this film made an impression on me 💯
Was this the greatest review in the channel’s history? Yes. But did it have the best guest in channel history? Also, yes.
This is like “Hack the movies: The Movie.”
Finally awesome! Both cuts have the same problems for me. After all the newer crap,
it's not the worst anymore.
Crazy enough, I've seen quite a lot of people claim that Alien Resurrection is better than 3. The world we live in!
The assembly cut only improves some minor details about the film. It's better, but it doesn't save the film.
@@Assimandeli Alien 3's brutality didn't bother me, but it's not earned and the 1 alien we got sucks. I only really care about Alien and Aliens now.
H R Giger's mother was terminally ill at the time so he was permanently based in Switzerland for a good while.
Dang, even before that awesome intro with everybody I was kinda expecting a similar to that amount of people for the review. Even way lesser movie reviews in the Hack the Movies review catalogue have had 3 hosts at least. This whole alien 3 buildup was kind’ve a letdown Tony, and I love you guys I’ve watched every episode
I think that's honestly what the point was. Alien 3 didn't hold up to the hype because it sucked just like this review does lmao
Same here. the guest host was boring AF ... this was basically Tony talking to himself in a corner.
Come back Thursday!
The whole point was to build it up and then disappoint you. Just like in Alien 3. The fans all wanted their favorite characters to come back, but all we got was the lead and bald prisoners.
@@chaseschleich9610 Exactly. This review was to recreate the feeling many people got when seeing Alien³ for the first time.
It was well done by HTM.
"Who's your favourite character?"
"Ripley.....believe it or not"

Haha great build up for the review in the trailer!... Good job tony and well played.... Well played 😉
Host "DID YOU EVER SEE THIS MOVIE ?"
Prison Mike "no"
Tony, you magnificent bastard, that was a pretty good joke at the beginning. This review was pretty cool.
"Even Mint Salad?" I was really expecting him to followup with "Oh! *especially* Mint Salad??"
Prison Mike, What's the worse thing about prison? The Dementors!
“Alien 3: On Earth Everyone Can Hear You Scream”. The internet made this a reality, now Everyone on Earth can hear you scream about Alien 3.
That cold open...Tony, you sneaky fox you 😂😂 (ALIEN 3, LETS GO! I'm so excited for this review after years of teasing it)
All of the Alien reviews rocked. But I have to say, Prison Mike had me in stitches especially the “spray” comment. Fricken hilarious!
Now that’s a line up!!!!! Can’t wait for Kieran’s jokes 😂
Kieran: "I promise not to make any furious masturbation jokes in this episode".
Tony: "So the escape pod crash lands on Fury 161"
Kieran: "...goddamit"
In seriousness, Kieran's probably my favourite of the Hack the Movies guests. He just seems down to earth and funny.

genious! :D
Ripping of other people's ideas. Not hack the movies, lol
Prison Mike is great! I'd love if he could come back! Oh, but it was a dream... Got it! Have him in a Nightmare on Elm Street review!
AMAZING!!! That intro is just like what my cousin and I would make when we were younger. Loved it!
Great job Tony, and Prison Mike, this was worth the wait ✨👍👍
My best friend's Dad (who was like my Movie Guru as a kid/teen) banned me from watching Aliens3 after he showed me Alien and Aliens.
Good man!
I love 3 it was the first Alien I saw in theaters, and while I was upset about Newt and Hicks. I still enjoyed the darker film and it’s dark setting.
People always have a problem with the egg. Like “How’s a creature we only just discovered existed lay an egg after removing their Ovopositor? It’s an immutable law that the alien Queen egg layer couldn’t possibly lay extra eggs after losing her ovipositor.” Yet some people like egg morphing which is dumb.
It's happening!
It's actually happening!
The Alien ³ review is finally upon us!
Dark Horse did a graphic novel adaptation of Alien 3 and it was pretty cool. It had Hicks & Newt but no Ripley
Can’t wait to see this even on my BIRTHDAY ❤️❤️❤️
What a historic day we’ve all been waiting for…
I was born in 84 this was the scariest one for me... I also read the book and watch it often. Dillon is the best character out of the original trilogy
I love the whole meta joke going on. You got me good.
ohhhh shit, this is like an inception rewiew...at first i was "why he did this, all that hype and the intro and then...boom mind blown" this is great.
This dude in the orange has this odd emotionless stare...
Each response to Tony is like a sociopathic shrug...
So basically the movie
Meta-Hack the Movies Episode. Tony knows how to keep the fans engaged.
The theatrical? Come on! We all know the assembly cut is the way to go
That's on thursday. Its alien 3 week!
@@HackTheMovies noice

