Couldn't have grabbed a plastic bottle or something with a lid on it? Then take a swig of air every minute of so while they're down there? Like, is that not a thing that's possible?
This is scene is terrifying, but seeing how fast these creatures are underwater is even more terrifying. Being chased and hunted by a Xenomorph is scary enough, but having to hold your breathe underwater while being chased by a Xenomorph is nightmare fuel!
Since Ron Perlman plugged one, you'd think she'd turn around and try to get a shot off herself, but it's easy for me to say. Plus this was the smart one that had dodged Perlman's shot before
It's human nature to struggle and act inefficient in the face of danger. In the case of the alien, "just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming swimming swimming"
@Young Reem he has done lots of experiments and David aside, AVP did show an alien whipping its acid blood at the predator. There is a video that shows the different variations of aliens depending on the host, so maybe the alien not only take on the host frame/build but also a bit of their intelligence.
+Predalien Raven The people who can hold it for more than 2 minutes are usually sedentary, not swimming for their lives or screaming and shooting grenades.
free diving is synonymous to relaxation, and calmness, because the more antsy you are underwater the more energy you expend, thus requiring oxygen and building up co2. aliens and sharks hunting you isn't exactly relaxing and calm.
I have to add, they say the distance is 90ft, or 27meters, its not how deep it is, its how long. they made 90ft too long, as an example, an Olympic pool is 50 meters long, and 25 meters wide. the width of the pool is almost already 90ft. I can swim 25 meters underwater in 40 seconds, they took almost 2 mins, but some had guns, but then the others in front don't, so they should've reached the alien breeding ground without getting caught, considering the movie says they do endurance underwater swim, but can't swim fast or efficiently enough to go 27meters or a width of an Olympic pool., better swimmers can go faster than what I can do., even teen swimmers or anyone competitive have tried to swim a length of a pool, or 50meters, you take half of that and its not very long, it only sounds long because they used a bigger number. 90 feet, if it was 90 feet deep though, that would be a different story. i guess i just have to suspend my disbelief.
It ain't that stupidly long. I was able to hold mine underwater for 5 minutes straight, and the only reason I got back to the surface was because someone pulled me up. So it's more than likely that I could have held it in for a longer duration. And the longest time someone held their breath underwater was 7 minutes straight.
A scene of Drax vs. Iron Man in Infinity War comes to my mind: Drax : Do it, Quill! I can take it. Mantis : No, he can't take it! Dr. Strange : She's right, you can't.
I love how ripley swims like the alien because shes part alien, its one of my favorite aspects of this movie, the attention to minor details. This is still my favorite alien movie.
Lots of different species of animals that don't have water as their natural habitat can swim very well. Dogs,cats(though,they usually prefer not to)wolves,snakes(not counting water snakes,since obviously water would be a water snake's natural habitat), bears,sloths,tigers,elephants, hippopotamuses,there are even some birds that can dive and swim underwater and the list goes on. So it makes sense that the aliens as land animals,if you will, would still be able to swim and swim well,at that. What makes less sense is how all of the humans(outside of Ripley's clone and Call the android)survived for that long underwater.
It’s just amazing to me the amount of effort that went into this, the actors were literally trained to hold there breath underwater for the entire duration of the scene. Totally worth it, wish I could say the same about the rest of the movie.
TheRaellz well I seen a video of some dude sat on the bottom of the ocean, about 10 meters in this place down for about 5 mins. I'm probably wrong but I'm drunk and lazy at the moment and can't be bothered to Google it. Anyway, he was static, these people are doing it fully clothed carrying loads of shite like rifles etc, it just can't be done, but what do I care, it's a lousy movie anyway, especially when the space ship hits the earth, the mushroom cloud is about 2 thousand miles across, explosion that big would have been the end of earth, anyway night, I'm going to bed. Cheers
They all laughed when private Steve and Mike accidentally brought the scuba gear, instead of their private gear to the space station. When the rooms started to fill with water, it was finally Steve and Mike turn to laugh.
