Tony, Johanna, and Joe take a look back quite possibly the best Sci Fi Horror film ever made. In this movie review/podcast they will talk about all the things that make this movie great. Everything from the brilliant designs by Ron Cobb and H.R. Giger, The top notch writing, and the iconic scene that made this film an instant classic.
UA-cam search Alien 3
In deep space, the crew of the commercial starship Nostromo is awakened from their cryo-sleep capsules halfway through their journey home to investigate a distress call from an alien vessel. The terror begins when the crew encounters a nest of eggs inside the alien ship. An organism from inside an egg leaps out and attaches itself to one of the crew, causing him to fall into a coma.

Umm in the novel I think that Jones the cat is getting his cage shook buy the alien. Was like oh that will not fly on the film for animal rights. lol. Alien wanted a kitty snack.
I never want to hear a grown man talk about shaving his balls again.😝
Please never lose Jessica as the editor. And pay her more.
Update they lost her because they wanted her for Experience and Exposure 😉
@@wbcwinnipegbeltcollector What the hell is Experience and Exposure?
@@wbcwinnipegbeltcollector that does not make sense... Oh, and the Jets suck. The Oil will crush them!
@TheRealBGregz what interns get "paid in" and If you don't get the joke, watch more Jessica HTM episodes
@@wbcwinnipegbeltcollector The way you capitalized both words made it seem like it was the title of another show.
its the 70s. You could smoke in space back then. Charleton Heston smoked a cigar in the spaceship in Planet of the Apes.
The Alien trailer is still one of the best ever.
There's no dialogue in it and nothing gets spoiled (too much).
Much like the film itself a lot of it is mood and atmosphere.
I think film makers were more involved with trailers back in the day today they hire outside marketing and they’ll sometimes film their own scenes to spice it up
I want to thank Jennifer Lawrence for being the first ever woman to star in an action movie, STUNNING AND BRAVE! Paving the way for actresses like Sigourney Weaver.
You mean the Reverse of that!
You guys gotta do “Return of the Living Dead” that’s a great movie with an insane behind the scenes lol.
Ya I’m still waiting for that review. It’s the greatest zombie movie!
I hope at least 10 minutes of it are about how Dan O'Bannon is a talent-less hack who rode the coattails of far more talented writers to success. Almost everything he ever wrote was re-written to the point where it wasnt even the same script anymore.
Couldn't agree more. DO YOU WANNA PARTY?
I’ve never looked into the behind the scenes of that flick but I’ve loved it since childhood.
@@SamuraiCypher same. I think I was 10 when I first saw it
every episode Joe from Movie Dumpster is in is 🔥🔥🔥
Yes, indeed. His co-host isn’t great, though (in my opinion).
Alien isn't great. It's a goddamned cinematic classic.
Here's a fun fact about Dark Star, the feet on the beach ball alien were used as the dog tongue appendage during the kennel scene in The Thing
Oh man, when that sort of flower looking piece opens up?! That's wild! -Joe
It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, it made $200 million dollars against an $11 million dollar budget, it's one of the scariest motion pictures ever made, it spawned 3 Sequels 2 spinoff films and 2 crossover films.
@@600wheel I am! Lol!!
And most importantly....
It's a really good movie.
Booooooo
and a tv show is in the works
The official sequels stopped at 2
When I was 5 years old in 1990, HBO was running Alien, Star Wars, and Spaceballs regularly. I never watched movies in full, just in pieces between playing with my toys and running around. So I'd get the three confused, mixing scenes from movie to movie. I'd watch Alien and expect the little alien to start dancing in the chestburster scene. Stayed confused for years until I was able to mentally separate the three.
Joe is just naturally funny. a great add on to the show!
Agreed. I’m not a big fan of his co-host on Movie Dumpster, though 😕
RIP:
- John Hurt
- Harry Dean Stanton
- Ian Holm
- Yaphett Kotto
- H.R. Giger
This film is phenomenal. The score is haunting yet gorgeous, the alien is something out if your worst nightmare, the casting, cinematography. It's one of my go to horror films everyday and I'm always entertained
i absolutely love alien but ailen 3 holds a special place in my heart
That's something we didn't really talk about, but the score is so excellent! -Joe
I always had the impression Jonesy was Brett's cat. Ripley kind of adopted him by the end.
I loved all the behind the scenes info you guys talked about.
JAWLS 38:42
The editing in Alien is a master class.
