The thing about practical effects is that when done right, they never age. This film still looks great.
James Cameron got his start as a practical special effects guy for Roger Corman in tiny-budget slasher flicks sometimes shot in a day or two, where he had to invent creative effects on a shoestring budget using whatever was lying around. The heavy machine gun harness that Vasquez and Drake use was cleverly put together from a steadi-cam rig, and the weird-looking transport vehicle was an obsolete airport tow truck.
@@charlize1253$18.5 million in 1986 money isn't exactly "shoestring." Sure it's not T2's budget but it's not Evil Dead either.
they feel more real than cgi
@@redpillfreedom6692Indeed not "shoestring", but even Fox budgeted the Aliens script for 35 mio. (which was too much, as the original Alien was 11 mio.) but Gale and James convinced them they can do it for half. So with basically 7 mio. more they pulled that spectacle off. For the most part, the effects still look phenomenal.
@@positivealignmentyup by far
In a cut scene, we find out that Ripley had a young daughter who aged and died while Riplay was in hypersleep. It helps explain her motherly connection with Newt.
I think that scene should have been included because literally everybody back in the day suspected Newt was "impregnated".
Definitely glad these guys watched the original cut though. There are lengthy scenes of the colony in the longer cut that are very good scenes themselves but it greatly distorts the mystery vibe of the movie. I agree with the general sentiment that the first viewing is best with the original cut but subsequent viewings work better with the cut scenes.
It is in the Director's cut that runs 150 minutes. I have it and the scene is so sad. @@silikon2
@@silikon2I miss the sentry gun scenes though, they were decent.
@@moviewatcher1127the sentry gun scenes r the best. & I feel the stuff with her daughter was needed. It’s only 20min longer.
And it explains Alien Isolation
That was a great line.."Bishop takes queen"....but then Queen takes Bishop!
Check!
Illegal move 😱
The queen is too busy having sex with her twin brother, the knight. I know! I read the rules! I can quote the entire rulebook: "Game of Thrones Chess Set rules. Part One....." I could go on, but that would just be showing off.
Besides...it's kinda hard for a bishop to take a queen unless you make a reallllllllly newbie blunder or it's part of a planned sequence of trades.
Sigourney Weaver is the daughter of Sylvester “Pat” Weaver, the innovative former president of NBC Television. He was the creator of the Tonight and Today shows, among others. If you guys haven’t already done so, you need to see her in “Ghostbusters” and “Galaxy Quest.” Carrie Henn, who played Newt, only appeared in this one film. She grew up to become an elementary school teacher (aka, a normal person).
About 10 years ago I was surprised to run across a teenaged Carrie Henn in a made-for-TV movie about some kind of exclusive private school (unfortunately I can't recall the name). I recognized her immediately, she still looks remarkably similar. But it's true that she did hardly anything after Aliens.
Thank God for that!
Yup, Kevin Smith interviewed her at the 30th anniversary of the movie: ua-cam.com/video/WDeW92lK4k8/v-deo.html
8:48 "He seems like he's actually a nice guy" lolz
😂😂😂
HE HAD ME TRICKED TOO GIRL DONT ACT LIKE YOU WERENT LMAO
I loved seeing the extended edition of this. Really gave context to why Ripley cares for Newt, not that you don't get that in the theatrical version, but it just adds to it.
Without it, it doesn't really make sense that she would go into the Alien nest and be willing to die there (and kill Hicks, Bishop) for a girl she barely met 5 minutes before. The special edition completely removes that question, and you understand that, of course, she would do that.
@@miller-joelAs the first commenter said, it adds to the why but I don't think anyone is in doubt that she'd be willing to do it even without the scene (joking aside). Saying it doesn't make sense without it is going too far. It's fine to prefer having that extra info and scene but the movie makes it clear she has a connection to the kid.
@@TheycallmeMrWonka We'll have to disagree. Without the loss of her daughter, maybe she would, maybe she wouldn't. Knowing Ripley lost her daughter AND felt guilty about leaving her for work, she 100.000% would, no question about it.
And not just any work. Working for the Company. Let that sink in. She sacrificed time with her daughter to work for the Company that killed her entire crew to get an alien specimen.
