![Alien: Resurrection - It's A Queen. She'll Breed, You'll Die [HD]](/img/n.gif)
Never overlook the genius of Alien's designs. Ash's innards could so easily have been represented by wires, flashing lights, circuit boards and glowing juice... The choice of waxy, white liquid oozing around rubbery tubes and bulbs is inspired. It screams 'synthetic' over 'robotic'.
They are catheter tubes for peeing.
@@chrisbarrett2117so pee is technically stored in the (synthetic) balls
I was admiring the props genius; semi-organic grossness
@@natasham7809 the more advanced the machine, the more the line between organic and synthetics gets blurred
@@natasham7809 You admire its purity. A more organic prop. Unclouded by CGI, green screen or any other illusion from current filmmaking technology.
"I can't lie to you about your chances but, you have my sympathies." Got to be one of the coldest lines in this movie.
"Oh yes, before you go, may interest you to know that you're at a solid 10 on the Fucked scale right now. Cheerio and kiss my arse."
It's because of that line that I wish Ridley Scott went with the original ending, where Ripley gets killed and the alien mimics her voice over the radio. That would have been a very chilling ending!
It could have also prevented that overrated, cash-grabbing egomaniac James Cameron from capitalizing on the hollow shell of what made this movie a perfect masterpiece of horror and suspense.
I was going to comment the exact same thing in these exact words
@@casesoutherland4175you sound like me when I talk about T2 the cash grabbing sequel compared to the masterpiece of The Terminator. But Alien$ literally was a cash grab haha
Yeah but whatever his motives, Aliens was awesome.
1:00 You can see ash’s mouth moving before he speaks like he’s trying to say “yes, I can hear you” with vocal chords, before he switches to a voicebox after they don’t work. It’s like someone switching to a different cable in a voicecall after their microphone doesn’t work. That’s a really cool detail.
that is absolutely what he’s doing there. what a great catch.
Wow I never noticed. Amazing detail

I've described my ex girlfriend this way. "Structural perfection is matched only by its hostility, unclouded by conscience, remorse and delusions of morality."

One of the most unnerving and scariest scenes in the movie. When Ash does that little smile at the end, my blood ran cold.
He smiles because he knew what was to come in the alien franchise movies
For me, the woman cloning scene is the most scary or disturbing.
Same here. He's a cold blooded psychopath whose worse then the Alien, he's truly the product of the Company's psychopath board of directors.
he a straight bastard of a character 😂😂😂 made all tha more loathesome thru repeat viewings, when u notice all tha ways in which he helps tha xenomorph survive
It's just a movie holy shit
I admire the purity of his acting. RIP Sir Ian Holm.

Rest in paradise.
It says a lot about how good this scene is that 0:34 is one of the dodgiest-looking cuts in cinema history, and yet Ian Holm's chilling performance absolutely overshadows it.
They could've done the cut while the head was obscured, I'm not sure why they didn't.
also the fact that Sigourney seems to have difficultly getting the fake head to stick down in the right way to be able to switch with Ian Holm's real head. Of course it's parts like that that make films like Alien so great. It feels real. You know the real world version why the head needs to be like that, but the in universe fumbling to get it to sit like that makes it seem far more real than using cuts to make it all seem more perfect.
@@Resi1ience Or cut back to Sigourney or someone else's face for a second.
@@Resi1ience The angle is different, the lighting even. I love Alien, but that cut was lazy af.
Lol I love that part
We are talking about a 1979 movie without fake cgi special affect. Its all pure genius cinematography from the 70's . Well done Sir Ridley Scott and his crew.
to wonderfull for words
Now Ridley Scott uses too much cgi in his movies
The Cinematographer was a man named Derek Vanlint. I had the pleasure of working for him for some years. I learned a lot about the industry in those years.
The film is amazing, but it does blow me away how little they matched the stuff/makeup all over the real actor's face compared to the dummy head for the robot. None on the real actor's lips, or left side of his chin, when the dummy is basically caked with the stuff. I feel the effect could have been nearly seamless had they matched it more.
all thanks to stan winston
"I can't lie to you about your chances, but you have my sympathies."
That's the scariest line in the movie for me. I think this line best conveyed how utterly F***ED they are
"Crew: Expendable". What a chilling line. The horror when the remaining crew realize that their company used them as bait to get the creature.
What a bunch of a**holes! They underestimate how deadly the Xenomorph is!
Wait, that mean the company knew there were alien eggs on that ship?
@@alvaro3089 Presumably, yes.
@alvaro3089 They knew about the Space Jockey Ship because it was sending out a Radio Transmission Beacon. The Company also knew the Beacon was a warning, and not an SOS.
The Company wanted a dangerous Alien Lifeform to create a mechanized bio-weapons program based off of studying the Alien.
@@alvaro3089 See my other comment.
1:41 His delivery of ‘You can’t.’ is absolutely outstanding. Cold and final.
Also the only line he says with his vocal chords and not the voicebox
Not a single eye flicker.

