Yeah, He was a good guy and the comic relief in the movie. It’s very sad what happened to him. Same thing that happened to John Ritter, another funny guy. I miss them both. Paxton was good in every film he was in. He played the crazy in Terminator. RIP
Hudson is kind of similar to me; I get jittery, nervous, Doom and gloom when things are going bad, but when the shit seriously hits the fan and someone gets in my face, I go mental, almost like switching gear
@@763kjm Im about 40% Hudson, 40% Hicks and 20% Drake :) But yeah I absolutely loved that guy. Hit me hard when I found obout his death.. It was like few months after I watched this reunion :(
@@JeVoudrais12 I believe you are right, but I think it is safe to say he was definitely pigeon holed at some point but Tombstone seemed to kinda pull him out of that, but I think his drinking had become an issue by that point. He is truly the greatest action star of the 80's and yet, never would be mentioned in the conversation.
Yeah, and not only that but he looked great and gracefully aged. Fucking sucks dude, life is so fragile. Remember to tell the people you love that you do often peeps! R.I.P Mr Paxton.
Bishop looks like he is about ready to power down. Really is amazing that everyone showed up to Comicon to talk about the film, even being paid for it I bet many non nerds would rather not go to Comicon.
This is truly an A-list of folks who created one of the greatest sci-fi action films of all time. The story, the acting, the pacing, and the alien FX are timeless. Aliens resides in the pantheon of cinema greatness.
My top tier Bill Paxton performances are The Terminator (1984) Aliens (1986) his breakout role One False Move (1992) Tombstone (1993) True Lies (1994) Apollo 13 (1995) Twister (1996) Titanic (1997) A Simple Plan (1998) Big Love (2006-2011) Hatfields and McCoys (2012) Haywire (2012) Edge of Tomorrow (2014) And Nightcrawler (2014) Out of all the actors that James Cameron collaborated, Bill Paxton has appeared in 4 of Cameron's films
It’s seriously criminal that Michael Biehn didn’t become a bigger star. He oozed quality and class with his performances as Kyle Reese, Hicks and Lt Coffey. I would love it if James Cameron cast him for his Avatar sequels.
@@drivingintothedesertuntilt3202 Not at all, he was never a huge star even back when he was doing all the big budget flicks because being a big star entails partaking on a game he had no interest in playing. You can tell by the fact he is more well connected than the majority of his peers and not once leveraged that to get him any roles. Also he's a father of five and made the conscious decision to be there for his family instead of being away for half the year shooting God knows what.
Micheal Biehn-in all fairness-lacks the mega star charisma hence he and Bill Paxton were always character actors. Talented, interesting performers though but neither of them were exactly marquee stars. Micheal Biehn later joined the Star Wars franchise.
Alien and Aliens are 2 of the greatest films ever made. Sigourney Weaver an amazing actress and Ripley is a genuine female hero who commands the respect of both men and women.
Ryan Gettig He really did. It's so funny, I actually have a signed autograph by the actor who played Gorman - It says, "you always were an arsehole…Good luck, William Hope".
Yes he was great and game over man and got speed Bill REST In Peace ✌️ Sir and it’s the Police Officer 👮♀️from Terminator with Bill Paxton and the great 👍 Arnold Schwarzenegger
Janette Goldstein as Vasquez wasn't using her real accent in Aliens, she put it on to sound like a Mexican or Latin American, probably imitating her mother's voice, that's why it was so convincing, even though the role wasn't about acting, it goes to show the quality that was put into making the film, I actually like Aliens far more that Alien, James Cameron has a knack of making sequels that surpasses the initial film of the franchise
Why have I only just found this. I’m a 40 yr old normal ish guy and seeing Bill walk out put a little tear in my eyes. Rest in peace Bill mate, thank you soo much for helping make my favourite ever film. Wish I was there at this event how epic to see these guys together
When they announced Bill Paxton he should have said "and next up, the only man to have been killed by an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator....BILL PAXTON!!!"
Such a great reunion panel of one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn and Lance Henriksen were my favorites in the cast; their characters really blended well together as a team.
Fun fact: all three actors were in the original Terminator movie. Jeanette Goldstein was in T2 and Biehn appeared through archived video from Terminator. Also, Goldstein, Paxton and Henriksen were in the movie Near Dark as a group of vampires. A fine group of talented actors.
