I envy you horror movies nowadays will never be the same as they were back in the day I’m only a 90s kid so i could only imagine watching Jason or alien in the theaters lucky guy 😅
Yes it was an experience then, dark huge theater with the film shown in 70 mm Dolby on a collosal screen about 3 or 4 stories high with a packed house of moviegoers. I was 14 then and wound up seeing it about 6 times within a few months to a year. It was terrifying, unique and creepy to the enth degree, a horror film more than a sci-fi film. A true cinema classic. Ridley Scott is brilliant and hires the best teams around him. And the acting all around was just top tier. From Ash to Parker to Dallas to Ripley and etc., it was just real in every sense. This film is a cinema classic.
I won’t complain that Prey’s success has led to more people checking out the original Predator. I’m even happier if it means more people check out Alien (and hopefully Aliens too) as well 🙂
Kind of funny that I never watch Predator, I watch all of the Alien and The new predator and AvP but never watch the original I can't wait to watch it.
About bringing cats to a space: From the dawn of time when travelers where making long voyages (sea, land) they took the pets to give them company, make them not go crazy, make them laugh and release stress. Thats why dogs were introduce for voyages to North/South pole exploring (not just for the slide riding)
One more reason for ships cat was the pest control. It was extremely important for wooden ships (as mice and rats could literally eat trough the hull and cause flooding and chew ropes and canvas which could endanger rigging) and even in the age of metal ships rodents coud cause a fire (by chewing on cables) and spoil food supply. Only in 1975 did RN officialy ban cats and all pets from its ships.
@@Artanis99 Pest Control is pretty much the reason humans and cats are so intrinsically tied together these days. As we started getting into agriculture, rodents would be devastating to stored food. Makes you wonder how early human civilization would have developed if we didn't keep cats around to deal with that problem.
@@a.t.c.3862 hmm dont know. I was in Amudsen museum (norway). They were at sea 3-5 years. Came back more fat than before. But it was not mentioned if they ate dogs haha
The first alien movie was barely advertised. They had a single-page ad in Rolling Stone. It was just a xenomorph egg, and the caption was “In space, no one can hear you scream.”
Waaaait, wait, wait, wait, you've got to see Predator 2! It started the *whole* Aliens vs Predator franchise! Its significance as far as the lore of the Predators being galaxy faring hunters, and hunting xenomorphs can not be understated. Imagine for a moment when the original Predator came out; at that point, the audience could only assume that the Predator aliens had *only* been hunting on Earth. But in Predator 2 it officially *expands* the scope of their tradition. Idm if y'all skip making a reaction of watching it, but certainly off screen, to give context as to how the AvP franchise began.
People don't show enough love for Predator 2 (1990) ... a timeline continuation of the storyline as well as the easter egg that links to the Alien universe and what is now a callback link to Prey Predator 2 - He's in town with a few days to kill
Totally agree. If not for the awesomeness of the original Predator, if the series had started with Predator 2, P2 would have been the preeminent Predator movie. Very good.
@@JB-nc7yk Funny - I never even considered what those 2 films would be in reverse order. Schwarzenegger's team is sent to the jungle after what happens in Los Angeles
This is my all time favorite horror movie. There are very few classic movie reactions I look forward to as much as Alien. Especially from people who have absolutely no idea what the Xenomorph’s are or what they can do. I saw it when I was WAY too young at age 11. The Xenomorph was literally the embodiment of my nightmares throughout my childhood. Fun/Scary Fact: The Xenomorph is actually based on a real life insect, the Tarantula Hawk which is a wasp from the southwest United States. It reproduces by hunting tarantulas, paralyzing them with it’s stinger, dragging them into the spiders hollow, laying an egg on the spiders belly, then the egg hatches and the larvae devours the spider from the inside out.
We hit some major firsts in the 70's with Alien (1st outerspace horror movie), Jaws (1st Summer blockbuster & huge shark movie) The Superman Movie (1st time it looked like a man could fly) and Star Wars (1st epic Space saga). Not to mention: Westworld - androids Rocky The Godfather Halloween Carrie A lot of movies in the 70's totally changed the film industry.
The Xenomorph, in my opinion, remains the most horrifying alien entity ever conceived for film and/or television. The Exorcist, also in my opinion, remains the most terrifying horror film ever produced. Thank you, come again.
The Xenomorphs are iconic, but they're just giant bugs with acid blood. The most horrifying alien entity is the Thing. Because it doesn't need to chase you down, stalk you in the dark, or any of that other monster tropey stuff. All it has to do is imitate a cute fluffy kitten or puppy and brush up against you. Or just some random person and bump into you in a store, on the sidewalk, etc. Or some little kid coughing or sneezing near you. One single cell is all it needs to take over your body. And nothing biological is immune.
Alien...a master class in building tension and mystery. It's the concept of don't go in the house pushed to the limit mixed with the darkest side of sci-fi. Except for the computer aspect of the movie, it aged like fine wine, the model used and painted glasses in the cave of the ship giving a more realistic feel to everything on screen. H.R Giger is a mad genius with his creation of the Alien monster, a model of touching the inner human fear in his design ! It's a good candidate for top 5 best horror movie/sci-fi of all time !
Fun fact: During the dinner scene, the actors weren't told exactly what would happen. All they were told was that the guy would be on the table freaking out. So their reactions to the chestburster were totally real.
From what I understand, most of the movie was that way... Yaphet Kotto thought he was going to be the hero of the story... when he found out his character died, he was a bit ticked off and argued about it.
He was also offered the part of Lando Calrissian in Empire Strikes back but turned it down for fear of being type casted as the black dude doing space movies
I'm just waiting for someone to come along and say that the scene wasn't filmed that way... it was all an urban myth... which I grew up with and will defend. they'll try to bring up all the rigging for the alien puppet and other such technical talk. I say to them: were you there on the day that scene was filmed? No? then you DON'T know how it was done, and that's why we call it the magic of Hollywood!
@@kingscorpion7346 th-cam.com/video/FDBS_14q6jg/w-d-xo.html They also had to re set the burster puppet on john hurt because it didnt burst through the first time, they knew pretty much everything that was going on.
I love this film various reason. The Riply's character is smart, quick witted and brave. Ripley is not just bimbo sex object (what Sigourney Weaver Spoofed in Galaxy Quest brilliantly) . She is top on my list of realistic heroes like with John McClane and Sarah Connor as heroes who bleed, who have traumas and are not superhuman but do incredible feats because its right thing to do or its according their principles.
I'll fix the uncertainty for you. "Prometheus" does take place before "Alien." Yes, it's in the same cinematic universe. No, it's not a direct prequel to "Alien." No, that's not the same ship, or Space Jockey. They aren't really connected story wise in any significant way.
