- I finally watch ALIENS (1986) for the FIRST TIME!
Movie Summary:
After floating in space for 57 years, Lt. Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) shuttle is found by a deep space salvage team. Upon arriving at LV-426, the marines find only one survivor, a nine year old girl named Newt (Carrie Henn). But even these battle-hardened marines with all the latest weaponry are no match for the hundreds of aliens that have invaded the colony.

The "look into my eye" he uses his middle finger as if to say "f-you, Private!" 😂
I saw the making of Aliens and he was in the Marines during the Vietnam war. he said he had to warn the actors not to point the prop guns at him by mistake because instinctually he'd take it from them and shove it up there A$$...totally believe he'd do it too! RIP Al Matthews, thank you for your service in the entertainment industry and more importantly fighting for our country.
All those Aliens were born from humans from the colony so they have some human DNA. That gives them some human intelligence.
Two things...Newt's brother in the movie is really her brother. The picture of Ripley's daughter that Burke showed her is really her mother!
Interesting
Bill Paxton was a legend. The only person killed by an alien, a predator, and a terminator.
well we actually dont know if he was killed in the first terminator movie though. you just see him getting slammed against the bars. could've just gotten knocked out cold.
He was also behind the early 80s strange song called "fish heads"
Everyone forgets about Lance Henrikson.
@@patricknorris6814 wellll, TECHNICALLY bishop survived..... ish :P
@@SmileybeeblevroxLOL Wait, what? XD That song is hilarious!
This might have said already, but the extra scenes were Ripley learnings about her daughter and Newts family finding the ship. Love this movie!!!!☺️☺️☺️
There are quite a few extra and extended scenes. The entire automated turrets were cut from the theatrical release
Vasquez was played the same actor that played John Conners foster mother in "Terminator 2".
She was also in Titanic. She was the woman that stayed with the ship going down with her two kids.
@@angelcris10 The Irish mother with the two kids.
I never knew that, thanks for the info!
She's also one of the passengers in lower steerage in Titanic. The one scene where shes comforting her children in bed as the ship is sinking
@@angelcris10 Wow! I didn’t know that either. I’m going to have to watch “Titanic” again. Thanks.🙂
On the theatrical release, Ripley having a daughter was not a part of the storyline. Also, the whole scene that showed the children playing in the hallway on the planet was not in the original release.
Out of all the reviews for this movie, I liked yours the best. If I wasn’t laughing out loud, you had me grinning with delight!😂😊😅
Also no centry guns scene
This movie is the GOAT
And you should check out the story behind the making of Aliens 1986
It made me love the movie and the main actress Sigourney Weaver even more
There is also extra footage of the sentry guns going off before the aliens bust into the med lab.
Ellen VS Queen Xeno - one of the most badA moments in movie history.
HELLS YES!
If you ever are interested, there is an audiobook about what happens to the colony before the Marines arrive. Full cast sound effects and music. I thoroughly enjoyed it
What’s the name of the audiobook? Thank you in advance.
@@MsAppassionataAlien: River of Pain
Thank you! I want to hear this now.
I do not know if anyone would agree with me, but I end the series with this one, and prefer not to watch Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection
Most fans agree with that.
Yes yes yes. 1000% agree.
The most important thing, with Newt's first scene and Ripley learning about her daughter, is that you feel the mother-daughter relationship between the two more.
Special edition shows the scene talking about Ripley’s Daughter Amanda (which btw if you game, you should play Alien:Isolation. You play as her daughter looking for Ripley, and you’re on an abandoned space station with a Xenomorph.), and it adds the scene with the family discovering the ship and getting a face hugger on the dad. There may be more but that’s what I know.
They mostly come at night mostly
It wasn't mentioned in Movie one about Ripley having a daughter. It was showed in this movie.
Fantastic movie! I'm glad you chose it. I do think it's better than the first movie. Some dismiss it as simply an action movie but the aliens don't show up until an hour into it. Cameron ratchets up the tension brilliantly up until then. I do prefer the theatrical version though! It's leaner and tighter.
Im always going to thumbs up and comment on an Aliens reaction.
That Bishop pipe scene and the buried alive scene from Kill Bill trigger my claustrophobia so bad. I had an MRI and I had to come out of the machine because I kept thinking about those scenes.
I hate getting MRI’s. I feel as if I can’t breathe. I don’t know if standup MRI’s are better but I need to have one and it’s not something I’m looking forward to.
