That's because they built an a tual life sized mockup out of plywood to film in. There are behind the scenes j ages of the whole set on a soundstage it's actually pretty cool
The scene with Bret and Parker fixing the ship was better than the one they left in. It gave Brett a bit more personality and showed the tension between the engineers and Ripley.
Veronica Cartwright's naturalistic acting made her character's fear so believable. The character of Lambert is the surrogate for the audience (as has been described many times). Yes, there are so many great performances in this film, but VC's is right up there at the top. Heck, just the audio (which Ripley hears over the Nostromo's intercom) of her off-screen death scene -- her panic hyperventilations and final scream -- is nightmare fuel.
@Deuterium2H, Yes Veronica C. did an excellent job in her role as “Lambert.” I found out awhile back that Veronica C. was actually in the classic Alfred Hitchcock movie “The Birds.” I think she was probably around 9 or 10 years old when she was in this film, but then I’m not exactly sure.
@@roxanneweichinger9318 She is just a terrific actress. She was also really good as Gus Grissom's wife in "The Right Stuff". Check that film out, if you have never seen it. One of the all time great films.
@@Deuterium2H , I vaguely remember that film, I saw it years ago. I believe it had something to do with NASA. V.C. was also in “The Three Witches Of Eastwick,” she was great in that film as well.
Her reaction upon finally seeing the full-grown alien was fantastic. We as the audience knew what it looked like, but that was her first encounter with it. I mean...what do you do when something like that has you cornered?! And then her screams...nightmare fuel.
It's a shame we couldn't have seen a bit of these, especially the extra Ripley and Lambert scenes. Showing how they are relate to each other when not just yelling in urgency, but little moments of humanity with on another.
ALL The Scenes from 10:45 onwards I'd say were needed in the Film. Especially if the Airlock Scene were completed as it explains why Parker goes from Tough Guy (Before he sees it alone in it's entirety) - to Scared out of his wits guy - and back to tough guy trying to save Lambert
I agree, 9153, these scenes bring the plot to life even more than they already are. The "crew discussing options" scene, 10:50 is great, it's all one take, no cuts or anything. But one question always sticks with me: How did Dallas and Lambert carry the unconscious and 75+lbs-of-suit-and-gear Kane back to the Nostromo, and in the deleted scenes for Aliens, Newt's parents go the same alien ship and the father gets a facehugger... how the H does Newt's mom by herself carry the dad back to the rover? An injured person, who can walk with assistance, but a out-cold person?? um plot hole??!
The only Scene that seemed the MOST Relevant to the film was the Cocooned Dallas scene. They way he pleaded with Ripley to kill him off because of his ungodly pain was So chilling, so unsettling, so gut churning, and so Terrifying it felt like the only one that would’ve fit the most.
The whole cocoon scene brings a good energetic and suspenseful part to a dead halt. It's cool to watch it now but kills the momentum of the end and the countdown
The egg morphing thing was very disturbing and adds to the ‘alienness’ and intrigue of the creature.It’s more frightening than a queen laying eggs in my opinion.
(12:24 AM, April 28, 2024) Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt and Veronica Cartwright are, until now, the true survivors of the "crew" of the spaceship Nostromo. Unfortunately, the remaining "crew" members have already passed away: RIP John Hurt (Jan 25, 2017), RIP Harry Dean Stanton (Sep 15, 2017), RIP Ian Holm (Jun 19, 2020) and RIP Yaphet Kotto (Mar 15, 2021). 😔
Yep, the two first opus were amazing and those scenes are really pleasant to watch. I'm playing Alien Isolation (2014) and the atmosphere is quiet the same.
I would love to have seen the complete airlock scene, Ash sets off the klaxon to warn the alien as it leaps clear of the airlock, the door traps it arm. I think its in the novel if memory serves
It would’ve been cool to see that even as a deleted scene. It scavenged and ate their food too in a script or novel from something that I heard. I’m not sure if that is true though
The scene of Kane prepping and then being lowered into hole (with Dallas and Lambert) was probably deleted because it makes the space jockey look less large and doesn’t match with earlier shot when Ridley used children to first encounter the space jockey (thereby making the pilot and the entire set interior look much larger).
I think it was a tad superfluous. We already see him lowered on a cable, it’s not really needed to explicitly show the audience the mechanism as to how.
I’ve never understood why Ash was shirtless under the medical scrubs🤷♂️ It was a strange decision IMO. I love this movie as well as Aliens. And these deleted scenes are like cherries on top.
@5:38 I wish he would’ve added a little bit of that. When you see Dallas and Lambert it makes it scarier imho. I also liked Ben Burtt’s Alien S.O.S. / warning signal audio better than what was used in the Director’s cut that was scarier also. I think it was a deleted scene on the laser disc.
Bet it's the same SOS signal that got put in the old 4 disc dvd boxset, it sounds completely different to every version they've used since which sucks, because yeah it sounded WAY scarier and almost like the being saying it was heaving its chest in a strained pant. The Bret coccoon scene was also scarier on the original DVD deleted scenes, with ripley's voice being WAY MORE panic stricken...... I'm pretty sure Ridley Scott made the Director's Cut against his will which he why he used the shitter version of each scene, OR like i maintain he's lost his edge and really doesn't give 2 f***s anymore, hence why he can't even properly decide what Roy is saying in Blade Runner....is it father or f***er now ridley? I give up keeping track >_
What I notice about it giving him the creeps, aside from so many things being non-coincidentally shaped like xenomorph body parts, is that for some odd reason the Nostromo's interior doesn't have very good lighting, even though they'd obviously need it.
In the scene @ 6:45 you can see by the windows on their sleeping bunks that they're still working with polymers, so my question is, how thick would a piece of their Plexiglass need to be, at 60 feet by 10 feet, to withstand the pressure of 18,000 cubic feet of water?
Brett: You've studied it, so what is it? Ash: Xenomorph, 7 feet, acid for blood, very fast and strong, grows super quick and have human intelligence. Our survival is 0% and it will cocoon you to the wall to morph you into an egg. Any other questions? Where's Ripley? Parker: Think that's her on the shuttle already gone...
You know.... I forget how good Alien was, The chemistry between the characters was monumental ! and how nobody suspected Ash was an Android. The company had to know that some thing was there that's why they put Ash on the ship anyway.