@@miller-joel , it makes perfect sense. Ripley went back for Jones in the first movie. It did not make sense if Ripley had indeed met Newt only 5 minutes before, but that is not what happened in the movie. She had already bonded with Newt and put under her wings. Why should Ripley needed to be a mother in order for her relationship with Newt make sense? Newt was a child in danger and that is enough motivation for most normal thinking people to be protective. If you need to said something that did not happened in the movie to prove your point that means you had no argument to begin with.
@@PungiFungi Going back for Jones doesn't compare to going into an alien nest. And Ripley tried to disarm the Nostromo's self-destruct. Did you even watch the movies?
Funny lines: One of the best ones was when the one guy asked Vasquez if she'd ever been mistaken for a man and she asks if he's ever been mistaken for a man. 😆
It's also a quote from the fabulous and feisty Tallulah Bankhead, someone actually asked her that in an interview and she replied quick as a whip. Except she added "darling" coz she was a classy dame 😉
Vasquez and Ripley = how strong female Characters should be portrayed 😍
@@toschememestation1031 Vasquez was the inspiration for the short-lived characted of Tasha Yar in ST:TNG
its clever, that's why its so good. in another context, i feel like it could translate as "sexist" or bad taste, especially nowadays... but the movie portrays vasquez as a badass who could, easily, be a better leader, or soldier than a man, or simply a better person.... its a case where mistakening her for a man would be a compliment, not criticism 🤣🤣
@@joaoluizfonseca6914 Oh, he was definitely talking smack--not to be mean, but just busting her chops. But she gave as good as she got. 🙂
Fun fact, hardly ANY computer generated imagery “cgi” in this glorious production. Meaning real people created real life effects and imagery to produce this masterpiece ❤
Zero CGI.
One slightly dodgy back-projected shot (which looked ropey at the time) but otherwise holds up well.
Not really a fun fact. CGI didn’t exist in 1986.
@@crouchingotter Star Trek II used CGI in 1982 and Young Sherlock Holmes in 1985, but it looked like 1980s graphics. There's none in Aliens.
@@miller-joel so it did. I stand corrected. I also completely forgot about TRON in 1982 which wouldn’t have worked if not for the CGI it used.
RIP to Bill Paxton. The only actor to be killed by a Predator, a Terminator, and an Alien
Lance Henriksen was too!
@@anacarolmsc COOL! Did not know that, thnx
You forgot to show the best scene. "it´s over man. GAME OVER MAN"
RIP BILL PAXTON, Legend 🕊
Almost everything out of Hudson's mouth is a meme ;)
"Why don't you just put her in charge!"
@@silikon2 true. Love how he played the same character in Predator 2^^
That was the first time we heard that line. And it instantly became part of the American lexicon.
Ripley is epitomy of Competence. From first film on, everything she does, smart, competent decisions and she learns skills. She doesn't magically have amazing set of skills. She doesn't cut corners but learns new stuff, adding her competence as heroine.
She's also genuinely feminine. A true mama bear.
Vasquez and Drake were mobile heavy machine gunners. Even today, a heavy machine gun crew could be 3-4 people. That steady cam rigg was fucking dope! And when Vasquez says Let's Rock!👌
Arguably the best sequel ever made; followed by T2, Empire Strikes Back, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and Lethal Weapon 2.
In defense of Vasquez and Drake; Gorman doesn’t tell them why they can’t fire their weapons. It isn’t Gorman’s fault either; he was a shave-tail looey with no experience thrown into a decidedly non-textbook situation.
Godfather 2
Godfather Part 2 is up there with Aliens as a sequel, albeit a totally different genre!
You can also argue that maybe none of them get out of that situation if they don't let rip and ultimately it's better to survive a little longer than to all die immediately.
I think T2 was a better sequel for the terminator than this was for alien, maybe because T2 is part of my childhood much more than alien, but still.... I'd say this one goes second, T2 goes first in my list.... but you're right, this is a masterpiece film
Nothing worse than a green Lt.
For me, the end of this movie is where the story ends.
For me, it continues in William Gibson’s version of _Alien3,_ and then the Dark Horse Comics _Aliens_ series.