@@MsAppassionataI haven’t done the stand up MRI but I did the sit down open MRI and it was better. It’s still not ideal but anything beats that tube.
@@keemg10 Oh! I didn’t even know that they have a sit down MRI. I was dreading getting the standup one because I have a very bad back and I cannot stand up for long periods of time. I am going to ask my doctor about it. Thanks for the info.
The alien was designed by an artist named H.R. Giger.
If you Google up the name, you'll find his art work...it is...ummm...odd, to say the least.
I've been told that Paul Reiser's(Burke) mother cheered in the theater when he was caught by an alien.
Carrie Henn(Newt) gree up and had a career as a school teacher. She and Sigournie Weaver are still friends.
When parents of her students realise who she is, they slip Alien memorabilia in their kid's school bags for her to sign.
And they never made another Alien movie, so they lived happily ever after!
😂😂😂 That’s exactly how I feel about the franchise.
There was a sequel to this when Ripley was in a prison. And then there is Aliens Resurrection with Ron Perlman and Winona Rider
@@belvagurr403 whoooosh
@@belvagurr403 Nope, that is in another franchise all together.
@@belvagurr403its just a fever dream =)
8:57 Jeez, you're always full of preconceptions, aren't you?!!! *Alien* : "they've got a black guy, well, we know who's gonna die first..." etc. But, nice reaction!!
Wonderful isn't it? And STOP there, no need to watch any more the Alien saga ends here.
Agreed. The franchise ends here for me. Every movie after this just degrades it.
The mall scenario? If the Predator doesn't have any weapons and his tech i'd choose the Predator. If he has all his toys i'd choose the Alien.
I’d much rather have a Predator after me!
He would either make it a quick death, or not even bother with hunting such a non-threat lol
Queen takes Bishop .😂
Idk of this has been stated or you said something not in the reaction is when cutting the space ship door open the harpoon gun is still stuck underneath it which I did not catch for years before catching that is a great throwback to the 1st.
Hand to hard combat with a big ass Queen alien. Excellent
Alien Abduction 2014, this movie was filmed from a kids camcorder.
Fun fact? Ok.
"Little shop of Horrors" was filmed at the same time as Aliens almost at the same lot. How close were they? They were close enough that a, eventually replaced, actor 'accidentally' fired live ammo into the other set. So technically James Cameron fired shots at Frank Oz for box office dominance in 1986 well before either of their movies came out.
The third film is underrated, whatever it says in the comments I’d recommend you watch it. The media knights did recently and they agreed with me ❤
Most fans don't agree. Neither does the director, David Fincher. He still hates it with a passion.
It continues the story...I have always liked this movie but I know it's not most fans' favorite.
@@pamnicklas5536 No, it doesn't. 3 starts with a huge retcon. And the entire movie depends on it. No retcon, no movie.
That BREAKS continuity.
Special Edition on it, for sure though. Greatly enjoy it.
It's a solid Alien movie on its own but as a continuation from Aliens it's such a freakin letdown. Still has a lot of great moments and the alien design is sick.
Something to help: the big bug is the Queen Xenomorph. The Queens have some degree over the eggs hatching, plus they have some natural capability to tell whether or not there is viable sources to nest i(impregnate), so they don't die off. The other thing is that Ellen Ripley was no slouch -- Sigourney Weaver decided that she wanted Ripley to become stronger & to fight back along with Ridley Scott & they both worked to make that happen.
You need to rewatch AVP now because there is so much more you understand.
Also, check out Predator now, they're in the same universe & the Yautja (Predators) work to fight the Xenomorphs.
Here is just a little story on what happen to Newts brother , it was told in a Alien audiobook that tells the story of what happen before Ripley and the marines got there . The aliens attacked the colony and Newt was the only one who was small enough to fit in those tight vents where the aliens could not fit . While the fight was going on an alien was going for Newts mother but her brother grabbed a gun from a dead person shot and killed the alien but the acid blood melted his face and killed him in the process . The little guy went down fighting while protecting his mother and even got to kill a xenomorph but sadly everyone got killed or taken by the aliens except for Newt who was still hiding in that little spot . The audio book was amazing , there is even a audio book on what happen to Ripley before she was found in this second movie .
That book with Ripley waking up before she was found and then forgetting was ridiculous! The aliens having some sort of memory of Ripley on a genetic level was one of the worst things to come from a book. Almost as much of a stinker as colonial marines lol. They just got to leave the movie characters alone and focus on original ones.
