Paul Reiser (Burke) took his mother to the Aliens premier. When Burke died she cheered.
As an actor I think that's the best compliment from a family member 😂
My father refused to watch the first season of his sitcom because of his portrayal in this.
🤣🤣🤣
I heard she told him he deserved to die. 😂
A comic has just been released "What If...Burke Hadn't Died" co-written by Reiser himself. I thought it was a one-off but it was just the first issue. :P
Ripley emerges in the power loader.
"I hope she says something awesome right now..."
*Me grinning ear to ear*
"Bay 12, please..."
SAME
Where you want it?
"WOKE" movie
@@NateWhitehorse lol
I love the part where Riley descends to the lower level to find Newt. Without saying a word, she conveyed utter fear, yet she overrode that fear to go get her little girl. SW earned that Oscar nomination for this role.
Great review! Subscribed!
*Ripley
That alien nest was Ellen Ripley’s worst nightmare.
And we are talking about a woman with some serious nightmares!
Fun fact, they had to keep reshooting the scene with the little girl sliding down the chute because she kept laughing instead of screaming. After they got the shot, they let her keep playing on it.
Apparently Carrie henn fubbed the take on purpose until cameron promised if she did one good take she could play on the slide all day. So she did
Lol
After realizing a multi million dollar project was being held hostage by an 8 year old, Cameron walked away mumbling something about being warned to never work with kids or animals.
Later, figuring he'd concurred that obstacle, he decided that working in water couldn't be that complicated.
@@crwydryny
Yep.
It's fun alright, can I go now?
Hudson's character arc is great. Cocky meathead to panicked mess and then goes down fighting like a hero.
Hudson is a great cowardly characters of cinema. He is pure bravado (I love his 'ultimate baddass' brag in the director's cut) that falls apart when the situation turns dire (Game over man!) and turns it around to die buying time for the others to escape. RIP to Hudson and Bill Paxton.
Most of the characters I've seen Bill Paxton played are either whiny cowards or punks.
bill Paxton was in the terminator (punk killed in the beginning "cans short of a six pack line) predator 2 and aliens
@@panowa8319 Try Frailty. Bill directs and his performance is chilling.
God bless Bill Paxton. I always wondered if he put on his tombstone, "Game over, man."
Gorman had the best redemption Arc, him and Vasquez went out like OG”S!!!!
Vasquez gave one of the sickest burns in cinematic history. 🔥
Truly epic ! 😂
It was foreshadowing as well... R.I.P Vasquez!
Yep, "No. Have you?" RIP Bill "Hudson sir, that's Hicks" Paxton, but he did walk into that one.
Absolutely!!!
Jenette Goldstein is described as a chameleon. After the Jewish actress played the Latino, Vasquez, in Aliens, Director James Cameron cast her as John Conner's foster mother Janelle in T2 as well as an Irish mother in Titanic.
"Aliens" has aged like fine wine. I saw it in theaters when I was a kid and it still kicks ass! Peak James Cameron!
And "klicks" stands for kilometres.
I was a little surprised that a Canadian didn't know what a klick was!
Cheers for that mate, i didn't know that.
"Woke" movie. Totally unbelievable
BS@@NateWhitehorse
@@NateWhitehorse What the hell are you talking about?
"This guy knows how to impress a lady."
Accurate! Hicks is such an amazing character. His concerns and respect for Ripley are genuine, he listens to her input rather than patronize or gaslight, and he knows she can take care of herself but will run to her defense when absolutely necessary. That scene when he shows Ripley how to use the pulse rifle? He didn't have to do so, but that little training definitely helped Ripley later on in the film.
**Gives her the tracker**
"It doesn't mean we're married or anything..."
Always loved that line for them...
Also gave them one more troop. And they needed all the firepower they could get.
When all else fails.. show her your rifle
My father and I were avid Alien fans, but especially Aliens. We watched this movie together so many times. He passed away a few weeks ago. Have some tears in my eyes during this reaction. Thanks for the upload.❤
May he rest in peace 😢
I know how you feel, I lost my Dad to Covid 2 years ago. Still broken hearted.
So sorry your your loss 💔
Paul Reiser, the actor who played Burke (resident corpo douchebag) said even his own mother was happy when he died in this movie.
Now that's a good villain.
It was so weird, watching this movie for the first time after having grown up with Mad About You.
I love him on Stranger Things now
Theres a deleted scene that shows burke cocooned near the egg chamber and ripley gives him a grenade that he then sets off later and can be heard but the scene was subsequently removed.
And tell me we all weren't waiting for him to be a villain in Stranger Things?
Apparently his sister punched him while watching the movie with him for what his character did to Riley. As for his mother, when his character died, she whispered one word: “Good.”
Aliens is one of the greatest sequels of all time, and James Camerons' best film.
