Fun Fact: Paul Reiser, the actor who plays Burke, says his Mom cheered when his character died.
Dang mission accomplished
I hated his character so much that I've had difficulty watching him in anything else since then.
Popular series "Mad about you"?
Nah, I'm still mad about Burke..
That means the actor did his job perfectly
@@HaohmaruHL I can't argue that
I don't think he should have died just then. He was a perfect candidate for impregnating. He couldn't even put up much of a fight. He should have ended up on a wall with a face hugger.
It could have been a cool scene if Burke and Newt were stuck on a wall near each other. A face hugger could have hatched and attached to Burke just before Ripley finds them. So Burke got what he deserved and saved Newt by accident.
"Get away from her you bitch!" One of my favorite lines of any movie ever.
Some of my favorite quotes:
Hudson: Game over man! Game over!
Hicks: We'll bomb it from orbit. Just to be sure.
Apone: What do you expect? Breakfast in bed?
@@Superion74 "Let's take off, nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." Was first said by Ripley ^^
Iconic line. Best ever....(other than ANYTHING said by Doc Holliday in Tombstone).
What tribe is that profile pic from?
@@Some_Average_Joe Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.
"Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?"
"No, have you?"
One of the best lines in cinema history. :)
So true
if not THE best (but these two actors made it so legendary)
That's still the best burn I've ever heard in a movie.
I still laugh out loud every time :D
The actress who played in aliens, also played in predator 2, finally Terminator 2 (John Connor's adopted mother).
I think Ripley is the best example in action movie history of how to correctly portray a badass woman. There’s no in your face girl power stuff calling attention to her gender. Just a strong badass character who just happens to be female.
Exactly!
In the extended version they explain that Ripley had a daughter on Earth that died while she was floating in space for 57 years. That better explains her instant attachment to Newt.
@@TripperV that's when the game alien isolation began
wait. that wasnt in the normal version?? Then i only have seen the Extended version of Aliens.
Also, the extended version of the first movie has Ripley finding some of her crew cocooned to the wall (though without a queen that doesn't make much sense). The scene's not in the regular version so Ripley finding the cocooning familiar in the 2nd movie is a bit of a plot hole.
@@zarquondam I don't think it doesn't make sense in the first film. Xenomorphs live in a hive like colonizing insects. If you took a single drone ant away from it's hive, it would probably still perform functions related to the hive on pure instinct. Now them cutting the scene in the theatrical Alien and having a scene in Aliens where the cocooning is familiar is unexplained, and somewhat of a plot hole but not that big of one to me.
@@zarquondam Xenomorphs can still procreate without a queen. The extended scene in the first film was showing Brett being morphed into an egg. This also fits in with Alien Isolation as we see multiple Xenomorphs towards the end but no queen.
MARY: At this point, I'm mentally prepared for the jump scare.
VIEWERS: Hehehe.
I uttered 4 "he"s meself. Hehehehe.
And she was not ready
🤣🤣🤣
NARRATOR: She was, in fact, NOT mentally prepared for the jump scare.
@@Theomite 5 "he" here...
Fun Fact: The alien queen was the biggest animatronic built for a film until the T-Rex for Jurassic Park.
It was 14 feet tall. 😬
Actually, it’s still considered the biggest movie prop in cinema history
They used an entire room to build the Alien Queen whereas the T-Rex is half animatronic and half CGI.
...and still looks awesome 30 plus years later... James Cameron is a world class film director, surrounded by his excellent cast (many of which re-occur in his movies)
Coincidentally in a positive note, both movies won Oscars for best sound effects and visual effects.
When Newt calls Ripley "Mommy" - gets me every single time!
Yeah me too !
But her real Mommy's body is still warm. How quickly they forget.
Lance Henriksen, who plays Bishop, has in various roles been attacked by an Alien, a Predator, the Terminator, Pumpkinhead, a demon, a giant wasp, the Reapers, Pinhead and Superman. I'm probably missing a few. The man makes powerful enemies.
Bill Paxton also has had the honor of being killed by an Alien, a Terminator, and a Predator. :)
He was also attacked by a bunch of random stuff on "Millennium"
Wait - when was he attacked by Superman?
@@WreckerR I looked it up on IMDB. He did Brainiac's voice in "Superman: Brainiac Attacks" (2006)
He was a vampire in Cameron’s wife’s ( at the Time) Gale Ann Hurd film Near Dark.
"This jump scare won't scare me because I've been anticipating it." Lol.