Sorry I had to stop it. The constant making lame jokes and also making fun of the movie, dissecting it and trying to find flaws in it is really off putting. Yes no story is written perfectly, but at the same time you claim to be a fan of the stupid AVENGERS and CAPTAIN AMERICA and X- men and shit like that ... those movies are THE REAL f joke . You should make fun of those movies not classics like this. i can understand a person likes *SIN CITY 2005* or *WATCHMEN 2009* ( see those are cool BAD ASS movies based on comic books ) But f captain america, avengers ??? Thor ???? Hulk??? This is f 8 year old children level shit. Nobody ever dies, PLOT HOLEs after PLOT HOLEs. And you like " THOSE MOVIES" ???? And you people dare to make fun of this Alien 1979 movie??? Prometheus is a f joke in comparison to the first 2 Alien movies. In fact every alien movies after the first two is a f joke. GET SOME TASTE MAN. Stop watching Cartoon children level IQ movies.... my god. I remember pewdiepie once saying that those ( avengers etc ... ) movies are lame and he never cared for them and people went ape shit... i can't believe that there is a fan base liking those lame superhero movies. Grow up people . Watch some grown up stuff, Not CGI nonsense with steroid full pumped wannabe " actors "
No it wasn't it was the tripe of a sheep's stomach which is called Nottingham lace. Ridley Scott explicitly states this in the behind the scenes documentary.
You were talking about the beginning of sci-fi movies, actually, this movie, "Alien" took very close inspiration from a 1950s alien movie called, "It, the Terror from Beyond Space." They did not have much in the special effects department back then, but the basic plot is the same. Yes, you are not supposed to use a spoon, or anything else for that matter, to stick in a person's mouth during a seizure. When I taught CPR, the only thing you are supposed to do is place a soft object under their head, move objects away from them, and call 911, having the AED and first aid kit on hand in case they are needed. Trying to keep the victim from biting their own tongue can lead to you getting bitten or greater injury to the victim of the seizure.
Yes, Ripley was great character. She was intelligent, caring, and represented a good officer. She was right in ALL here statements about protocol to avoid EXACTLY what happened, unbeknownst to her the company was one who basically set different priorities. She was good person who cared about her crew. She wanted to get everyone home alive, and you can see Ripley was truly traumatize by not only alien but loss of her crewmates. Sigourney did amazing job. This is a good strong female character. She wasn't a flawless character, but a woman trying to right thing with everything going against her. Your wife's "he is creamy" reaction just made me burst into laughter though. I loved both your reactions.
The character was written as a male and later changed to female, I think that is positiv because that's how she avoided all the annoying cliche behaviour
There are some factors of the movie that could only be experienced when it came out. The actor of the first guy who died was a big name action star at the time, and all the other actors were recognizable names as well, except Sigourney Weaver. She was completely unknown at the time. So not only was that first guy getting killed off so early something nobody saw coming, neither was Ripley being the only survivor. On top of that, we praise her for being badass and smart right away now, because we know she’s the star now. But her actions in the beginning, trying to keep them quarantined, intentionally come across as heartless. They’re meant to get the audience against Ripley for callously leaving her crewmates to die and going by the book for her own self-preservation. Dialogue from her soon afterward reinforces this. We don’t get that sensation anymore, because even new viewers probably know who Sigourney Weaver is and know she’s the hero of Alien, or at least would have no inkling that she’s the least recognizable actor in the cast at the time the movie came out. Even right down to the scene where the xenomorph makes its last two kills, the movie is weaponizing tropes to make us not suspect that Ripley will be the sole survivor. The other woman on the crew is set up as that right up until her death scene. She in a team with the big, strong guy with a weapon, while Ripley goes back for the cat. Every victim so far has been someone who’s caught alone by the xenomorph, including one who went for the cat earlier, usually in dark places with plenty of hiding spots. Ripley is set up to die in that scene. But instead, the xenomorph abandons the pattern we’ve gotten used to, and makes its last killings of the movie in full view, against the group, not the individual, while they’re armed. It completely turns itself on its head at that point. This movie is really good.
Alien and Aliens are both incredible works of art! So much genius details and design in both. Idk if you guys play video games, but Alien Isolation is a fantastic game to give you the feeling of being in that situation. Also, since you're on a sci-fi alien movie binge, The Thing 1982 is a must!
9:21 - Yes. He's also Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings. 11:17 - It's the same type of ship (from the Engineers) but not the exact same. 38:47 - It's not an AI that observes and controls things autonomously. It's just a fancy board computer. 45:55 - The fact that Lambert body has naked legs and that the alien was putting the tail between her feet started theories about the alien doing nasty things with her. 51:26 - Also consider that this movie was intended to be a real horror movie, Predator was never intended to be anything more than an '80s action with some horror twist but became a classic too.
I reckon the lambert thing is because she was the first thing the Alien heard. She got the blood splashed all over her and the first thing the xenomorph heard was her scream. Perhaps it sensed her scent or something. Idk just my theory 🤷♂️
Im feeling so stupid right now... Alien is one of my favorite movie franchises and I Love lotr as the good nerd that I am, but damn, I never realized that Ash and Bilbo were the same actor.
The Lambert naked thing and theory of it doing something sexual was in reference to the original artist’s work of Xenomorphs being very heavily sexualized in a creepy alien manner, Ridley Scott got his inspiration from that artist in his design of the movie monster.
In the past, at the time of sailing ships, used to explore the unknown world, they would bring a cat along to control the vermin. At the time, it was rats. Jones symbolizes the advancement of travel, as well as the danger, with humans staying unchanged. Also, when people died on board, they would do an "ocean burial" and throw them into the sea.
Prometheus came out in 2012. And the derelict spaceship seen here in Alien & in Prometheus are more or less identical, of the same design & made by the same alien race but it's not the exact same ship. The Alien fandom is still waiting for exact connections between the prequel alien films & the original & it seems most unlikely that we will ever get any answers.
I feel like prometheus only happened because ridley wanted to do a sci-fi story and could only get funding if he made it about alien. as far as i'm concerned there are 2 predator movies and two alien movies and that is that. there are some good parts to some of the others (predators, avp, and even prometheus) but Those 4 are the only ones i love.
I used to sneak out of my room as a kid to watch my parents watching TV at nights, through like a doorcrack...and unfortunately for my 6 year old self, this was on TV in 1985 at one of those spy nights...I'm not 100% sure i don't still have trauma from it :p Still dont feel comfortable about the space under my bed, it's definately a monster hide out....
It was on Tv in San Diego in March 1987 . I wanted to see after having seen Aliens. I had no idea about the change in style. Scared to death and was scarred for 2 years Alien (Sci-fi horror) Aliens ( Sci-fi action horror)
Alien was a good movie, but Aliens was my go to. I just love the action a bit more. Alien is definitely a great movie and more geared towards horror, but there are just a few specific scenes in Aliens that makes me a bit more fond of that movie more. But I think every fan can agree that you may like Alien or Aliens best, but never Aliens 3 haha.