Things cut from the theatrical release that I can remember (because I only watch the Special Edition anymore and it's been years): Anything related to the colony before the marines land there -- so Newt is not introduced until they find her. Half of Ripley's conversation with Burke when she is having the nightmare, also some of the footage of her trying to live her life after the hearing. The reveal that her daughter has died of old age (or at least the scene was cut down severely). The gun turrets scene. The "who is laying the eggs?" scene. Some old VHS releases had the scene with Ripley's daughter's death added back in (it was on the copy I grew up with), but as far as I know it wasn't in the theatrical version and wasn't on some editions I have seen SINCE that are labeled as the theatrical version. There may have been one or two other moments from the cut scenes restored in that version but the daughter-scene was the one I recalled.
After watching Newts Tale on TH-cam, I learned a lot about what happened before Ripely, and the soldiers arrived to help out. But I do wish Burkes death would have stayed in the movie too. His death in the comic book was perfect justice. But as always, the books have all the details, and the movies leave out.
It's great that you decided to watch the Special Edition. It is really the only way to watch this science-fiction masterpiece.
To me, Aliens is possibly the greatest sequel and the greatest sci-fi film ever made. Sigourney Weaver shouldve won Best Actress. Her Ellen Ripley is right up there with Sarah Connor and Scarlett O'Hara as one of the greatest, strongest, most iconic female roles in movie history.
After Aliens, there are no more movies with Ellen Ripley worth watching. If you cared about the characters of Newt and Hicks, avoid the next movie, Alien 3 at all cost.
Definitely sci-fi action
I'd defintely choose the Predator. Cuz I'd just hide, since Predators won't kill you if it's not a challenge (They're prize hunters, and I'm deffinitely no prize. lol).
Fun fact: The picture of Ellen's daughter, was an age-progression image of Sigorny Weaver as a 66-year-old (Age-progression software was just starting to come into it's own at the time.).
Carrie Henn was an underclassman to my brother--she was a year younger--but I remember my brother talking about her when the movie came out (I was in high school at the time.). I remember an interview about her, the reason she got the part wasn't just because of her acting skills, but that she also had the best scream.
Don't watch Alien3! Just let your memory of Ripley, Hicks, and Newt remain untainted. It retcons the ending of this movie in an unforgivable way!
Bishop, like Samuels, was a good synthetic unlike Ash. Total nostalgia. Bishop was truly a good help.
Awesome Movie and Work Bro Thanks!!! Greetings from Helsinki, Finland🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
Bishop laying on the floor grasping ,like " NOOOOOO, My precious milk!!!" lol
Action horror mate.
To answer a question from previously. As to where do the xenomorphs come from and where the eggs come from as well. There are a total of three ways for the eggs or the xenomorphs to be formed. One of the options is from Prometheus you would have to watch it I'm not going to spoil it for you then go into alien covenant for a full understanding as to the way how the xenomorph species was truly made. However the first movie as depicted if there's only one single alien which in that one it was a drone in its development to a warrior cast. In the development stage a drone would be required to build a small nest or work as a worker bee to form a hive. And because of the amount of victims in the first movie in some of the deleted scenes they take passed away or even unconscious or even living victims to be used for biomatter to create Hive structures or even to help reproduce new eggs in a process that is called egg morphing. In this process a xenomorph a can be burst from organic or synthetic tissue. All it requires is a little bit of Hive matter because the hive itself is alive it's essentially a bio symbiosis that can help regenerate xenomorphs or even store xenomorph DNA. At the beginning stages of this colony as a depicted in The at the beginning stages of this colony as a depicted in the books in the comic the xenoverse quickly growing due to the beginning infestation to a beginning total of 14 xenomorphs however a majority of the hosts were taken care of. All but 5 or 7 xenomorphs were loose in colonists started going missing. In the state if multiple xenomorphs are in area of infestation typically the oldest xenomorphs will start to molt into a praetorian state which is a pure female meaning the beginning stages of a queen. A queen can easily be produced in a matter of a day or so depending on seeing what DNA and from its hosts. From animals and creatures and also humans themselves or other species does Dean wars can take on the attribute and difficulties from all of its victims. For valid example I'm metabolism can help speed up growth of a xenomorph horde in a matter of a day or a mere week outbreaks can easily spread quickly over basically unlivable. In the process when a queen is developed an egg sac is formed depicted in this movie however as I stated there are three ways but there is a fourth and that requires genetic mutation of cloning but that can result in hybrid creations or even impure xenomorphs. The true xenomorphs will produce new eggs from passed away victims and uses biomatter to continue their growth of nests hives dens and so forth. Ball producing additional eggs with the addition of a xenomorph Queen.