SO much tension in all those scenes. I would have enjoyed all but a couple of those scenes included. If there is one genre that is aided by drawing things out, it is horror.
The kane getting breakfast scene looks like an audition tape or him just running lines waiting for the rest of the cast. Needstge other actors lines spliced in there
EHHEM! The rest of that last scene, was never filmed.... however, there is a remnant of it still left in the movie believe it or not. Ever wonder why Ripley suddenly gets a nose bleed when comfronting ash? It makes NO SENSE in the retail movie because the scene that preceded it again was never filmed. Parker contacts lambert and Ripley, telling them its cornered by an airlock, stareing at a red flashing light. ripley would then have come on the opposite side, with the 2 of them silently communicating with each other, while the xenomorph stares at the spinner..... then ripley would hit the airlock button trying to seal it in, failed, causing the alien to get hurt would would then have caused a decompression event, giving ripley her nosebleed! ALIEN Isolation paid hommage to this unfilmed scene, by giving the xenomorph a chance to stare at the same time of red spinner light above airlocks ^^.
lol - thank you for making this! i was 19 when it came out! The captain "get back to work, lets get out of here' leaving ash to hide the fact an alien was on board! the others KNEW something was happening!
3:17 I never noticed this before, but the shape of those hatches look exactly like the shape of the face hugger's impregnating tube (or whatever it's called) 😅😝 Some of these are quite cool and add a fair bit without detracting from the pacing, especially 5:47, 9:06. And 10:47 reminds me of The Thing when they're all arguing about the blood. You can feel the worry, paranoia and uncertainty. 14:00 is awesome 😆
That scene Ripley promises to Lambert she will see to it they will get out alive is very sad, as lambert wanted so badly not to die, but horrifically she does… and she being asked if she slept with Ash, was extremely personal and stark, as the what is said during long periods of space travel and confined inside a ship, the Men and women, whatever they’re single or married, have intimacy with each other to fill the void and pass the time away… it was debated that Ripley herself had intimacy with Dallas as well… but in the end, Lambert’s death as well the others were all dismal and sad.
“Alien” was one of the best Sci-Fi films ever made. I thought the deleted scene where Ripley was trying to comfort Lambert was ok until she asked the other lady if she had slept with Ash. 😀I thought that was kind of an odd random question that Ripley just threw out there.
In the original script, the crew were genderless with “interchangeable parts” so as to accommodate each other’s needs during the long trips out… also, there was a sexual relationship between Ripley and Dallaswhich supports this narrative…. Edit: I did initially one of the characters wrong but double checked and it was Dallas.
Cutting scenes or leaving them in such a difficult task when your balls deep in your work. Got to have the ability to walk away from it and then try and see it from an outside perspective as to whether it adds or takes away from story. Similar to writing music you can add or subtract as much as you want but is whats right for the song. I dont think any of these scenes were missed at final or directors cut from my view and ive seen the movie dozens of times.
The 1979 film has more realism in 2 hours than that of the entire 50-60 years of the Star Trek franchise and many others too, the future in space will be a lot like the alien setting probably
I'VE GOT THIS MOVIE ON DVD AND SEGORNE WEAVER IS IN THIS MOVIE AND THE ALIEN WAS KILLED BY THE HOT EXOUST OUT OF THE BACK OF THIS SPACE SHIP AND SHE WAS A GREAT ACTOR IN THIS MOVIE 😁
Seeing this movie for the first time, not knowing anything about it, was an incredible experience. I remember being surprised so many times. "Holy shit, it burst out of his chest and it's a whole new thing!" "Wait, what?!? It's huge now!" "WTF, Ash is a robot?!?"
Now imagine seeing it for the first time, in the theater, as a 9 year old. Mom didn't realize what she was taking us to, that chest burster scene was life altering.
Today cigarette smoking is not a common occurrence and it’s banned on many places. Why did they thought people in the future would smoke in a spacecraft of all places? It’s a stupid attempt to make the characters look tough or rebellious.
Smoking was considered acceptable and perfectly normal behaviour when this movie was made. It shows that these people are your average working joes and that being in space is just considered a mondain job. You can't judge the past by modern day standards. The scene in Ghostbusters showing Ray's reaction to encountering Slimer for the first time wouldn't of been as funny without the cigarette dangling out of his mouth and some of the beautiful cinematography in Balde Runner wouldn't of existed if characters had all been non smokers.
A lot of these scenes are just shown from barely a few angles, or just one. As shown, they're unusable, they look amateurish. Maybe they filmed additional angles and just trashed the footage aside from some basic takes "for preservation purposes" which would be what we have been able to see
Recently i watched some video on the background of he making of Alien 3. no Wonder this Movie is crap. To be fair, there are a few things that feel Like Alien and fit in the Universe. But come on, by deliberatly destroying everything Part 2 has created just to be even more sinister and nihilistic than Alien 1 doesn‘t work. For real fans, the Saga ends here, allowing us to have some hope for the protagonists. Thats why alien worked in the First place, because ist about hope, strenght and surviving
@@redpillnibbler4423 The corporation knew a lot about the Alien before the movie even started. Why do you think they asked a freighter carrying rocks, comprised of silicon? and BTW the Alien species has an Exoskeleton comprised of silicon too, so basically the freight in the cargo compartment was Alien Food. They were preparing for hibernation with a last meal when the Alien popped out of him. Easily the problem with the plan was that they didn’t expect the Alien to pop out of Kane as soon as it did, and likely planned that the hibernation would also freeze the Alien inside of him. It would appear the Alien prequels may have been a backstory on how data and research was done on the Aliens before the first film, but now I’m not exactly sure.
@@KaosNova2 I thought you were referring to the idea of freezing Kane with the face hugger attached,at which point the crew members (except Ash) didn’t know about the alien life cycle.
My child, don't forget that I am with you in all your difficulties I never leave you! Just stay by my side.. through prayer | From Jesus to you | Today, the Lord tells you again that He is there, even if you don't see it, even if you don't feel it Jesus is your protector and your support!

