In the novelization of this film by Allen Dean Foster, there's a scene where Bishop crawls past a hole in the tunnel wall which contains a xenomorph curled up in it. The xenomorph lashes out after being disturbed but calms down again when Bishop stops and does nothing. Eventually, Bishop continues crawling and the xenomorph leaves him alone. Bishop theorises that the xenomorph interprets an android as just another piece of machinery, and attacking him would be as pointless as attacking an engine or a computer terminal. Really interesting detail that could have been great in the movie.
@@Crackshotsteph This is only a theory but his sacrifice might have actually saved Ripley from a similar fate. Considering the angle the Queen's tail goes in (from behind Bishop) it's possible she was trying to skewer Ripley, but since she couldn't detect Bishop she wasn't aware he was standing in the way of her strike.
In the book there is additional dialogue, where Vasques says to listen to the noises. Hicks says in his cold matter, they' re in the complex. This scene was filmed and can be found on bluray additional scenes
@@draconusfrigidus I'm pretty sure all aliens including the queen can 'detect' an machine standing in the way, maybe she wasn't ever close enough to him to sense out he is an android but I'm confident she knew who she was aiming at
Man, Lance nailed his role in this movie - he *IS* Bishop, full-stop. His mannerisms and "matter of fact" approach to everything is exactly how I envisioned an "artificial person" to behave when I watched this as a kid. I just love Aliens! 😁👌
It was a great reversal to have Bishop be a compassionate android, the opposite of Ash in the first film. Also a great little detail to have him hand back the pistol to Vasquez, knowing it’s useless.
If you listen to the directors commentary Cameron remarks on Bishops expression at 1:42 note that his face drops as he's made a joke, but is unsure how well it's received by his human colleagues. Truly an exceptional performance
Bill Paxton crushed it LMAO.... From absolute edge of the abyss bitching one sec to gung ho all in on the plan with Bishop volunteering.... Such a great actor!
Hudson’s reaction to the emergency vent going off makes me laugh every time I think of it. “That’s beautiful man, that… that… that… just beats ‘em all.”
I Love how Hudson being a tech guy knows what the problem is as soon as Bishop points it out but Ripley and Hicks need it explained to them. Its the details that put the cherry on this film.
Not sure about that... Hicks knew what it meant and that it was going to blow and asked "how long". I think Ripley and the audience needed to be informed! :)
Hicks probably figured it would blow because he just figured everything that can go wrong appears to be going wrong, therefore its probably even more bad news of the worst kind.
Feel like the opposite to be honest. It seemed to me like Hudson just thought he'd seen something significant but didn't know what it meant, so just walked off. Hicks obviously did.
@@Durzel Hudson is a combat technician -- he's the one who hacks the door into the colony after they land -- so it could make sense for him to know the score. Real-world combat engineers don't necessarily have the STEM background to operate a power plant (although some do), but demolitions and explosives are part of the job and that could encompass recognizing something that's going to go boom.
Ripley's stutter at 1:18 saying "portable terminal" and the directors vision to inlude it in the final film is a major reason why this film is great the situation they are in needed realism, fear, anxiety and the delivery of the words reflected these emotions
The future world they built in this movie is so fuckin real. You totally believe theyre on a distant planet. You believe the Aliens are just outside ready to attack. Ive never seen such an amazing job of atmosphere as this
@@xXYannuschXxRidley remembered doing that in the original Alien film, tho. Watch the scene where Ripley argues with Parker over how to kill the xenomorph. Ripley is being extremely assertive with Parker to remind him who is in charge. But she stutters because she's terrified about the f*cked up situation that they're in. Which makes sense because they're not soldiers but average joes being placed in an insane situation by their money hungry employers. In the sequel, Sigourney Weaver played Ripley the same way. She's not a soldier nor she pretends to be one either. She's just a regular person trying to get over a phase of her life that had become a freakin nightmare. Makes you think that Ripley was always thinking why she was the only one that survived? Not even her daughter was alive at that point. Which explains why she wanted to make sure Newt survived. Too bad Aliens 3 took away Ripley's achievements from the second film and threw them in the trash. No wonder she wanted to just die and get it over with it.
I saw this film the night it came out in '86 and many times thereafter. As scary as the whole movie is, nothing creeped me out more than the idea of having to crawl a hundred yards thru that tiny pipe! I'm claustrophobic. I think I would have just let the Xenos eat me rather than do that!