"OMYFUCKINGGODIDIDNOTEXPECTITTOMOVE!"
@20:30, I had friends in the Marine Corps who said that final moment with Gorman was an honorable death.
I asked why because dude was a screwup. One of them said “He died trying to save another Marine. He didn’t leave Vasquez behind.”
Yeah. Vasquez, the real badass of this film, hates him all through, but in that moment, she accepts him.
@@Sinewmire If somebody comes through fire to pull me out, we good dawg!
I'm not so sure he was really a screwup he was inexperienced , he did mention this was only his 2nd combat drop probably his first in command.
Burke set him up to fail. As I understand it he used the Company's pull to get an inexperienced Lieu assigned so he'd be pliable. By screwing up he'd help the Company via Burke to get a live specimen. And any casualties could be blamed on Gorman. He was a fall guy.
@@3Rayfire Exactly. Gorman was green and placed by Corporate Pull to be manipulated by Burke and fail. He redeemed himself with marine honor at the end trying to save Vasquez.
"I have never seen such survival skills!"
Sarah Conner would like a word with you.
Sarah Connor is great, but she doesn't come close to Ripley.
That would be an epic team up.
Uhh...Sarah Conor saved the world. What did Ripley do?
@@Kains_Gaming_Channel You're kidding right? Ripley has training, backup, and futuristic equipment to fight an alien that doesn't even care about her.
Sarah Conner fights a Killer Robot from the Future specifically out to murder her and her backup is one unarmed virgin from the future with a shotgun and some home made pipe bombs.
Just for the record here, Apone and Hicks weren't doubting Ripley because she's a woman, they were doubting her because she's a civilian "consultant." That's something that any military person would have trust issues with.
Yeah, to be honest about halfway through this video, I got a bit sick of Mary's "women are superior" stuff. This combined with her being offended for the sake of being offended stuff with Spaceballs and a few other videos....I'm not sure I intend to return to this channel much.
They really just didn't know what she could do, they just met her and her skills might be outdated after 57 years
Same, I was getting a little tired, not because of what she was saying, more because it signified that she wasn’t understanding the movie at all.
@@KthulhuXxx I agree with you.
Better, when she jumped in the powerloader to do some work instead of standing around they got some respect for her, which is a wonderful little moment and the beginning of her and Hick's great relationship.
The sergeant's response of 'I don't know, is there anything you can do?' was both to put what was (to him) just a civilian passenger on the spot. Both to find out if she would back down and also to make it clear to her that he wasn't going to accept her help if they had to babysit her. He was testing her resolve, her abilities, and her initiative all at once.
Also, the actor, Al Matthews, was a sergeant in real life during the Vietnam War, so we can be sure that he delivered the line with all of the intentions that you mentioned.
Fun Fact: James Cameron had them film all the scenes where the marines are all friends and eating together towards the end of the project because he wanted it to feel like everyone in that scene was friends and familiar with one another.
HAHAHAHA!
Also, he made them go to a military bootcamp. Except for Sigourney Weaver who was filming another movie and she couldn't join. But that worked out well, not bondind with her as soldiers didn't bond with Ripley.
There were four who didn’t go to boot. Paul and Sigourney, as they are civilians. Michael Bein, as he replaced the actor initially cast to play Hicks. Finally the actor that played Gorman, as the inexperienced officer in charge.
Ripley knew that her nightmares would never stop as long as the Aliens were out there so her only choice was a successful kill mission. She had to know with her own eyes that they were destroyed.
and two movies later, they still weren't destroyed.....and heading for EARTH.
I think, after losing her daughter to old age and hearing there are families there, her conscience wont let her bow out.
Hahahah..."Have Aliens never heard of consent!? ..Ask before you choke"....Hahahah, Best line ever. Great reaction
The Thing (1982) is another sci-fi/horror masterpiece, a must watch if you liked Alien and Aliens
The best, I just commented the same
The level of suspense and tension has not been surpassed. It is John Carpenter's best movie.
@@MichaelScheele I actually saw it at Cinema when it came out the special effects were years ahead of its time too i remember for many years after maybe 20 it never looked dated, I was so gutted they never made a second one sighhhh!!!
I haven't seen it, but I've seen a load of reactions to it cropping up, so I guess I need to watch it!
Gotta agree, the thing is one of the goat.
...and now you can get the Aliens reference in Infinity War when Spider-Man suggests blowing Squidward out into space.
You get it from the first one too
@@BenWillyums Almost except Peter is actually referring to this film by name,
Tony Stark: See him down there? He’s in trouble. What’s your plan? Go.
