Impressive how with some few scenes James Cameron created chemistry between them without being forced or out of the blue. Also, the way he fleshed out the badass side of Ripley without ruining her vulnerable side as a human. She can wipeout an entire species, but she can still get hurt and is scared of things like all of us - that's how you write a great character.
I literally said this exact same thing in another video. Cameron made her a badass out of necessity. It wasn;t forced like Hollywood creating these overly badass heroine movies nowadays. Ripley had to be a badass for survival...not because it was cool, or because she was trying to prove herself to the space marines.
The look on Ripley’d face when Hicks pumps the grenade launcher. She shows that fear, and I believe it’s a very real reaction. Like Veronica Cartwright in the first movie during the Chestbursting scene. Despite her badass side, Sigourney wasn’t a fan of guns.
@@253jacksonrhoads1 Yeah, I remember reading Sigourney Weaver was a bit surprised when the movie was so violent and military driven. That reaction to the gun either real or not, it's a nice touch since Ripley (apparently, although has an officer in space I'm sure she must've had some kind of weapon's training, at least small arms fire) but since she probably never handled that kind of weapon, it's way more natural for her to be weary of it rather then being immediately at ease just because she was the lead and a "badass". I think that's the fragility and vulnerability that Sigourney brings to the character, but when needed she steps up and shows her side as a natural leader, making Ripley a great character.
I always refer to this as a sex scene without the sex. It gets the exact same point across without the softcore porn. It also helps skirt the cliche of every single male and female lead needing to hook up
"Ehhhhh that's the grenade launcher I don't think you wanna mess with that." I LOVE that line! Hicks sets a barrier and wonders if she'll cross it, which she does.
Disagree. Hicks was hesitant to teach her how to use the grenade launcher because it doesn't take much(in terms of a lack of awareness) to accidentally kill yourself or someone else. Also knowing how to have the discernment to use it in close quarters requires special skill and training, something that takes time(a luxury they didn't have). This was more of an emergency crash course, so it makes sense as to why he was reluctant. It wasn't a test.
Romans OneSixteen but she made it One. I personally, love the interaction between these characters. It’s all slightly sizzly and underplayed, like ; “ when we get back to civilisation ... Or Not. “ moment. Even though it appears as a typical love interest moment in the movie, the connection the characters have, makes sense in the later scenes. Love this movie 🥰
@@jenniferschmitzer299 I love it. The way they interacted just screams that if they had met under better circumstances...(even though she's 57+ years older than him)
Hicks is a man among men. No toxic masculinity in site. Just genuine masculinity. Soft. Gentle. Hard when the occasion calls for it. This hetero has a mean man crush.
I love that Sigourney did this for the film. She's outspoken in her dislike of guns, but Ripley is a survivor, and a survivor would have to adapt. Hence, she learns how to use a gun.
She didn't want to use the guns, but apparently James Cameron took her to a range and had her fire a real machine gun with live rounds in preparation for the role and she reluctantly admitted that she enjoyed it.
The opening scene to Aliens 3 where (SPOILERS) Bishop, Newt, and Hicks are revealed to have died off camera between the two films was literally like getting slapped in the face. I remember watching Alien 3 with my Dad a few days after we finished watching Alien and Aliens for the first time, and the opening was literally the equivalent of breaking my fucking heart 3 times within a minute. As soon as the opening credits confirmed all 3 were dead, me and my Dad exchanged furious eye contact and wordlessly shut it off right there and pretended that Aliens was the only sequel. Hell, I would have taken them all dying in the crash landing over killing them all off screen. And it just makes it SO much worse when you pull shit like that in the sequel to a great movie, because it completely destroys the purpose and emotional impact of the previous films. Oh Ripley is going to risk her life to try to save Newt against all odds? Why even bother, she's about to be dead again anyways. What the fuck was anything in Alien's even all for?
@@tankmaster1018 agree, Aliens 3 was a travesty of a film. You were smarter than me by switching off soon after the start. I sat through it unfortunately and it did not get any better. I also pretend it does not exist, nor any of the subsequent sequels they made.Cameron made Aliens out of love of the first film, and it shows; the rest were ridiculous cash grabs.
We saw them in Alien 3 when the company soldiers shoot Morse in the leg and Aaron gets shot dead. The sound is a traditional movie machine gun, but they’re pulse rifles.
It’s interesting how Sigourney said that she didn’t want her character to have a gun while making this movie. But after some convincing and time, she realized that this was the right choice.
Joshua Santana There’s no way she said that, really? My memory of her with that pulse rifle retrieving Nute with that pulse rifle is too vivid to imagine her without it.
Mike Halve perhaps that was after the fact, but there were 3 requests she asked for from James Cameron during the making of this film 1-Her character must not use any guns 2-She had to have sex with the Xenomorph alien 3-She had to die Cameron denied the requests but as Weaver became producer in the next two films after “Aliens”, she got her wish. This is all on the Behind the Scene documentary for “Aliens” and “Alien 3”

One of my favourite romantic moments in cinema. Understated and full of chemistry. Love how Ripley flinches as he works the grenade launcher pump to show she is unfamiliar with guns. Great acting all round.
I am today years old when I finally understood why they do the magazine slap: magazine spring tension as the bolt is resisting the insertion of the magazine. I've been in the army (AK-based service rifle, though) and I'm a gun nerd, but it took me a quarter of a century to get it.