Bill’s line to Burke - ‘F***, he’s dead, you’re dog meat pal!’ cracks me everytime, every single time. 😂 Easily one of the finest cast ensemble in a masterpiece sci-fi action movie ever. Can’t wait for a sequel with this cast if at all possible.
Agreed,Devon,Near dark scared the hell outta me!Watched One False Move again last nite and I think it's "way up there" in Bill Paxton's' filmography!Carl Franklin also did Devil in A Blue Dress w/Denzel&Don Cheadle:)
Lovely to see Sigourney's kind words to Michael Biehn just after the 23 minute mark. A class lady, recognising a very underrated actor. Here's hoping they get together for another Alien movie very soon! :)
Sigourney confirmed on another Aliens panel video that her and Michael are doing Alien 5 after she's finished her work on Avatar. but things change so who knows.
@@LukeLovesRose Well... we now know it pretty much was a failure, for all intents and purposes, and that Aliens 5 is cancelled and will now never happen. It's one of the biggest letdowns in film/sci-fi ever, IMO.
Saw it when it 1st came out too wondering what kind of person would make a sequel to a classic. Cameron was the new hot kid coming off his surprise hit "The Terminator". I was still wondering if was stupid, arrogant or both, but he killed it. I like "Aliens" more than "Alien".
30 years old and nothing has come close to the perfection in all aspects of Aliens, and proves that practical effects are much much better than cgi because it's all really there in front of the camera and has a visual truth that you can't just phoney up with computers
I saw this movie so many times and each time it's like the first time ! I will never be bored to watch this movie again and again. Bill Paxton rest in peace...😭😭
So sad that less than a year later Bill Paxton would be dead. Hope he knew how goddamn awesome he was, every single time I see him in a film he's brilliant.
Cameron says the scene where Bishop does the knife trick with Hudson’s hand was not sped up. Sorry, but it clearly is. You can see the slight but rapid movements of people in the background on the mid-shot of everyone!
I always was sure it was sped up. It clearly looked inhumanly fast. That was the point of the shot. Was shocked now to hear Jim say it was real time. Unbelievable. But would he really lie? I'm confused.
I remember seeing this in the theater during the summer of 1986 when I was 14. Jesus how time flies. Seeing Aliens in 86 then Predator summer of 87... two iconic sci fi films... it was a great time to be a teenager.
I share in Michael Biehn's frustration with Aliens 3. One of the best things about Aliens was the romantic relationship that had slowly but surely built up between Hicks and Ripley, which culiminated in the Director's Cut scene where they spoke each other's first names to each other just before she saves Newt from the Alien Queen. It was a very touching connection that the characters had, without being in your face. Aliens 3 just spat in the face of Hicks and Newt. Totally ridiculous. Aliens 3 had none of the cast chemistry or charisma that Aliens had.
It also had a cast of characters who I couldn't care less about for being slaughtered. It was a prison planet for christ's sake full of rapists and murderers! To be honest, the Dog Alien was doing a good deed killing them all. Alien 3 is just trash all round.
100% agreed. It's one of the dullest films to watch. Charles S. Dutton was probably the only convincing cast member. Everyone else was either bland or played a complete asshole. It's better to think of Alien 3 as some bizarre "what if" scenario. I usually support films for exploring psychological damage, but in the words of James Cameron, this whole movie felt like "a slap in the face."
+iluvlafferty have any of you read William Gibson's script for Alien 3? Hicks would've taken top billing and Bishop would've been like the partner character with a good send off for Newt. It had some gory horrific stuff in it but it would've miles better than what we got
Also, I don't care about what anyone else says, as I totally agree with James Cameron's POV of Alien 3. Killing off Newt and Hicks was a cheap trick, a careless way to sidetrack the audience of all the investment they'd had in appreciating the family dynamic of those characters with Ripley in Aliens. It was terrible. Yes, I know: Aliens 3 was SUPPOSED to be bleak. Whatever. But in my opinion, it still ruins the character development and relationships of the sequel. The characters of Alien 3 were bland and unsympathetic in comparison to the marines and the little girl. You can always tell how mad Michael Biehn and Carrie Henn are when asked about it. Just listen to the DVD commentary of Aliens where they talk about it. Jim Cameron is very honest that he knows it disregards the investment of the audience and that he wouldn't have made the same decision as David Fincher.