Alien 3 was a crime.
@@zatoichi1 I appreciate what they tried to do with Alien 3 by bringing it back to 1 alien and no weapons, but the death of Newt and Hicks at the start ruined everything. This should have been set sometime after Newt and Hicks made it back leaving it open for a grown up Newt to be in a later sequel after Ripley's death. And speaking of Ripley's death the thing that annoyed me most was that she was still alive AFTER the queen burst out of her. That was too silly and ruined what would have been a great sacrificial death.
Alien , Predator and Terminator all end after the second movie.
I enjoy Alien:Resurrection but I think of it as a parody.
@@zatoichi1 To this day I deny that Alien 3 exists.
As much as I enjoy your humorous reactions as you're watching, it's your serious, in-depth analyses afterward that are truly impressive. You two are very good at what you do.
Sigourney Weaver was a teen model. She’s shown in the audience of an early Beatles performance.
I love the way they designed the face hugger. First it wraps its tail around the Ripleys neck and choke them until they open there mouth and then in they go.
The alien designs, all stages, were done by one man, HR Giger.
He also designed the alien form of Sil in the movie Species (1995).
I love how the writers made us believe in the beginning that Bishop would be the bad guy and Burk is the good guy. They then flip the script where Burk is actually the bad guy and Bishop is the good guy. First saw this at a surround sound theater in NYC. I came out with such a headache, but completely satisfied! Still one of my top 3 movies of all time. Great reaction guys - had me laughing all through the review! So glad to share this movie with you after all these years.
In the directors cut / special edition there’s some interesting deleted scenes:
Hudson talking about his squad of ultimate badasses on the ride down
2 scenes of robotic turrets shooting aliens
An entire scene set in Hadleys Hope where you see Newts parents find the crashed ship with the eggs
And the most import a quick scene between Ripley and Burke where we find out Ripley had a daughter and she passed away 2 years earlier at 67. Her daughter Amanda gets her own pretty damn good survival horror video game in Alien Isolation. Highly recommended.
Dude, spoiler alert!
The Hadley's Hope scene takes place soon after Ripley's debriefing, when the company is informed of the ship's (and eggs) existence. So we know someone from the company wanted the aliens.
It's amazing that they only made 4 full xenomorph costumes and used them over and over again to depict hundreds of aliens 😯
6 they made
@@deg6788thanks yoda
Something most people aren’t aware of, Lieutenant (specifically 2nd Lieutenant) is the Lowest ranking officer. ( basically the Private on the officer side).
It’s part of what makes the inexperienced Lt. Gorman the best candidate to have brought in for the mission, since Burke didn’t want to have too many surviving Marines to have to deal with on his return plan.
I was really hoping that you guys would’ve watched the special edition, which contains 17 extra minutes of very important scenes. When I finally watched the special edition, when it came out in the 90s, I was so impressed, that I refused to watch the theatrical version ever again.
Everybody misses that when Bishop says "I'm the only one qualified to remote-pilot the ship anyway" Ripley gives him a look - of course, Ripley is qualified to remote-pilot that ship - she lets him do it.
That's amazing, I must have watched this movie a hundred times and I didn't cotton on to the meaning of that look! I had always assumed it was just because of Ripley's general disdain for & distrust of Bishop at that point in the story 😂
Technically shes had her qulification revoked still
"Of course"? No. There's no indication she's qualified to remote pilot a military ship 57 years in her future. She had to train to drive the power loader. She's capable and resourceful, but she's not a Mary Sue.
@@miller-joel I would guess her "look" is because that skill/education is limited to the android, and no humans in the remaining survivors could do it. Planned by the company for a reason, and we all know she doesn't trust the company.
@@w1975b Ferro was a capable pilot. But she died in the crash. Maybe Ripley was surprised Bishop volunteered.
we used to play that knife game in school...class of 89
The queen has an egg tube that's similar to some insects. It's generated when they're fertile and can be dropped.