Alien came out just 2 years after Star Wars, so yeah it's perfectly fine to compare that opening scene of the underside of the Nostromo with the opening scene of Star Wars showing the underside of a Star Destroyer. The scene in Alien is pretty clearly inspired by the scene in Star Wars. Aside from that, and the fact that everything has a lived-in & used feeling rather than being squeaky clean like in almost all other sci fi movies/shows at the time, the two movies don't really have a lot in common. Also, IMO you should really watch Predator 2. There are some movies in the Alien and Predator franchises that can (and probably should) be skipped, but I don't think Predator 2 is one of them. The first 2 movies in each franchise are good and really give you a feel for what the predators and xenomorphs are all about.
Star Wars also showed there was an audience for well made, big budget science fiction movies. Prior to A New Hope, there hadn't been very many, and the most recent one that had been spectacularly successful was 2001: A Space Odyssey, which came out all the way back in 1968.
Ripley went back to disable the self destruct because the alien was blocking the way to the escape ship (because of his fascination with Jones the cat). After attempting to disable it, the alien was no longer there (because he had stowed away on the escape ship!) so she could board the ship and be on her way. The ONE thing I would nitpick about this movie is that when the Nostromo blows up - THREE TIMES - it was just a tad overboard. But still a genuine 5 star movie! In the theater, when she blows up the Nostromo and then the credits DON'T start rolling, everyone was like, "Say what?" and we knew something was up. What that 'something' was turned out to be awesome.
Through with its ups n downs it’d be fascinating to react to the Alien and Predator movies, I don’t see the reason of skipping entries, it’s part of that experience seeing the highs and now and what shape the series. You can react to other films and Tv, do other videos but please considering giving the other films a reaction.
Mother makes no decisions. It simply analyzes and reports. All orders come from the company. The company wants the Alien. The company, really, is the villain of the Alien franchise.
Being 10 when Alien came out, and going into my first year of college when Predator hit the screens, it is still hard for me to imagine seeing Predator before Alien. I loved the Alien before the Predator was even a thought in a directors mind. #TEAMALIEN
Should definitely watch Predator 2, Aliens, and AVP: Alien VS Predator. Forget Prometheus, Covenant, Alien 3, and 4. I would even recommend that you watch Predators staring Adrian Brody. It wasn't half bad. And this movie takes place in the year 2122. Yes, he was the priest in The Fifth Element as well as older Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings.
Who brings a cat into space? Someone who wants to pet something furry but doesn’t want things to get awkward when they do that with the captain’s beard.
I still hope you guys watch Predator 2 since it does have a bit of a connection to Prey at the end. It's not as good as some of the others, but still was a fun watch and lore of the race.
Ash (Android) is played by Ian Holm who also played Father Vito Cornelius in The Fifth Element and Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit franchise. He passed June 18, 2020.
I strongly believe you guys should watch Predator 2 before watching AvP. Kacee will get more backstory into the Preditors, and their is a massive Easter Egg at the end. Now that Prey is out, you can almost say, TWO Easter Eggs.
You need to watch predator 2 aswell , its the film that created the avp universe basically because it has the alien easter egg , after it all the comics and games and films came , and its a great sequel
Come on guys (especially Patreon guys) they gotta watch the Alien and Predator films in subsequent order. Like definitely the next two alien films and absolutely Predator 2. Would be a disservice to themselves and the fans of the films to not watch em leading up to the first AvP
11:07 cats always ride free on ships. They kill little pests. They are very territorial animals and love their ships. Its a bigger and more exciting place than any apartment of today. I bet every old sailorship cat though it was the actual captain. Its part of history and im sure if we ever invent space travel (to a degree that mining, trade ect is possible) cats will be on board with us. Killing mice, rats and anything small that shts in the ventilaton system or something. And the cats will love it!
Ridley Scott’s design of the slime was inspired by the artwork of H.R. Giger. If you google image his name you’ll see why and how sexual the art was lol.
People, you need to read and pay attention. All movie you keep asking about things already had been explained, but didn't pay attention, talking over the movie.
Jonesey: Space Cat. The only theory that makes sense to me is that he was a stowaway feline. I don't think that the "company", who had strict quarantine protocols in place would give consent to a furry mammal for space travel. Hence, Jones was probably discovered by the crew after launch and there was no turning back so to speak. No way would this cat survive the environment on it's own, so I'm guessing that he was sharing the sleep pod with Ripley. And with no Purina Cat chow on board, I'm sure Jones just ate what the crew ate. Also, since Jones was in hyper sleep for 57 years between the Alien and Aliens films, he holds the record for the "worlds oldest cat". Coupled with the hyper sleep time-line from this film, Jones clearly lived well past 60 years old. Maybe 70+.
You should really watch Predator 2 as well. The Pred trophy room near the end shows the Alien skull in the background. That was the scene that lead to all the Alien vs Predator fan theories that caused it to actually happen years later.
Between this and Terminator, James Cameron put two female leads in films that showed how strong women can be, in a time when it wasn’t common for women to be seen as capable as men are. And it was the right call, since Sarah Connor and Ripley are two of the most badass and iconic women in film history.
Sarah Connor, Eleanor Ripley and Leia Organa are the trinity of OG bad ass female characters. Their character earned their respect. It didn’t feel like a cheap attempt to make a strong female character because they weren’t defined by their sex; they were great characters who happened to be female. I feel some of that has been lost in modern film. It’s like they’re reversed engineered now. I miss when the character mattered more.
Alita in Alita Battle Angel is another strong, determined female character (cyborg). The WOKE people criticized Cameron because Alita, who was a a badass warrior with martial arts ability, had a feminine body characteristic of a young woman; their criticism is ridiculous.
@@44excalibur Oh yeah I forgot. Still Cameron could've easily sidelined her if he was the type of person to do that, thankfully he didn't, and Ripley only grew stronger in the events of the second film.
Whoever designed and built the self destruct mechanism for this movie should have won an award. It just seems so real, like that's exactly how it would be if such things existed: Difficult to do so you could never accidentally do it (unlike Star Trek where it's only necessary for two crewmembers to concur to the ship's computer). I just love it, and of course the whole escape sequence is adrenaline pumping.
It isn't just two crew members concuring. It's two officers with command authority. Eg Captain & First officer or whoever is the next in line of command. It's not like ensign's bob & dave could order the ship to self destruct and have the command officers helpless to stop them.. 🤣 Lol...
@@Markus117d Still, only a few steps by command officers is all it takes, whereas on the Nostromo it is quite a bit more convoluted even though it can apparently be done by anyone with access to that area of the ship. You make a good point.
Ian Holm was truly in the movie of "The Fifth Element". Though I have seen this movie since I was a kid even though it kinda freaked me out but I enjoyed it 👍🏿
If they make another alien movie I wanna see one about Jones. That cat went through a lot in this movie stayed home for the sequel aliens, and because Ripley didn’t return home after the events of Alien three what happened to Jones??? Was he adopted did he starve to death??? I NEED TO KNOW 😹
Good! Ian Holm (Bishop) was the priest in 5th Element! John Hurt is also in this movie who played the wand merchant in Harry Potter. You may recognize Tom Skerrit as the Captain here, was also in Top Gun and many other movies. I'm trying to recall, but I believe Yaphet Koto was in the movie, though not positive. I'm glad you folks enjoyed the movie and thanks for sharing with us :)
I don’t know what u r skipping Predator 2, they show a lot about Why Predators are the way they are in that Movie! After the Original Predator, P2 is where we can see a lot of the Predator behavior and actions, specially in a City. Anthony u and Casey should watch all of the movies.