Peter Parker: Um. Okay, okay. Uh … Okay. Did you ever see this really old movie Aliens?
...and the Alien in Alien wasn't killed by being blown out into space. It was burned up in the rocket blast.
Yeah, but we need her to watch Spongebob Squarepants so she gets the Squidward reference as well!
Yep, Ebony Maw's demise mirrored that of the Xenomorph Queen.
Please don’t put your eggs in me! 😆
ripley is one of the best action heroes... ever. love sigourney weaver.
That reminds me of a "Golden Girls" episode, where "Who do you think I am, Sigourney Weaver?" came up.;)
"Who's laying the eggs?" I was hoping it was the Easter Bunny, but no such luck.
LMAO
ROFLMAO 😂 🤣
😂🤣
"GAME OVER, MAN!"
RIP Bill Paxton
Hail Hydra.
Ripley for me, is the most badass but good human being ever depicted in sci fi or horror. . Aliens is my also my fave film of all time too.
She was voted the most popular character in science fiction
Aliens and T2, are all time favorites.
Luke Skywalker.
We call that Chekhov's power loader...
"The Crow" (1994) next please!
"It just goes to show droidism is real and I was a droidist" lol I'm dead
Sigourney Weaver was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. A first for the leading lady in an action/science fiction movie.
The only other other actress ever to be nominated for an Oscar in an action/science fiction movie was Sandra Bullock in Gravity 27 years later (2013). Beautiful movie, would love to see you react to that one.
Mary Cherry - "Short controlled burst people...those aren't short" LOL!
Am I the only one...
The only way to counteract a horror film of this magnitude is with a wholesome romantic comedy. I suggest Event Horizon!
Yes, you are right! There is a love triangle and a puppy too!
Such a heartwarming story. Definite valentines day movie.
... you are ALL sadists.
AND I LOVE YOU! 😁
Is that what that is? I thought it was a sleep aid.
Mary: "Poor bishop, rest in peace buddy"
me: in pieces
I'm always amazed that Vasguez is same actress than adoptive mother of John Connor in Terminator 2
Damn, I never knew that.
And she worked with James Cameron a third time for Titanic. (And with Cameron's (ex-)wife Kathryn Bigelow on Near Dark)
**THE DESCENT** from 2005... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED>>>>>
Since Mary likes badass women, I second this... it's a truly terrifying film but I think she'll really vibe with the characters.
The ship in the first movie was named "Nostromo." The ship in this movie is named "Sulaco." Both are references to Joseph Conrad's 1904 novel _Nostromo_ which takes place in an imaginary Latin American country named Sulaco. The Conrad references continue throughout the franchise.
Yeah the shuttle that she escapes in in the first film is also called "Narcissus", right? That's a reference to a Conrad story too (one whose title is problematic so I won't write it here, LOL)
@@garmisra7841 Narcissus was also (originally) a figure out of ancient Greek mythology - IE the guy who fell in love with his own mirror image. Hence the mental diagnosis "narcissism"... :)
Maryy, I'm not sure how you got so far into the movie without realizing they were not on a spaceship until the very end. Best. Leo.
I know right
Fun fact: Despite there being "a lot" of aliens in this one, there is only ever a maximum of 6 on screen at once - count them. They apparently only had 6 alien suits
They had more suits. They only had 6 performers. They also have puppets for some shots.
Bill Paxton(Hudson) is great in this. You should also watch him with Lance Hendrickson and Jeanette Goldstein in Near Dark. It is a vampire movie, but not exactly horror.
Agreed, it's a brilliant film.
“I can’t imagine girls sitting around just doing this for fun.”
There were 5 people that did that sort of thing in my school. 3 of them were girls and the one that could go the fastest was a girl. So jokes on you.
Not knives, but I've seen 5 girls playing dare with vasabi, who dares to eat a bigger piece at once. Afternoon they all complained about stomach ache :D
The people interviewing Ripley are from the same company as the first film, but most of them hadn't even been born yet when the events of Alien took place.
It's always fun and disturbing when I come across an adult that hasn't seen some of my favorite movies. The disturbing part is that it reminds me just how damned old I am.
17:58 --- "Aliens never heard of consent? ASK before you choke.." ---- Best line ever Mary..
Yeah, Bishop was really a credit to his model :>
Oi! Give some love to Vasquez! That lady was a legendary badass.
I mean obviously Ellen Ripley is the best protagonist, but give some credit to the heavy weapon lady.