Guys i was your age when i rented this movie from blockbuster and watched it with my friend and it blew our minds. I am over 50 now and it remains one of my favourite movies of all time. There is a new alien movie coming out next year and a TV series which is based on earth. Disney now owns the rights to alien and they're trying to reboot the franchise. You guys are lucky, i wish i could experience aliens for the first time all over again. So glad you enjoyed this movie. Take care from here in the UK.
I spat out my drink... I LITERALLY watched your Alien reaction earlier today and was upset that you hadn't reacted to the sequel yet 😭😂
Alien was horror. Aliens is mostly action…mostly.
Well, you can’t just expect the horror to blast itself with heavy firepower. Gotta get in there, and give it some action!
“…mostly.” 😂
Not many people catch the Terminator callback when Newt bites Hicks when they first encounter her.
Recall in Terminator when Sarah Connor bites Reese and he calmly tells her, "Terminators don't feel pain...I do. Don't do that again!"
Unlike when Newt bites him he yells, "Ow!" 😁
Also in the original script, Ash was called a Cyberdyne android, ie the company that makes Skynet. This was changed to Hyperdyne in the movie.
These classic movies that are well done look so good not because of cgi, it's the practical effects! The huge queen puppet, the alien suits look so convincing! Cgi just wouldn't do it here imo! By the way, you 2 are so funny to watch!
I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. My mom was not big on taking me to see R rated movies in the theater but she wanted to see it too.
I nearly crapped my pants and had nightmares for like a week but man what an unforgettable theater experence.
I was 14 and had to convince my parents to take me. They enjoyed the ride.
Man too bad you didn’t watch the Director’s cut. You find out Ripley had a Daughter that was the same age as Newt but is now dead at age 66. It changes the whole dynamic
Cool trivia: when James Cameron was casting the role of Newt, virtually every child actor gave a very happy, bubbly audition. Then Carrie Henn came in and gave an audition for a character dead serious as well as suffering from severe PTSD.... Cameron practically hired her on the spot.
If you guys want to see what happened to the colonists and the planet you get to see partially some of that in the director's cut
You have to watch the directors cut, or at least deleted scenes, it answers so many questions. Gives more back story for Ripley.
@@angelavalentino5146 💯
@@angelavalentino5146 💯
By far 1 of the greatest sequels in movie history! Brilliant choice guys
Cam, Your favorite movie (Avatar & Avatar 2) stars Ellen Ripley, Aka Sigourney Weaver. She is legend!
The queen alien is still my favourite movie creature effect. No cgi, not a model but a full size crane-lifted puppet with hydraulics, pulleys, control rods and 16 handlers(2 inside it). And NO digital removal of those in post. Cameron used every trick (steam, slime, lighting, angles) to make sure that none of thise were visible on screen.
Just one of the reasons why this is my favourite movie.
James Cameron got his start as a practical special effects guy for Roger Corman in tiny-budget slasher flicks sometimes shot in a day or two, where he had to invent creative effects on a shoestring budget using scraps of whatever was lying around. The heavy machine gun harness that Vasquez and Drake use was cleverly put together from a steadi-cam rig, and the weird-looking transport vehicle was an obsolete airport tow truck.
"Bishop! You brought the Queen!"
Bishop ripped in two.
He's sorry.
This is my favorite movie of all time! 2nd is Terminator 2 and 3rd is Gladiator. Looooove Aliens!
Pro Tip: ALWAYS watch Cameron's films in the Director's Cut editions.
ALWAYS. 😊
The Abyss is the only one of those worth watching.
And the theatrical cut of T2 is the real director's cut.
As a teenager in 1986, I did see this on the big screen. That is an experience that is impossible to replicate these days. I am a tough guy who is hard to scare, but after this movie, anybody tapped my shoulder to get my attention up to a week after got to watch me jump-turn to see what was actually there, lol.

I saw this in the theater as a teen in 1986 and it was totally awesome. I saw the first movie in the theater as a young boy and it really freaked me out. Nothing like seeing good movies on the big screen. These are some of the movies that should be re-released in theaters today. I know I would go see them.
This movie was like an amusement park attraction in the theater. A remaster for IMAX with Dolby Atmos would be amazing. Especially for the fortieth anniversary.
I didn't see it in theater, but on HBO, late and by myself on a Saturday night. I was 12 in 1987. Still nostalgic for me.