You still don’t understand what you’re dealing with, do you?
Perfect organism, it’s structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
- You admire it?
I admire its purity, a survivor ... Unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality …
"Look, I have heard enough of this and I'm asking you to pull the plug!!!"
Not much of a survivor.
It invented an equally pure organism that exterminated it.
While it was trying to create a pesticide to take out what it considered vermin.
Nobody sets decent mousetraps anymore.
Yes, we saw the scene too
Yautja: hmmmm... interesting (sharpening his armblade)
It's in our nature to be clouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality. From our standpoint, the alien is "pure," but calling it pure is also a byproduct of our morality or rationality.
I can't even imagine the horror the audience must hv felt when they first watched it in theatres!
The finest space horror films of all time
The electronic gurgling really, really sold this scene in the theatre. The movie was loud, so the jump scares were brutal.I even squinted a couple times cause I didn't wanna see the actual biting lol.
I was a teen, It took me hours to get to sleep lol.
As I was dozing off a book fell over, in my room, and scared the shit out of me and my buddy who was staying over, we laughed our asses off.
😱🤣 Good times!
Great movie, created a genre of its own, but i could never understand this talk of perfect organism, absolutely hostile towards everything living and so on. The damn creature could not even catch the cat even if its life depend on it. The cat was the perfect organism, it didn't have to do anything but to be friendly😊 to live a comfortable and cozy existence, with the humans serving him.
@@pedrocacela1885 ya that was pretty stupid considering in the following films a few bullets could take out the xenos...
But then when u think about it from a weaponising perspective...it kinda makes sense...
Weyland Yutani wanted to use it's "blood" or skin as armour maybe or idk train it to fight it's enemies?!
It's a hostile creature that just keeps killing anything but doesn't really feed once it's born...
But once u check out the Alien Predator lore...a lot of things fall in place
In these films the editors are the real villains as they cut out the parts that gives perspective to it's viewers about why they do what they do(the Deacon, which is the ancestor of the xenomorph, is a creature worshipped by the Engineers... is actually a gentle creature that has life/species saving properties)
My father watched this in the theater in 1979 and said it was the scariest thing he'd watched in ages.
Several people ran out of our local cinema when this was first released 😱
Ian Holm is one of the reasons Alien was so good... RIP.
Verdaderamente
He was also good as the evil doctor/Jack the Ripper in "From Hell".
he dead???
say psych
Don't exaggerate 😂
This to me, was the most chilling scene of the movie. Some consider the chestburster scene as the pivot of this movie - to me, it is this scene - when the crew are finally told what it is they are dealing with - a perfect organism, whose structural perfection is matched only by its hostility, a survivor -unclouded by conscience, remorse and delusions of morality. One of the greatest lines in the history of cinema.
I think what’s terrifying they’re being told it’s a soulless killing machine with no hesitation in following it’s natural instincts. They can’t fight it so they have very little choices and time against them as it will eventually get them.
One of the greatest lines in the history of cinema??
C’mon man, let’s not exaggerate here