HE1NZ Fincher had the most authority as the director of Alien 3. The director controls everything. He had the choice to opt out if the studio were putting pressure on him. The movie had terrible preparation; it had a bundle of rewrites & scriptwriter changes. The tone is depressing, Ripley is a mess, everything set up in 'Aliens' comes to nothing.
I think Alien 3 only gets some praise because David Fincher wen't on to become a great director, and fans of the Alien series who preferred Alien to Aliens may have liked the return to the similar tone that the first film had, regardless I feel Alien 3 was a huge step back. I personally find it to be a decently made(side from some dodgy effects)/acted film, but I still hate the direction it wen't since I personally loved where Aliens left off after Alien.
It's difficult to opt out when you're done shooting most of the movie already. Just ask Josh Trank. He had _tons_ of control on Fant-four-stic, amiright? (sarcasm). lol Richard Donner was replaced for Supes 2, but the finished product still wasn't what he intended. Maybe Fincher preferred going down with the ship, instead of relinquishing his control entirely, or maybe he was just too inexperienced to call it quits. Who knows?
Such a perfect cast and you can still feel the chemistry between them 30 years later! I love how much fun Bill Paxton is having and is genuinely so thankful for being able to play that character. Everyone should listen to the cast commentary from the blu ray, it's hilarious!
This is one of my favorite vids ever put on TH-cam. I wasn't expecting Henn. It was sooo cool that they invited her. Films That Rock, THANK YOU for putting the entire thing on!
No kidding. Does anyone even know what happened to the rabid boy in The Road Warrior? No. No one cares unfortunately. BUT people still love Newt, Hicks and Ripley.
I was at the con and definitely regret missing this panel. Thank You so much for posting it in its entirety. The movie is a true classic, and perhaps the greatest sequel of all time. It's actually easy to understand why. The writing and directing are terrific, and it has an amazing cast. It will continue to be enjoyed by audiences for the next 30+ years as well.
That was awesome. Alien and Aliens turned Sigourney into a legendary actor, along with Ghostbusters of course. It was cool to see them all after so long. Great video.
The introduction guy did a horrible job. He starts with introduction of another actor, while first presented one didn't even seat. That's disrespectful and amateurish.
Bill always looks like he's having a blast at these, I love it. Also, really sad to hear what sounded like a promising Aliens 5 go down the tubes. Now we'll literally never have a true Aliens sequel worthy of the characters.
Watching this right now makes me happy and sad at the same time. Because the film is so pivotal to me, but then I see Bill and remember he was taken from us way too early.
Yeah it's a shame, and no William Hope (Gorman) either. But Jenette Goldstein did appear in a lot of the DVD special features for the Alien: Anthology.
"Hudson!... HUDSON. ...This little girl survived for longer than that with no weapons and no training. Right?" "What, you put her in charge?!" "You'd better just start dealing with it, Hudson! Listen to me!... Hudson, just deal with it because we need you and I'm sick of your bullshit."
I'm so sad that I didn't had the chance to see live all these wonderful and lovable people that brought so much joy and entertainment in my younger years, due to the fact that almost nobody brings these people in the eastern Europe, at least where I'm from. It would've been such a great joy to see them and hear them. When Bill Paxton died, a part of my youth went along with him. God rest his soul!
Fantastic crew and fantastic chemistry between. Now I get it how all characters in Aliens are believable. And that is part of James Cameroon talent - he had given roles to actors based on their real personality, character and behavior.
Are you kidding me! I can't believe that was actually Lance in real time with the hand/knife scene. This video is awesome! I met Lance at a Fangoria convention years ago in NYC during an Alien 3 promo and he was such a cool guy to his fans.
My favourite film of all time. It's so good seeing all these amazing actors and James Cameron in one place. Filmed in my country at pinewood studios it set the benchmark for following alien type films. Stood the test of time and would still look fresh if released today even without CGI. Hicks and Hudson and Ripley were awesome character's. favourite lines " assholes and elbows Hudson come here" "Every meals a banquet every pay check a fortune man I love the core" " All I need to know is where they are" "we're on an express elevator to hell, going down" " I say we bug out and call it even" Happy days.