The Xenos doesn't eat any form life in fact. In the history of this species, you are a juste a part of the reproduction procesus and their evolution in addition.
It's not just that - he may actually have programming that specifically forbids him from using weapons. As he says earlier in the movie, he's not allowed to harm a human being, so it might make sense that handling guns is something he has a natural aversion toward for safety / insurance reasons.
@@CopiousDoinksLLC he's serving on a military space ship, I don't think he would have aversion to weapons in case of emergencies. I think in this case he would be able to use a weapon against an alien. But this weapon would be useless in this case.
Bill Paxton basically stole EVERY scene that he was in! I was saddened by the fact that Hudson buys it AND we still had about forty minutes of the movie left. How many one liners can an actor knock out of the park in a single movie?
Love the fact that Bishop hands over the gun back to her and gave the look of "what the hell I'm going to do with this pop gun to an army of xenomorph?"
In the novel Bishop encounters a few Aliens who basically look at him and go "meh whatever fam" and leave him alone. They recognized he wasn't alive so his existence didn't bother them.
@@IfbbProRolandcHazard i think the queen attacked Bishop in the end out of anger and revenge. Ripley destroyed her whole hive and all of her offspring so she wanted all of them dead in the end. Both alive or "artifical"
Several things communicated in quick succession. Bishop volunteers for the dangerous mission, surprising everyone. Up until that point he had mostly hung back and acted borderline creepy. Hudson says it’s a great idea because it means he’s off the hook. Implicit in what he’s saying is “Isn’t this what androids are for?” Vasquez seems genuinely impressed by Bishop at this moment because whether it’s logical for him to go or not, whether he has a “soul” or feels pain or fear in the same way as a human, brave is brave. And Ripley, who carries over a justifiable distrust of androids from the first film and who has treated Bishop with open suspicion before this point, begins to think she might have misjudged him.
I absolutely loved Bishop's response to Hudson too. "Believe me, I'd prefer not to. I may be synthetic, but I'm not stupid." It showed that despite being an artificial person, he did truly have a sense of consciousness and was fully aware of how dangerous the task he was undertaking would be, but that it needed to be done.
@@Zaxares I also love the writing and the way the parameters are expressed in general terms. “The uplink tower at the other end.” “Somebody’s gotta go out there.” It’s all pretty vague but we roll with it because we understand at this point that going *anywhere* on that planet is dangerous. And then we actually *see* that he intends to crawl through the fucking pipe lol. It’s incredible.
Just my opinion, but I'd have run outside. I'd have taken my chances that way. I'm not claustrophobic, but I'd mentally break in that pipe. Give me a rifle and open the door.
When you’re faced with life ir death you’ll face your fear of an enclosed space to stay alive and realize your unfounded fear is minuscule in comparison to a foreign organism poised to make you an unwilling host for a pregnancy that will ravage your heart, lungs, and spinal cord as it ruptures and splits your breast bone, separates your rib cage and crawls out. Keep in mind you get to feel and watch what kills you.
Even though Bishop ended up being ripped apart by alien mama, he was the only one who got saved by not remaining inside the complex like the others... See Hudson?!?
Loved Bill Paxton's reaction. Dude knew exactly what was going to happen without having to have it explained to him. Then you have Hicks coming to the same conclusion: "How long til it blows?"
The gift that keeps on giving, the crashed apc All because those idiots open the door and roamed around outside with a crew of two, that was absolutely necessary for him to open the door and run around outside in the rain with aliens roaming around unarmed😊. Really big win for the aliens, that one alien that sacrificed himself on the APC made a huge difference to the choices remaining for whoever was left😊
Note on 1:14 how Bishop, despite being an android and programmed for social interaction, shows signs of great uncomfort as is clear from his eye movements; Lance Henriksen conveys Bishop with such belief, easily being one of the most human characters in the movie.
Unfortunately for them, it got trashed when the dropship crashed. That's why Hudson comments about the transmitter being wasted because it was aboard the APC.
@@readysetsleep yeah.. Bad call from her.. I know she wanted to save them but she ended killing everyone in the end.. But to be fair Gorman should have left two pilots in the sulaco just in case something happens

I love how quiet Bishop is when he says “I’ll go”. It’s like the severity of the situation simultaneously is and isn’t hitting him: he knows he is the only one who can actually do it but at the same time he doesn’t grasp just how high the tensions really are
One thing I never understood was why Bishop couldn't just walk there from outside? The movie didn't really portray that the Aliens were running amok outside the complex, they were inside and often huddled together in groups.