Previous decades movies strong female character: their being cool is rooted in learning, tough life experience, motivation, pushing through and making hard choices. Modern movies "strong" female character: a Mary Sue in heavy plot armour that is strong and capable "just because".
Jesus Christ is this all you idiots do nowadays, complain about movies you don't like and bring that garbage everywhere and talk about this "mary sue". jesus christ shut up, and get that crap out of here no one wants to hear this gatekeeping nonsense.
It's kinda sad to think that if they made a reboot today this scene probably wouldn't even exist since it'd the usual "she's already a perfect badass who needs no man to explain anything". Ugh. I'm a woman and I greatly enjoyed the interaction between these two, it felt perfectly natural with a very nice dose of respectful chemistry. Plus Ripley is one of my all time favorite heroes _because_ she's so human and realistic, she faces a threat like no other and needs to learn and adapt. She's highly motivated and capable but still allowed to be vulnerable. She's *very* relatable. I bet I'd hate any reboot Ripley since they'd totally miss what made the character so great.
People really need to stfu about Ripley being "the perfect female protagonist." We get it, you like Ripley. We all like Ripley, she's a WELL-WRITTEN CHARACTER REGARDLESS OF GENDER. Just shut up with the political gatekeeping already because it's just as annoying as a character's gender or race being shoved down our throats.
You can be the most anti gun person in the world .but let’s face it if your own life is at risk and it’s a simple choice between them or you any sane human being will carry a weapon to defend there self. There’s no grey area it’s simple logic.
With CGI deaging it could be possible, but only way to suceed it would be having Cameron not only as producer but director. And it could start with Ripley waking up from hibernation and briefly talking about a bad dream where they were all dead( Alien3 )
@@Sergiovsousa we dont even need the Cgi deaging .. they can just retcon the Alien 3 movie .. and explain that Ellen,Hicks and Newt aged in their cryosleep due to a malfunction but they were still being preserved.
Audience: "Hey, look Kiri! This is M41 A1 pulse rifle, feel its weight." K: "Why?" Audience: "Well, this is your mother's most epic memory. Yea, she use to be great warrior." K: "This is Mighty...."
When they were devleloping Killzone, someone saw this scene and said, that would be good for the Helghast, except we'll change the grenade launcher into a shotgun.
@@princeendymion9044 Totally late, but it's named such because its rounds are fired by an electric pulse that ignites the propellant, rather than using a firing pin to strike the primer of a traditional weapon. So it's a "Electronic Pulse Action Rifle", which gets shortened to Pulse Rifle!
When the counter reads zero the gun is completely empty, therefore when the magazine is slapped in hard there still isn't a round in the chamber, the rifle hasn't been charged . We can see this when Ripley first tried to shoot an incoming xenomorph in operations, the gun didn't fire at first. Im suprised Hicks didn't tell her how to pull the charging handle to load a round possibly because his was full while he was demonstrating it and had a round in the chamber already.

If this scene was written today in 2023 Michael Biehn would have barely started even showing Ripley how to even hold the gun when Ripley quietly snatches the gun out of his hand and in a flashy display of power, shows him how she is already quiet proficient with military grade hardware and don't need no man to explain to her how to shoot bugs....She also would be a genius tactical commander and a natural born leader who is *NEVER* wrong unless it's to another woman and is able to lead his own troops even better then he can even though she is a civilian with zero combat training...All because she was born with a vagina and it's a movie made in 2023
...And then the M41A was immediately replaced with the M41A Mk. II (Colonial Marines, non-canon) come the Fiorina 161 incident, and the Mk. II would itself be replaced with the M41A/2 (Aliens vs. Predator) come the Freya's Prospect outbreak. EDIT: And THEN, after the Freya's Prospect incident the M41A/2 would be replaced with the similarly named M41A2 (Aliens: Fireteam Elite) in the 200 year time gap between Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection, which ditched the now-misfiring underslung Grenade Launcher for customisability and improved performance. The M41A2 would itself be replaced with the Shockrifle come the year when the crew of the USM Auriga began their plan to resurrect Ripley and her Queen chestburster to breed a new race of Aliens. Depending on the version of events (game or film), Ripley 8 made use of the latter during her exploits on the Auriga not unlike her ancestor and the M41A before her, or she just used one to kill an Alien before ditching it altogether to rely on her instincts.
If I remember correctly, it takes 10mm (its mentioned in a scene where the marines are looking for the missing colonists and they ended up by the nuclear fusion reactor). Which means pistol rounds. Explains how that can hold 99 rounds
Film logic. It looks cool. Gotta say, a huge drum mag for the pulse rifle would not have gone amiss in the film, although that would probably have had 400 rounds in it or something ridiculous like that.
If this was made of aluminum and carbon fiber composites, it would make sense. The whole thing should weight no more than 6 pounds. Otherwise: It's too bulky and heavy.

