I was always terrified watching Bishop in this scene be out there so exposed and alone. This movie nailed it’s atmosphere.
He knows he's safe, the xenos don't care about him thank god
@@roneystapes there was a scene that wasn't added to the movie where he is in the pipe and goes past a xeno that has no interest in him as he isn't human.
Thought of the day... what if the marines had T800's, and were able to deploy them from the Sulaco =)
@@billcarson9565 T800s stomp, hard. Xenos wont recognize them as a threat, neither have interest in the as they are not suitable for incubation.... Easy work
@@Mago.- would they attack the T800's once they were being attacked though?
@@billcarson9565 I think so, yeah, but unless they can spit acid (They can in some games, not movie canon tho) theres nothing they can actually do.
Xenos will try to rapt people most of the times, they RARELY straight up murder someone (Hive scene doesnt count, who wouldnt fuck up someone coming into your house and trying to still your wifes? [Reference to people being used for reproductive porpouses] )
So rapting the t800 aint an option, so eventually they will learn to attack them on sight, but theres nothing actually they can do.... Unless impaling the t800 core cell straight with its tail, but thats also a win for a t800 due to the core cell being a little NUKE.
Unless its a 1v1, then its a tie.
T800s are more durable, it wont back down from its target unless comanded to (Unlike aliens, whom have some kind of inteligence, this being proven by them learning to not go straight to a machine gun fire gallery in Aliens 1986.) T800s are stronger, and better equiped for combat.... It aint a fair fight honestly
You can use CGI all you want folks, but god I love old effects
Funny thing is this is still better than some CGI :D
Amen to that
CGI has made movie production lazy
These practical effects still holds up today, no doubt!
When filming Alien (1979), that blue light they used when decending down where those eggs where. They borrowed that laser light from the band The Who who was filming next door. :)
Always loved bishop's response "We're not?" when asked how much time was left. He was happy to have completed the task just to find out they still have to cut it close even more haha
in the navy we called that an obtw
The subsequent portion of the movie may be pretty wicked and perhaps kind of awesome (the xenomorph queen, some of her guard xenomorphs, the whole alien queen's nest, and all), but it is also ridiculous and basically absurd. Nobody in their right mind would decide to venture into the depths of the colony and the alien nest, and so very easily, so clearly, plus so very obviously greatly risk his or her personal life, simply to hopefully rescue a little girl of whom the person has not at all gotten to know particularly well and of whom has already been handily abducted by the xenomorphs. But it is a movie, and a great and classic movie, and the whole portion of Ripley venturing into the depths of the colony and well-into the alien nest is rather wicked and awesome, at the same time, nonetheless. Great sci-fi, action, and basically horror.
@@gregholman2431 This film touches up on topics of motherhood and loss. Ripley had just come back from cryosthasis to Earth to learn her daughter had died of old age, and wanted to redeem herself as a mother by rescuing Newt
@@gregholman2431 Ahhhh, I beg to disagree and point out that the Normandy Invasion would be a prime example of humanity against all odds. Fire Fighters entering a burning structure to rescue a little girl or a litter of kittens, puppies etc. If you love someone so much, you’ll face down anything to save them. So regardless sci-fi or not the movie does an excellent job representing the will of mankind. The aliens lost.
@greg Holman - The police in Uvalde certainly wouldn’t rescue that little girl
This movie was truly something else. It’s rare for a sequel to be as good as the first movie.
you mean better this and terminator 2 are the greatest sequels ever made
When I think of movies that would be "hard to pull off" - ALIENS is top of the list. Cameron not only pulled it off he made it perfectly
it was better
Aliens was far better than Alien
@@johng.3740they we’re different types of movie. You have suspense horror vs. action sci fi.
Both are stand alone phenomenal films.
People tend to give Ripley the credit, but Bishop is hands-down the hero of this movie. He willingly went out and flew the ship down. He could have escaped by himself. He could have told Ripley "too bad" and left without Newt. He gladly straps in and helps knowing the odds are against survival. Without him, everyone dies. Ripley kicks the hornet's nest needlessly, as everything was going to die anyway, and Bishop alone pays the price for her recklessness. He's the real MVP.
Ripley did what she had to; the queen was about to send a thousand face-huggers after her.