Yeah better than T2 no matter how many articles say otherwise
Yes, yes it is!!❤❤❤
I agree with it being the better movie than T2 but T2 is more relevant right now with the recent advancements in AI. Let's wait til we find some alien lifeforms I guess. xD
BTW Aliens is my favourite movie of all time. No competition. When I haven't watched it in a while I think it's silly to name it my favourite movie but when I see it again... nothing compares.
@@AR_112 T2 is better but only by a hair
Michael Biehn, who plays Hicks, was also Kyle Reese in The Terminator. Lance Henriksen (Bishop), and Bill Paxton (Hudson) were also in Terminator.
Michael Biehn also got bitten on the hand in both movies.
Some people say that Bill Paxton is the only person to be killed by an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator. To that I say go ask Lance Hendrickson how he feels about that. Not throwing shade at Bill. I still miss that man to this day. Truly one of the greats taken from us to soon. Rest in peace you ultimate badass.
Without looking it up, who was in T2 And Aliens??
@@Robusphere
Vazquez
@@eddiejravannen We NEED to get Jenette Goldstein in Predator movie so she can join Bill and Lance in the Sci-Horror Trifecta club.
What I really love about this film is how effortlessly heroic everyone is (besides Burke!), as in even Gorman and Hudson show their mettle in the end. They all just step up, act smart, and cover each other. Plus the small nuances, like how OTT Hudson is killing that facehugger with so many bullets, but Vasques is super efficient and controlled... so good!
Her scream when losing Newt always sent chills 😫 Probably one of the best heart felt "Mom Screams" in Hollywood
”Milky little fellow...” Probably the best name for Bishop I've ever heard.
Fr 😂
Some fun facts: as others have noted, the Alien Queen *is* an all-practical effects giant puppet, but the Power Loader was *also* a puppet: there was a puppeteer (a giant muscle-builder type, by Sigourney Weaver's description) that was behind the harness/seat that Ripley straps into, kind of built into the Loader's frame. They had to practice choreographing their movements together between takes to make everything look seamless. So the final fight is basically giant puppet on giant puppet action, all practical effects.
The mostly British film crew (many of whom had worked on "Alien") thought that James Cameron was the *worst*, and hated working with him. Some of them thought he was ruining the good name of the first "Alien" film, to the point where Sigourney Weaver (who was much more well regarded on set) had to continually placate and cajole the film crew to stay on. To be fair to the Brits, Cameron is notoriously difficult to work with as a director.
The alien nests in the film were built and shot in an abandoned power station in England, and they didn't tear down the damaged-for-the-film set when they wrapped. So when the crew of the 1989 Batman film went to use the same power station for the Axis Chemicals set, they cracked open the doors on an alien nest that had been moldering in place for 3 years... the Batman people said it was creepy and incredibly gross, and they left some of the Aliens grossness in their rebuild of the set into a filthy chemical plant.
Paul Reiser does such a good job at playing a scummy villain that his own mother cheered Burke's death at the premiere (while sitting right next to Mr. Reiser).
Sigourney Weaver's performance in "Aliens" was her first Best Actress Oscar nomination, and a milestone first ever Best Actress nomination for a sci-fi or action film.
Michael Biehn (Hicks) gets bitten by someone in every James Cameron movie he's in.
This is Carrie Henn's (Newt) only film credit.
From James Horner's soundtrack, the cue where the Alien Queen is revealed before the final fight is titled "Queen Takes Bishop," which is just top-shelf work from Horner.
The Extended Director's Cut version of the movie is definitely worth a watch (especially since you enjoyed the Theatrical Cut) because it adds a lot of background stuff that really enhances the themes of the movie but had to be cut for time.
Also please don't watch Alien 3 or Alien: Resurrection.
All true and great advice
cameron had tried to have a showing of terminator so the crew would know he did know what he was doing but nobody came to it. and yeah hes hard to work with but he didnt respect how ingrained tea breaks are thinking its a waste of time when work could be done instead. netflix has a awesome making of aliens on it.
Give it a couple of years and Alien 3 is ok to watch. It has none of the sparkle the first 2 have but its not a terrible film if you want a new Alien experience in your life.
I always recommended the books as some of the stories.....especially the Alien Vs Preadator ones.....are amazing
@@Tommy-he7dx It would be a great entry in the franchise if the Ripley character wasn't in it, and we were just seeing new set of characters deal with a xenomorph. Alien 3 just wrecks Ripley's character arc, which has the perfect ending in Aliens. It's a deeply atmospheric horror movie that fits the themes of the franchise, it's just that the wrong lead character is in it. Some of the books are pretty good, as are some of the old Dark Horse comics before they created the post-Prometheus "canon."