I'm a Naval Aviation veteran and a retired civilian Airline transport Pilot. I Love top Gun and the long-over-due TG II ... but Aliens is BY FAR the best sequel I've Ever seen ... bar none. Easily in my top ten movies of all time. Game Over, Man ! ^v^

Bill didn't die, he just went home
bill either got fisted by a Terminator or got sucked by a tornado
Private Hudson was the greatest character in Aliens. Great actor. Great person.
Yes he did go home maybe a tornado or terminator rip bill you were one of my idols great actor and human being 😢😣🎥
I really liked his character in true lies
Michael Biehn is an underrated actor. He brings a physical dimension to all of his roles that really brings his characters to life.
Stay frosty...
A lot of actors can do big over the top crazy, but few can do quiet slow burning crazy like Biehn.
Great actor, the studio apparentely lobbied him for an academy award nomination for The Abyss. Loved him as Kyle Reece and ofcourse Hicks
@@JeVoudrais12 I believe you are right, but I think it is safe to say he was definitely pigeon holed at some point but Tombstone seemed to kinda pull him out of that, but I think his drinking had become an issue by that point.

He was hot as hell in this and in The Terminator. For me one of *the* actors of the 80s.
Is he underrated? He used to act in a big films.
Bill had the most energy of anyone on stage. Crazy to think 7 months later he was gone.
RIP Bill Paxton🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Yeah, and not only that but he looked great and gracefully aged. Fucking sucks dude, life is so fragile. Remember to tell the people you love that you do often peeps! R.I.P Mr Paxton.

So good to know. If only Bill got so lucky.

He was gonna play Miles Quaritch in Avatar, but Cameron decide that one actor from Aliens was enough.

I don’t think so, he’s had his days in the sun, the fact he can look back with pride and see what a big part he was of it will satisfy him.

Can't believe this is thirty years old it still holds up remarkably well today.
Just compare it to the stuff that comes out today. Will we be watching that stuff in 30 years time and thinking it holds up?
In the words of Shia Labeouf: "No.. no.. no no nonononono!"
brian0918 Exactly!
Some current stuff today will hold up.
Thank Sid Meade the futurist consultant every thing the guy touched was magical, he also did Blade Runner.
Alien and Aliens are 2 of the greatest films ever made. Sigourney Weaver an amazing actress and Ripley is a genuine female hero who commands the respect of both men and women.
--"where's vasquez?!! where's vasquez!?"
You always were an arsehole…Gorman.
He redeemed himself sending his team on and going back for Vasquez(he wasn't coming back!)
Ryan Gettig He really did. It's so funny, I actually have a signed autograph by the actor who played Gorman - It says, "you always were an arsehole…Good luck, William Hope".
Wierzbowski?
The sarge is gone lets get the fuck outta here.
For me personally, the best lines ever are:
Hudson: "Hey Vasquez have you ever been mistaken for a man?"
Vasquez: "No... Have you?"
still a shell-shock 34 years later LMAO
Yes agree
Badass character played by the great Jenette Goldstein.
Aliens (Alien 2) is my fav Alien movie still to this day
Bill was always happy doing these panels for Aliens..good to see him enjoying this one too, it was the last one he did. RIP
Lol James Cameron still pissed about Hick's death in Alien 3.
Hell I"M still pissed about it!
I still am too
Third films always seem to spoil Cameron's endings.
Even "Terminator: Rise of the Machines" ruins the thought that one can change the future.
Most people "on Planet" are still pissed about that,David Fincher's aesthetic aside....
Ryan Gettig
Well that is certainly a diplomatic way of putting it! :-)
RIP Bill...... He was so happy throughout all of this video!!!!! Anything he did he made iconic no matter how small the role.
I'm here for Bill. Rest In Peace, man. Love you, dude.
Same here. A true loss :(
God Bless Him,Now&Forever!!:)
The man was a legend.
Yes he was great and game over man and got speed Bill REST In Peace ✌️ Sir and it’s the Police Officer 👮♀️from Terminator with Bill Paxton and the great 👍 Arnold Schwarzenegger

He was a party animal, and he looks so fun to hang out with.
He burnt out, but he burned brightly.
@@drewlovelyhell4892 He always reminded me of a grown up Bart Simpson if that makes any sense.
Hear, hear.