I love how at 1:10:07 Joe and Johanna make the same motion about Tony’s dead body 🤣
The most interesting thing about Alien 4 is the french director. His previous movie was The City of The Lost Children which is a must watch for diversified film knowledge. Its a very stylistic and freaky movie. Its also Ron Perlman’s first staring role. He brought back Perlman and Pinon for Alien 4. You can also see much of his signature filming style like the use of fish lense etc.. Watching City of the Lost Children and then Alien 4 makes it a more interesting movie. DO IT!
EXACTLY! Rewatching it after gaining an appreciation for Jean-Pierre Jeunet's films was a game changer. Now I really enjoy it. Is it Alien/Aliens good? Not quite, but it stands out on its own quite well if you view them more like an anthology series with different directors, each with their own signatures.
Of the directors cut, the cocoon scene near the end is the one scene I like. While I understand the point of view that it interrupts the pacing, I actually think that splicing that moment into a frenetic escape sequence is a chilling reprieve.
And while I get that some find that the deleted "crab walk" scene to be goofy, I think that taken alone it is jarring in so far that we cannot yet figure out the Alien's strange and bizarre behavior.
The mystery and ambiguity surrounding the origins of both the Space Jockey and Alien species, their motivations, and their reproductive cycle is something which makes Alien such an effective film.
There is always nuance lost in subsequent films when they try to explain everything away.
It's so great to see Tony, Joe, and Johanna review the second prequel to Alien 3. I love characters, the suspense around the alien itself, and the jump moments where the alien grabs the victim.
The 2nd prequel. Love it
In space, no one can hear you talk about tapes.
Lol at how annoyed the other 2 got when Mr Important answered his phone
Honest to God ...
a guy who worked on the Nostromo back in the day , lives in my area ( and I live in Greece ) .
Talk to him endlessly about movies whenever I happen to run into him .
I don't think there are enough words in the English dictionary to describe how much I love Alien. It's a masterpiece. #HYPE
R.I.P. Jerry Goldsmith (1929-2004)
I remember as a teen getting the book Giger's Alien. I loved the art, the designs, all of it. Fell in love with Giger's work, and the entire franchise from that moment on
I may still YT search Alien 3 out of habit
Love these movies. Whilst aliens is my favorite film of all time, I watch the first 2 films at least once every year. I remember being a kid being blown away by these films. Thanks dad, seeing these under the age of 10 really shaped my tastes.
30:49 How could you forget the sipping bird from Darkman?
“Those movies don’t exist.” I’m glad I’m not alone in this.
Ridley Scott somehow ruins Alien lore worse than Alien 3 and Resurrection AND Alien vs Predator movies! How is that possible?
In 1979, the VCR wars had been won by VHS, but I used them to time shift regular TV shows of the time. I saw "Alien" in the same ex-Cinerama theater that had shown "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968). TV and print advertising used they mysterious line: "In space nobody can hear you scream." The slow appearance of the line segments making up the title raised the tension bit by bit. The appearance of the "Nostromo" had a reassuring "Star Wars-y" feel that was undercut by the claustrophobic, all-tubular interior. Sigourney Weaver was "the new kid on the block," among veteran character/leading man actors. "Third Officer Ripley" in this and the next movie became, along with Linda Hamilton's "Sarah Connor," Badass Heroic characters. All in all, a movie that has stood the test of time, scaring naive UA-cam viewers ever since.;)
The day you cover Alien 3 is gonna be so surreal
Okay I'm just spit balling here but how about another cross over? Hack the Movies presents, " Alien vs Blair Witch:Covenant of Shadows"
Weyland-Yutani has their company picnic in the Black Hills. Everything's going well until Ripley says, "Uh oh! I brought the wrong eggs for the egg toss! After chests burst the aliens quickly fan out to camp throughout the forest. One of them picks up a dead employee's camcorder. What will the Blair Witch do to rid her woods of those pesky space critters?
This was an amazing episode. One of my favorites.
I really can't remember the first time I saw Alien. I think it was after Alien 3 came out. I was 14/15 years old.
I do remember seeing Predator for the first time. I was so captivated by that movie...it's such an action thrillride :o
I was 12/13 years old (1989/1990).
I also kinda remember the first time my mother saw Predator...and she also loved it!
I first saw it on beta max, in the mid 80's.
I always assumed the reason it didn't eat through the hull in Resurrection was because the molecular acid was diluted now since the genetic mixing of their blood and Ripley's. I've thought about all these a thousand times because it's my favorite film franchise and Alien is my favorite movie.