The illogic of having the heaviest weapon being wielded by the tiniest person nearly wrecked my suspension of belief. The heavy weapons should have carried by two really big guys, or at least a large burly woman. Vasquez should have been the computer/electronicd nerd instead of Hudson.
@@stefanlaskowski6660 Illogical, yes. Hot as hell, also yes.
@@stefanlaskowski6660 It's the future. That stuff is all titanium alloys and plastic. They have child soldiers now. I'm sure woman can handle machineguns in the future.
My wife and I are friends with the Biehn family. They live in Arizona like we do, and we try to make a point to hang out from time to time. Michael was great in this, as well as in Terminator. You also saw him in an episode of The Mandalorian. We recently got the opportunity to meet Lance Henriksen. He is so funny in person. Oh, and Michael has a savage wit. He's always talking smack and it's hilarious.
Winner of 2 Oscars.
Best Visual Effects
Best Sound Editing.
Sigourney Weaver was also nominated for best actress, if I remember correctly.
Yes and the Aliens movie was as well in 1986...
The android from the first movie didn't malfunction. He was doing exactly what the company was telling him to do. Weyland-Yutani wanted the aliens since the first movie and the prequels.
I think he malfunctioned *because* he had to follow orders to get the alien at all costs, Ripley and the rest of the crew included. He was trying to kill her, but it went against his original programming.
@@Keyboardje What, no. It even mentions in his programming that the crew don't matter.
@@user-bo3mp8un6c Those are his orders, not his programing.
@@redrick8900 It is effectively the same for an android that must obey
He definitely malfunctioned.
I think the first one is a cinematic masterpiece in its own right. I would probably also say it is arguably a better movie (for me personally). However, I enjoy (re)watching Aliens the most. It went in a completely different direction which I think was a really good idea. It would be hard to follow Ridley Scott's version within the same genre. I love them both, but in their each own way :) Thanks for the post! I really enjoyed seeing it! Have a nice week everyone
Fun fact: The Queen displayed reasoning and towards the end anger and vindictiveness. The Aliens are highly intelligent. The drones/warriors/cannon fodder display problem solving even after so many of them get taken out.
They were Raptors before the Raptors.
@@3Rayfire Basically lol
In the Queen's egg chamber when they have a cease fire, the Queen controls all aliens, - she tells that egg to open
@@TheGunderian And Ripley understood that.
"highly intelligent."
A wolf has that kind of vindictiveness.
"I'm ready for the next jump scare." Facehugger: Well, you say that....
"Ask before you choke." I'm dyin' here!
Ripley is one of the OG all time badasses
HoopleHeadUSA+ right along side Sarah Conner..
I'm glad you spoke out on anti-droid bigotry; even the Mandalorian came around because of IG-11!
You can't trust a droid. They are only what the last programmer told them to be.
Im 40 years old and saw the Alien films for the first time when I was 10. The first two are amongst my favorite films.
I absolutely love watching your generation experience these films for the first time.
That intro was like "What kind of PTSD is she having?"
"It's small, but it's effective." Title of my--
You don't have to do a reaction, but I recommend watching the extended cut of this film. It's generally seen as the definitive version these days.
Agreed, it gives a lot more context, especially to the dynamic between Ripley and Newt.
Some people say the sentry gun scenes are pointless, but I think they add more tension, and give more context as to why the aliens were crawling through the ceiling, they had to find a different way in as they had retreated after not being able to pass the sentries, and they didn’t know the guns were down to 10 rounds (there’s a little ‘Easter egg’ in the game Colonial Marines where you find the sentries in the corridor and the ammo counter reads 10).
Wow! A strong, female character who is attractive, isn't a man-hater & is NOT a "Mary Sue"!
Sad, how rare that has become in modern entertainment. This movie is the BEST!
Also, if you DON'T get choked up when Newt cries "Mommy!", you might want to double check if you have a soul!
I always adore the late Bill Paxton; always gave more than he needed to ; “game over…game over man!” 😅
Not a lot of people remember, but Sigourney Weaver was nominated for a best actres Oscar award for this role
Appropriately the most recent thing that I'm aware of that Bishop's actor Lance Henriksen has appeared in is Detroit: become human
I also prefer the original. The sequel is still great but more as an action sci-fi compared to the horror of the first.