There's a great deleted scene, which I believe is in the directors cut, where the alien encounters Jones the cat towards the end, and doesn't harm him. Many think it's because the alien it was too small to be a host, , but I think it recognized a fellow remorseless killer (which cats are to small animals) and respectfully went on its way.
Big disservice if you skip Predator 2 especially if you're going to get into AVP if it wasn't for Predator 2 there would be absolutely no Alien versus Predator definitely a must
It used to be common to bring cats onto large boats for pest control so it's safe to say Jones was allowed on the Nostromo for the same reason. As for the Xenomorph itself, it was designed with many sexual themes in mind. The Alien series and the predator series only really exist together through comics and 2 pretty bad movies. Within the Alien franchise, Predators do not exist and vice versa.
The idea for the Alien v Predator movie actually came from a comic book in the late 1980s called Aliens vs. Predator, which was published by Dark Horse Comics. The Aliens vs. Predator comic was a very different story from the movies. It was set in the same futuristic universe created by Ridley Scott and James Cameron in Alien and Aliens, and was set on another planet shortly after the events of James Cameron's Aliens. The Alien v Predator movie kept some elements from the comic, like the partnership between the female character and the Predator, but radically changed everything else, transferring the story to Earth in the present day, in Antarctica, a move most likely inspired by John Carpenter's The Thing and H.P. Lovecraft's At The Mountains of Madness.
This is such a fun journey to follow you guys thru! I’m team predator all the way. But I love the artist H.R. Giger who did the concept at for the alien xenomorphs!
I'm sure you saw all the comments from the first Predator reaction, but yeah, Predator 2 is definitely where the lore expands the most and what sets the stage for pretty much everything else. Don't let the Rotten Tomatoes score fool you, it's every fan's favorite film besides the original, at least up until recently. It features the coolest looking Predator IMO and it's the only other Predator that's played by the original actor (Kevin Peter Hall) and uses the suit made by the original designer, the legendary Stan Winston, so the creature is badass. You also see way more of it and it's gadgets than any other film.
This is a classic. But nothing tops Aliens! That is a freaking all time great. I remember watching that at the theater. Yeah I'm that old. :) one character has so many punchlines in that movie. That to this day I remember and use. He made the movie for me. Well besides all the incredible action. Just one of the best sequels ever.
Me and my buddy watched this movie on acid and ultimately decided it was the greatest movie ever made. Even after coming down, I haven’t changed my mind.
This movie is a masterpiece, starting from the very first frame with Jerry Goldsmith's ambient score that fills you with a sense of dread and loneliness starting with the unique title sequence. Just an amazing tour-de-force of all involved. The direct sequel, _Aliens,_ is also excellent but is a very different movie. While the first one is a slow burn atmospheric horror movie that happens to take place in space, the sequel is more of a straight up action sci-fi movie with horror elements. If I had to choose between the two though, I'd choose the first one by a hair. The final 10 minutes, starting from the self-destruct sequence initiation, is just edge of your seat awesome. Believe it or not, but one of the discussed endings for the movie (but ultimately shot down) was to have the alien kill Ripley in the escape shuttle, climb into the pilot's chair, press some buttons on the console and then call for an S.O.S.....in Captain Dallas' voice!

React to the whole franchise you cowards!
Seeing Alien in a dark theater on the big screen back then was a real experience. The tension was impossible to describe to you.
So cool I can only imagine. I wish I could experience it in the old time like this
I envy you horror movies nowadays will never be the same as they were back in the day I’m only a 90s kid so i could only imagine watching Jason or alien in the theaters lucky guy 😅
@@rorschach5184 same feelings 😪
Wow sir🔥
Yes it was an experience then, dark huge theater with the film shown in 70 mm Dolby on a collosal screen about 3 or 4 stories high with a packed house of moviegoers.
I was 14 then and wound up seeing it about 6 times within a few months to a year.
It was terrifying, unique and creepy to the enth degree, a horror film more than a sci-fi film. A true cinema classic. Ridley Scott is brilliant and hires the best teams around him. And the acting all around was just top tier. From Ash to Parker to Dallas to Ripley and etc., it was just real in every sense.
This film is a cinema classic.
I won’t complain that Prey’s success has led to more people checking out the original Predator. I’m even happier if it means more people check out Alien (and hopefully Aliens too) as well 🙂
Aliens was the best movie of the Alien Franchise imo..1987 Predator Film is Everything for me tho!!
WAS Prey any good?
Kind of funny that I never watch Predator, I watch all of the Alien and The new predator and AvP but never watch the original I can't wait to watch it.
@@domidium At the very least, it's the best Predator sequel.

About bringing cats to a space:
From the dawn of time when travelers where making long voyages (sea, land) they took the pets to give them company, make them not go crazy, make them laugh and release stress.
Thats why dogs were introduce for voyages to North/South pole exploring (not just for the slide riding)
One more reason for ships cat was the pest control. It was extremely important for wooden ships (as mice and rats could literally eat trough the hull and cause flooding and chew ropes and canvas which could endanger rigging) and even in the age of metal ships rodents coud cause a fire (by chewing on cables) and spoil food supply. Only in 1975 did RN officialy ban cats and all pets from its ships.
@@Artanis99 Pest Control is pretty much the reason humans and cats are so intrinsically tied together these days. As we started getting into agriculture, rodents would be devastating to stored food.

The first alien movie was barely advertised. They had a single-page ad in Rolling Stone. It was just a xenomorph egg, and the caption was “In space, no one can hear you scream.”
Waaaait, wait, wait, wait, you've got to see Predator 2! It started the *whole* Aliens vs Predator franchise! Its significance as far as the lore of the Predators being galaxy faring hunters, and hunting xenomorphs can not be understated. Imagine for a moment when the original Predator came out; at that point, the audience could only assume that the Predator aliens had *only* been hunting on Earth. But in Predator 2 it officially *expands* the scope of their tradition. Idm if y'all skip making a reaction of watching it, but certainly off screen, to give context as to how the AvP franchise began.
They just have to watch the last 3-5 min and spare themselves the rest of the awful movie.
@@creaturecore13 I keep seeing that a lot of people don't like Predator 2, but I just don't know why. I thought it was a worthy successor.
@@ThreeLeafedClover the cop storyline is bland and it's almost half the movie.. Lol
@@creaturecore13 it's a great movie. Highly underrated.
@@ThreeLeafedClover yeah, i dont know either.
Danny glover as bad-ass cop hunted by a predator is so great!