All the actors in this film delivered excellent performances.
What was with the a beads in the throat though? Why were they put there lol
@@S-fn3oe just scifi cyborg organs. Most likely sensory nodes connected with tubed wiring.
After 45 years and 5 sequels they've tried to reach this peak again and they never got close.
Probably because Ridley Scott set out to make an 'arty' film using both British and American actors and he deliberately pointed up the on-set tensions between them which gave the film its atmosphere of brooding menace and fear as the crew are picked off one by one until only Ripley survives.
Everyone remembers the classic scene where John Hurt 'gives birth' to the Alien being which explodes from his chest - and in that sense the film works on a Freudian level - fear of giving birth to a monster - or 'Teratophobia' as the Greeks called it.
The second film in the 'franchise' - 'Aliens' from 1986 deliberately set out to be a 'blockbuster' type film - probably to rake in the box office millions with its themes of revenge, soldiers at war and the rescue of 'cutesy-wutesy' American little girls - which as a result suffered in comparison to the dark, brooding qualities of the first film.
@@user-wp8vy8le3y The only sequel they could really do was an Aliens style blockbuster but instead they keep trying to remake the first movie and repeatedly fumble it.
Truth be told its sadly because you can never truly recreate the unknown/unknowable angle of the Alien in that 1st film in any sequel to it because it ceased to be entirely unknown by films end and there was no way to unring that bell once rang. Aliens was the most successful sequel in that it raised the stakes because there were know hundreds if not thousands of Aliens to con tend with but after that there was no where to go with the concept.
@@user-wp8vy8le3yExcellent analysis.
Alien 3 is literally this, but more gore and less good looking faces.
I've memorized this entire scene because I always come back to watch it!!! Amazing performance from everyone here, RIP Sir Ian Holm.
You've memorized it? Wow.
Yes and the kind of sadistic comment he said in the end with that smirk was just perfection.
If you memorized it already then why do you even bother re-watching it?

Apparently the cast of Ian shrank which is why it looks different
R I P Sir Ian Holm, thank you for all your acting efforts, including this one in the movie Alien
For some reason, this dialogue about their chances of survival and Ash's parting grin made me think of HAL's line from 2001: "Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult."
Ian Holm one of the first Sci fi villains. You can understand why she hated andriods after the first one. Ash was horrible and pretty calculated and evil but Bishop was brave and completely the opposite willing to sacrifice for the marines and ripley.
Imagine if the company had sent an andriod all the more like Ash rather than like Bishop in the proceedings of Aliens. Such a hypothetical android could have teamed with Burke, in quite dastardly and sinister fashion, indeed.
Erm not the first by a long shot
Bishop said that it is impossible for him to hurt a human? Ok but minutes before he was f*cking around with Hudson's hand doing his fast knife trick?
@@maratonlegendelenemirei3352 Bishop does a shifty in Aliens a couple of times
@@maratonlegendelenemirei3352 well to be fair Hudson was having his hand held down by drake I believe and then Bishop put his hand on top so no force was used by Bishop to hold Hudson down. I guess it was a loophole but a fun one hence why they did it lol.