The implied sexual overtones of Ripley’s and Lambert’s conversation and body language are odd. _”Have you ever slept with Ash?”_ The only thing I can think of that is relevant to that question is that Ripley suspects Ash an android, and the ability to have intercourse is a way to determine one’s humanity. There’s a scene in Prometheus that also alludes to this point, where the captain is questioning whether the lady commander is an android, who then offers him a sexual encounter seemingly as a way to prove she isn’t _(“My room….ten minutes”)._ But then Ripley touches Lambert affectionately which almost comes off as a pass, and Lambert’s response in her body language appears to rebuke this advance, so I can’t tell if that’s the reasoning for such an inquiry. A strange scene, and I can’t say it wasn’t a wise cut. I’m a bit baffled at what it’s trying to communicate, and I think it would have left the audience bewildered.
I always viewed the question as just a way to break the tension of the situation, give Lambert a laugh to help her calm down. As for her caressing her face and such, that again just came off as an attempt to comfort Lambert. It also reflects that maternal instinct since we would later find out Ripley had a daughter. We also got to remember that Ripley was intended to be a male character, too. The scene could have had the same meaning even then or just come off as playfully flirty.
Set design was phenomenal. Makes the world seem so real
It really does!!! And for the yr it was made in, they all did such a amazing job!!
Spaceship Nostromo and it’s interior are designed by the legendary French comic artist Möbius.
@@chrissyknowsitall5170Hasn't dated at all. Superb design work.