Fincher made the most of it but I wish we could have seen more of his vision on screen. Theres so much material left on the cutting floor and even stuff they never filmed. Shame.
Tonys taste in movies went from trolling to solid ironic, and now he just likes to be a pure contrarian.
Yeah very inconsistent.
Feels like someone is missing
Unfortunately David Fincher doesn't talk about or participate in interviews about Alien 3. Believe me I wish he was in the videos too.
Tony has to have some major pull to get Scott the Woz and Mintsalad, too bad they died in a horrific and bloody car accident
This was wonderful, thanks to everyone and super famous TH-camr Tony from Hack the Movies !
This is the calmest I’ve seen Tony in months.
I thought we were about to get the Endgame crossover of Hack The Movies.
Prison Mike saw Panic Room but not Sev7n?!?! WTF?!?
even Mint Salad?!
Even after picking up on the gag, this was still hard to get through lol
I disagree! It was great!
@@GrandTourVideos not saying it was bad. The point of it was to be frustrating and disappointing. Which it successfully achieved. Tony "Ryan Johnson" over here has subverted our expectations
I don’t know what everyone is talking about this review being underwhelming on purpose. I had a good time with it and Prison Mike is delightful.
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE CROSSOVER!!!
Ahhh, actually this gag grew on me, well done Tony.
Prison Mike rocks. "I liked the mouth out of the mouth"
Always loved Alien3! My Dad took me to see it when it came out and I was probably the first person to rent it on VHS from my local joint when it came out. Also won that same Alien3 promo hat that Tony is wearing from a contest at another local video store…wore that hat to death back in the day!
I definitely prefer 1 over 2. It’s like one is an isolated space horror and the the other is an action movie.
Say you what you want about Alien convent. For me the space walk scene was very unsettling for me.
Almost to a man, the people who actually liked Alien 3 dislike Aliens for straying away from the supposed nihilism of part 1.
At first I was like oh. Then I was like *oh*.
Someone should try playing a drinking game while watching these. Everytime Tony says "uhhh", you take a shot or sip of your beer. I think you'll be completely annihilated half way through.
Add one more death on Tony's conscious, my buddy just tried to play your drinking game and died to alcohol poisoning. How does Tony not feel any remorse for the death of his friends and the marvel deathpile!?
@@blurtednonsense5631 oh no 😳
Love the opening. I am one of those people who can't forgive this movie (either cut, despite some good stuff) for killing every survivor of the previous one. That's almost as bad as if they did sequels to the Star Wars movies, where they bring back the Empire and the Sith, making their victory meaningless then ruin the relationship of Han and Leia and kill them all.
Get over it. I'm glad they died! Ha ha!
Could not agree more with every word you said. Except you forgot to say F Disney, they have pretty much ruined everything I use to love .
Yep that's the problem new trilogy, they just rehash and repeat original trilogy but make it somehow worse. Worse of all they push aside some actually good original ideas like Finn being a Stormtrooper that go on good side and maybe is Force sensitive ( seriously he should be main character, he at least would have original story).
Alien 3 is a guilty pleasure of mine tbh
You can tell Prison Mike really appreciates Tony's work in Zombies by Design.
At first thought from The video art they were reviewing the video with “ Triumph The insult comic Dog”😬which would have been awesome 👍🏽
What a breath of fresh air this mike brings to the table he pushes the show along. Makes the show have a smoother quicker pace.
Yes! Finally! Lol. I've been a massive Alien 3 fan since day one. Thanks for the review...oh, one more thing...sorry to to be 'that guy' but the guy you keep calling Morz is called Morse :) Can't wait for the next videos!
So heres my analysis of Alien 3 if anyone cares.
While there was a bunch of behind the scenes stuff going on the hampered with the final product and alot of fans like the assembly cut I dont thing the final product we initially got was as bad as people make it out to be, I am an Alien super fan but the points I will make come from the understand of public perception as well as my own storytelling experience as a writer myself.

Well there's an hour of my life I'm not getting back...
You got to stop this Tony from hack the movies. I was so hyped! Kieran, Scott and Klayton! Rest in power you legends.
The Alien surviving the lead reminded me of when Smaug was covered in gold in The Hobbit 2
Well at least we didn't get the Vincent Ward version of Alien 3
This was awesome. Especially because prison Mike looks almost identical to my old boss but with a lighter complexion.
The way the Alien figure lines up with the mic I almost thought it was the coolest mic stand I've ever seen. Somone needs to make some Alien themed mics lol. 14:20
I think john davis from Korn had a Geiger themed microphone stand now that i think of it. I agree though
William Gibson's ALIEN 3: The Unproduced Screenplay is FTW.
You had us there for a while Tony 👏
OK. I kinda love that it only look me 4 seconds of watching before I realized "oh. That promo was just some bullsh-t" lol.
I've decided we need the wooden planet timeline.
Oh no! Not mint salad! 😢
So glad we got an alien 3 review with my two favorite guests. No offense to prison dude but he was soo low energy in the last video, it was like reviewing the movie with a brick wall.
Give him a break. He was on edge and had just escaped from prison.
I laughed so fucking hard when that facehugger got Kieran
Who's prison Mike and how's he not seen T2?
1 Tony and a bald prison guy. It took me a while but that’s flucin hilarious!
That Kieran "Vaffanculo" almost made me choke🤣🤣🤣
Im sure i saw somewhere about the face hugger double hugging, that because it laid a queen it then can lay a drone to protect it, unlike normal huggers who only lay drones....yeah i know its just trying to fill a plot hole but it kinda makes sense 🤷♂️