R.I.P. Bill Paxton, John Hurt, Al Matthews, Harry Dean Stanton, Ian Holm, Balaji Badejo (first Alien film), Ron Cobb, Stan Winston etc.
When they announced Bill Paxton he should have said "and next up, the only man to have been killed by an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator....BILL PAXTON!!!"
Also, he was turned into a pile of crap by a hot chick (Weird Science)
He survived Terminator grill ramming, no telling he was dead....
Killed by Phil Coulson, director of Shield too.
ken bibi erm Bill Paxton played the punk who got his heart ripped out by the terminator in the 1st film.
Pretty sure his character died in that scene.
degree7 no it was Bill Paxton

One False Move!!

Bill Paxton crime thriller from '92-check it out,it's brilliant!
+Ryan Gettig 1 of many best Also Near Dark with Cameron's ex Kathryn Bigelow.
Agreed,Devon,Near dark scared the hell outta me!Watched One False Move again last nite and I think it's "way up there" in Bill Paxton's' filmography!Carl Franklin also did Devil in A Blue Dress w/Denzel&Don Cheadle:)

I never forget that scene in the rock in the showers. He really was amazing.
Sigourney confirmed on another Aliens panel video that her and Michael are doing Alien 5 after she's finished her work on Avatar. but things change so who knows.
Sounds hot.
We'll see. It's in hiatus at the moment. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Alien: Covenant isn't a major failure.

What an awesome reunion! I seen Aliens in the theater when it came out. Cant believe that was 30 years ago.
Saw in the cinema too,and I totally believe it was 30,but then it's not the years it's the mileage....
Saw it when it 1st came out too wondering what kind of person would make a sequel to a classic. Cameron was the new hot kid coming off his surprise hit "The Terminator". I was still wondering if was stupid, arrogant or both, but he killed it. I like "Aliens" more than "Alien".
I even remember the day - I saw it July 27th 1986. That's how memorable the movie was for me.
30 years old and nothing has come close to the perfection in all aspects of Aliens, and proves that practical effects are much much better than cgi because it's all really there in front of the camera and has a visual truth that you can't just phoney up with computers
I wish I had seen it when it first came out. Yes, I was around then. Just didn't have the opportunity then.
"You never said anything about an android being on this panel, why not!?"
Thanks for uploading!
Sigourney has such a distinctive voice, it's so cool.
A group of truly talented people, who created a masterpiece, and left a legacy; rip Bill Paxton.
I saw this movie so many times and each time it's like the first time ! I will never be bored to watch this movie again and again.
Bill Paxton rest in peace...😭😭
I agree Janette Goldstein aka Vasquez should been there or at least mentioned!
“Game over man! Game over!!!! “
I love valve so much for letting Cortana quote aliens.
Watching Bill Paxton here is heartbreaking... RIP
Very sad about Bill untimely demise. The camera always loved everything he did. This is an awesome panel discussion. Great seeing them all together.
So sad that less than a year later Bill Paxton would be dead. Hope he knew how goddamn awesome he was, every single time I see him in a film he's brilliant.
1 of my funniest moments on Aliens
"Hey Vasquez have you ever been mistaken for a man... Vasqeuz: "No ,Have you??" lmao
Suprised JG wasn't in the lineup.
All these years later... if someone even mentions the movie.. i NEED to watch it.
Bill Paxton looked like the friendliest and happiest guy. RIP, Legend!
Aliens 1986, my favorite movie.. wonderful to see everybody here! Be well, Bill Paxton, whereever you are; you rocked the role of Hudson.
Cameron says the scene where Bishop does the knife trick with Hudson’s hand was not sped up. Sorry, but it clearly is. You can see the slight but rapid movements of people in the background on the mid-shot of everyone!
I think the master shot is sped up, but he's saying that the close up shot of Lance moving the knife over his and Bill's hand is real time.
All the Legends are true! xD
HailAnts I don't think so; to me it looks sped up in close-up too.
probably sarcasm because it is way obvious...
I always was sure it was sped up. It clearly looked inhumanly fast. That was the point of the shot. Was shocked now to hear Jim say it was real time. Unbelievable. But would he really lie? I'm confused.