If you want to see the gold class of sci-fi horror highly recommend the 1982 version of 'The Thing'. I watched it as a kid and had a ton of nightmares lol
The Xenomorph Queen is the largest puppet in the history of film. It's about 20 feet long and 14 tall, and is hung from a crane (part of the reason the head is so big is to hide the cables). It requires 12-16 people to operate the creature, including two stuntmen INSIDE the queen doing the arms.
Audrey II is bigger. It fills an entire room and was run by 5 times as many people.
@@redrick8900 Audrey II is not a single puppet. Head and tentacles/vines are independent pieces.
The best and only two movies in the series, and that's it, they never made sequel's that ruins the moments in Aliens, or prequels that look gorgeous, but ruin the mythology.
Now Predator though, you gotta watch that, since both film series are cousins in a way lol
James Cameron, he revamped Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor in his sequel's to create the iconic queens of action movies, so Terminator 1 & 2 are a must.
When it comes to Action/sci-fi, Alien, Aliens, Terminator 1 & 2 are the gold standard.
@@UTU49 They are, but don't forget The Matrix
Alien vs. Predator was pretty good
The Alien Omnibus books are the sequel its just a shame they had to change the names of Hicks and Rebecca(Newt) to Wilks and Billy.
I'm honestly a huge fan of Alien 3.
When Mary says short controlled bursts
She means it 🤣
The first two Terminator movies are great sci-fi films. (Also, stop after two).
Interesting fact. Filming the scene where Newt is in the water took all day. For Newt, it was mostly a chance to goof around. "The first assistant director had actually had someone stay there overnight, to make sure the water stayed warm," she said. "But it was actually too warm for me, so I would sit up on bars on the side, and the alien and I would stay up there, kicking our feet in the water". Pity there are no pictures of that. Carrie Henn who played Newt gave up acting and became a School Teacher.
Apone was simply politely asking Ripley what she knew how to do, as in has been properly trained to do. How else would he have known? She said she'd been trained for the powerloader, so he let her do that.
9:49 “Oh my God, she’s gonna infect everyone!” 🤣
LMAO
2 lines I was hoping to see:
“Game over man, game over!” and
“Get away from her, you b***!”
Those and "We have to nuke the planet from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" are the three most iconic lines from the movie.
"Why don't you put her in charge?"
None of the young reviewers seem to give Hudson enough appreciation.
"That baby's not going to fuck off....tell your baby to fuck off!" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
The actress who played Vasquez was John Connor's foster mother Janelle in Terminator 2 and the actor who played Hicks was Kyle Reese in Terminator
It's a little odd seeing Mary a bit bundled up and wearing the koala laplander, but I have to remember that she's an Aussie and while it's spring here in the U.S., it's autumn down in Australia.
Now you gotta see Predator, Terminator 1 and 2, Robocop, and The Abyss!
You should watch TERMINATOR
Is also from JAMES CAMERON
23:43
The Queen is roughly the sixe of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, about 12 meters long(reaching up to 20 with the egg-sack attached) and stands 4,5 meters tall
"This is a really good point to end it." Please don't watch Alien 3.
alien 3 spits on this movies ending and ruins it :(
@@NecropsY1 Harsh realities of life in the alien universe, man. No one promised you a happy ending.
Idk, i understand exactly why everyone hates the rest of it, but i still enjoy them because i saw them when i was young so i didn't know any of those details. I can still watch it and enjoy it, even though i get it now. I do.
Agreed. None of the newer Alien films are worth watching. In fact they are counterproductive to enjoying the first two films.
@@NecropsY1 well, if you watch through all the end credits, listen carefully at the very end there is a sound which tells you it's NOT over
Personally, I think Alien 3 is well worth a watch. Once again, a different type of film to some extent - not AS good, by any stretch, but much better than a lot of folks give it credit for and an altogether different character dynamic because.....well, you'll see.
I do, however, agree that Alien: Resurrection is a pretty dismal affair. And I stopped watching the series at that point so I can't speak to the films that came out after that.
Fun fact: the cantine with marines was the last scene after they all make the movie that's why they were so close, easy, joking with each other.. The actors have known each other already.
Imagine watching this at 10 years old, in the dark, alone in your room, not knowing what you're watching. That was me, btw I didn't see the original until years after the first
I was probably 11 when I watched it by myself late at night, on HBO. Either a Friday or Saturday night because my mother and I would go to her boyfriend's apartment. We also watched Predator on HBO. Nostalgia.
RE 18:50 they were firing 3-4 rounds per burst. That's the very definition of short and controlled. If you want bathit crazy dakka, watch Predator.