@@brakyeller THE problem with Alien 3 is Fox trying to turn the Alien franchise into a cash cow. They'd released a teaser trailer and set a release date before they had a cast, director, script, or even a writer, so every single decision was made with the release date hanging over it like the Sword of Damocles. A dozen writers were working on scripts concurrently, often with no idea other writers were attached, the final script was a mishmash of many of those and was not complete when filming started. Fox had hired Vincent Ward to direct and a script he had worked on, and started building sets for it, then questioned whether the basic premise worked in the Alien 'Verse. Indicating either that executives greenlit the script without reading it in full, or were fully aware of the problems and intended to browbeat Ward into into fixing them during production. Given how the executives treated David Fincher, I'm inclined to believe the latter.
Seriously, you could probably do a semester of film school on the Troubled Production of Alien 3. With all that, it's amazing the movie isn't an utterly unwatchable mess. Taken on its own, its a decent film, just has the bad luck to be following up Alien and Aliens.
"Have you ever been mistaken for a man?"
"No, have you?" 🤣😂Glad you kept that line in!
Rippley and Hicks got married, adopted Newt and lived happily ever after on Earth with kitty Jonesy as their pet. The end. There was never any other sequels after this. Dare you say anything about my headcanon? I EFFING dare you.
Also Bishop became Newt's tutor and was eventually made a Cardinal. Ripley liked to joke about the insane nightmares she had when they were all asleep on the return to earth; crazy dreams about crashing on a prison planet, dying and then being reborn hundreds of years in to future!
@@paulbrawley2595 "Also Bishop became Newt's tutor and was eventually made a Cardinal. " - LOL, that made me laugh! 🤣
Absolutely. No other sequels exist. This is the end. Everyone lives Happily Ever After.
Yes, that is the correct ending for this story.
I used to think this way too, but over time I've come to appreciate what Alien 3 could have been. The Ripley send off could have/should have closed her story.
So glad you included the little moment at 36:34, it's maybe one of my favorite bits of silent acting of all time. You can see, when Ripley closes her eyes and raises her head, that she's feeling all the fear of the moment. But once she's taken a second to accept and deal with the fear, she opens her eyes and clenches her jaw. She's pushed every ounce of fear aside and thoroughly iced her veins, so she can walk confidently into the very heart of terror and save Newt. It's absolutely incredible acting, obviously I'm the billionth to say it but Sigourney is without a doubt one of the very best of all time.
Great reaction!! Now you've gotta hit Terminator 2 -- y'know, the OTHER time James Cameron made a sequel to a modern masterpiece and ended up rewriting the entire action movie playbook in a way that's never stopped influencing other media, lol. I'm hoping you'll watch the extended edition, but that was true for Aliens as well. Either way, you're in for a ride and I'm excited to watch 😁
CGI can't replace great story telling and top notch practical special effects
Facts.
Nor can it replace actual props and hours of makeup.
I agree that practical fx are the best but even the cgi in modern Alien movies is pretty good. Alien 3 looks so bad now
Nonsense. Stop claiming all CG is bad because the tiny amount that really is bad stands out. The vast majority of CG is so good you don;t even see it.
@@RealBLAlley who claimed all CGI is bad?
No, it's all because of the "woke" characters, apparently.
Kat has the gall to say to Newt "Leave your creepy doll"! Poor Creepy-in-the-corner must feel devastated. That's the real horror of this reaction. Congrats on the Poppie. Love the Ripley shirt, Kat.
If Tom Hanks can have a bloody volleyball I think Newt can have a dolls head.
I loved when she says, "She doesn't have dreams because she's a piece of plastic." Just the way she delivers that line...
Who would’ve guessed that surviving murdering aliens would mature someone that fast
"Alright, we waste him. No offense." 😂 Gotta love Hicks.
9:47 As SOON as you said that donut was unfinished, I KNEW you were gonna say that it was the "real horror of this story" LOL Love it.
There is a rule for stories that goes something like, 'if a gun is shown in act one, it will be used in act three'. Sometimes that gun just happens to be a power loader.
Chekhov's Power Loader!
Chekov's gun
Or, in the case of The Lost Boys, Chekov's fence post.
But note the contrast between Aliens and Alien. Alien was done very "cinema verite" style, to the point where things that are important, like androids and the Company's bioweapons division, aren't mentioned until they become relevant to the plot; and unimportant things, like the damage to the Nostromo on landing, have significant time spent on them despite being irrelevant to the plot, only adding to the verisimilitude. Aliens sets up plot points like the power loader and knocks them down like dominoes. Not saying that one approach is superior to the other, just that there are times when you can break rules effectively.
@@erikbjelke4411 Absolutely agree. Still a good basic rule of thumb, but rules are made to be broken.
My favorite quote from this movie, which didn't make it into your editing process, was when Bill Paxton's character says, "Game over, man, game over!"
In a whiney voice...
I am more partially to "Well why don't you put her in charge" (whilst borderline sobbing 😆)@@jillfromatlanta427
my fav Paxton line
I only watch Directors cut... I didnt realize how many bits werent in theatrical version till reading comments..