This movie was made in 1986, 5 months after the Nuclear Disaster in Chernobyl. Seems strange though a Nuclear Reactor overload both in a power plant and Atmosphere Processor.
40 megatonne blast, radius of 30km: 4 hours Time to crawl through conduit: 40 mins Patch in and line antenna: 60 mins Ship prep: 30 mins Flight time: 50 mins Your software needs updating. 1 hour and 30 mins remaining
I let a couple of years go by and watch it again. Bet we have watched it 6 times at least. I was lucky enough to see it on the big screen way back. My future wife and I came out of the theatre PUMPED!!
Hey, private Hudson, I forgot my lighter in the other building on the other side of the base. you can get there through the basement. Why don't you go and fetch them.
They put in so many great little character details like Bishop grabbing freshly flame cut steel barehanded, and being concerned for his coworker's fingers while being welded into the tube to crawl alone through an alien infested complex.
"I guess we can just count you out of everything, huh Hudson?" the look of disgust in Hicks eyes was intense. He was really doubting Hudson's abilities to soldier and was actually feeling disgusted.
Theres a scene that could have been in the movie. While crawling through the pipe he sees the aliens going about thier business, he observed them for a while and moved on
Useless fact: 40 megatons would just about 10-15 megatons shy of the Soviet "Tzar Bomba" explosion and more than 4x more powerful than the U.S. B53 (the largest nuclear weapon ever actually deployed by any country, the Tzar Bomba by contrast was basically just a hand-built demonstration, etc.)
This was one scene where when I saw bishop in that tube with the light on his face looking down that tunnel I thought. Oh hell no! What if there is no opening at the end? I couldn't do that. Course I am 2x Bishops size. 😂
Bill Paxton's constant whining and complaining made this film so much better for me. Just the right amount of comedy relief to break up the tension. Miss you Bill.. :O(

What are chances that Chernobyl inspired the overloading of the atmosphere processor?
This film was epic. The following sequals tho...
so stupid to not have at least one person on the mother ship when they decided to land on the planet
it's like the space version of open water 2
in the early script Bishop was supposed to stay on the ship and refused to save them because he feared that they will bring Aliens to board
I know really. Enterprise never sent the entire crew on an away mission
yeah it's like the marines totally underestimated the threat they were facing and weren't as tough as they thought
That tube looks kinda safe though. Only thing that could fit in was a face hugger.

I love this movie.. I love Bishop 🤓🤓
I can never get tired of hearing Hudson losing his shit
They put in so many great little character details like Bishop grabbing freshly flame cut steel barehanded, and being concerned for his coworker's fingers while being welded into the tube to crawl alone through an alien infested complex.
1:20 portable terminal = laptop!
I love Vasquez's look of total disgust at Hudson's cowardice.
I wish Hudson & Vazquez survived too
"I guess we can just count you out of everything, huh Hudson?" the look of disgust in Hicks eyes was intense. He was really doubting Hudson's abilities to soldier and was actually feeling disgusted.
Theres a scene that could have been in the movie. While crawling through the pipe he sees the aliens going about thier business, he observed them for a while and moved on
This scene probably also explain why the team didnt all move through the tunnel haha. They are as good as dead if the alien find them inside.
"yeah man... send Bishop, good idea" lol
😂I love this guy!
Useless fact: 40 megatons would just about 10-15 megatons shy of the Soviet "Tzar Bomba" explosion and more than 4x more powerful than the U.S. B53 (the largest nuclear weapon ever actually deployed by any country, the Tzar Bomba by contrast was basically just a hand-built demonstration, etc.)
40 Megs! Only 30 kilometres? I say abit more than that lol..
Except it's not an air burst like an intentional nuclear attack designed for maximum damage. At ground level 30 kilometers is about right.
Main structure is underground deep covered with all construction of atmosphere transformer.
@@Nnneemo I still think it would be more than that...
This is so god DAMN good!!!! Timeless
This was one scene where when I saw bishop in that tube with the light on his face looking down that tunnel I thought. Oh hell no! What if there is no opening at the end? I couldn't do that. Course I am 2x Bishops size. 😂
Bill Paxton's constant whining and complaining made this film so much better for me. Just the right amount of comedy relief to break up the tension. Miss you Bill.. :O(
What does Vasquez say just before she starts welding Bishop in?
“Vaya con Dios” = “Go with God”.