Bruh he is a robot
Not bad, for a human. .
Yeah but Bishop going along with Ripley's plan to save Newt ultimately cost all of them their lives. Although, I'll attribute most of that fault to the writers and their horrible storyline for Alien 3.
You the real MVP Bishop!
1:26 I love this dialogue!! :D
”We’re not leaving!!”
”We’re not?!”
"We're not?"
Flies right back into the lion's den.
This film is amazing because Jim Cameron and the actors made everyone watching it feel like we were a billion light years from Earth.
Except for the usual American action movie thing; they don't bloody guard the doors and get surpriosed like kiddos.
Yep look at the enviornment, dark and scary as hell also the Technology feels real and not glamorized, which is
just as important as having good monster FX (which Aliens has tons of)- this movie is almost too good
Bishop's calm is incredible
While he is a Synthetic, he is a fully realised virtual artificial intelligence with the equivalent of 'moods'.
There was to a be a scene where a xeno detects Bishop through an open or broken section of the access crawlway, the xeno can't sense him once he stops moving and seems to stare right at Bishop before moving on. The scene was to show Bishop staring wide eyed, pursed lipped, his situational processors working overtime as he stares back at the xeno waiting to be grabbed. The scene was intended to show Bishop exhibiting his equivalent of fear.
That particular Bishop model was designed as an operations assistant and technician for Marine operations and has the logic, intelligence, and 'personality' to handle quickly evolving situations. He is limited in emotion, but he does have them in a sense. Lance did well to give a smirk, scowl, surprised look, concentration, and thoughfulness to a very advanced synthetic model.
In one of the Comics a sythetic named Edith cries out in rage as xenomorphs attack 'her' humans, who she has the equivalent of 'affections for', Edith attempts to intervene and is torn apart by the Xenos.
I would have been like "SHIT!!! IM GONA DIE! THE ALIENS COULD KILL ME AT ANY TIME! I COULD CRASH THE SHIP
WITH ONE MISTAKE! OH FUCK FUKFUKFUFKFUK!!!"
@@worsethanhitlerpt.2539 With that kind of handling under pressure, you would probably have already gotten captured by the aliens when they came under the floor of the operations room.
Cameron might have butted heads with the British set designers - but by GOD did he owe them a debt of gratitude for this movie because they did a first class job!
The intensity of this movie, and this scene.
Above all other scenes, this one scared me the most as a child. Knowing that you could escape, yet deciding to fly your rescue vehicle into the alien's hive to rescue someone who is very likely already doomed.
Even as a kid, I realized the enormity of this choice and used to wonder how hard it would be to decide either way.
Notice how, until that last shot of the 2nd drop ship flying thru the atmosphere processor, all of the effects are practical. Rear projection and models, no optical printing (until the last one).
Notice how much better the practical stuff looks. Optical printing was a revolution in special effects, but it still always had an unrealistic, almost stop-motion look to it.
The practical effects look 100% real. Cameron knew this, which is why he used it so much!
I noticed that and smiled
Yeah, chemical-based optical printing for visual effects from _The Ten Commandments_ (1956) onward was janky as hell due to black matte lines and having to get frames lined up exactly to combine elements into a composite until minicomputer alignment and digital compositing came along..
That's why on a lot of Derek Meddings' effects-featuring movies such as _Moonraker_ (1979) for the outer space sequences, they tried multiple exposures so to wind back the film in the camera magazine to start so they could put a new element on top of the old ones so you didn't get as many matte lines or garbage matte boxes.
For the multiple exposure process, you might first...
1) The painted background starfield (black painted on glass with holes backlit to represent stars)
2) Rewind the film in the camera magazine to leader to film and place the planet Earth or maybe the Moon on top
3) Rewind the film back again to photograph an element like a space station and so on for a space shuttle
4) Lather, rinse and repeat for floating astronauts, explosions, laser bolts, or other elements.
Time consuming, of course, but less degradation of the film negatives and their elements when compositing.
I love James Cameron's fiction films, they give a realistic air of modernity, but at the same time they keep the humanity of their characters, he can make a movie in outer space or under the sea with impressive realism
That musical score at the end is just phenomenal! Fills me up with excitement, suspense, and “Oh, Yeah! Get some!”. James Horner was a genius composer.