One of the few good scenes in this movie. The film as a whole is a mess, but this scene is great. Remember, you don't have to out-swim the alien. You just have to out-swim your slowest team member.
+Jeremy Fuller the movie is ok....i like the characters , the story , the direction , the only problems of the movie is 1-) the rape of the Franchise ( but they do in the best way possible ) 2-) it's not a suspense movie anymore , i miss that..
Love this scene, resurrection came out just at the point in life my mam allowed me to view the original trilogy, Friday was alien, sat was aliens, Sunday alien 3, and then rented resurrection on Monday, what a thrill ride, massive fan to this day.
*I am actually watching again all Alien movies at Disney+. I started last Saturday. Just finished Alien 3 right now while having a dinner.

I really love these Alien movies. One of the best sci-fi movies of all times. Truly, I love and respect these movies.*
@@LifeOdysseyMotivation it's really weird that Disney now own all of foxes films, I often joke that the Micky mouse ears will soon be on the shoulders of the US troops, lol, I love the alien franchise though, when I was a kid my mam would let me watch alien up to the space jockey scene and then no further, lol, which only intrigued me more to know what was going to happen, each film in the franchise has something good to offer, alien with its mystery and aliens with the intense action, and I'm one of those rare people who actually loves alien 3. I think after aliens the correct thing to do was go back to one xenomorph instead of alot like aliens, that way the story is kept better I think, plus the dog alien is my favourite xeno design, it looks very cool to me, and actually had the largest kill count as one individual in the entire series, I really enjoyed Prometheus in the cinema in 2012, especially because Ridley Scott was at the helm, love his works, and I really love Covenant. When I first saw the trailer for covenant I thought I was going to be disappointed, but the film's deep philosophical ideas mixed with Ridley's direction is amazing to me, and I know alot don't get Covenant, but it's a film that makes u think, can't wait for Ridley's alien awakening to be released. Always good to hear from a fellow alien fan, 👍

These people hold their breath for an insanely stupid amount of time. Half of which under extreme duress. Humans dont work like that. This scene is idiotic sir.
Digital filmmaking has degraded, at that time we were just at the right time where traditional cinematographers were trained to work with film - but had access to digital filmmaking. All that extra skill and rigor really showed. We've somewhat degraded technically in filmmaking tech since then, but upped the creativity and television has gotten way better. But you're definitely seeing properly shot, in focus, well lit scenes. See movies in this era like Speed, Mission Impossible 1, T2 --- just gorgeously shot. 90's doesn't get enough credit for cinematography, it was a golden era of filmmaking.
This is the one thing I really liked about the film. Just noticed how Ripley swam more like an animal than a human. Also, since they were not really trying to exert themselves, they could reasonably hold the breaths for two minutes.
"not really trying to exert themselves"? Paniced underwater screaming while being chased by alien monsters fully armed with heavy weapons and dragging a handicapped man isn't "exerting" enough to you?
@@wh0w0a Not for space pirates who probably are in feral condition from smuggling and near-death encounters previously. Plus I suspect some of them are probably enhanced for breath-holding via augmentation or nanites so they can hide from authorities etc.
Not to mention shout under water with ease. Not recalling if they were given some kind of combat drug to manage that, if not, this is terrible writing and directing.
Very effective horror scene because it brings you back to a time when in a nightmare you were running from a monster and when you’re running in a dream it feels like underwater.
I don't know what's more incredible; -How everyone didn't die from that underwater explosion (via the pressure/shock wave in incompressible water), or -How they manged to swim as fast as they can, weighted down by weapons, for 2 minutes and 30 seconds on a single breath.
I didn't like this movie at all , but this scene ... this scene I can definitely give TWO THUMBS UP! Something about Aliens swimming underwater makes it even more terrifying.