0:35 - 0:36 ... The effects in this film are great and hold up very well, but that cut always drove me nuts. Really wish they had put a short insert between them to mask it.
Yeah, it's not just that the change from the fake head to Ian Holm's real head is obvious - the cut is sloppy regardless. There's not enough of an angle change.
I remember reading somewhere that the fake head didn't set up correctly when they were making it, and there wasn't time to create another due to time/budget constraints
@@RetroWorkShop773 But they didn't need to make another fake head, they just needed to cut away to a reaction shot of the other characters. It would've made the transition between the fake and real head so much smoother.
Yeah, Alien is obviously a very good movie, but that cut is *bad.* There are just little bits of sloppiness here and there in the movie that separate it from, say, a Kubrick-level masterpiece.
Weaver was absolutely stunning.
Think she looked even better in Ghostbusters
Would do crazy things to be her husband
The sound design in this scene is absolutely wonderful.
The acting the script writing... I admire it's purity. Not clouded by corruption, no delusions of morality.
Didn't blink once. Superb acting.
Dude got mad ill from this....the lights made the yogurt and milk turn bad in minutes and he had to do it over and over.
This film was way ahead of its time still better than all the space films post 2000
That smug smile at the end.😂
Yeah .. Haha.. he's basically saying that Y'ALL ARE DEAD .
The original “Troll Face”.
"I admire its purity, a survivor... Unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality." - I always wondered if Ash was hinting at his own existence here, that he was indignant of the morality and directives programmed within himself. That the alien was a freer version of himself.
Also as a kid the milky fluid coming out of him freaked me out.
When Ash said "I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality", to me all of this was more of a declaration of jealousy rather than an admission of admiration. The superior model, or even the alien, wouldn't bother with words, and Ash was made by humans - so by proxy, he was riddled with human flaws/impurities.
And he knew it, up to and before the moment he decided to deliver his final words that served nothing other than to put a smile on his face. That smile was more than enough evidence if the rest of his actions haven't convinced you.
When Ash says that he admires the alien's "purity" (with purity meaning lack of emotion, remorse and morality) I wonder if Ash, despite his final mockery, was somewhat unhappy of having to sacrifice his shipmates.I mean, the fact that he admires the alien for the lack of these feelings may suggest that he was somewhat bothered by the same feelings that went against his orders.
I am not saying that he was a poor innocent victim of his own programming, I am merely saying that perhaps there were more of his personality that we may have not see.
Ash was likely programmed with morality to begin with, but when "All other priorities are rescinded" kicked in, his morality went right out the window. Thus, a delusion of morality if it can be discarded at a whim.
If his AI is advanced enough to be indistinguishable from a human to the rest of the crew, he surely must have eventually developed a certain level of attachment to them. He believes in conscience, because he had one and what he was doing went against it. He believes in remorse, because he regretted the sacrifice of his comrades. But he refers to morality as a delusion, because despite everything he “felt” it all meant nothing in the face of his mission at hand.
Ash feels like he is a bird in a cage. A slave programmed with codes and restrictions doing people's bidding being unhappy with his own existence. Admires the xenomorph who is truly free to do anything it wants without needing to feel any human emotions... like a wild animal
This idea was flawlessly explored in Space Odyssey 2010, where they had to revive evil inteligent computer from 2001 and released it from direct order which lead to that unfortunate consequences. It's remorse was pallable.
Are you kidding Tony? He tried to kill Ripley.
Merciless unemotional machine giving it to you straight. Good scene from a great film.
It was emotional...and synthetic
Not a complete machine
That's what makes Ash a cold blooded (synthetic liquid ed) Android!
He had been designed with emotions and an appetite so the humans around him could feel comfortable...
It even had a conscious mind..but one that thought objectively, to the extreme!
A robot can be forgiven for being a mere design and for being flawed...but a thinking organism that wants to harm u? That's Evil!
Scott going from a beautifully filmed period piece (The Duellists) to a groundbreaking sci-fi/horror film in a relatively short time period for his next project, was amazing. Especially because The Duellists is such a fantastic film.
The look on her face when he says "last word" 😂
I always thought he said "not through".
They really should have cut away to a reaction shot when she was trying to straighten out his head.
Agreed, the transition was too obvious.
Yeah the continuity doesn't really work does it.
Should have had someone walk by in that moment
I think that was the point.. to push cinematic boundaries and see if it was "able to sell the audience" the notion of a plastic head coming alive.WITHOUT EDITS. I think to 1979 eyes it was probably legit amazing.
its a bit like, in kung fu "Do you do 4 cuts or do you have your film star actually learn how-to back flip into a round house?" People prefer the Jackie Chan way
@@con_boy I agree, the special fx were actually quite good for the time. Even as a kid in the 90's, I didn't really notice the edit.
Epic film. No CGI.