What's a Sulaco you ask? Well, it's the name of their ship, the one that kinda looks lika a swiss army knife. Awesome movie, and a classic, although I don't quite understand why they cut the bit about Ripley's daughter from the theatrical version, without that scene, you never get to know if she really was adrift in space for 57 years, or if that was just part of the nightmare. And you also miss out on the cool gun turret scene.
Anyhow, there is an Alien 3, but I really don't care for the beginning at all. And then there's Resurrection, in that one it's the ending that makes me go huh, wtf? Prometheus and Covenant are prequels to Alien, they are ok I guess, but a bit too complicated for their own good. I hope Romulus is good, but Hollywood tends to be a bit weird these days. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
So knew you'd like this movie,.it's a faster pace than the first,..so yeah action/horror, fantastically done,..theater was packed when we went to see it,..and when the queen was revealed, stone cold quiet, nobody coughed, nobody sneezed,.and only breathing you could hear was the queen, all that heavy breathing, I guess cause she was continuously laying eggs, took a lot out of her, yess and so gross, nasty, nasty,..but we were all in shock, she's so enormous, thats was you know the hook,..like when Ghidorah is first revealed, the ancipation of what it will look like, and when this movie we kinda figured there'd be more than one alien, hence the title, but no idea an enormous queen would be in it,..and yeah darlin, you counted Vasquez out, way too soon,..girl is a boss, she held it down,..helped others escaped, while they're escaping she's fending off a horde of aliens,..that scene where she tells Hicks to go,..like,..I got this,..totally badass,..Ferro too, the pilot, she went down swinging though, going for her gun, alien just got the jump on her,..if she'd had the chance she would've filled it full of lead,..and of course Ripley, and Newt, Newt held it down, with no adults, just her wits as s child,..can you believe that,..the smarts she had as a child,..and I think maybe for more than 2 weeks,..think in that scene where the colonists are still alive, and think, I don't know, facility manager is talking to the other guy, he says something about it taking 2 weeks to get a message back to Earth, or maybe that space station orbiting Earth,..and Burke said they lost contact with the colonists, how long did it take after not hearing from them, for them to realize something was wrong,..you know,..Hicks said it would take 17 days, for them to be considered in trouble, rescue,..thats over 2 weeks right there,..so Newt had a long wait for a rescue, such as it was,..and yess Hudson was the one talking smack,..how they had all these weapons, and would protect Ripley,..and look what happened,..he was the one constantly to whine, and fuss,..until like you said, he too went out a badass, swinging as he went,.truly enjoyed your reaction,..awesome,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
See, this movie teaches you about things. For example, I considered myself a pacifist, violence is the last resort, etc. I still do, but with a modification: I would happily airlock Burke without a second of hesitation.
Don’t listen to anyone. Watch the other films and form your own opinion.
.
Yes, the first 2 are amazing, but the others are interesting in their own right.
.
People make it such a point to say “stop here.” Well, they didn’t. And it’s just movies so if you decide to proceed it’s not like you did elective surgery.
If you like reading, read Alien River of Pain it's basically from Hadleys Hope what the colonists went through great book
if im not mistaken, the man who played Apone (Al Matthews, may he rest in peace) was actually in the marines or at least the military and that allowed him to lend authenticity to his role. and youre watching the director's cut. it includes extra footage of newt's family finding the derelict ship ( on burke's orders), the but about ripley's daughter and a few others. i wish i still had my copy. i learned the hard way NOT to loan dvds to people. they almost never bring them back. and honestly, you cant really compare this with the first one. this was sci fi action and the first, sci fi horror. excellent in their own right. as to which is better? it depends on your personal preferences :)
Classic movie
For four hours I’d choose the predator. The alien would hunt regardless, but with a predator, drop your weapons, become “unworthy prey” and have a coffee with the dude.
This was one of my mosther's favorite movies!
This is by far my favorite move in the franchise. I think the first is overrated, but I am kind of on my own there. Three I like a lot. Most people don't I can understand why but it works for me. The prequels and the later ones are not good.
Burke is such a hated character I have heard in the theater even the actor's mother cheered his death.
If I was stuck in a mall like that I would just get everyone else to wear red shirts and I would wear blue...
Both are great movies. The first is using a higher-grade film stock and is an example of a very sophisticated sci-fi horror film. The second is a really great sci-fi action film that no one's even come close to duplicating. Aliens owes a lot more to Alien than just the creature. If you compare plot points between the two films there are scads of them.