Literally one of my favourite films of all time. The suspense is incredible.
AND having 0 ideas of what was coming.
People don't show enough love for Predator 2 (1990) ... a timeline continuation of the storyline as well as the easter egg that links to the Alien universe and what is now a callback link to Prey
Predator 2 - He's in town with a few days to kill
This, you guys need watch the sequel before moving to AvP.
Kane was Olivander in Harry Potter. The wandmaker.
Totally agree. If not for the awesomeness of the original Predator, if the series had started with Predator 2, P2 would have been the preeminent Predator movie. Very good.
@@JB-nc7yk Funny - I never even considered what those 2 films would be in reverse order. Schwarzenegger's team is sent to the jungle after what happens in Los Angeles
Ripley is *the* badass woman of film. Everyone who came after lives in her shadow.

@@Tyler_W Both are awesome
Such a woke movie. :p
@@artboymoy no
@@Tyler_W Sarah Connor AFTER the first Terminator movie maybe. In the first one she was no Ellen Ripley.
This is my all time favorite horror movie. There are very few classic movie reactions I look forward to as much as Alien. Especially from people who have absolutely no idea what the Xenomorph’s are or what they can do. I saw it when I was WAY too young at age 11. The Xenomorph was literally the embodiment of my nightmares throughout my childhood.
Fun/Scary Fact: The Xenomorph is actually based on a real life insect, the Tarantula Hawk which is a wasp from the southwest United States. It reproduces by hunting tarantulas, paralyzing them with it’s stinger, dragging them into the spiders hollow, laying an egg on the spiders belly, then the egg hatches and the larvae devours the spider from the inside out.
There are many forms of that wasp that exists. Mostly in hot climates.
Ian Holm, the actor who played Ash, also played Bilbo Baggins from the Lord of the rings.
Can't wait for the Aliens reaction.
RIP Sir Ian Holm. So much talent. Such a diverse career.
@@michaelhoward142 Elijah Wood’s tweet responding to his death gutted me…
“Farewell, Uncle…”
And yes, you are correct. He was the priest in fifth Element
Ash saying 'You have my sympathies' was sarcastic, hence the sarcastic smile.
Their looks of shock when the alien popped out of him were genuine. The cast wasn't told how bloody the effect would be.
We hit some major firsts in the 70's with Alien (1st outerspace horror movie), Jaws (1st Summer blockbuster & huge shark movie) The Superman Movie (1st time it looked like a man could fly) and Star Wars (1st epic Space saga).
Not to mention:
Westworld - androids
Rocky
The Godfather
Halloween
Carrie
A lot of movies in the 70's totally changed the film industry.
The Xenomorph, in my opinion, remains the most horrifying alien entity ever conceived for film and/or television.
The Exorcist, also in my opinion, remains the most terrifying horror film ever produced.
Thank you, come again.
The Xenomorphs are iconic, but they're just giant bugs with acid blood. The most horrifying alien entity is the Thing. Because it doesn't need to chase you down, stalk you in the dark, or any of that other monster tropey stuff. All it has to do is imitate a cute fluffy kitten or puppy and brush up against you. Or just some random person and bump into you in a store, on the sidewalk, etc. Or some little kid coughing or sneezing near you. One single cell is all it needs to take over your body. And nothing biological is immune.
Kacee being 13 when she watched Prometheus makes me feel old. 😌😆
When I watch Millennial or Z reactions I feel the same.
Ditto
6:30 the movie never reveals the date it’s set but it’s confirmed to be taking place on the year 2122, a hundred years from now.
Alien...a master class in building tension and mystery. It's the concept of don't go in the house pushed to the limit mixed with the darkest side of sci-fi. Except for the computer aspect of the movie, it aged like fine wine, the model used and painted glasses in the cave of the ship giving a more realistic feel to everything on screen. H.R Giger is a mad genius with his creation of the Alien monster, a model of touching the inner human fear in his design ! It's a good candidate for top 5 best horror movie/sci-fi of all time !
I was 9 when it came out and watched through my fingers
H. R. Giger was the inspiration for the look of Alien. He was a true nightmare maker.
It wasn't his inspiration. He created it. Based on his painting Necronom IV.
Fun fact: During the dinner scene, the actors weren't told exactly what would happen. All they were told was that the guy would be on the table freaking out. So their reactions to the chestburster were totally real.
From what I understand, most of the movie was that way... Yaphet Kotto thought he was going to be the hero of the story... when he found out his character died, he was a bit ticked off and argued about it.
He was also offered the part of Lando Calrissian in Empire Strikes back but turned it down for fear of being type casted as the black dude doing space movies
I'm just waiting for someone to come along and say that the scene wasn't filmed that way... it was all an urban myth...
which I grew up with and will defend.
they'll try to bring up all the rigging for the alien puppet and other such technical talk.
I say to them: were you there on the day that scene was filmed? No? then you DON'T know how it was done, and that's why we call it the magic of Hollywood!
@@kingscorpion7346 th-cam.com/video/FDBS_14q6jg/w-d-xo.html They also had to re set the burster puppet on john hurt because it didnt burst through the first time, they knew pretty much everything that was going on.
Yeah, Veronica Cartwright (Lambert) looked traumatized in that scene lol
I love this film various reason. The Riply's character is smart, quick witted and brave. Ripley is not just bimbo sex object (what Sigourney Weaver Spoofed in Galaxy Quest brilliantly) . She is top on my list of realistic heroes like with John McClane and Sarah Connor as heroes who bleed, who have traumas and are not superhuman but do incredible feats because its right thing to do or its according their principles.
I'll fix the uncertainty for you. "Prometheus" does take place before "Alien." Yes, it's in the same cinematic universe. No, it's not a direct prequel to "Alien." No, that's not the same ship, or Space Jockey. They aren't really connected story wise in any significant way.
It came after Star Wars sure but still it looks so good almost 45 years later it must have been crazy to watch it in a theater back then.
It was.
Sorry I had to stop it. The constant making lame jokes and also making fun of the movie, dissecting it and trying to find flaws in it is really off putting.
Yes no story is written perfectly, but at the same time you claim to be a fan of the stupid AVENGERS and CAPTAIN AMERICA and X- men and shit like that ...
those movies are THE REAL f joke . You should make fun of those movies not classics like this.
i can understand a person likes *SIN CITY 2005* or *WATCHMEN 2009* ( see those are cool BAD ASS movies based on comic books )
But f captain america, avengers ??? Thor ???? Hulk??? This is f 8 year old children level shit.
Nobody ever dies, PLOT HOLEs after PLOT HOLEs.
And you like " THOSE MOVIES" ????
And you people dare to make fun of this Alien 1979 movie???
Prometheus is a f joke in comparison to the first 2 Alien movies. In fact every alien movies after the first two is a f joke.
GET SOME TASTE MAN. Stop watching Cartoon children level IQ movies.... my god.