P.S. All of those short films were at least ok. If I remember right there was one of them that was so-so.
I was 11 when I saw Alien in theaters in 1979! Man time flies. The tv ads were creepy, the poster iconic and one of the best taglines ever. The 18” Alien action figure, was when I first decided to display and not play, with a toy! Wish I still had it.
One of my all time favorite movies.
Finally the beginning of the great alien talks!
Thanks Tony for another awesome video!
About 10 minutes into this review you mentioned "The Strange Thing About the Johnsons". This was the second time that I had heard you talk about that short film, so I thought that I would give it a look. I paused this video, and watched that one. Now I can never feel clean again.
In space no one can hear you fart.
😄
Edit: This is a perfect review for a Space Cat cameo.
1:27:30 Don't forget your pet in horror movies scenes.
1:36:10 Jonesy in the box
The not watching movies after 1996 line really speaks to me. It was all down hill after Event Horizon in '97. 😄
I'm watching this in the middle of the night and Jesus Christ that Extra movie clip scared the crap out of me!!!
Think the dipping birds are perpetual motion devices.
Great episode guys, such an iconic movie! Tony you mentioned about trying keep the episodes shorter, but honestly I listen to your reviews at work and it really makes the workday better. The longer the episode the better as far as I’m concerned 👍👍
“Alien 3 is Fun and Fine.” -Tony in about ten years, probably
ill sell my alien head dvd boxset for $500!
One of my favorite movies. I watch it every few years
Another fantabulous broadcast from HTM. Feckin marvelous, fantastico! One of my fave movies. Thanks guys, mucho gracias.
Johanna, don't put up with Tony's bullshit. I love it when you and Crystal call Tony out on his crap.
Same
After all the build up, the Alien 3 review better be next level. Tony, I expect you to shave your head for this one.
I greatly enjoyed this review, like the last. Thank you. I particularly appreciate the reading of the Space Jockey's background information and Tony's passion for Alien.
Thanks for everything, Tony.
You're welcome.
" I love puppets and monsters " such a relatable quote because I've said this several times when ice shown friends movies I enjoy lmao
I MUCH prefer the backstory of The Engineers as provided by that Alien magazine to anything Ridley Scott cooked up for Prometheus, that's for damn sure.
I have always heard people call them dinky birds. I was just piecing this together how the space jockey has like an elephant trunk in his helmet maybe the helmet prevents the face hugger from getting a grip and impregnating him.
Tony Vs Johanna: Requiem
another awesome review guys keep up all the good work you do and for movie dumpster you guys rock cant wait for the next reviews from both of you guys always keep moving forwards never backwards
As always a pleasure to watch your vids.
Good episode fellas and I really been enjoying all the stuff Tony has been doing with the dumpster boys on Patreon good shit all around
Sigourney Weaver actually wanted to be naked in that final scene. Ridley and Sigourney had the idea that the alien would be fascinated by her pink flesh. The studio blocked it.
Tony and everyBody from Hack the Movies verse. Thank you for the important content. Especially KBranno.
I love the weaver alien movies.
Some random fun facts.
First, Dark Horse Comics eventually published a hardcover a few years ago that is a graphic novel adaptation of o'bannon's original script and story idea.
Two, for decades Dark Horse Comics carefully curated the setting. They published Books and Comics that explored aliens, predator, Robocop, and Terminator.
With regards to alien, the idea was that the engineers were one of the oldest species in the universe, supremely arrogant, and used the entire galaxy as their plaything. In one of the early novels published, people's travel to a world where they find that the engineers have been harvesting the aliens and placing them on other planets, I believe the logic was to see what they would evolve into on different worlds.
The Predators also seed worlds because they need to find things to hunt. They will drop off some alien eggs on a planet and then travel back some years later to find out what they can fight.
Dark Horse Comics also did an adaptation of the original script for Alien 3, Earth hive. Which was also adapted into a novel.
Then 20th Century Fox was purchased by Disney, Disney ended all of the contracts and brought everything in house, and now technically the alien queen is a Disney princess and I bet you the bottom dollar they will eventually put out a comic like that.
Finally, Ridley Scott is a hack. Everything he's ever done that is really popular, is something that he adapted from somebody else or had a lot of really qualified people working with him. Blade Runner was a product of Philip K dick, and if nobody had stops Ridley Scott he would have had Decker be an Android which defeated the purpose of the original story and the movie in terms of themes. What stands out most in that movie is the set design and the acting, not anything that Ridley Scott put in.