There is. They generally can't figure out a button. And press it. For one. The only Xenomorph that managed to do so is the one in this movie, but he was basically tortured by that button until it sunk in, so, it doesn't count. Starship Troopers Bugs have much more talents in fact. Being capable of grasping a concept and workings of a button is one of them.
@@LandersWorkshop So? First, we don't _explicitly_ see how she did it and whether she even activated the lift herself. For all we know, she could have just walked in and it just happened to activate with her inside (or she did by accident). So that's a sketchy proof. Second, some of them can, as I said, but it's more of an exception and Queens are also just smarter. And, by the way, you're a real genius, writing three years later...
@@SuperVladdrakula LOLOL. Better late than never, people are patient and don't mind. Unless you are being a doofus and making snarky comments about me doing it that is. :D
I don't think people can hold their breath for that long while actively swimming away from Aliens. Plus the extra minute or so after this clip before they rip through the membrane.
Swimming with all those clothes, boots and equipment would also be very difficult/ impossible for that long without a breath. But yeah, just a movie I guess!
Why didnt she just hurry up and turn around and shoot the damn thing!? I mean, if i knew that thing was gaining speed on me, I wouldve hurried and shot it when it was about 5 feet behind me.
Maybe because The weapons she carried weren't rocket launcher propelled like the first guy shot. Plus ballistic weapons are ineffective underwater they loose much of their penetrating power. My guess.
That and she was terrified. She was the one who didn't want to go underwater to begin with and considering she's trailing from the start would have been because she was obviously not a strong swimmer. Bringing two guns down was dumb when you take that into consideration and ditching them both was even dumber but I guess when you are completely terrified you do stupid things. Everyone in the group sort of had someone to look out for them for some reason or another but she lost hers when Elgyn's curiosity got him killed. When he died her character became pretty redundant.
Fear. The only thing on her mind was to get away from the Xeno as quickly as possible and even if she did shoot it, her panicking state wouldn't have helped for an accurate shot.
Or could have use a melee weapon...not sure if the acid would work under water but could have used one if she had one...then again probably would not work...maybe
The only one who heard the scream was Ripley, and she had increased senses due to alien DNA within her. The girl who got killed was swimming past Hellboy and noticed only after he took out his weapon to aim.
Yeah. It seems like they messed up in Covenant and Prometheus. *I am actually watching again all Alien movies at Disney+. I started last Saturday.

I couldn't even hold my breath while walking across that gigantic room. And I love how one person decides to turn around in the crystal clear lagoon water for no reason and sees an alien and then Ripley immediately senses his stunned reaction somehow...
I always thought of Alien as being the equivalent of Jaws in Space, Alien Resurrection was underrated, this scene combines the essence of both Alien AND Jaws in one, it is a horrifying scene
Also, somewhere between 1:39 and 1:40: that ultra-quick shot of the Xenomorph opening its mouth reminds me a lot of various, multiple short shots of Jaws opening his mouth right before he strikes.
I remember during the hype of the film when it came out this was the scene they played on talk shows and interviews with Sigourney Weaver, it really got people fired up seeing those two aliens at the end swimming towards them like sharks then faded out, leaving you wanting more!
Yo Donnie! I had to swim through a fricken kitchen to get away from an Alien and he wasnt even illegal! I then fired my gun unnerwater. Bet you feel real stoopid now

I didn't like this movie at all , but this scene ... this scene I can definitely give TWO THUMBS UP! Something about Aliens swimming underwater makes it even more terrifying.
That Single Scene Really Made Me Nervous, every time the xenos got closer, lol.
I wonder what that exploding alien did to the ph level of that water.
Nothing good, I imagine.
I am reminded of that American Godzilla underwater scene.
They are all great swimmers.
The Xenomorphs do not even need to breathe, so we should not be surprised that they are superb underwater.
Man. This scene had so much tension.
These are the things that nightmares are made of
Poor Hillard. None of the other characters even seemed to notice she was gone after this scene!
I agree. Though they probably didn't have time or mentioned it off-screen.
Probably a deleted scene where they talk about her a little.