I remember pewdiepie once saying that those ( avengers etc ... ) movies are lame and he never cared for them and people went ape shit... i can't believe that there is a fan base liking those lame superhero movies.
Grow up people . Watch some grown up stuff, Not CGI nonsense with steroid full pumped wannabe " actors "
The "squishy" thing inside the egg before the Facehugger flew onto Kane's helmet was actually a raw chicken breast.
That's what I thought it was!
KC is first reacter to actually call it a face hugger in all the reactions I have seen.
No it wasn't it was the tripe of a sheep's stomach which is called Nottingham lace. Ridley Scott explicitly states this in the behind the scenes documentary.
You were talking about the beginning of sci-fi movies, actually, this movie, "Alien" took very close inspiration from a 1950s alien movie called, "It, the Terror from Beyond Space." They did not have much in the special effects department back then, but the basic plot is the same.
Yes, you are not supposed to use a spoon, or anything else for that matter, to stick in a person's mouth during a seizure. When I taught CPR, the only thing you are supposed to do is place a soft object under their head, move objects away from them, and call 911, having the AED and first aid kit on hand in case they are needed. Trying to keep the victim from biting their own tongue can lead to you getting bitten or greater injury to the victim of the seizure.
Kacee: "I used to want to be an astronaut, and then I developed ANXIETY!" xD
"This is why computers will never compete with humans." You got a spit-take out of me on that one. Best. Leo.
Watching Kacee simping SUPER hard for the Predator has been the funniest part of this journey so far. You guys are hilarious! Love your reactions! \m/
The concept of building the walls on the ship, to look like the alien was a stroke of genius
Yes, Ripley was great character. She was intelligent, caring, and represented a good officer. She was right in ALL here statements about protocol to avoid EXACTLY what happened, unbeknownst to her the company was one who basically set different priorities. She was good person who cared about her crew. She wanted to get everyone home alive, and you can see Ripley was truly traumatize by not only alien but loss of her crewmates. Sigourney did amazing job. This is a good strong female character. She wasn't a flawless character, but a woman trying to right thing with everything going against her. Your wife's "he is creamy" reaction just made me burst into laughter though. I loved both your reactions.
The character was written as a male and later changed to female, I think that is positiv because that's how she avoided all the annoying cliche behaviour
There are some factors of the movie that could only be experienced when it came out. The actor of the first guy who died was a big name action star at the time, and all the other actors were recognizable names as well, except Sigourney Weaver. She was completely unknown at the time. So not only was that first guy getting killed off so early something nobody saw coming, neither was Ripley being the only survivor.
On top of that, we praise her for being badass and smart right away now, because we know she’s the star now. But her actions in the beginning, trying to keep them quarantined, intentionally come across as heartless. They’re meant to get the audience against Ripley for callously leaving her crewmates to die and going by the book for her own self-preservation. Dialogue from her soon afterward reinforces this. We don’t get that sensation anymore, because even new viewers probably know who Sigourney Weaver is and know she’s the hero of Alien, or at least would have no inkling that she’s the least recognizable actor in the cast at the time the movie came out.
Even right down to the scene where the xenomorph makes its last two kills, the movie is weaponizing tropes to make us not suspect that Ripley will be the sole survivor. The other woman on the crew is set up as that right up until her death scene. She in a team with the big, strong guy with a weapon, while Ripley goes back for the cat. Every victim so far has been someone who’s caught alone by the xenomorph, including one who went for the cat earlier, usually in dark places with plenty of hiding spots. Ripley is set up to die in that scene. But instead, the xenomorph abandons the pattern we’ve gotten used to, and makes its last killings of the movie in full view, against the group, not the individual, while they’re armed. It completely turns itself on its head at that point.
This movie is really good.
Alien and Aliens are both incredible works of art! So much genius details and design in both. Idk if you guys play video games, but Alien Isolation is a fantastic game to give you the feeling of being in that situation.
Also, since you're on a sci-fi alien movie binge, The Thing 1982 is a must!
John Hurt reprised the alien chest-bursting scene for Spaceballs for Mel Brooks. Y’all need to watch that, also.
9:21 - Yes. He's also Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings.
11:17 - It's the same type of ship (from the Engineers) but not the exact same.
38:47 - It's not an AI that observes and controls things autonomously. It's just a fancy board computer.
45:55 - The fact that Lambert body has naked legs and that the alien was putting the tail between her feet started theories about the alien doing nasty things with her.
51:26 - Also consider that this movie was intended to be a real horror movie, Predator was never intended to be anything more than an '80s action with some horror twist but became a classic too.
I reckon the lambert thing is because she was the first thing the Alien heard. She got the blood splashed all over her and the first thing the xenomorph heard was her scream. Perhaps it sensed her scent or something. Idk just my theory 🤷♂️
Im feeling so stupid right now... Alien is one of my favorite movie franchises and I Love lotr as the good nerd that I am, but damn, I never realized that Ash and Bilbo were the same actor.
@@HiveMindGG To be fair, he was much much younger (RIP) and Bilbo was a much much different character
And the boardcomputer isnt an AI?
The Lambert naked thing and theory of it doing something sexual was in reference to the original artist’s work of Xenomorphs being very heavily sexualized in a creepy alien manner, Ridley Scott got his inspiration from that artist in his design of the movie monster.
This was the only movie that woke me up crying as a kid. and my mom came to comfort me. greetings from Argentina
I saw 'alien chasing me nightmares' few times as a kid. :)
Same my brother. Greetings from Brazil!
lol aliens had me some nightmares
It damn near made my dad cry when I made him watch it - he couldn't sleep afterwards! 😁
In the past, at the time of sailing ships, used to explore the unknown world, they would bring a cat along to control the vermin. At the time, it was rats. Jones symbolizes the advancement of travel, as well as the danger, with humans staying unchanged. Also, when people died on board, they would do an "ocean burial" and throw them into the sea.
Prometheus came out in 2012. And the derelict spaceship seen here in Alien & in Prometheus are more or less identical, of the same design & made by the same alien race but it's not the exact same ship. The Alien fandom is still waiting for exact connections between the prequel alien films & the original & it seems most unlikely that we will ever get any answers.
By the way - YOU MUST watch Aliens - the best military scifi movie EVER made.
Jones is the ship's cat. It used to be tradition for ships to have a cat on board since they would hunt any mice on board a ship.
I feel like prometheus only happened because ridley wanted to do a sci-fi story and could only get funding if he made it about alien. as far as i'm concerned there are 2 predator movies and two alien movies and that is that. there are some good parts to some of the others (predators, avp, and even prometheus) but Those 4 are the only ones i love.
Looking forward to Kacee checking out Aliens. One of the greatest sci-fi action movies of all time.
Yes.
Would love to see you guys watch the entire Aliens/Predators universe.
I used to sneak out of my room as a kid to watch my parents watching TV at nights, through like a doorcrack...and unfortunately for my 6 year old self, this was on TV in 1985 at one of those spy nights...I'm not 100% sure i don't still have trauma from it :p Still dont feel comfortable about the space under my bed, it's definately a monster hide out....