Alien is the product of O'Bannon, and I agree with your co-host in that it is a crime that he is not more heavily credited with it.
I say that because when he decided to do Prometheus and Covenant with linderhof, he claimed that he was making science fiction great again and restoring his franchise. The result is scientist that act like idiots, and the fact that the alien menace is because of a horny Android
1:37:09 Tony: "Why is Joanna talking about her Muff??? Thats kinda weird..."
Release the Silverman cut!
Walter Hill directed The Warriors. I thank God that I saw that movie as a kid. That movie got me into film and theater.
For every shot where the effects are noticable there are several others in Alien 2 that would still hold up today. for example the face hugger hunting Ripley and Newt. It's just mind-blowing how realistic it looks.
We need the Alien 3 review!
I just want to say first off that i freaking love Jessica's edits. But also this was a fantastic episode guys and keep up the great work.
They also used a 'dipping bird' in "Darkman" (@ 30:48-31:27).
Alien 3
"Bolaje looked so miserable in all his production photos."
Then Jessica cuts to the happiest xenomorph I think I've ever SEEN. DAMN those teeth are white for a man from the 70's!
Yea, the ONE picture of him smiling 😂 -Joe
*Bolaji.
Another EPIC Review of a HORROR/SCI-FI Classic ,,,,,Keep up the Awesome Work My Friends 😃🤘🤘
I dont understand how Tony doesnt like Ghostbusters Afterlife. Thats a fantastic movie
I dunno, those doors look more like Tony's eyes
Loved this review! With that said....
Alien 3 dudes!!!!!
Surprised it took you this long to get to Alien
The self destruct is 10 minutes long. The 5 minutes is the cutoff for cancelling it. But, yeah, an hour would be nice. Also, Sigourney Weaver had actually suggested to be naked in the end of the film. However, Ridley Scott decided to keep her in underwear.
glad to see they knew about dark star. not a lot of people know about that movie.
We talk about it a bit more in the John carpenter episode
Hyped
I have the same version on VHS. Thought the text was re-done as well... computer text did not look like that in the late 70s.
We all know the star of the Alien Franchise is Jonesy.
I swear Ghostbusters Afterlife has become Tony's new Mummy cop/Dark Knight Rises, he keeps mentioning it in almost every new episode
1:16:02 I was curious as well to see if Ash said Kane’s son or Kane size. I put the subtitles on and it’s Kane’s son which makes sense of why Ash described the alien as Kane’s son since the Alien bursted out of his chest.
I have prince of darkness on dvds..
I have a hard time giving a specific rank to anything I really like, but Alien is absolutely my favourite movie and has been since I was young... Caught it on TV and I think I was maybe just under 10 years old. It scared the daylights out of me but then I fell in love with the movies, I still enjoyed Alien 3 for what it was... Alien 4 came along at the right time, saw it in theatres and loved it because it was the first I was actually able to see on the big screen. The love of the 4th movie isn't there anymore, as I've aged from angsty edgy teen to adult its faults jump out to me too much to enjoy it properly despite the fact it may have some neat ideas. Anyway, just felt like sharing that. I still watch Alien every year for Halloween, and I usually try to sneak Aliens in somewhere throughout the year.
Alien is still my favorite of the series. It had a tone and atmosphere that none of the sequels were able to replicate. The score by Jerry Goldsmith is also the best of the series. It adds a lush and almost mystical feel to this movie. It’s a near perfect film.
Hmm doing a HacktheMovies Episode on Alien, I guess it will be in April they'll do a HacktheMovies Episode on Aliens then on May 22 they do a HacktheMovies Episode on Alien3.
they used to smoke on planes..................
Always reminds me of the Mad TV skit and they all say "what's wrong with judas?". Lol.
One down, two to go.
Jeanette Goldstein did brown face. My name is Vasquez, and it’s one of my favorite horror films, so I’ll allow it 😂
"She saw 'Alien' and thought it said 'illegal alien' and signed up." true story 😂
You guys gotta do Galaxy Of Terror
If there is some chance pleas do review of Twin Peaks S03. In my mind this would be really great.
Have you noticed that the actors who died in the movie passed away in the same order?
Can't wait for the whole trilogy to be reviewed!
i hope that they aren't to harsh on alien 3 and go in-depth with the production whoe's that cursed the movie
@@torquetheprisoner I would hope so.
I’ve just realised that had Dallas checked the details of mothers message regarding LV426 then he’d have seen the details about acquiring the organism and the crew being expendable and not landed