Havent seen that version for a LONG Time... just keep watching directors cut..
GREAT line... he has a few bangeers in this one.
Given the year this came out, you have to appreciate the visual effects, and the fact its 99% practical and in-camera. No CGI here, and it keeps you immersed.
An ageless film
Fun fact: The actor who played Bishop (Lance Henrickson) got the part to make up for James Cameron going with Arnold Schwarzenegger instead of him as the Terminator. Cameron wanted him to be an android or cyborg and he was originally supposed to play as the Terminator, but they made him one of the police detectives instead.
I can't see Lance pulling off the Terminator though, so that's probably for the best.
@@DudditsXCIIThe original concept for The Terminator was a regular guy who'd blend in anywhere, then rip people apart with his bare hands.
That went out the window when Arnie, who was meant to play Reese, wanted to play the Terminator instead.
Take a look at Robert Patrick, resembles Lance a bit doesn't he?
That's no accident, T2 is practically a remake of the original pitch.
Lance would have played it just like Patrick, and it would've rocked. Arnie would've been Reese and that wouldn't have worked nearly as well as Michael Biehn.
@@sneeson ahhhh. Yea, thatd make sense for Lance.
@@DudditsXCII This movie is so WOKE. How can a girl and a woman survive and Marines die. Woke movie. MAGA
@@NateWhitehorse are you insane?
I will never forget seeing this in theaters. When Ripley says her iconic line,the crowd just erupts with applause. On another note, you earned a subscription after watching this reaction.
Have you watched _Paul_ ??
@@dancarter482 yup seen it several times,loved it.
@@MarkDemeo Great _Aliens_ homage at the end.
Really wish you didn’t cut best line. When Ripley tells Hudson this little girl survived alone and with no training Hudson says “Why don’t you put her in charge”. Love your channel.
My stomach hurts from laughing. Ripley to Newt: "You could just try to be like her (Casey, the doll's head)" Kat: "She's just a head!" 🤣🤣 This is the first Kat Watches Horror Movies video I've seen, but it won't be the last. Kat's comedic timing is excellent--as is her 1,000-watt smile. Sometimes the TH-cam algorithm gets it right.
Bill Paxton (Hudson) has the distinction of being killed by an alien, a terminator, and a predator. Jenette Goldstein was in Terminator 2 and Lance Henrikson was in The Terminator. All 3 were in the movie Near Dark.
Pretty sure the Terminator killed one of the other actors, not Bill Paxton.
Lance Henrikson also has this distinction. He was the Lieutenant's aide and dies when the Terminator shoots up the Police Precinct in the original film. He was killed by a Predator in the first Aliens vs Predator and was ripped in half by the Queen in this one.
Paxton was also killed by “Mimics” !
@@reptileodinson2750 Yes, the Terminator kills Brian Thompson's character.
Edit: Michael Biehn (Hicks) is also in The Terminator as Kyle Reese.
I saw this in the theater The Weeknd it opened. Everyone in the theater was stunned by its sheer brilliance.
This is how you write a compelling strong female character. Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor are two of the most iconic badass in movie history. They suffer, they learn, they go through hell and NEVER give up. Well written ( and brilliantly acted) characters... they are two of my childhood Heroes.
Hollywood doesn't make movies like this now. 😢
I absolutely agree. This is how you make a bad ass hero.
And yet nowaday they are forgotten, seeing many comments that the world never got strong female leads... and men cant handle female leads. These ladies killed it. They where the baddest of the baddest!
Mad Max: Fury Road
Crucially, Ripley is a real strong female character because she never sheds her femininity, she doesn't sacrifice it in order to kick ass, it isn't holding her back to be a mother above all else, on the contrary, it's what makes her strong in the first place
@@bittybaff3541 Actually the character of Ripley was written without a gender in mind. Both Sigourney Weaver and Tom Skerrit auditioned for the role. Ripley only became a woman when Sigourney Weaver was given the part.
Ripley had a daughter, Amanda, who was about 10 when she left for the job in the first movie. Amanda died in her 60's from cancer before Ripley woke back up in this movie. That's why she is so connected to Newt.
Klicks are 1km.
FUN FACTOID: The actor who plays the part of Pvt. Drake, is the same actor who played the role of inmate Boggs (Leader of "The Sisters") in The Shawshank Redemption. Also, the actor who plays the part of Pvt. Vasquez, is the same actor who plays the part of John Connor's foster mother in Terminator II.
Hudson, Hicks and Bishop were all in the first Terminator. James Cameron has actors he likes, and casts them often.
@@uncommon_niagara1581Hudson, Bishop and Vasquez were also in Near Dark, a great vampire movie directed by Kathryn Bigelow, James Cameron's ex-wife.