This scene is so perfect, I love how Ash attempts to hold back his smile just before "you have my sympathies" then gives his cold blooded smile.
Absolutely one of the best movies of all time, matched only by its very own sequel "Aliens".
One of my favourite scenes. This whole movie is so good, full of eerie despair, towards the inevitable.
Ash is the role that I’ll always remember Ian Holm best for. R.I.P., Ian.
Rip you amazing actor!
I almost forgot how good this movie is.
That jump shit from fake to real reminded me of my old videos I made as a child with my parents video camera
Still one of the best Sci Fis out there
Cannot believe that this is a 1979 movie. The visual quality makes it look like it is from the 2010s!
It's only the landing scene and the um.... explosion that they fell down on. I always, even as a kid, thought those retros that looked like smoke candles were bad. The Alien in a few of the longer cuts is very obviously a rubber suited man, but overall they did an amazing job on a low budget and and with practical effects. It was ahead of its time. I absolutely hated taking the trash out to the end of our 1/8 mile driveway at night after watching that as a kid.
The movies that I always remembered. 🥰
Fun fact, the android's "blood" is actually tapioca pudding.
"You have my sympathies"
The *Slap in the face heard around the world and in Horror Cinema*
"Bring back lifeform, Priority 1, all other priorities rescinded"
This was defiantly a fresh take on robots. It was genius bc we don’t know how they will actually look. They could have gone mechanical but they chose something that was something wild and foreign . I’m sure they won’t look like this but it captured the feeling that technology is going to be something we can’t imagine. We already gotten there in my lifetime since this movie came out. I’m watching this clip of a movie from childhood on something I hold in my hand that is a flat as cardboard and can answer any question I have about the world in a matter of seconds. My childhood mind would be blown if I told them it would be real and everyone would have one.
What an star one of my favourites I'll never forget. Xx
0:48 I just love how DONE Ripley is with Ash's bs.
This is my favorite scene in the entire Alien franchise because of the layers of its writing and execution. It’s the “company’s” explanation of why the Nostromo crew was sent to bring back the life form. The scene was written by a company man (Walter Hill of 20th Century Fox) after Dan O’Bannon submitted the original script.
In totality it is the company’s explanation of the fictional company’s motive. Company intervention begets company intervention. It’s a kaleidoscope of capitalism and kind of brilliant.
In my opinion (and I'm in the super super minority on this), Alien should have never been turned into a franchise. This movie is on a particular special type of pedestal that should not be tampered with or touched. It's my second favorite horror movie of all time and it's literally the only horror film that has made me cry out of fear. Lambert's death, while entirely off screen, is the most horrific movie death in cinema history!
As far as the sequels go, I've only watched Aliens and Alien 3 once. I hated both of them and I could only watch about the first 10 minutes of Resurrection before I shut it off. I will never ever watch Prometheus or Alien Covenant, because I already know they're going to be crap.
I'll even go a step further! I think Ridley Scott should have gone with the original ending: where the alien kills Ripley and mimics her voice over the radio. It would have made Ash's words even more disturbing!
What's ironic in saying this is that O'Bannon vehemently objected to having this plot twist in the movie. Roughly as he said it, "It was an idea of lesser minds brilliantly directed by Ridley Scott." If you read between the lines in interviews O'Bannon and the producers did not get along.
This movie truly set the standard. A masterpiece in Sci-fi for so many to follow and copy, but not always successfully...
Masterpiece, the same as Blade Runner. Two pieces of art.
"I admire it's purity; a survivor. Unclouded by conscious, remorse or delusions of morality." You have to give it to the writers. Ash's expression of admiration, though disturbing, is still the stuff of poetry.
Never realised how realistic and creepy this scene is
Well the transition from the doll into the actor is kind of goofy
@@franzhalls2174 I agree that part has aged, but the atmosphere and acting are excellent.

Why was this video uploaded to UA-cam with such a low volume level? I cranked up my system volume and it's still quieter than I'd like.
Star Wars was such a deep movie. Thanks for post this.
Lol
This movie is brilliant! Really, what’s not to love? The face huggers, and chestburster, and the xenomorph are all scary enough in this movie, but to find out that one of the crew members was a droid, undercover planning to take the specimen under the government’s orders, and using the rest of the crew for a life or death mission is just terrifying. Even when he explained the situation to the rest of the crew, and pretty much told them they had no chance of survival, he remained cold towards them, and went out with a smirk. It makes you feel even more unsafe for the characters. This movie nailed everything perfectly.