The one scene that in this edition that I prefer to the version I saw in '79 introduces Ripley's status as a mother, supporting the bond she forms with Rebecca/Newt.
She never mentioned her daughter in the first movie. And if you didn’t watch the special edition, you wouldn’t have known still.
Ripley tells Newt she had a daughter.
@@miller-joel I actually don’t remember if that part of their conversation is in the theatrical version or not. But if it is, my bad.
@@CrownlessKing88 Yeah, I haven't seen the theatrical version in forever. No reason to. That may be extra dialog in the special edition.
What I do know is that Weaver was pissed off about those scenes being removed, which she considered essential to her character.
@@miller-joel yes! I remember that. She fought very hard to get those scenes to stay in.
If you want to learn more about Ripley's daughter, you should play the game "Alien Isolation". It stars Amanda Ripley.
I actually met Carrie Henn (NEWT) last year at a convention; days before Halloween. Wish I could share a picture. Got her autograph on my Aliens DVD
I was amazed that Bishop remained useful after ripped in half, unlike a certain gold droid in Empire Strikes Back. The actor who played him didn’t know how to read until he was 30 years old!
Also, I was ecstatic when the movie was mentioned in an Avengers film and the basis for a rescue plan! They even did a camera shot that was reminiscent of it.
Glad you had watched the Special Edition of Aliens. Do NOT bother with the remaining sequels. HUGE disappointments.
Normally don’t bother with audio commentaries but I enjoyed the one with the director and cast
Do not bother with the remaining sequels.
You must be a flat earther.
one of the best things about this is that the majority of the marines are actually competent and not making stupid mistakes(they make mistakes like the pilots landing on the planet instead of hovering or returning to the ship but they are reasonable mistakes and have logical reasons to make them like saving fuel and staying close enough to arrive quickly in case of emergency).
3 fun facts
the picture of ripley's daughter is really picture of her mother
the gay who plays bishop has Claustrophobia
burks real mother was at the premier and laughed when he died in that scene
if i was you i would skip aliens 3 but knowing you your gunna watch it anyways
31:08 In all my 35 years of rewatching this movie, that moment never clicked. Awesome.
alien = something not of this world
xenomorph = stranger or foreigner with a strange form/ body
so if you think about it they mean the same thing.
ripley just lost her daughter...so finding Newt was both a blessing and a curse...it gave a sense of immense motherly protection for Newt...that helped her get through...but it also could have misguided her.
Xenomorph literally means alien/exotic form/shape. It doesn't necessarily refer to a particular species.
I have to laugh. From when I saw this movie when it was new, until now/Everybody forgets the cargo loaders!❤
Thank you for doing this reaction. I hope that you'll react to the rest of the Alien series. They might not be as great as the first two, but they'll give you more lore.
it's not the Aliens' home planet, either. the humans were NOT invading their turf.
in this movie, humans and xenomorphs are alien to the planet on which this movie is set.
Love this movie! One of my all time favs! I saw it in theaters with my dad at release, i was 9 years old! Scared the shit outta us! My dad was even covering his face in the theater! lol!
Oh this is a good one
I am SOOO guilty of the Kiddo.. 😂 I use it as a term of endearment and to make old folks feel young. No malice intended. ❤
I choose the Alien for 4 hours.. The Predator can totally snipe you when he sees the heat you give off.. 🤔
React to sugar and spice great movie to watch and it’s o. TH-cam watch free
Movies these days don't know how to build the tension needed for a real jumpscare.
The special edition has 17 mins more footage. A bunch of scenes to flesh out the story or add a bit of sauce.
I hate whoever came up with the term facehugger... It cuts the terror down by giving it a cute name. Ugh!
Hopefully you'll be into it enough to push forward with the ALIEN franchise... there's definitely a couple movies that aren't great...but overall with the tie-in to The Predator franchise all the way to PROMETHEUS is pretty badass progression IMO 🤘🔥🤘
Loved this movie my all time fav movie ever. Glad you watched the special edition to me it adds in more esp for Ripley and Newt but also for the autocannons lol
Most film fans generally agree that Empire Strikes Back, Godfather II, T2, and ALIENS are the sequels that surpass their predecessors.
I think people are coming around to the idea that The Terminator is the better film when compared to T2. I enjoyed T2 as a kid but it's a very popcorn, blockbuster kind of film and losing Arnold as a relentless cyborg killing machine is a negative. Robert Patrick was obviously great as the T-1000.
