I remember this scene when I first saw it as a kid back in '79. The level of dread and apprehension was almost too much to bear but I couldn't look away. True Horror at the most primal level. It reminds me when I first saw a dead person at the park (suicide) and it was my first encounter with a dead inanimate human being. Creepy as hell and it stays with you forever.
The Alien Isolation game had a segment where one actually gets to access and view the derelict. They did a fantastic job capturing the ambiance of that encounter.
Diomedes01 one of the reasons why ilove that game so much. to actually walk around in the derelict ship, discover the space jockey, finding out about the Nostromo crew.... for a true blue Alien fan this level was like a dream come true. way different from any other Alien game, but it really is just like you're in an Alien movie where you cannot simply grab a gun and mow down armies of Xenomorphs like it's just another day at the beach. in Isolation you are just as fucked with a gun as you are without one if you become careless.
Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo, third officer reporting. The other members of the crew - Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash and Captain Dallas - are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.
my imagination ran wild when I first saw this as a kid. It scared me but I always wanted to know what these things really were... it's still an awesome thing to imagine.
leave it alone Ridley. it doesn't need fixing or changing.it's not a man in a spacesuit. it's a biomechanical horror from the unimaginable voids of the universe. the best we can hope for is to stay quiet & hope whatever it is doesn't notice us or our little planet & continues on it's journey. then we can spend the rest of our lives trying to convince ourselves we never saw it.
+sulacomarine What was your Special Order? You read it. I thought it was clear. Nostramo re-routed to new coordinates. Investigate lifeform, gather species. All other priorities rescinded. Crew expendable.
While Aliens woz a outstanding sequel, this film remains an absolute classic and the best in my opinion. The less said about Alien 3 and Alien ressurection the better, altho they r watchable enuff. first saw this on itv way back in 1981 i think at about 9.30 when it woz first premiered! The soundtrack is just simply awesome and portrays the tension and eerieness thruout!
Great tribute to one of the best sequences in film, period. Also a sad reminder of how much Ridley Scott has declined as a director. "Alien" was effective partially because of the mystery surrounding the Space Jockey. Once Ridley decided they were actually Gold's Gym albinos in a silly spacesuit, that was pretty much it. I don't have much hope for "Alien: Romulus" either. All the mystery is gone...
In Alien, Kane's attack by the facehugger was more convincing than what happened in Prometheus... It was because of pure curiosity of the unknown. In Prometheus, it was pure stupidity... Never try to pet an Alien King Cobra!
redeemer6666 I'm glad that Blomkamp didn't get to do it, he's an incredibly overrated director and writer and I don't want an Aliens rethread. Ridley Scott being senile and not knowing how to do a proper Space jockey movie doesn't mean Blomkamp is a good director and writer and that bringing back Ripley is a good idea. We don't need any more Ripley stories, if you treat Alien 3 as not canon, then her arc ended with Aliens since she defeated her demons, found a new daughter and there was no loose threads, it didn't end on a cliffhanger.
I remember seeing the dead Engineer (I know, "space jockey" back in the day) out in front of the Egyptian Theater on opening day. We didn't know much about the movie, but it was at that moment that we knew we weren't going to see a Star Wars knockoff.
1:39 sounds eerily similar to the part in Jaws when Hooper gets up close to the hole at the bottom of the fisherman's boat and peers into it, right before the decapitated head pops out.
One of the creepiest scene in the entire movie. The Chairman with the huge Telescope. In childhood alwayz wondered what the hell was he lookin at with that huge telescope. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
When i watched this for the first time as a child i was terrified of this scene the creepy ass "elephant man" which i called him always gave me nightmares
Is the CD available for the FILM version? I have the commercial version, which is significantly different. Only a few tracks are the same. I'd really love to hear this in my room on my CD player.
My initial thoughts was when the crew entered the derelict i had to rub my eyes twice as it's interiors were constructed of these huge bones, no no nope best be on my way.
I enjoy Prometheus, just as a big budget goof, but my canon stays and ends with the original Alien. The space jockey is still this mysterious elephantine creature that's just one random example of our limited view of the universe. In my mind, the space jockey is a race that is sorta like us: they don't have any of the answers, and they're just doing their thing and they happened to come across a deadly alien species.
"...fossilized... looks like its grown out of the chair..." Really wish Prometheus touched on that. I think it made Alien even stranger. How could something long dead and fossilized keep growing?
Yeah Prometheus was pretty disappointing didn't know what it wanted to be and tried to be too detached from the originals for its own good poorly written but realized as best as it could I guess

Another great game named Duskers where you can pilot drones for explore derelicts is very good too.
The single best moment Ive ever experienced in a video game.
First two Alien series were the best sci-fi horrors in all cinematic history.
Amen to that
Aliens were more of action but alien was creepier and lot of questionz were put in the mind
@@yuvarudra6602 Hence why Alien 3 is second place for me behind Alien
@@guykrawinkel4500 alien 3 was a little crap.
I do not agree.Alien 2 only shows how good Alien was.