Great James Horner score... RIP
It's crazy how good this movie is!!!
1:39 One of my favourite scenes. The Dropship looks like it's literally flying into the Mouth of Hell!
Total anguish. I love it.
When the dropship lands and its almost totally dark except for the headlights this is beautiful stark realistic
film making - not glitzy "spectacular" bullcrap like everywhere else
- You're right, man, Bishop should go! Good idea!
Cracks me up everything 😂
MVP: Bishop
In the director's director cut after patching into the antenna, he realizes he forgot to write down the password to log in to the sulaco computer, and has to crawl back up the pipe to get it.
This is possibly my favourite comment on UA-cam
I prefer the non-directors director cut.
I thought he had to answer some security questions he couldn’t remember the answers to. I must’ve seen a different version.
He was foiled by the captcha.
The real problem is that Bishop doesn't have a street he grew up on or a friend from first grade
My passion for this movie comes from scenes like this one, with Bishop in the pipeline, reaching for the antenna, getting it into position and finally sending the signal to call the "lifeboat"... Full tension.
And then, to know that they will have to go back to the processor and look for the girl... Total anguish.
Because I know how to handle that kind of emotion, I consider it one of the best films of all time.
The atmosphere processor is cool but terrifying
What makes it even more terrifying is that at this point it’s already in the process of a meltdown, and there’s only a few hours available before it blows up.
@@619AGT 26 minutes till it blows
It makes you uneasy, sitting sparking and glowering in the background
This was my best scene- bishop ( Lance Hendrickson) did great.
Of course I love how she goes back for Newt. It's beautiful for a myriad of reasons.
I just can't shake how hypocritical it is.
Not 3 hours ago, she talked MARINES into abandoning their own people based on how sure she was they were being Impregnated only minutes after the attack.
Then she turns around and risks her life, Hick's, AND Bishop's to rescue the kid, whose been there much longer.
Glad it worked out, just....funny how what is and isn't feasible changes based on personal priority.
The difference is that Newt was wearing the locator wristwatch, so Ripley knew she still had a chance of finding her.
Obviously Ripley felt the Colonial Marines were expendable....shame on her.
Newt was abducted in the complex with few drones left, The others were abducted in the middle of the hive. The distance between the complex and the hive was significant too. Ripley was flying black to the hive while the drone was walking back. So Newt had a réalistic chance of not Béeing yet impregnated.
Ripley didn’t want more people to get killed trying to find the captive Marines in an unknown location. In the case of Newt, Ripley would be the only one to risk her life. She would only have been hypocritical if she had asked Bishop and Hicks to go with her, which she did not.
Having said that, I wish Hudson, Vasquez and even Gorman had survived.
@@licmir3663 same. Same.
Remember, bring LOTS of ammo, make sure those sentry guns have quadruple ammo canisters.
1:05 Such a great shot. A welcome sight indeed.
Looks very similar to Terminator 1/2 future war scenes. Like it's an incoming HK. Guess Cameron just likes this kind of stuff!
Genius movie...epic. Superbly written with GREAT characters.
Bishop was a RIDER! A true G.
The dropship coming in to land still looks 100% authentic. Nearly 40 years later and CGI still can't beat a well photographed model on a high speed camera.
Ripley: We’re not leaving.
Bishop: We’re not? I may be synthetic, but I’m not stupid……like you humans. 😄😄
And this is when Metroid and Super Metroid were born. Mother Brain, and Samus
So sad to think the result was worst... anyway its always a real pleasure to see Bishop manage to bring this dropship 02
Damn the lag between the input to dropship must be crazy.
Bishop was rockin with that 5G, no lag whatsoever.
depending on the gravity of lv426, the orbiting position of the sulaco, what type of wireless technology they're using, ie tight beam, radio etc, the time lag could anywhere between a few seconds to possibly minutes. i believe the time lag between nasa and the iss is about several seconds.
@@Tipi83 Cheech Marin: "Give me another hit, maybe we'll get 8G!"
@@sunny-sq6ci its 3 seconds to the moon.. the Sulaco would be in low orbit and LV426 is much smaller than even our moon.. so it would be more than close enought that light speed is not a factor
@@sunny-sq6ci laser maybe? Has there any attempt to use laser to communicate and send data?