One of my all time favorite sci-fi movies. Just can't believe it's been 30 years since I first saw it... Surely has to watch it again tonight:)

The movie had terrible preparation; it had a bundle of rewrites & scriptwriter changes. The tone is depressing, Ripley is a mess, everything set up in 'Aliens' comes to nothing.
I think Alien 3 only gets some praise because David Fincher wen't on to become a great director, and fans of the Alien series who preferred Alien to Aliens may have liked the return to the similar tone that the first film had, regardless I feel Alien 3 was a huge step back. I personally find it to be a decently made(side from some dodgy effects)/acted film, but I still hate the direction it wen't since I personally loved where Aliens left off after Alien.
It's difficult to opt out when you're done shooting most of the movie already. Just ask Josh Trank. He had _tons_ of control on Fant-four-stic, amiright? (sarcasm). lol Richard Donner was replaced for Supes 2, but the finished product still wasn't what he intended. Maybe Fincher preferred going down with the ship, instead of relinquishing his control entirely, or maybe he was just too inexperienced to call it quits. Who knows?
At Least David Fincher himself admits Aliens 3 was a train wreck that takes guts to admit that I'm sure no other director would be honest about it
RIP Bill
You were the ultimate badass
Such a perfect cast and you can still feel the chemistry between them 30 years later! I love how much fun Bill Paxton is having and is genuinely so thankful for being able to play that character. Everyone should listen to the cast commentary from the blu ray, it's hilarious!
John Carpenter should do this with the gang from "The Thing."
winston smith I'd buy that for a dollar!
If you haven't yet you should watch the movie with commentary by Kurt and John.
You gotta be fucking kidding
Palmer
Agreed! He'd better do it soon if he does, we've already lost Copper, Gary and Norris :(
I think Paul Reiser did a brilliant job playing Burke. He is a bad/evil executive but he didn't go over the top, I found his character believable.
Bill you were the best side role actor.
This is one of my favorite vids ever put on TH-cam. I wasn't expecting Henn. It was sooo cool that they invited her. Films That Rock, THANK YOU for putting the entire thing on!
They did a similar thing a few years ago. "Aliens Exposed Calgary"
I'll look 4 it.
That's hilarious. 4th graders can be very scary.
No kidding. Does anyone even know what happened to the rabid boy in The Road Warrior? No. No one cares unfortunately. BUT people still love Newt, Hicks and Ripley.
I was at the con and definitely regret missing this panel. Thank You so much for posting it in its entirety. The movie is a true classic, and perhaps the greatest sequel of all time. It's actually easy to understand why. The writing and directing are terrific, and it has an amazing cast. It will continue to be enjoyed by audiences for the next 30+ years as well.
It hurts to watch this now that Bill Paxton's gone... farewell, Hudson. State of the badass art, forever!
Michael Biehn deserves a bigger hand, dorks.
Ham Tyler shame on them.
Holy shit, Burke, what an underrated performance
That was awesome. Alien and Aliens turned Sigourney into a legendary actor, along with Ghostbusters of course. It was cool to see them all after so long. Great video.
This was probably my favorite panel from Comic Con this year. Happy 30th, Aliens.
one of the best sci fi movies ever made..perhaps the best. love it still
It really bums me out that Bill Paxton is no longer with us. Such a massive loss. On another note, its great to see most of the cast at this panel.
I don't buy that the knife trick wasn't speeded up… it clearly was because the people in the background start to move at hyper speed too.
Yeah it was very obvious too.
indeed...
Ethan John Nobody told any jokes....
You have some issues dude.
Say I-I-I I want the knife….. please.
+Ethan John as oppose to those talking complete bollocks?
Been waiting all day for an upload, thanks!
man it's so awesome to know there's still so many faithful ALIENS fans after all these years
Sigourney still looks Hot even if she is 66 years old. Pray everyday to see in less than 2/3 years Alien 5... with Repley holding a bazooka!
Definitely. She gets better with age and it doesn't hurt that she has such a beautiful energy/disposition.
"Repley" my favourite b tec alien clone
She was even a badass in "Paul" lol
??? What the hell are you talking about ???
Bill is exactly the guy I would go on a beer or two.Just look at him .God damn it
Bishop is my favorite character. He wasn't asked any questions...
The introduction guy did a horrible job. He starts with introduction of another actor, while first presented one didn't even seat. That's disrespectful and amateurish.