Over 40 years after Alien, I still love Ellen Ripley. So iconic. Sigourney Weaver is amazing.
The actor that plays Burk took his mother to the premier of Aliens, when his character dies, his mother cheered.
The, "I don't know, is there anything that you can do? Is The short version of, "Since I don't know you, I have no idea what you know how to do so... Is there anything you can do?"
Loved it when you said "they're all fu*cked". THAT should have been the tag-line on the poster for this movie! Great reaction.
Btw: Disney owns Fox, Fox owns Aliens ... ... that makes the Alien Queen a Disney Princess! 😎
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Would have liked to have sene your reaction to the "Get away from her you bitch!" 😊 but I get it :)
Also NGL ... I always tear up at the part when Newt calls her "Mommy" 😢😢😢😢😢
I love that 40ish year old movies hold up and that younger generations are enjoying them.
The reason most of the marines do not listen to Ripley ,to begin with, is because , to them, she is an outsider. While most of them have been together as a unit for years and as someone who has grown up around military people and heard stories from family members , I've been told this happens in real life today.
The outsider thing , not acid bloodied aliens .. 😁
I'd like to see your reaction to Vin Diesel in his best film "Pitch Black", or maybe start the "Underworld" series for some good ol Vampire on Werewolf war action. Cheers love
Ripley is most definitely the smartest and bravest and most badass character in the Alien series. However, I think it was a misstep to torch and blow up the eggs at the end. All of that would have been destroyed in the detonation of the colony anyways. She just ended up provoking the queen, who follows them back to the ship.
Good point, it was gonna blow up anyway.
true, but if she gotta shoot one in for a dime in for a dollar and torch them all
I disagree, as soon as ripley left the queens chamber with all the eggs and there was no longer a threat to the hive, she wouldve been attacked. Torching everything and shooting those grenades gave her a head start
My fav movie of all time. Watching this at a friend's sleepover at age 12, after watching cartoons, was a life changing revelation lol. The best movie monster ever created.
@11:10 "Is Ripley the only intelligent person in this entire movie?" Well, earlier in the movie, she did address the possibility of IQ's dropping sharply while she was away. 😁
Hicks, Newt, and Hudson are all pretty smart.
In the novelization of this movie it was explained that these Colonial Marines are very experienced at encounters with alien species. Hence Hudson asking if they were on “a bug hunt”.
However, they have never encountered an alien species as resistant as these. So for most of the movie these jarheads are freaking shook.
Also, the term bug hunt is an homage to the novel Starship Troopers, where human soldiers sometimes go on a bug hunt mission.
They are actually pretty with it. Hudson makes some noise and Gorman has that head injury but what disrupts the unit is losing their command structure.
If you liked the end of this movie, Ripley and Newt sailing off into space together. You're gonna love the way they handle their relationship in the future. Can't wait to see you see it.
Omg)))))))) yeah, SURE:)
"Ask before you choke" - great , coffee spat everywhere.... 😂😂😂😂😂
Another fun fact: Carrie Henn, our Newt, became a fourth-grade teacher and students still ask her to sign DVDs of the film: www.wired.com/2016/07/aliens-newt-comic-con/
And I will always get consent before choking... ;)
How did you miss the best line ever spoken in an action movie: "Get away from her, YOU B***H!"
This movie is basically an analogue of the vietnam war where the more technologically advanced army went in thinking it would be a cakewalk and then just got steamrolled.
Could say the same of Return of the Jedi - Storm troopers beaten by teddy-bears. That would be humiliating to report THAT loss to the Emperor had he been around that is.
Lance Henrikson, ("Bishop") appeared in a low budget Louisville based film around 2010. My friend Debbie Hess was a volunteer usher at Clifton Center where the premiere happened: she did not have a ticket to the main event, but Lance Henrikson immediately pulled rank and got Debbie a front row seat near him. Afterwards, the only serviceable toilet at the Clifton Center (a converted old Catholic elementary school) stopped working. Lance Henrikson found out about it, marched up to the bathroom and fixed the f*cking toilet at his own premiere. You can just about imagine that he's welcome back in Louisville any old time he would like.
One of my favorite movies of all time. Aside from Ripley, Bishop has always been my favorite character.
"Ask before you choke!"
You should definately give the Terminator franchise a watch,the first 2 are absolute classics and Sarah Connor is right up there with Ellen Ripley in terms of female lead heroes
RIP Al Matthews, Bill Paxton and Tip Tipping ❤
"Ask before you choke" I like that line
Giggity