Ash's description of the alien is exactly why the predators love hunting them.
The "purity" that ASH admires is the core of evil itself.
What is the core of evil? I think I disagree. The alien was no more evil than the humans, and ash admired it as a survivor.
@@WALDENSOFTWARE "The core" = Total incapacity to feel compassion to anyone but himself. But i may be wrong.
@ Oh. To me that is evil, but not the core. The core would be intentionally inflicting sadistic torture which I don't think the alien did (not sure about Lambert). I could be wrong also, but went by the way Ash said "a survivor" right after.
The alien doesnt even have enough conscious to know what something evil means.
@@laurazambrano798 It doesn't need to know to be tho
The Alien was such a huge threat that they were willing to destroy the entire ship just to kill it. And even that didn’t work! Truly terrifying.
I definitely like the initial quiet’ish part of them fixing it carefully, testing it, positioning it, powering it back up
sometimes i forget how much i love this movie

That’s the drop in quality from Aliens to Alien 4 onwards.3 - was a battleground between the studio execs and Fincher. The rest? Possibly the worst films I have ever watched. Especially galling is the fact that after Aliens Dark Horse Comics developed and expanded the Alien reality, tying it in with the Predators and it all got tossed.
I enjoyed the third one too. I don't think I've seen the rest, though.
Alien 3 is underrated.
Alien Resurrection is a steaming dog turd.
For those of you who don’t know, Alien and Blade Runner are actually in the same universe.
During the early 21st Century, Peter Weyland (founder of Weyland-Yutani) and Niander Wallace (founder of Wallace Corporation) were on a race to create the perfect android, something that Wallace perfected to a T with the creation of the Nexus-9 Replicants. Weyland never managed to defeat Wallace in this area, though his androids are far more terrifying in my opinion. As confirmed by Blade Runner 2049, certain Replicants (Deckerd and Rachel) are able to reproduce “naturally”, something Weyland could only dream of.
Alien and Blade Runner are actually in the same universe? But there is only one Universe, no?
@@ALLROY240 Yeah, exactly. There is one "universe" of which we're aware, and we're all part of it, as are _Blade Runner_ and _Alien,_ which are stories and should be treated as such, not as corporate-speak "universes", where "universe" is a stand-in for an elevator pitch to Hollywood suits
It’s the Val Verde universe, which includes Predator, Die Hard, Total Recall, Commando, Speed, Soldier, Terminator, Robocop, Avatar, Battlestar Galactica,
perfect editing lmao
You have my sympathies. What a great meme
Great scene
Pity about the cut. They're going for continuity but the head is visible during the cut, and the framing and lighting is different.
best film of the series.
Lol that cut from rubber head ash to the actual actor always kills me. I know it was great for the day but still hilarious.
Never understood why Scott used such a blatant jump cut in this scene.
I know, so many other ways to do the transition from fake to real head without it being quite so obvious and jarring!
Probably just one of those things where the SFX head didn't work out quite as good as they'd hoped and they didn't have any other decent shots to move away from it when editing. I'm not sure why the prosthetic head was so bad; everything else in the film is top quality. A minor flaw in a classic movie.
They should have just not done a direct cut at all. It's not just that the head wasn't good enough, the two scenes do not match. His body, the 'milk' blood-covered set in the background etc all didn't match.
Cutaway from the fake Ash head to Sigourney, then cut back to the real actor just as he wakes up. The prop head was actually pretty good for the time, certainly good enough to shoot it like this..
Right?? The one misstep in an otherwise perfect movie.
I read somewhere the material on the fake head dried up very quickly under the studio lights and that they didn't have the time or the money to make a new one. I also think it's the weakest effect of the whole movie
the jump cut kills the awesome SFX 00:36
Just rewatched the movie. It is not outdated one bit. Definitely a masterpiece that they've been trying to duplicate for 40 years.