@@jthomann71So glad Kat watched one of the greatest sequels of all time,up there with the likes of TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY, GODFATHER 2, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.I just wish Kat had watched the SPECIAL EDITION VERSION of this film to get back stories on both Ripleys lost child and the colonists.By the way,Jeanette Goldstein who played Vasquez was John Connors step mother in TERMINATOR 2.I think she was in TITANIC as well.Bill Paxton was also in TITANIC too.
The guy that plays Hudson is the only actor whose characters have been killed by a xenomorph, a predator, and a terminator. The trifecta
@@jthomann71, gotta ask the question: does James Cameron marry and divorce people who are bound for success, or does marital relations with James Cameron impart some intrinsic qualities on his partners than then lead them to be successful?
Or is it all that exposure to blue light?
That is the best!! I'm so glad that there are absolutely NO MORE Alien films. Not a single one. That's it. Aliens finishes the story. Perfection. I can rest easy in the knowledge that there are NO MORE sequels.
Same!
Ripley is just iconic. That is how a strong female character should be written.
The last time I watched Aliens was with a friend of mine's daughters who finally got old enough/mature enough to "handle" the movie. Right after we watched it, we watched one of the Halloween episodes of Phineas and Ferb, and there's this line where one of the characters says "we have to nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure!" We both immediately started laughing hysterically. It was a wonderful bonding moment!
I always find it funny when people complain about no good female protagonists, when Ripley is probably one of the most, if not the most, likable hero character in all of cinema. Smart, in control, and capable. And not because of having some stupid male trait like brutish strength, but that willpower that produces tenacity, something I think is lost in modern movies where people are just effortlessly powerful, which makes for boring stories.
Well, why is it that whenever a GUY in a movie is a “bad ass” he typically gets called a “big, dumb, macho ape” or some such ting, but when a FEMALE character is basically the same kind of thing then she gets hailed as “strong, intelligent, powerful, resourceful, independent, groundbreaking, progressive” and the sort? Bit of a double standard there.
What? Ripley, Sarah Connor Beatrix Kiddo are all beloved characters; people just get annoyed with Mary Sue’s. And you just said that male traits were stupid, so why would you care about misogyny when you’re clearly a misandrist?
@@viceversar-do1cnBig, dumb, macho apes get called that when they are that. When they're strong, intelligent, resourceful, they're called that. You don't see women in movies who are big dumb macho apes, because our society doesn't accept them, but at least tolerates men like that. Vasquez here is as close to a macho ape as movie women usually get. Except she isn't dumb.
@@mikeydubbs8565 and not to mention any other final girls. Sidney Prescott, Laurie Strode, the final girl from Youre Next are damn strong
@@main9613 Hell, I’ll throw Hello Nurse from Animaniacs in there too! A woman who not only owns the shit out of her sexuality and gifted physical features, but doesn’t let that hold her back from her career accomplishments and intellectual persists? But ya know, a Catholic conservative like myself who loves and respects women might as well not exist in the eyes of a feminist
When Bishop says "It must be something we haven't seen yet", he's really talking to the audience 😁
"I hope "ALIENS" just means two."
Oh boy.
"Effective Guns but very Mid Tier plans..."
"Milky fellow."
Never change xD
I too thought that Ripley was wasting ammo on those eggs, but then I realized the eggs were still a threat. Momma alien could hatch those eggs and have a hundred face huggers chasing Ripley and Newt.
This was my favorite movie from age 5 on. I told my mom I wanted to be a space marine and was heartbroken the job didn’t exist. I had the power loader toy, the queen, definitely Ripley, the car... I probably had all the toys. This and Jurassic Park were probably the only movies my mom let us buy all of them.
Hicks was a very early crush. Seeing Terminator 2 cemented Michael Biehn as a crush, and not just the character. Tombstone continued the trend.
I haven't watched for at least a decade though. I still found I can quote most of it.
I consider this the ultimate mom power movie. You can't help but feel for the queen, even though you are on Ripley's team 100%.
I now need to watch it 5 more times to make up for lost time.
Yes, there is an Alien 3 and Alien 4, and I like them too. The styles keep jumping around among the various sequels too, about whether it's more slow creepy horror, or fast action kind of thing.
I have to say: I love this girl, and her enthusiam for killing bugs. Much respect ;)
"Keep a closer eye on him, Ripley...milky little fellow" You crack me up! 😂
23:13 Ripley learns in the extended version that her daughter died from old age. Making this scene quite more meaningful. Giving more reason for Ripley to take a motherly role for Nut.
Engaging (and oft-times amusing) commentary, along with excellent editing, made watching your review a pleasure. I'm now a subscriber. IMO...best line by Ripley: "They can bill me!" Best line by Kat: "It was a re-gift though."