It was on Tv in San Diego in March 1987 . I wanted to see after having seen Aliens. I had no idea about the change in style. Scared to death and was scarred for 2 years
Alien (Sci-fi horror)
Aliens ( Sci-fi action horror)
Alien was a good movie, but Aliens was my go to. I just love the action a bit more. Alien is definitely a great movie and more geared towards horror, but there are just a few specific scenes in Aliens that makes me a bit more fond of that movie more. But I think every fan can agree that you may like Alien or Aliens best, but never Aliens 3 haha.
Alien 3 is better than Alien Resurrection.
Alien came out just 2 years after Star Wars, so yeah it's perfectly fine to compare that opening scene of the underside of the Nostromo with the opening scene of Star Wars showing the underside of a Star Destroyer. The scene in Alien is pretty clearly inspired by the scene in Star Wars. Aside from that, and the fact that everything has a lived-in & used feeling rather than being squeaky clean like in almost all other sci fi movies/shows at the time, the two movies don't really have a lot in common.
Also, IMO you should really watch Predator 2. There are some movies in the Alien and Predator franchises that can (and probably should) be skipped, but I don't think Predator 2 is one of them. The first 2 movies in each franchise are good and really give you a feel for what the predators and xenomorphs are all about.
Star Wars also showed there was an audience for well made, big budget science fiction movies. Prior to A New Hope, there hadn't been very many, and the most recent one that had been spectacularly successful was 2001: A Space Odyssey, which came out all the way back in 1968.
Ripley went back to disable the self destruct because the alien was blocking the way to the escape ship (because of his fascination with Jones the cat). After attempting to disable it, the alien was no longer there (because he had stowed away on the escape ship!) so she could board the ship and be on her way. The ONE thing I would nitpick about this movie is that when the Nostromo blows up - THREE TIMES - it was just a tad overboard. But still a genuine 5 star movie! In the theater, when she blows up the Nostromo and then the credits DON'T start rolling, everyone was like, "Say what?" and we knew something was up. What that 'something' was turned out to be awesome.
Through with its ups n downs it’d be fascinating to react to the Alien and Predator movies, I don’t see the reason of skipping entries, it’s part of that experience seeing the highs and now and what shape the series. You can react to other films and Tv, do other videos but please considering giving the other films a reaction.
Agree
I'm still scratching my head about going to AVP and bypassing Predator 2. WTH?
Honestly I’m of the view that it would be a mistake to skip that cool sequel but let’s NOT pressure them but instead politely request.
Mother makes no decisions. It simply analyzes and reports. All orders come from the company. The company wants the Alien. The company, really, is the villain of the Alien franchise.
Being 10 when Alien came out, and going into my first year of college when Predator hit the screens, it is still hard for me to imagine seeing Predator before Alien. I loved the Alien before the Predator was even a thought in a directors mind. #TEAMALIEN
Should definitely watch Predator 2, Aliens, and AVP: Alien VS Predator. Forget Prometheus, Covenant, Alien 3, and 4. I would even recommend that you watch Predators staring Adrian Brody. It wasn't half bad. And this movie takes place in the year 2122.
Yes, he was the priest in The Fifth Element as well as older Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings.
"Predator doesn't secrete..." - truer words were never spoken
Welcome to the Alien franchise! Next up is one of the best sequels in Cinematic history, Aliens (1986)
Watch Predator 2 and you’ll know *exactly* when the idea of an AVP crossover even became an actual idea.
The way Kacee said "creamy", had me LOL.
You might want to check out Predator 2 before jumping straight into Alien Vs Predator. Especially one quick scene that ties everything together nicely
Who brings a cat into space? Someone who wants to pet something furry but doesn’t want things to get awkward when they do that with the captain’s beard.
I still hope you guys watch Predator 2 since it does have a bit of a connection to Prey at the end. It's not as good as some of the others, but still was a fun watch and lore of the race.
i wouldn't skip predator 2 it introduces quite some lore and cool weapons.
Ash (Android) is played by Ian Holm who also played Father Vito Cornelius in The Fifth Element and Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit franchise. He passed June 18, 2020.
Chariots of Fire!
I strongly believe you guys should watch Predator 2 before watching AvP.
Kacee will get more backstory into the Preditors, and their is a massive Easter Egg at the end. Now that Prey is out, you can almost say, TWO Easter Eggs.
My favorite part of your reaction "naked mole rat, predator doesn't secrete, why is he creamy and predator doesn't lay eggs 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was great 😁❤
Predator 2 was prob the first hint at a crossover. I'll say no more.😄
You need to watch predator 2 aswell , its the film that created the avp universe basically because it has the alien easter egg , after it all the comics and games and films came , and its a great sequel
Come on guys (especially Patreon guys) they gotta watch the Alien and Predator films in subsequent order. Like definitely the next two alien films and absolutely Predator 2. Would be a disservice to themselves and the fans of the films to not watch em leading up to the first AvP
11:07 cats always ride free on ships. They kill little pests. They are very territorial animals and love their ships. Its a bigger and more exciting place than any apartment of today. I bet every old sailorship cat though it was the actual captain. Its part of history and im sure if we ever invent space travel (to a degree that mining, trade ect is possible) cats will be on board with us. Killing mice, rats and anything small that shts in the ventilaton system or something. And the cats will love it!
Ridley Scott’s design of the slime was inspired by the artwork of H.R. Giger. If you google image his name you’ll see why and how sexual the art was lol.
People, you need to read and pay attention. All movie you keep asking about things already had been explained, but didn't pay attention, talking over the movie.
Jonesey: Space Cat.
The only theory that makes sense to me is that he was a stowaway feline. I don't think that the "company", who had strict quarantine protocols in place would give consent to a furry mammal for space travel. Hence, Jones was probably discovered by the crew after launch and there was no turning back so to speak. No way would this cat survive the environment on it's own, so I'm guessing that he was sharing the sleep pod with Ripley. And with no Purina Cat chow on board, I'm sure Jones just ate what the crew ate. Also, since Jones was in hyper sleep for 57 years between the Alien and Aliens films, he holds the record for the "worlds oldest cat". Coupled with the hyper sleep time-line from this film, Jones clearly lived well past 60 years old. Maybe 70+.
You should really watch Predator 2 as well. The Pred trophy room near the end shows the Alien skull in the background.
That was the scene that lead to all the Alien vs Predator fan theories that caused it to actually happen years later.
Between this and Terminator, James Cameron put two female leads in films that showed how strong women can be, in a time when it wasn’t common for women to be seen as capable as men are. And it was the right call, since Sarah Connor and Ripley are two of the most badass and iconic women in film history.
This movie was directed by Ridley Scott, not James Cameron. Cameron directed the sequel, Aliens, in 1986.