Theaters do rerelease old movies now. Last year they did Jurassic Park for the anniversary. Check your theaters for which movies they are doing.
Edit to add, this summer they are also doing Ghibli movies too.
@@memyoldie They need to advertise it more and also make it an event! Some sort of giveaway or sell one-of-a-kind merch or have movie-related foods or tshirts, etc.
that gag reflex at the queens egg sac bleeding shows how convincing the directing in this movie was! BTW my favorite film of all time. seen it dozens of times. 47 years old now but it's been my favorite since I was 15.
I saw this opening night in Omaha, Nebraska, in the balcony of the since-demolished Indian Hills Cinema. Through November of 1986, I saw it in theaters another eight times. Then when it hit video in February ’87, we bought the Beta cassette for rental price-over $90.
Also: Y U NO WATCH SPECIAL EDITION 😡
Special Edition is great fun. But you and I both fell in love with theatrical cut. Special Edition is a treat for fans once you’ve seen the theatrical cut!
William Hope, who played the incompetent Marine lieutenant Gorman, also played Marshal Waites on Alien: Isolation, which is a video game you literally have to see to believe.
Love this movie. I play it every week when cleaning the house, which my friends tease me for. It just has the three key parts: great acting, great practical effects, and a script that does not rely on absolute stupidity from every character to propel the story forward. It makes sense that Burke’s greed made him act like he did - low personal risk crap moves. It’s understandable that the pilots didn’t realize the gravity of the situation and not be on guard from something they thought was a hallucination from extended cryo. And while Ripley was a beast in this, she showed fear and uncertainty too. Not the overly dramatized “you got this girl” crap but visceral reactions that people would actually experience. Just so good.
I love how when the motion tracker shows the Aliens coming in the complex, Newt has absolutely NO patience to wait around and see what happens... She's seen this routine already.
It's always amusing how much Cam just doesn't deal with the squelchy bits!
One of the select crop of films in which the sequel is as good as or better than the original.
When you said "I wish they did the story of what happened before Ripley and the marines got there?" they did, but it's only in a book. Audible did an audio drama of it and it's an amazing story. Sounds effects, music, voice acting the whole shebang. Just no visuals. It's called" Aliens : River of Pain" directed by Dirk Maggs. Most people don't know about this hidden gem.
At the very end of the credits, when the screen fades to pitch black ... you can hear the sound of an alien egg opening (which leads into Part III).
Funfact: The woman who plays Vasquez is the foster mom in Terminator 2
You guys gotta watch this movie called "House" made in 1986. 3 scenes in that movie traumatized me from 5 years old and I still had nightmares about those till I was 15 (I'm 37 now). Anyone who's seen that movie knows what scenes I'm talking about
Also Rawhead Rex, Arachnophobia and The Relic
No one ever seems to appreciate the writing details that James put in the script, details like when Ripley uses her engineering training (remember in the first she was the chief warrant officer Engineer on the Nostromo in the first film) to point out that firing their weapons in the power station would set off the nuclear explosion. Also, did you notice that the same actress in this film who plays Vasquez plays both the poor Irish mother with the two little kids in the film Titanic, as well as John Connor's foster mother--Janelle--in T2?
The funniest thing people (including myself) say when watching Aliens for the first time:
“Burke seems like a nice guy.”
Also, I love Cam's reactions to truly horrifying scenes - it's PURE entertainment (and you know I mean that in a good way).
Another great choice!
The actress that played Newt became a teacher. Her next movie after Aliens was in 2013. Imagine, my teacher is better than yours she survived a planet of xenomorphs.
Her and Sigourney still keep in touch.
The actor playing the 'Evil sack of sh*t', Paul Reiser took his mom to the premiere and when his character died, he said he heard her say "Good" under her breath
I wish you had watched the director’s cuts of these movies. It’s explained that Ripley had a daughter, Amanda, who had already grown old and died a short while before Ellen was found. This affects her strongly and prefigured her relationship with Newt.
Amanda Ripley is also the main character of Alien: Isolation.