Nice reaction, good movie choice, really enjoyed it. Thanks!
Awesome mid 80s action stuff.
The movie is much more than simply "80s action stuff"
@@FervAnimalLover Yeah it's an awesome one.
My Favourite Alien Sequel
I dont think she mentioned her daughter in the first one. We didnt learn anything about the crew
Watch the end credits an listen right to the end.
Remembering the Queen was on board just after laying eggssss ...you're then ready for Alien 3
That wasn't to set up Alien 3 though. Cameron himself said he didn't like the plot
Soldiers can and will sleep at any time they can. Even on a combat drop
Don't waste your time on the other sequels, they aren't even close.
I can't tell you how long it was after this movie before I could stand watching Paul reiser in anything else I loathed him for this role lol I guess he did a good job
After playing good guys in TV and movies, I didn't view Paul Reiser as a bad guy from his "Aliens" role. After all, good guys roles are dull; villains are much more interesting to play.;)
Hicks is Michael Biehn, Reese in Terminator
Ridley Is The Bomb!😢🫣🥰👾👽🤖🖥💕
If you're in the Army, you're a Soldier. In the Marines you're a Marine.
so many people argue over the terminology Marine is a soldier but not a Soldier(common vs proper noun).
Now you have to see the Aliens 3 to find out what happened to Newt. And the last one is Aliens Resurrection
What? Why? Why would anyone want to know what happens in Alien 3??
41:00 my meme 2024
Good job 🐺👍🏼Oorah!
Best movie... of all time. GOAT.
you should check out uncut gems
I would try to save a child also
Love the sequel. As a kid I believe I saw Aliens before Alien. I wasn’t born when the first one was released, so this one hold a special place in heart. 🦾🔥
"Aliens": Third Officer Ripley has been found and taken to Gateway station with a Xenomorph-size case of PTSD. What will the Weyland-Yutani Suits make of her blowing up the "Nostromo"? I had a question about Ripley that led me to buy the 1990 Special Edition Laserdisc(!), which added Pathos and telling details to this amazing tale. I recall reading that Sigpourney Weaver said that "Aliens" was about guns; I always though it was about Family. 8:28 That's UK actor Mark Rolston, as "Pvt. Drake," SmartGun operator. You might remember him as "Boggs Diamond" in the "Shawshank Redemption." (1994). 8:37 Michael Biehn, as "Corporal Dwayne Hicks," who was "Tech. Sgt. Kyle Reese" in "The Terminator" (1984). 9:18 Actor/Bodybuilder Jenette Goldstein speaks Spanish like an Angeleno, and thought that "Aliens" was going to be about La Raza. 10:25 This is another "Bug Hunt," but THEY as the bugs! 11:53 Ripley shows Apone and Hicks that she isn't a front office paper shuffler like Burke, but is a working class dog like themselves. 19:25 In 1986, I noticed that Ripley was able to "get close, quickly" to Rebecca, unlike the female Colonial Marines. A reviewer at the time said: "Sisterhood!" When I bought the 1990 SE Laserdisc, I confirmed that Ripley had been a parent. Without "Alien," there wouldn't be a sequel. This is where it should have ended, but sequelitis is a dread Hollyweird disease...
Things added compared to the theatrical version:
- The sequence in the "forest" recreational room, where we learn about Ripleys daughter. Ripley being a parent is not mentioned in the first movie, and neither in the theatrical version
- Van Lewens conclusion or decision at the meeting, where we learn than Ripleys flight license is recalled indefinitely and that she has to see a shrink
- The whole sequence on LV426, leading up to the discovery of the aliens (the control center conversation and the family in the buggy)
- Hudson bragging and being a dork on the drop towards the planet
- both auto turret scenes. In the theatrical they are briefly mentioned, but setting them up and seeing them in action as the aliens "attack" is not in the theatrical
And then probably a bunch of scenes that are cut just a tiny bit differently. But as for the major differences, the above list is just about it.
Fun fact: the atmosphere generator scenes were filmed in an abandoned power generator plant near London where James Cameron had previously filmed the ending (the steel mill) of "Terminator 2".
Love Aliens but ya I still prefer theatrical release.. 🤷♂️
I don’t remember all the differences but imo a more streamlined movie. 🍿
A3 AR P AC are all very good keep going! 👽
The androids/synthetics thru the series are named Alphabetically…kinda sorta
…A B C D W 🥚