Ironically, if Ripley had abandoned Newt and flew out of there then Hicks, Bishop, and Ripley would have ultimately survived...
All or nothing man
But then newt would've died. Also, why do people use ironically in all the wrong places...
Leave No Man Behind
LoathsomeBear or Child
@@HAL--vf6cg I think the use of ironic is correct here. It's ironic that by going in to save Newt, she doomed herself and several others in the process. By trying to save a life, she extinguished several others. It's the same irony behind getting run over by an ambulance, particularly if that ambulance had come explicitly to save your life.
I've always wondered how was it possible not leaving any commander or officer on the main ship. It's completely against logic
That's the great plot hole in this movie.
Yet another fault in logic is that they didn't come up before with the idea of remote piloting this other dropship from the Sulaco
@@ravensong9030 It is all done fully automated to reduce workload on human beings.
"Smart tech", which as usual leaves humans up the creek if a situation deviates wildly outside normal parameters and there's no human backup available to override the bots and change the rules.
100%. I love the movie and can deal with it, but it does seem like a glaring plot hole.
Sabotage. Didn't you understand the plot? The mission was literally designed to fail.

"Ripley, in 28 minutes, this place is going to be a dust cloud the size of Nebraska." LOL.
It’s funny that even with all this tech it all comes down to wiggling the antenna around.
RICK LONG CANBERRA NERDS INC ! WAS A YOUNG NERD BACK WATCHING THIS 😂
Now that I am watching this. I wonder why they haven't done this right away. Like the moment the first ship was blown up. They had enough time set up a barricade, collect weapons from the APC and everything. But no one thought to get to the array of the collony and call in the second drop ship.
They are out in the open space, they need to find a safe place to hide and confine before they can continue the call for the ship. Another point is that Bishop was not with them when the dropship crashed. Hudson was sure they were trapped when the APC transmitter was wasted.
The only flaw I can find is that they talk about staying the perimeter for 17 days to hold out when they can actually align the dish and call the 2nd dropship. There is no need to hold out for 17 days lol. In fact if they have realized that earlier and seal Bishop outside rather than inside the complex, they would have escape way before the aliens could ambushed them.
There's gonna be a cloud about the size of Nebraska
They made the nuclear explosion out of a light bulb covered in cotton!! Seriously
Lol.. I guess it made no sense to leave someone behind on the ship.
It made no sense not to quite frankly.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 lol. I was being sarcastic of course.
Perfect movie
Best movie ever, fight me.
Its what all other monster movies want to be but for real.
It always seemed strange to me that there is this big military ship (Sulaco) and all the crew is a squad of marines, an android and a corporate jerk and they all left the ship at once. No officers, no engineers, no mechanics, no cooks, no reserve pilots for the reserve dropship, not a single soul is serving on that ship.
The scenes of Bishop alone always make me wonder if he was listening in over the radio when the others were attacked in operations. They were like 10 minutes off from a clean getaway.
I guess he did, becz he didnt ask Ripley what happen to the others, or surprised that Hick was literally struggling to walk and screaming in pain.
I always thought 26 minutes was way too short a time for all that they go through afterwards
They're on plot time. It's always just enough time.
@@jursamaj At least they follow the movie runtime within 26 mins. I would have laugh if Ripley took 30 mins of movie run time to save Newt lol.
Going into the belly of the beast. This scene always terrified me with the enormity of the situation. Would you have the courage to go into the lair of such horror for the chance to save a person you care for, jeopardizing your own escape?
The music, visuals and atmosphere are completely unmatched by anything.
This movie is just AMAZING
Why not have a support crew and backup units on the Sulacco?
Ultimately the company wanted to bring back frozen specimens for its weapons division, so they wanted to be discreet, and not go too big
@@WantonMyth Why do some people believe that Burk was carrying out a plan someone had actually thought through when the facts of the story clearly say otherwise?
As the Screenrant Movie Pitch guy would say, "I don't know!"
Wouldn’t have mattered, they wouldn’t have let anyone back in bird the ship after the first drop ship crashed anyway.