This is one of my favorite movies, watching it for the first time on new years eve 1994 when I was 11. Such a perfect mix of action/sci fi/horror and bad assery❤
"It would be cool to see a sequel, like down the line where she's the main character as an adult and everything..." Remember these words, guys!
Paul Reiser's character in Aliens, Carter Burke, was so immediately hated that during the movie's premiere his sister hit him, and when Burke's death occurred, his mom's response was simply "good."
How do you make a sequel to a iconic monolith of a movie?
James Cameron does a "Hold my beer!" and creates another iconic monolith movie.
These marines have the most bada** ammo. They have explosive / incendiary bullets. Think of their bullets as tiny grenades. Theyre meant to go through tank armor. Most of the critics miss that tidbit.
Ripley, a strong female lead. Done right. And every man cheers her on and holds her in high esteem. Hollywood has completely forgotten how to do this.
Y'all are fun and hilarious. "Bishop takes Queen." Making "dad jokes" at your young age - you should be proud. Stay awesome! I am loving watching your reactions.
@44:48 - one of the best lines in all of sci-fi! LOL
You guys are so young, yet so intelligent. You're helping me to expand my vocabulary. Thanks
Good reaction but there were definite misunderstandings. Hicks using the shotgun was permitted and was one of the only properly armed people since all the heavy weapons had to be holstered.
Can I just say how lovely these two are that are so careful in some scenes to say, "Gosh", but then in others, say "Evil sack of shit", I am in awe of this couple and their friendship? It's funny, the reaction is genuine, and I love the movie choices. So good...
P.S.43:28 Well played. "Bishop jumps Queen! Knight jumps Queen! Pawns jump Queen! Gang bang!"
I have watched lots of Aliens reactions, honestly, your take is just the best! For such young people, you have the sense to make logical decisions and analyse the situation as is! Also.. the drama 😂😂 “at this point I would faint!”
fans may not recognize her, but the actresses playing Vasquez also played John Connor's foster mother in T2.
The woman that played Vasquez also played John Connors foster mother in terminator two
I got to see this at 3 years old in theaters the night it came out. Jesus Christ this was AWESOME!!!!! Once the action starts in this movie it NEVER slows down. And yes i hated when Hudson bit the dust.
You guys cracked me up. Hilarious reactions. Well done.
I remember when I first saw this, I was around 12 and when Newt said "It won't make any difference", I was like: 😳
"Bishop takes the queen".....👀👀👀👀👀. Just wait 😂🤣😂🤣
Gentlemen, I have lived a few moons and if I was stranded on an island with one choice for a movie it would be AL|ENS. There is a lot of good movies.. a lot, but this is simply my favorite movie of all time. Glad you saw it.
I wonder if the queen could give orders to the facehuggers or not. Since that one egg opened up right as Ripley and Newt were backing away.
If I'm not mistaken, there are some books that follow Nute and Hicks as main characters. I wish the sequels had gone in that direction. They sure as hell couldn't have been any worse.
To address you realising that the xenomorphs aren't as invincible in this movie, the reason you can't simply blast these things apart with military hardware in space, is because the acid will breach the hull and kill everyone aboard, even if the bullets don't. In the final scene of Alien, the xenomorph is actually injured and trying to recuperate, which is why it doesn't attack Ripley straight away. Locating the sequel on a planet surface with a crack squad of marines armed with heavy artillery was great excuse to unleash some serious alien carnage. 😁
oh my god, you're silent stunned responses to the eggs scene at 39:11 is amaze-balls
35:24 To me, one of the best arcs and acting in the whole movie is the THOUSAND YARD STARE that Lt. Gorman develops before going back to save the injured Vasquez. His face is bathed in red light, like he's a man baptized in blood and casualties. He doesnt even look like same guy at the beginning who was scared, confused, and fresh off the combat simulator.
It's a tiny detail, but his EYES are just so different after their horrific first contact. Big props to the actor for taking his role seriously.
ALSO....Hudson was my favorite ("Game over, man!" , "Whadyou mean, they cut the power?! They're animals!" ), especially since you see that even though he's crapping his pants, he's truly a fourth quarter player when the chips are down. Surrounded, outnumbered, retreating and he's chanelling all his human terror into dealing alien death. "You want some?! You want some?! Get some some! How 'bout you!? Get some! Get some!"