@3:46ish... "Look, just because we go to the same hair dresser..." Ha ha ha ha =X-D I bursted out loud walking away to the kitchen!! Good line, Kat!!
When Ripley gave the tracker bracelet to newt and made the regift joke….that got me.😂😂😂😂
I love the slow build up, it's like over 40 minutes until you see an alien, then the tension does not let up until the end. It's kind of an exhausting movie to watch. Big shout out to Paul Reiser as Burke, previously involved in comedy he was absolutely fantastic and slimy in this.
For most my life, I thought that power loader Ripley was piloting was real. It is just a blend of really good practical in-camera effects.
All bishop needed was a little ALIEN TAPE am i right? Good as newt. 😊
🤣
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I loved all your reactions to this. This is my favorite horror movie of all time! As an 80s kid, maybe I'm biased, but I don't care. This movie started my obsession with horror, and then I watched many Alfred Hitchcock movies, and I never turned back.
So I was 10 years old, we were at my Grandma's house in 1987, and she had HBO. My brother and I watched this movie in total awe while my parents were distracted. Amazingly, it never gave me nightmares.❤❤❤
There is no third Alien film and they all lived happily ever after. Just believe that.
No, there's 4 more in the direct series. Alien 3 is great and the most brutal of the alien movies, alien resurrection is average but has some excellent scenes and characters and promethsues is on par with alien and aliens. Grow up.
You must be thinking of a different science fiction franchise. Yep, they only made the two Alien movies. @@unropednope4644
@@unropednope4644 "promethsues is on par with alien and aliens" hahaha, what? No.
@@unropednope4644 on par with alien 3 but never at all able to reach 1 or 2.....
@@unropednope4644Why did you think Prometheus was good? I didn't feel it did justice to the alien films personally.
I’m surprised no one has done a parody of newt pressing every elevator button on the way back up.
Hah, funny! Love it.
Nah, Newt was way too smart for that..only Hudson, (or maybe Vasquez just to spite Hudson! 🤣) would've done that!
I could see that happening in the scene where he's getting all jittery about the xenos maybe being in here with them already.."They're in here!"
I could just see her or Drake grinning wolfishly & sealing & locking a door or two behind him..thus making him panic & have to run halfway back around the complex just to get back to where everyone is..
Only to then realise his readings were right, and they really were coming.."oops, shit.. sorry buddy!"
Or Bishop roasting & messing with Ripley more, about her 'android issues' perhaps..
So many great parody possibilities!
A parody of some stuff like that would be kuul indeed.
Can I say that the room you're currently recording in is probably the most horror movie room I think I've ever seen.
There's even a creepy ass doll in the corner
The shot of the xeno coming out of the water behind Newt is such an awesome shot.
This is in my top all time favorites
''Health bar still in the middle!'' XD
You make my day!
Ripley shot up the eggs so she could sleep at night.
Hands down, you provide the best commentary.
@10:44; one can see the colouration of the face hugger on the far right looks less pallid that the other two; also far left and centre specimens seem to be floating in their tanks whist far right appears to be supporting its body with its tail. Great attention to detail from set designers here.
Had to subscribe, your reactions are hysterical and scarcastic. The perfect combo. Aliens is a legendary film that is puts today's movies to shame.
this movie gave me ptsd... i used to have nightmares about facehuggers and would wake up screaming.
those thigs are the most terrifying monsters ever conceived by the mind of man.
First time watching. I grew up with movies like this, and it makes me happy that people enjoy this kind of content between the crap we got today. Loving your energy. Keep going! The amount of good content to enjoy is endless!
Sigourney Weaver is a big anti-gun (gun control) person and she was uncomfortable with handling the guns. But as a true professional actor, you can't tell any of that. She played the roll to a T and was a complete bad ass. The watch Weaver wore in the movie was a Seiko chronograph designed specifically for her character. It has a unique futuristic design and is now affectionately called the "Ripley". What a movie! Thanks for reacting.
When this movie came out there were transport companies calling 20th century Fox asking where they could buy power loader mechs to use in their warehouses. They looked that real.
Great reaction to possibly one of the greatest sequel films ever. Certainly in my top two. And you're fricking adorable watching this. 😀
Compared to other movies where watching extended/director's cut version just shows a lot of stuff that we can tell needed to be cut, the extended version of Aliens adds a lot of great backstory early on in the movie about Ripley. Semi-spoilers, maybe, but Ripley's daughter passed away of natural causes at the age of 66, two years before Ripley was found, which devastated Ripley when she learned it. They made that into a huge deal for her (as it would have been for any mother worth that title) which makes everything about Newt that much more poignant. And I'm a bitter, jaded old man with no heart or emotions to speak of (or so I'm told), but I still get teary eyed when Newt calls Ripley 'Mommy' at the end.
Clicks = kilometers.