and he is only one sitting on the table where Kane dies and he is only one who doesn't care.
or bad writing. but i doubt it. sometimes writers use the same dialogue for different characters.
As a fan I appreciate seeing the deleted scenes but they don’t fit into the movie, thus I’m glad they were left out.
The water-drinking plastic birds always creeped me out for reasons I can't explain.
I thought they were miniature people like from Willy Wonka for some reason.
I would love to have seen the complete airlock scene, Ash sets off the klaxon to warn the alien as it leaps clear of the airlock, the door traps it arm. I think its in the novel if memory serves
In the novel the aliens arm is caught in the door so it tears it’s own limb off to escape.
Later on the alien has regrown it’s arm.
There have been a picture or two oit there showing it with the missing forearm. It was actually on the cover of a tie-in magazine at the time.
It would’ve been cool to see that even as a deleted scene. It scavenged and ate their food too in a script or novel from something that I heard. I’m not sure if that is true though

I think it was intended to verify if Ash is human. I don’t think androids can engage in intercourse, and Ripley is suspicious of Ash.
@rekunta,That explanation does make sense. When I saw “Alien” I could tell that Ripley was gradually becoming irritated with Ash.
Ash was a last minute replacement,Lambert would have barely known him let alone sleep with him.
In the original script, the crew were genderless with “interchangeable parts” so as to accommodate each other’s needs during the long trips out… also, there was a sexual relationship between Ripley and Dallaswhich supports this narrative….