Waist deep in hell, he wouldnt go gentle down into that floor. They're on his legs, on his arms, on his back, and he's still pulling a trigger and talkin' smack. Those xenomorph bastards had to drag Hudson down by the face! That's a hard man.
Despite numerous comments to the contrary, you guys did right by watching the original theatrical cut. The director's cut has too much spell-it-all-out-for-you exposition, which detracts from the atmosphere of mystery and dread in the original version. Better for the audience to imagine what happened at the colony prior to the arrival of the marines. (And it's not necessary for Ripley to have had a child to understand her maternal protectiveness towards Newt!)
You're wrong. There's no "mystery" lost. That's completely made up and baseless. And there's a difference between a protective instinct and a deep sense of loss that solidifies Ripley's motivations beyond question. No one who watches the special edition first complains about any of this BS. Zero complaints about the "pacing" or the "mystery." It just works. And it works better, because there are no plot holes. The explanation for why Newt is the only survivor, why she knows the layout of the air ducts when they are escaping, and why she can evade the queen on the Sulaco, is not blatant exposition. On the contrary.
now you guys need to watch the rest of the movies 🎥 🍿
This was beyond a great experience in the theaters!!! We love Hudson.
this is one of the best sequels, behind Godfather 2, Terminator 2. I think Sigourney Weaver's father started CBS. She is a fabulous actress. One of the best. She is still beautiful.
There's nothing to say but everything about this one so I will just highlight that every scene is on point. Every single one. Obviously there are so many things to talk about but just that alone. My mother loved this movie and I have all of the cuts so many times and can't find the lull in it.
"The Aliens was just minding their business."
Were they though? To be continued...
Right? That’s almost like saying a mugger (who I guess in this case is also intent on a form of sexual assault) waiting in a dark alley is just minding their business.
I'm probably overthinking this by Zay. It looks so sad at the beginning of this video ( from 0:31 )whilst Cam was explaining what he knows of "Aliens" thus far. From Zay's eyes, it looked like he had just cried or was about to? I hope it's simply just tiredness / lack of sleep the night before.
Game over game over man that being said 1986 nominated for several oscars weaver got best actress nominated landmark for sc fi horror the Stan Winston effects are always amazing
No, it was not nominated for best picture. Which doesn't matter, because awards are irrelevant.
Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton are among the few actors who had the "privilege" of being "killed" by the Big Three: Alien, Terminator, and Predator. 😊
Saw this in theater, was 18 sitting next to my girlfriend. Scared to death trying to be cool next to her. One of best sequels ever!
Was Hudson singing a son right before the Zenomorphs got him? What I heard was " Come on. Come on, and get Babe! Come on. I ain't got all day."
Dude that was some sick reactions guys! It was a Blast to watch! Keep it up!
I had the displeasure of seeing this in the movie theater in full Dolby surround sound when it was released, and had no idea what I was in for. I had dropped two hits of blotter acid shortly before the film started! 🤯 Let's just say it was a huge mistake! Nice reaction guy's!
43:22 i legit spit out my coffee 🤣
I was in the 9th grade with this came out. My Pop and I went to every "monster" movie that came out. We had loved "Alien", but we knew the story with sequels. Well, long story short, this is still the one and only sequel that was light years beyond what was really a brilliant first film. I'm just sorry that Cameron had anything to do with it. 12:27 Why does nobody get that they're Marines? And you cut that whole opening scene with them. Bad job by you. But I know what's coming, so I keep watching... 16:01 How could that be her daughter? She was asleep for 57 years, remember? I watched your "Alien" reaction right before this. I would LOVE to go to the movies with you guys any time! Subbed! RIP Pop
Aliens is my favorite sci-fi movie of all-time! You guys should check out the extended cut in your free time. It really rounds out the story and addresses a couple of points yall brought up.
YES MY FAVOURITE MOVIEEEE !!!
I have a huge tattoo of Ripley in the PowerLoader, theres so many iconic scenes and lines and visuals in this, James Cameron is the Sequel King for sure.
I'm so excited that you guys covered this one, great reaction 😄