The acid did eat through the tire, though as these are heavy duty military vehicles I imagine they have solid core tires instead of standard inflatable tires, so disintegration takes a bit longer. But the spray destroyed the linkages of the transaxle more easily.
Why do they open that? They open the ceiling panel and look around because one needs to know where the threat is to know how and where to respond. Knowing where they are means they can lay down some suppressive fire in that location and allow themselves a chance to retreat in good order and in a safer direction.
As I recall, the onscreen Queen reveal was also the first time either of the two actresses had seen 'her'. No concept art, no nothing, just suddenly there she was, full size and absolute nightmare fuel. Absobloodylutely insane.
And Ripley has had *ENOUGH* of the Queen's BS by now. Besides, if she destroys a lot of things and puts the Queen in danger, the usual hivemind priority response is PROTECT THE QUEEN! and not ATTACK THE INTRUDERS!, which is why Ripley didn't have to fight her way through legions of xenomorphs all the way back to the platform.
This is the perfect ending to the Alien saga. Everything that steals the name after this is just half-assed money grabs cashing in on the Alien/Aliens name. I went to watch Alien3 but hated it so badly from the start that I walked out barely half an hour into the movie. I've never watched anything else from the extended series, and I suggest that other people should never do so either. That's just my opinion though, and it's worth what you paid for it: nothing.
But, in my personal headcanon, Ripley and Hicks end up getting back to Earth safely and then getting married and adopting Newt before living happily ever after on the proceeds of their successful lawsuit against the corporation. Bishop's 'brain' is put into a new Bishop body and he willingly acts as the family's butler and friend for the rest of their lives. The end.
Michael Biehn as Hicks at least survived this movie, and having him survive was a nice twist on the 'everyone but one person dies' horror movie trope. And the old joke held true: If he doesn't have a mustache he's a good guy.
The actress who played Vasquez, the ultimate bad-A marine, is in three of my top twelve favorite movie series, and sadly she dies in all three. She's still awesome here though.
Paxton as Hudson was great. He was scared as crap, but when it was time for action he was right there in the thick of it, doing the best he could, no matter what. And he was a legend at getting them into places and learning all the information they needed too.
One of my favorite stories about this movie was told by Paul Reiser who played Carter Burke. He took his mother to the premiere and told her nothing about the movie beforehand. She joined in with the rest of the audience applauding when Burke died, and from an article I read he said that for weeks afterward every time they saw each other when she first saw him she got this look of disgust on her face, this "I can't believe you did that to those people" kind of look. That's what made him really believe that he could be an actor.
In spite of my past work in computers I'm absolutely a practical FX person, because digital FX are overused and rushed to the point of usually being awful. I am always amazed at the eerie but kinda sickly beautiful work that went into the practical FX for this movie. Not just the aliens themselves, though they are incredible, but all the set dressing, the puppetry/animatronics, makeup and costuming, everything. Mindblowingly good.
I have my own Aliens movie story, which I think is amusing: After I graduated high school, I became an advisor for the church youth group I had belonged to before graduating. In 1988, when I was 20, we had a lock-in one fall weekend. The high school youth were allowed to pick movies to rent for the lock in. Aliens was one of the ones chosen. I had kind of seen it before, but it was as background while hanging out with friends, so I didn't know much about it. We started watching it around 11 p.m. All of the adults and most of the teens had gone to sleep in the rooms set aside for that, while a few teens and I started watching Aliens in the High School Sunday School room in the large mostly underground downstairs of the large church. The teens all left and went to sleep before we reached the halfway point, but I was interested so I stayed up and finished the movie. It was now around 1 a.m. All the lights were off because everyone but me was asleep. My last task before I could sleep was to go around the unlocked areas of the downstairs and make sure none of the teens had snuck off to do anything they shouldn't have. So here I am, walking through dark cinder block walled hallways with exposed ductwork overhead, and no lights except for the occasional faint red lights of the "Exit" signs. My heart is beating like a jackhammer as I carefully edge my way through the dark halls, knowing that there are no xenomorphs but still expecting some kind of jump scare that's going to make me lash out and crap myself at the same time. Luckily, everyone was fast asleep and I finished my rounds and went and lay down, but it was probably the least restful sleep I had and the most nervous I had ever been in church.
43:45 The Queen is a 2 man puppet that's also worked like a marionette, as well as miniature rod puppets(?) for the scrap; I know they're miniatures as well.
Brilliant reactions Kat you truly are a diamond & are one of my favourite You Tube reactors.
The Directors Cut adds more depth to Ripley having a daughter & shows how the colony become invaded by the aliens.
This is how you write a strong female character.
Your reaction had as much action as the movie. Awesome. Thanks.
You can imagine how horrifying it was to see these Aliens on the big screen in a movie theater.
25:50 *Alien 3 enters the chat...starts to talk about Corporal Hicks, takes one look at the reaction from the room and slowly backs out and never to be spoken of again...*
To be fair, "Alien 3" is at least as good as "Highlander 2".