I don't think I would survive holding my breath like that. I would definitely panic.
This scene never gets old, badass scene ever
Una escena de accion memorable. El simple echo de existir vale la pena toda la película completa. RESURRECTION ROCKS!
Mucha gente odia resurrección, pero en lo personal, sin ser mi favorita de la saga, esa escena, ¡Dios que está bien hecha y vaya que es espeluznante!
How the hell does he screams underwater and still has enough air to make the rest of that swim??????
The xenomorphs swim so beautifully
Magnificently deadly like mermaids.
Jaws: I'm will Kill anything in the water Xenomorphs: *Looks at him*
Is there no end to the xenomorphs talents? They can crawl on the ceiling, climb sheer walls and swim underwater. Gotta have respect for em
There is. They generally can't figure out a button. And press it. For one. The only Xenomorph that managed to do so is the one in this movie, but he was basically tortured by that button until it sunk in, so, it doesn't count. Starship Troopers Bugs have much more talents in fact. Being capable of grasping a concept and workings of a button is one of them.
Like Ash said in the first movie (and David reiterated in the prequels), the perfect organism.
@@SuperVladdrakula The Alien Queen figured out how to work a lift to the top floor of the atmosphere processor, so there's that.
@@LandersWorkshop So? First, we don't _explicitly_ see how she did it and whether she even activated the lift herself. For all we know, she could have just walked in and it just happened to activate with her inside (or she did by accident). So that's a sketchy proof. Second, some of them can, as I said, but it's more of an exception and Queens are also just smarter. And, by the way, you're a real genius, writing three years later...
@@SuperVladdrakula LOLOL. Better late than never, people are patient and don't mind. Unless you are being a doofus and making snarky comments about me doing it that is. :D
I don't think people can hold their breath for that long while actively swimming away from Aliens. Plus the extra minute or so after this clip before they rip through the membrane.
Also how many times did they open their mouths but still not run out of oxygen?!?!
+The Black Mask Alien logic
***** silliness
Swimming with all those clothes, boots and equipment would also be very difficult/ impossible for that long without a breath. But yeah, just a movie I guess!
I find your lack of fai- er, imagination, disturbing.
Seeing the woman panicking as she saw the alien get closer was terrifying.
0:47 It’s official, They can swim in the water like one of their kind did in the sequel “The 2nd Film” from the year of 1986.
The xeno swimming aspect would be a terrifying aspect in an alien isolation 2 if they ever decide to make one!
The CGI of the aliens looked great considering the year this movie came out.
CGI has declined in quality pretty steadily since Terminator 2 when it first started seeing heavy use. This was still in its golden age.
They mostly didn't use CGI for the aliens.
The noise of the projectile exploding would have been deafening under water
Why didnt she just hurry up and turn around and shoot the damn thing!? I mean, if i knew that thing was gaining speed on me, I wouldve hurried and shot it when it was about 5 feet behind me.
Maybe because The weapons she carried weren't rocket launcher propelled like the first guy shot. Plus ballistic weapons are ineffective underwater they loose much of their penetrating power. My guess.
That and she was terrified. She was the one who didn't want to go underwater to begin with and considering she's trailing from the start would have been because she was obviously not a strong swimmer. Bringing two guns down was dumb when you take that into consideration and ditching them both was even dumber but I guess when you are completely terrified you do stupid things. Everyone in the group sort of had someone to look out for them for some reason or another but she lost hers when Elgyn's curiosity got him killed. When he died her character became pretty redundant.
Fear. The only thing on her mind was to get away from the Xeno as quickly as possible and even if she did shoot it, her panicking state wouldn't have helped for an accurate shot.
Or could have use a melee weapon...not sure if the acid would work under water but could have used one if she had one...then again probably would not work...maybe
I agree, I'd rather drown fighting back, but panic, lack of oxygen etc.
Probably the only iconic thing to come out of Alien Resurrection. Such a great scene
0:52 How sadistic Xenomorphs are... feeding off the fear of their prey as they smile and grin...