Yeah, the original 20th Anniversary Edition, the stand-alone two-disc CEs, and the "Alien: Quadrilogy" set have them.

its because there is no music added music changes everything all films sound amaturish without the soundtrack
NO SE PORQUE ESTAS SCENAS NA LAS COLOCARON EN LA PELICULA. PUES SON BUENAS.
Ridley Scott made an 4h Napolenon unnecassery movie. What about this Alien movie with all deleted scenes ?
The cut scenes related to the xenomorph are completely cruel and stupid. Why are they really cut?
😂😂😂😂 oxygen rich environment so let’s have a ciggy……..not😂
These scenes are painful - they mostly look like rehearsal. One of the two things Ridley Scott is good at, is pacing and cutting out leaden action.

I have never understood why did Ripley asked Lambert if she has ever slept with Ash??? I didn't see one sign that she would.
Still creepy
That’s not all of the deleted scenes
👽 😱 😨 💀(BettyDavisEyes vs ResurrectionOffspringEyes)???😮
Was David creating alien

Once the clownpiece, Ridley Scott, got through trashing the backstory.
No it’s a stupid concept from the beginning and makes zero sense.
Recently i watched some video on the background of he making of Alien 3. no Wonder this Movie is crap. To be fair, there are a few things that feel Like Alien and fit in the Universe. But come on, by deliberatly destroying everything Part 2 has created just to be even more sinister and nihilistic than Alien 1 doesn‘t work. For real fans, the Saga ends here, allowing us to have some hope for the protagonists. Thats why alien worked in the First place, because ist about hope, strenght and surviving
So let me get this straight, the plan was to freeze the guy with the Alien still inside of him? Well that plan totally f$&ked up if that’s the case!
They didn’t know at that time an alien was inside him.
@@redpillnibbler4423 The corporation knew a lot about the Alien before the movie even started. Why do you think they asked a freighter carrying rocks, comprised of silicon? and BTW the Alien species has an Exoskeleton comprised of silicon too, so basically the freight in the cargo compartment was Alien Food. They were preparing for hibernation with a last meal when the Alien popped out of him. Easily the problem with the plan was that they didn’t expect the Alien to pop out of Kane as soon as it did, and likely planned that the hibernation would also freeze the Alien inside of him. It would appear the Alien prequels may have been a backstory on how data and research was done on the Aliens before the first film, but now I’m not exactly sure.

I thought you were referring to the idea of freezing Kane with the face hugger attached,at which point the crew members (except Ash) didn’t know about the alien life cycle.
@@KaosNova2aliens are not rock eaters - the corp sent a mining ship because those were the ships out there. there were no bakery ships.
@@russ254 Silicon. What contains that element in good concentrations?

Where's alien
Sitting in his dressing room. Not a very sociable fellow 😢😂
The implied sexual overtones of Ripley’s and Lambert’s conversation and body language are odd.
_”Have you ever slept with Ash?”_
The only thing I can think of that is relevant to that question is that Ripley suspects Ash an android, and the ability to have intercourse is a way to determine one’s humanity. There’s a scene in Prometheus that also alludes to this point, where the captain is questioning whether the lady commander is an android, who then offers him a sexual encounter seemingly as a way to prove she isn’t _(“My room….ten minutes”)._ But then Ripley touches Lambert affectionately which almost comes off as a pass, and Lambert’s response in her body language appears to rebuke this advance, so I can’t tell if that’s the reasoning for such an inquiry.
A strange scene, and I can’t say it wasn’t a wise cut. I’m a bit baffled at what it’s trying to communicate, and I think it would have left the audience bewildered.
It’s odd Ripley would ask Lambert if she slept with him,considering Ash was a last minute replacement.
I always viewed the question as just a way to break the tension of the situation, give Lambert a laugh to help her calm down.
As for her caressing her face and such, that again just came off as an attempt to comfort Lambert. It also reflects that maternal instinct since we would later find out Ripley had a daughter.
We also got to remember that Ripley was intended to be a male character, too. The scene could have had the same meaning even then or just come off as playfully flirty.
In the Alien Director’s Cut DVD, it’s explicitly stated in its description that the scene was intended to be viewed as romantic/sexually charged