@@jonnybirchyboy1560 that's a valid point. If you remember back to the first movie if Ash hadn't violated quarantine the whole damn movie would have been completely different.
this is the LEGEND.
now that's the drone I want
Thats the quickest 50mins flight time
Aliens is my favorite one out of all of them.
Thank you!
Such a great movie. Not a bad performance anywhere. Seems kind of dumb that there was nobody left in control of the ship in orbit.
I guess it was a standard procedure honed over years or even decades. To them, such a question would be akin to asking us why we wouldn't leave someone at home to guard the proverbial fort when we go to work...
There are massive tactical holes throughout the film, I am a civilian but anyone with any sense at all would not have made the decisions that the ‘colonial marines’ made, end of the day though, it’s a movie…
Now imagine there was a team in sulaco and Ripley bring the aliens queen up. Nothing much would have change, most of them that saw the alien queen would have scream and run to their bunk and hide, or hide behind some crates watching Ripley fighting the Queen in the cargo suit.
They cant shoot the alien if not they risk hull breach with the acid blood. So yeah. The only thing for sure is that alien 3 would not have happened.
The effort that ripley did to save newt here then is killed off at the 3rd installment. No wonder people hated it, did too
Yep, that pretty much sums it up. Total disrespect.
I loved it. Badass move
Of course, it's Hollywood, but as old as this movie is, I still think, "Ripley, why did you shoot up the hive- the blast would have gotten all of them?!"
"....We're not?"
Bishop left to get the ship leaving like seven people. When he returned with the ship only two were left, the missing including Vasquez and the girl. Vasquez gave him her sidearm.
This film is just pain.
“Bishop can go - great idea!”
Great movie, seen it dozens of times, I always wonder why they didn’t have a support unit up on the Sulaco.
When the first ship crashes and tumbles toward them, using a projector in the background, wow, imagine an 8k projector these days. Why use CGI???? Its never been matched to this day.
ビショップさんには人智を感じ好きでした♪
I always thought it was weird that there was no crew on the Sulaco. Would it not make sense to have crew just in case the platoon needed rescue?
Same place red dwarf is filmed I think
Yes, Croydon
好きなシーン
I always found it strange, that they didn’t have marines left on board exactly for such a situation. Like another platoon for emergency’s. Or imagine pirates board the ship while no one is home. In my eyes the only mistake in this movie.
Even if they had a team on board, I wonder what changes it would have made.
Anyway this plothole is quite similar to Open water 2 and everyone jump into the water and there was no one on board to operate the ladder hatch for them to climb back up.
Final boss mode
I never understood why there was noone left on the ship to monitor their progress.
That's the patching with the remote terminal
Excellent scene
Eficiența energetică acumulată.
It is 2023, we've seen if not all, then most of it.
What would be interesting is if Skynet by mistake sent some T800 and T1000 terminators to kill the Queen Alien. This has major potential.
Here's the second Dropship from the sulak oh
I always wondered. Why no crew on the main ship
So stupid
Realistically, it should have. Nostromo had Mother taking over when the entire crew goes to hypersleep, yet full maintenance had to be done by humans, the crew. Without the M577, the Cheyene can carry an entire *platoon* of marines. If only Fox wasn't cheap with their money, Cameron should've been given at least between 20 to 25 million USD, enough to hire more extras for the Sulaco. This movie was made with 18 million USD.
@@Joshua_N-A for this mission. They would have the bait. And a real crew owned by the corporation
Cutting costs
Good job beshop
The only one to survive contact with the Alien was a one brain cell Cat.
No one on board the ship? And didn't the young girl say "They mostly come out at night. Mostly". And they're not attacked out in the open, at night.
No fault on this. The aliens were concentrated on attacking the complex. The last drone that ambush them was also killed by Hicks/Ripley in the elevator (the remaining survivor drones were probably carry Hudson, and Newt back to the hive). Also the first dropship was left in the open at night, which explain why the pilot died.
I never understood how a big ship like that only had one team how was there not a second one on standby in case things went wrong there was more than enough room for a rescue team !!!!
They should at least have had another android or pilot on standby in case the first drop ship + transmitter malfunctions.
'30 minutes to prep the ship' takes 7 seconds
that is why they had 26 mins in the end lol.