Sarah Connor, Eleanor Ripley and Leia Organa are the trinity of OG bad ass female characters. Their character earned their respect. It didn’t feel like a cheap attempt to make a strong female character because they weren’t defined by their sex; they were great characters who happened to be female. I feel some of that has been lost in modern film. It’s like they’re reversed engineered now. I miss when the character mattered more.
Alita in Alita Battle Angel is another strong, determined female character (cyborg). The WOKE people criticized Cameron because Alita, who was a a badass warrior with martial arts ability, had a feminine body characteristic of a young woman; their criticism is ridiculous.
@@44excalibur Oh yeah I forgot. Still Cameron could've easily sidelined her if he was the type of person to do that, thankfully he didn't, and Ripley only grew stronger in the events of the second film.
Whoever designed and built the self destruct mechanism for this movie should have won an award. It just seems so real, like that's exactly how it would be if such things existed: Difficult to do so you could never accidentally do it (unlike Star Trek where it's only necessary for two crewmembers to concur to the ship's computer). I just love it, and of course the whole escape sequence is adrenaline pumping.
It isn't just two crew members concuring. It's two officers with command authority. Eg Captain & First officer or whoever is the next in line of command. It's not like ensign's bob & dave could order the ship to self destruct and have the command officers helpless to stop them.. 🤣 Lol...
@@Markus117d Still, only a few steps by command officers is all it takes, whereas on the Nostromo it is quite a bit more convoluted even though it can apparently be done by anyone with access to that area of the ship. You make a good point.
Ian Holm was truly in the movie of "The Fifth Element". Though I have seen this movie since I was a kid even though it kinda freaked me out but I enjoyed it 👍🏿
Guys INTERSTELLAR is a big must . My opinion the best movie of all time.
If they make another alien movie I wanna see one about Jones. That cat went through a lot in this movie stayed home for the sequel aliens, and because Ripley didn’t return home after the events of Alien three what happened to Jones??? Was he adopted did he starve to death??? I NEED TO KNOW 😹
Spoilers!
Ian Holm who played the science officer did play the priest in the 5th element - AND he played Bilbo in Fellowship of the Ring.
Prey, Predator, now Alien... This week has been hitting on my fav genre!!!
Actually guys the movie does not take place in 2037, but in 2122
Love your movie reactions thanks guys
Good! Ian Holm (Bishop) was the priest in 5th Element! John Hurt is also in this movie who played the wand merchant in Harry Potter. You may recognize Tom Skerrit as the Captain here, was also in Top Gun and many other movies. I'm trying to recall, but I believe Yaphet Koto was in the movie, though not positive. I'm glad you folks enjoyed the movie and thanks for sharing with us :)
Holm played Ash.
Lance Henriksen played Bishop in Aliens.
@@chungster666 Thanks for that correction. My faulty memory strikes again :)
Pff. "the priest from fifth Element". That there is Bilbo Baggins. ;)
And their captain was on Top Gun(Tom Skerritt).
Alien and Predator are awesome classics :D Glad you guys are checking these out.
I don’t know what u r skipping Predator 2, they show a lot about Why Predators are the way they are in that Movie! After the Original Predator, P2 is where we can see a lot of the Predator behavior and actions, specially in a City. Anthony u and Casey should watch all of the movies.
There's a great deleted scene, which I believe is in the directors cut, where the alien encounters Jones the cat towards the end, and doesn't harm him. Many think it's because the alien it was too small to be a host, , but I think it recognized a fellow remorseless killer (which cats are to small animals) and respectfully went on its way.
You two: We watched Prometheus when we were teenagers!
Me, who watched Prometheus almost a decade after college: Guess I'll turn to dust, then.
Alien takes place in 2122 apparently.
Big disservice if you skip Predator 2 especially if you're going to get into AVP if it wasn't for Predator 2 there would be absolutely no Alien versus Predator definitely a must
It used to be common to bring cats onto large boats for pest control so it's safe to say Jones was allowed on the Nostromo for the same reason. As for the Xenomorph itself, it was designed with many sexual themes in mind. The Alien series and the predator series only really exist together through comics and 2 pretty bad movies. Within the Alien franchise, Predators do not exist and vice versa.
You've got to watch Predator 2 before you watch AvP because Predator 2 connects the franchises. It's cheesy goodness.
The idea for the Alien v Predator movie actually came from a comic book in the late 1980s called Aliens vs. Predator, which was published by Dark Horse Comics. The Aliens vs. Predator comic was a very different story from the movies. It was set in the same futuristic universe created by Ridley Scott and James Cameron in Alien and Aliens, and was set on another planet shortly after the events of James Cameron's Aliens. The Alien v Predator movie kept some elements from the comic, like the partnership between the female character and the Predator, but radically changed everything else, transferring the story to Earth in the present day, in Antarctica, a move most likely inspired by John Carpenter's The Thing and H.P. Lovecraft's At The Mountains of Madness.
This is such a fun journey to follow you guys thru! I’m team predator all the way. But I love the artist H.R. Giger who did the concept at for the alien xenomorphs!
He was a amazing visionary.
Passengers I can accept you not watching, but Interstellar is a must for sci-fi fans. I absolutely loved it. My favourite Nolan movie.
I'm sure you saw all the comments from the first Predator reaction, but yeah, Predator 2 is definitely where the lore expands the most and what sets the stage for pretty much everything else. Don't let the Rotten Tomatoes score fool you, it's every fan's favorite film besides the original, at least up until recently. It features the coolest looking Predator IMO and it's the only other Predator that's played by the original actor (Kevin Peter Hall) and uses the suit made by the original designer, the legendary Stan Winston, so the creature is badass. You also see way more of it and it's gadgets than any other film.
“Why is he creamy?” 😂😂😂
This is a classic. But nothing tops Aliens! That is a freaking all time great. I remember watching that at the theater. Yeah I'm that old. :) one character has so many punchlines in that movie. That to this day I remember and use. He made the movie for me. Well besides all the incredible action. Just one of the best sequels ever.

RIP John Hurt!! only John Hurt, Ridley Scott and the effects guy knew about the dinner/chest-burster scene so the other casts reactions were more real
Me and my buddy watched this movie on acid and ultimately decided it was the greatest movie ever made. Even after coming down, I haven’t changed my mind.
This movie is a masterpiece, starting from the very first frame with Jerry Goldsmith's ambient score that fills you with a sense of dread and loneliness starting with the unique title sequence. Just an amazing tour-de-force of all involved. The direct sequel, _Aliens,_ is also excellent but is a very different movie. While the first one is a slow burn atmospheric horror movie that happens to take place in space, the sequel is more of a straight up action sci-fi movie with horror elements. If I had to choose between the two though, I'd choose the first one by a hair. The final 10 minutes, starting from the self-destruct sequence initiation, is just edge of your seat awesome.
Believe it or not, but one of the discussed endings for the movie (but ultimately shot down) was to have the alien kill Ripley in the escape shuttle, climb into the pilot's chair, press some buttons on the console and then call for an S.O.S.....in Captain Dallas' voice!
girl your predator obsession is so funny and im here for it