@@tjsogmcGod, you guys are insufferable, probably haven't watched alien 3 since 1993 and don't realize how great that movie actually is. Maybe get over two characters that were in one movie and move on? Jesus christ
@@unropednope4644 Nah, the movie was a hot mess in 93 and it's even worse now. Sometimes movies are just a steaming pile of shit no matter how much time passes.
I accepted that each film of this franchise has a following whether the people who hate those like it or not, such a shame that diversity of opinion isn't allowed in any fandom.
@@unropednope4644 wow unropednope4644, tell us how you really feel.
The foot on the alien head is actually Steven Spielberg‘s wife it was last minute direction by Spielberg he just said who here can fire a gun so he got her to do it,I heard it on aliens directors cut audio commentary😊
22:45 That's a meme gif right there. ❤
Don't listen to the people telling you not to watch the third one!
I agree
Yeah I like Alien Cubed
Listen to them, even the Director hates that movie.
You picked the best sequel of all time, well played. Saw it alone in the theater at 13, best film experience of my life!
Haha, what a fantastic reaction. I was riding it with you the whole way.
This is definitely my favourite moofie of the series
What can I say ? Alien and Aliens ? The two greatest reactions I have ever seen. I give you eleven out of ten cats 🐈⬛🤘
Paxton and Beihn in multiple Cameron movies! All 3 of them were buds and came up in Hollywood together!
This movie is so intense. Love the backstory that Ripley lost her daughter so she just never could leave Newt. Powerfull. Extreme but the best woman hero ever in a movie.
The Queen Alien was designed by James Cameron and made real by Stan Winston, she had 2 people back to back inside her body working the arms, there were hydraulics to move her head,face, mouth, inner mouth and a crane that suspended her in the air, I dare anyone watching this movie to find a wire, you never see one because of how Jim Cameron visualized the final fight, they didn't have digital editing these days, all real, all practical effects, truly epic.
You have to see Alien 3 at least once in your life! I loved it!
"You have to get eye cancer at least once, you'll love it!" Not.
@@miller-joelAlien 3 is great. It's the only Alien movie were the longer version is actually worth watching.
@@Marcel_Wendigo 🤣
They only made 2 movies. What are you talking about? :P [/sarc]
fun fact, Bishop (android) played by Lance Henriksen, Captain Hicks played by Michael Biehn, and Private Hudson played by Bill Paxton - all 3 were with James Cameron in his earlier film, The Terminator. One recurring theme in both Terminator and Aliens was a strong central female heroine rising out from an otherwise mundane life (waitress, freight driver). This is unlike the modern age where heroes are born not made (Marvel Cinematic Universe, etc). Also interesting is that great directors like James Cameron, tend to carry an orbit of actors who want to stay attached to what they do like Bong Joon Ho, Martin Scorsese etc
Those Aliens sure know how to redecorate a place. One of the best sequels of all time.
A "klick" is a kilometer. It's a common shorthand in the US military
Best movie. So fun watching reactions like this. Thank you.
8:04 It’s funny you say that, because Sergeant Johnson from the original Halo games is based off Sergeant Apone (guy with the cigar). In fact, a lot of the original halo game is based off this very movie.
Thank God for reaction videos. Love the reactions. Won't want to sit next to reactors in at the movies, though 😂
So many practical effects done well! Can't beat it for a sci fi action movie!
First time i watched movie reaction of yours and you moved me with your authentic energetic true reaction on a favourite movie of mine!
I belong to a generation that experienced this masterpiece in a movie theater!!!
Without irrational wokeness back then, Aliens, Terminator and other movies of 80s and 90s proved beyond any doubts that Hollywood knew you to portrait Women Heroism creating Female Action Heroin!!!
The fact that you really feel and living the movie says alot about your character heart and soul!
Don't you ever miss it!!!
Greetings from Greece!
loved this video, great reaction 😄 this movie is timeless, ages like wine. for sure my most quoted, almost every scene has a memorable line.
fun fact the opening scene of halo 1 was a massive reference to the marine prep scene in aliens
A "klick" is one kilometer in military jargon.
Last comment, certain acids like hydrocyanic acid won’t effect tires, The two main synthetic rubber polymers used in tire manufacturing are butadiene rubber and styrene butadiene rubber. These two combinations of rubber is what makes tires extremely durable in most use cases except for natural wear and puncture but they’re semi chemical resistant.
..."Fan'Out & Hide!",,,,😂🎉×1000 Kat killzMe!!!!
Who recognized actress Jenette Goldstein as the badass Marine Pvt Vasquez? She has appeared in several John Cameron movies. She also appeared in 1997's Titanic ( the Irish mother telling her children a bedtime story in their cabin as the ship sinks) and as John Connor's foster mom Janelle in Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