Oh sure fly back into an unstable atmosphere processor.
In reality, Ripley would have been removed and detained and there would be other marines left on the ship. What operation takes all personal on the mission without ariel support or base bqckup
Ripley going back for Newt made her responsible for all the deaths at the end of this film, alien 3 and alien resurrection. If she hadn't gone back for Newt, the aliens would be destroyed, she would have survived, and there would be no clones of the aliens.
This is why I like to consider the next two movies non-canon. While they have their merits, they cheapen Ripley's heroism at the end of this movie, which was what originally made her so iconic.
@@stormcrow33 To be honest, her "wait here while I go for Newt" idea was beyond bollocks considering the situation. They only had 17 minutes left, Ripley had to travel back into the reactor, navigate an area she didn't knew all to well, while surviving the constant electrical failure and explosions everywhere, then pray that the Xenomorphs didn't chew her ass and only then find Newt. Of course, she had to do all twice in a row without a single mistake.
She risked the lifes of the very fiew survivors just to save one little girl that would be insta-killed in 17 minutes anyway, so there was no posibility of her suffering the chest bursting process.
So when I saw Alien 3 (theatrical cut) I was kinda, "ok, they deserve this" becasue for all intents and porpuses Ripley's plan only succeded because the plot removed every real threat in her way, if any other marine would have been sent in the same mission, he/she would have been eaten away faster than Burke, period.
You might see this as an "heroic move" from her, but every time I watch the following scenes I am like "anyone else would have been killed 100 times in a row already."
Alien 3 opening has alot of flaws, it was so glaring bad that Flincher ask everyone to ignore how the eggs got into the ship and get over it. Due to this reason I never treat Alien 3 as canon. Sorry.

The Dropship is a turbo on a thopter isn't it
🤔This film is so before it's time on the concept of A.I. in this scene. Artificial intelligence person navigating in a Cheyenne dropship. 🤔 I still think Call (Alien Resurrection) is the Champ though. 😶 Call didn't have Special Order that Bishop did.
I wonder why Bishop was not attacked by ariens.
He is not suitable to be host.
Interesting that in 2122 they're still using keyboards.
As long as ppl continue to have fingers there will be keyboards.
@@focusedwolf But even in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" they were talking to the computer to complete tasks. And in "Star Trek: The Voyage Home" (1986), Scotty's amused at having to use a keyboard, saying, "Oh, a keyboard...quaint."
The keyboard was invented in the 19th century and we’re still using it almost 200 years later.

The only thing that didn't blow me away about this movie was the drop ship when I first saw it I felt a wave of disappointment I guess it was the way it was designed. It was very close to what I had built as a model and flown and in no way could you reenter the atmosphere with it. If you notice they don't talk about their technology and propulsion. you cant cross light years of space with rocket engines even with suspended animation. Not enough fuel and you would come back several generations later.
The Sulaco you mean? That doesn't use rocket propulsion.
Sulaco, IIRC uses some sort of nuclear detonation propulsion IIRC which is super-fast once it gets up to speed. No good for launching from planets, but Sulaco lives in space where radiation effects are minimal.
The dropship uses fusion propulsion drive which drives a set of turbines and thrusters but for space it transitions to plasma fuel (plasma only works in a vaccume). This is had almost limitless power in atmosphere. I think Syd Mead designed the concepts and look of them both.
I remember reading years ago, in this fictional time line they had discovered 'faster the light' communications and FTL travel as well. The biggest plot hole for me was always that there was no crew or even one android left on board the Sulaco, I understand this is the space age that relied on automation but when they went down to the surface they were at the mercy of the comm links on the APC/drop ship and if anything happened to that they had to hope the link at the complex was operational. All of that risk easily mitigated by adding an extra crew to the ship to stay on board encase of emergency but i totally understand the plot needed this to build the drama for the ultimate escape.
@@trueaspect5888 In Cameron's original treatment for Aliens, Bishop never actually sets foot on LV-426 and remains aboard the Sulaco in orbit. He also refuses to rescue the survivors at the end of the story, saying that his programming will not allow him to risk the Xenomorphs potentially contaminating the ship and subsequently spreading throughout the human race.
@@vojtechdjakov7271 that would be a pretty logical plot twist I would say.