Let's face it, damn near all of us would die here.
How did the others hear him scream at 00:43 when they're under water?
The only one who heard the scream was Ripley, and she had increased senses due to alien DNA within her. The girl who got killed was swimming past Hellboy and noticed only after he took out his weapon to aim.
@@shubhayukolay9609 Great observation
sound travels very well underwater, you might not be able to speak, but a noise will travel
1:00 Real underwater explosions just have this extra *umpf* to it.
this one scene is better than prometheus and covenant together.
Yeah. It seems like they messed up in Covenant and Prometheus.
*I am actually watching again all Alien movies at Disney+. I started last Saturday. Just finished Alien 3 right now while having a dinner. Now, I'm starting the fourth Alien franchise, "Resurrection." Then the next are, "Covenant", "Prometheus", and..... I'm excited to watch the "Alien Vs Predator 1&2. Uffff! I really love these Alien movies. One of the best sci-fi movies of all times. Truly, I love and respect these movies.*
My favorite sound of Hillard panicking happens at the 1:28-1:29 mark.
pretty sure they all would have gone deaf from that explosion underwater
0:59 DODGE
Swimming aliens, cloning chamber, basketball scene, alien ejection scene. It's a great movie.
Movies: people can hold breath for 5 minutes
Real life: people hold breath 30 seconds
I couldn't even hold my breath while walking across that gigantic room. And I love how one person decides to turn around in the crystal clear lagoon water for no reason and sees an alien and then Ripley immediately senses his stunned reaction somehow...
He was checking their 'six' like a good merc trooper should.
1:34 no se porque pero esta escena en particular me genera mucha satisfacción y morbo. Me encanta…
Out of all the sequels after 1 and 2 this one was my favorite!
Drowning is a better option than being Facehugged by an Alien.
The alien that was swimming was horrific.
That was very accurate.
I always thought of Alien as being the equivalent of Jaws in Space, Alien Resurrection was underrated, this scene combines the essence of both Alien AND Jaws in one, it is a horrifying scene
Also, somewhere between 1:39 and 1:40: that ultra-quick shot of the Xenomorph opening its mouth reminds me a lot of various, multiple short shots of Jaws opening his mouth right before he strikes.
Goddamn, same
This film is still much better than Prometheus and Covenant combined.
1:32 "Geez, what's her hurry?"
The shockwave from that grenade would've been horrible for everybody in the water.
1:54 me when i go to Mc Donalds and try to order somethang
I love scenes that take place underwater
This scene gives me unfathomable levels of anxiety
Probably the best part of the movie. Although 2 and half minutes isnt impossible to hold your breath
This is one of the top scenes I remember from all the Alien movies!
I love the depth charger style implosion when the grenade hits the alien.
This movie gets a lot of hate, but aside from the horrible hybrid design it's a good popcorn flick, and I love the Ripley clone with alien dna idea.
Still love this movie
I guess you could say that she seemed rather...
(puts on sunglasses)
... SUNK! YEEEAAAH!
(removes sunglasses and shoots you)
+CharlesXavier
I guess the Alien in the end got a.....
(•_•) /
( •_•)>⌐■-■
/(⌐■_■)
CLEAN KILL!
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's some dry humor there
This scene makes me really happy I can breathe right now 😅
I remember during the hype of the film when it came out this was the scene they played on talk shows and interviews with Sigourney Weaver, it really got people fired up seeing those two aliens at the end swimming towards them like sharks then faded out, leaving you wanting more!
So why is there flooding on a space ship again?
Aliens torn those cooling tanks and other facilities. These new breed of xynomorphs are intelligent and socially sophisticated.
0:28 Is it a Tuco?
Yes, same actor.
A what?
Yo Donnie! I had to swim through a fricken kitchen to get away from an Alien and he wasnt even illegal! I then fired my gun unnerwater. Bet you feel real stoopid now