Alien life form. Looks like he's been dead along time. Fossilised. The bones are bent outward, like he exploded from the inside...
Only for Ridley Scott to ruin it by magically turning the bones into a space suit.
@@Surgicaldamage I guess the Jockey was about 150% size of the engineer. This thing was huge
I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded ....
Best movie ever!!!!

Brother, you took the words out of my mouth.
Totally. Prometheus was such a weak cop out, I don't even consider it canon.
This was never said.
Oh dear. This is making me want to play Alien Isolation AGAIN.
Who the hell disliked this video? Ash, is that you??

best piece of music in this album
THANK YOU SO MUCH! GREAT JOB! Perfect sound and video background for my Nemesis game night with friends!!! THANKS!!!
Let's get the hell out of here.
Michael Berry Should have listened to Lambert!🤨👩🚀
Yup! Half an hour into the nightmare-fuel that is Alien before someone says something sensible.
We must go on, we gotta go on!
They should have listened to Ripley too and followed protocol after Kane got face hugged.
Bones are bent outward, like he exploded from inside.
Who is Mr Blank Let's get the hell outta here.
Get that guy some pepto bismal!
Looks like it is growing out of the chair. It's been dead a long time.....fossilized.
you made the best quality version of this song

Prometheus's naturalist was having a Steve Irwin/Stingray moment...
Over time, some scenes in Alien also seem pretty silly. At the same time, the first Alien is still the best in the series for me.
They don't make them like they used too. Movies today don't have the sane feel or impact like these did
Amazing
I feel sad for the Space Jockey.
+Guy Krawinkel I used to... But then in Prometheus they turned out to be really tall bald headed steroid junkies.
Prometheus makes me feel sad for the Space Jokey
Retro Brothers
That's just Ridley Scott suffering from George Lucas syndrome and shouldn't been taken seriously.

redeemer6666 Alien is a horror franchise there are no happy endings A3 is the real ending
Great job on the strings in here!

If i found an alien ship with dead creature and unknown eggs, i'd get my ass out of there in the second instead of investigating it =)
They had to or else they wouldn't get paid
Yourgs Vazouras
this concerns landing and looking, not sticking your face next to an unknow life form lol
My curiosity would be too big, sadly. I would be just as fucked as Kane.
They forgot to take a selfie with the giant man 😨
You don’t want to stay for the free hugs?
Amazing work really inspirational great job.
great sequence ever !!!
When i watched this for the first time as a child i was terrified of this scene the creepy ass "elephant man" which i called him always gave me nightmares
it's been dead a long time
1:20 Those look like bones to me, not a spacesuit from a sequel/prequel.
"Let's get the hell outa here."
beautiful music
This is the best szene in our horromovies !!!
Very soon Alien Queen will find out how Ripley did first xeno dirty...by watching this FILM, they will come to watch it lol as evidence
The music is really scary. Even without a movie
I Think this scene was more creppy than the alien
There just an Odd atmosphere in the scene
It would be SO awesome if they blessed us with this track on Covenant.....
It is
Scary stuff!
note - "Looks like it's growing out of the chair."
not, "oh it's a suit."
Looks like it's been dead a long time
_Fossilized_
No this is heaven👽
a great American composer the best in fact jerry goldsmith. and a great British orchestra the national philharmonic
Excellent insectoid sounds
"Exploded from inside."
Is the CD available for the FILM version? I have the commercial version, which is significantly different. Only a few tracks are the same. I'd really love to hear this in my room on my CD player.
Sorry I'm no help. I only got it on cassette before there was such a thing as CDs.
Now the Derelect is dead and abandend
An old relic deserted on a cold Moon...
sick
Does anybody else see a human skull in the mummified alien's head when they leave the body behind? It's always caught my attention...
"Ash are you seeing this"
In the movie, I swear you can hear faint whispering in this scene.
THE SPACE JOCKEY!!! ENTER THE DERELICT
My initial thoughts was when the crew entered the derelict i had to rub my eyes twice as it's interiors were constructed of these huge bones, no no nope best be on my way.
"Let's get the hell outta here."
If only they had listened to Lambert...
This tune reminds me of how I thought the alien didn't know what to do with its victims. It just did stuff.
I think it would have been more prudent of Kane to look for a stick to poke the egg first.
were the the flutes in Prometheus supposed to be a kind of homage to this score?
Who knows, man, that film and sequel are a mess. Anyway, you do the fingering.

In space no one can here you dream💤💤💤💤💤👍🏻
I wonder what the Xenomorph that emerged from the Space Jockey looked like?
Maybe like the Deacon from Prometheus.
Jokexenomorph
The qustion is where did it go?
@@johndetheshape3095 I assume to lay the eggs in the chamber underneath the Space Jockey/Engineer.
Yeah Prometheus was pretty disappointing didn't know what it wanted to be and tried to be too detached from the originals for its own good poorly written but realized as best as it could I guess
***** As long as they don't get Damon Lindelof on the sequel, it should be better than the first movie.
+sulacomarine it's being written by the writers of Green Lantern and Transcendence. We're fucked.