Bill always looks like he's having a blast at these, I love it.
Also, really sad to hear what sounded like a promising Aliens 5 go down the tubes. Now we'll literally never have a true Aliens sequel worthy of the characters.
I should get to a ComicCon before I die. I'm 71 now. Better get movin' on that one.
Michael Biehn forever!
God bless you, Bill Paxton.
Rest In Peace.
Watching this right now makes me happy and sad at the same time. Because the film is so pivotal to me, but then I see Bill and remember he was taken from us way too early.
Had such a mad crush on Michael Biehn back then. Terminator, then Aliens. Love seeing this reunion. :)
No Vasquez :(
Yeah it's a shame, and no William Hope (Gorman) either. But Jenette Goldstein did appear in a lot of the DVD special features for the Alien: Anthology.
Jeannette Goldstein may not had been able to appear due to work schedule and acting commitments.
+Viv Written wierzbowski.....WIERZBOWSKI....
....the genius writing of Aliens in that even small characters,Ferro"We're in the pipe 5x5..,Frodt"What the hell are suppose to use,harsh language?"
Wierzbowski.
The best film i have ever seen at the cinema the audience went nuts
RIP Bill Paxton. Legendary film. Legendary actors.
Cameron said he usually doesn't like to attend conventions, he made an exception for this 30 year anniversary event.
Public proposals are a social abomination.
He made it about him, and not her.
It's so funny. They all sit down and then stand when the next name is announced then sit back only to get up again.
"Hudson!... HUDSON. ...This little girl survived for longer than that with no weapons and no training. Right?"
"What, you put her in charge?!"
"You'd better just start dealing with it, Hudson! Listen to me!... Hudson, just deal with it because we need you and I'm sick of your bullshit."
Fantastic! Really enjoyed this :) *Watches Aliens again for the hundredth time*
bill paxton's reenactment of Burke's death just hilarious 😂 what a legend
I'm so sad that I didn't had the chance to see live all these wonderful and lovable people that brought so much joy and entertainment in my younger years, due to the fact that almost nobody brings these people in the eastern Europe, at least where I'm from. It would've been such a great joy to see them and hear them. When Bill Paxton died, a part of my youth went along with him. God rest his soul!
23:00 Holy shit, he went there. Brilliant
Hard to believe about 6 months after this it was "Game Over" for Mr. Paxton.....RIP.
Fantastic crew and fantastic chemistry between. Now I get it how all characters in Aliens are believable. And that is part of James Cameroon talent - he had given roles to actors based on their real personality, character and behavior.
One of my ALL TIME favorite movies!
Carrie Henn should have responded to one of the questions with “Affirmative.” 🤣😂
Word to The Late Great Mr Bill Paxton. Rest in peace. Brought a little light into my life 😔
this is by far the best thing that has come out of comic con this year.
Been looking for a full upload, thanks!!!
Are you kidding me! I can't believe that was actually Lance in real time with the hand/knife scene. This video is awesome! I met Lance at a Fangoria convention years ago in NYC during an Alien 3 promo and he was such a cool guy to his fans.
My favourite film of all time. It's so good seeing all these amazing actors and James Cameron in one place. Filmed in my country at pinewood studios it set the benchmark for following alien type films. Stood the test of time and would still look fresh if released today even without CGI. Hicks and Hudson and Ripley were awesome character's. favourite lines " assholes and elbows Hudson come here" "Every meals a banquet every pay check a fortune man I love the core" " All I need to know is where they are" "we're on an express elevator to hell, going down" " I say we bug out and call it even" Happy days.
''''Let's nuke 'em, it's the only way to be sure....''
Hicks was such a chill, zen guy in all the craziness.
I saw this in the cinema when it first came out. A superb film, I was mesmerised watching it.
The fact the effects in film still looks so good today is very much a result of Jim Cameron’s knowledge and judgement with what they did.
Good old fashioned practical effects.
52:40 Bishop: - "OMG, here it comes again... please Hicks... please..."
Lance is cool!!
I'm a Naval Aviation veteran and a retired civilian Airline transport Pilot. I Love top Gun and the long-over-due TG II ... but Aliens is BY FAR the best sequel I've Ever seen ... bar none. Easily in my top ten movies of all time. Game Over, Man ! ^v^