Did this guy go around the whole galaxy to teach pretty girls how to fight? I wouldn't surprised if there would be some cut scene of him teaching princess Leia to shoot Stormtrooper! 😂😂
Kyle hasn’t changed a bit since we last saw him with that robot, perfect writing choice imo
Sarah wouldn't be so happy
She disliked this.

What a gun,what a film ,still betrrr than any Action horror made since 🙌🏻
Previous decades movies strong female character: their being cool is rooted in learning, tough life experience, motivation, pushing through and making hard choices.
Modern movies "strong" female character: a Mary Sue in heavy plot armour that is strong and capable "just because".
Jesus Christ is this all you idiots do nowadays, complain about movies you don't like and bring that garbage everywhere and talk about this "mary sue". jesus christ shut up, and get that crap out of here no one wants to hear this gatekeeping nonsense.
It's kinda sad to think that if they made a reboot today this scene probably wouldn't even exist since it'd the usual "she's already a perfect badass who needs no man to explain anything". Ugh. I'm a woman and I greatly enjoyed the interaction between these two, it felt perfectly natural with a very nice dose of respectful chemistry. Plus Ripley is one of my all time favorite heroes _because_ she's so human and realistic, she faces a threat like no other and needs to learn and adapt. She's highly motivated and capable but still allowed to be vulnerable. She's *very* relatable. I bet I'd hate any reboot Ripley since they'd totally miss what made the character so great.
My recruiter promised me one of these when I enlisted.
That was 15 years ago. I'm still waiting.
This is how you do a strong female protagonist the right way
People really need to stfu about Ripley being "the perfect female protagonist." We get it, you like Ripley. We all like Ripley, she's a WELL-WRITTEN CHARACTER REGARDLESS OF GENDER. Just shut up with the political gatekeeping already because it's just as annoying as a character's gender or race being shoved down our throats.
I love the look exchange during the drop. Handsome Hicks could be a beautiful knock on Ripley's door.
Ripley is such a great heroine. love her
One xenomorph disliked this video.
Now it's 4 xenomorphs
The queen just added her downvote 😅
Now it's 7 xenomorphs
I’m not a zenomorph or whatever shite it is still disliked this shit video “chemistry” stfu neek
When she said, show me everything, I think she meant it😂
Ripley of course does unleash the grenade launcher later in the film, proving Hicks' point lol
Hicks and Ripley: bonding over some gun training
Meanwhile Bishop: *We doing the shoulder shuffle* X100
You can be the most anti gun person in the world .but let’s face it if your own life is at risk and it’s a simple choice between them or you any sane human being will carry a weapon to defend there self. There’s no grey area it’s simple logic.

I'd much rather see a geriatric Ripley and Hicks in Alien 5 than another bloated, pretentious and ultimately disappointing Alien prequel.
With CGI deaging it could be possible, but only way to suceed it would be having Cameron not only as producer but director. And it could start with Ripley waking up from hibernation and briefly talking about a bad dream where they were all dead( Alien3 )
@@Sergiovsousa we dont even need the Cgi deaging .. they can just retcon the Alien 3 movie .. and explain that Ellen,Hicks and Newt aged in their cryosleep due to a malfunction but they were still being preserved.
@@Mr.PR2000 That sounds dopey though
Amen to that
One of my fav scenes
In a modern movie Ripley would just know it better than him right from the start.
Audience: "Hey, look Kiri! This is M41 A1 pulse rifle, feel its weight."
K: "Why?"
Audience: "Well, this is your mother's most epic memory. Yea, she use to be great warrior."
K: "This is Mighty...."
When they were devleloping Killzone, someone saw this scene and said, that would be good for the Helghast, except we'll change the grenade launcher into a shotgun.
Kyle and Hicks, masters of the Rizz.
Love this scene....Hicks cares about Ripley
Pulse rifle. Greatest name for a fictional gun
And... I don't even get it. Why is it called a pulse rifle, it still shoots bullets
@@princeendymion9044 Totally late, but it's named such because its rounds are fired by an electric pulse that ignites the propellant, rather than using a firing pin to strike the primer of a traditional weapon.
So it's a "Electronic Pulse Action Rifle", which gets shortened to Pulse Rifle!
@@darethrylls9747 that... actually makes a lot of sense, especially for a futuristic rifle, would make maintenance a lot easier in my eye
I love how it cuts to Bishop crawling through the pipe
Hicks fell in love with Ripley in that very moment 😍.
I always wondered if this weapon would wreck a terminator
And he reenact this scene with a young Fan 👏👏👏👏👏 100% Respect
‘Your Dog meat pal’!!!!!👍Great line

@@HowDyaYouLikeMeNow😂😂❤
When the counter reads zero the gun is completely empty, therefore when the magazine is slapped in hard there still isn't a round in the chamber, the rifle hasn't been charged . We can see this when Ripley first tried to shoot an incoming xenomorph in operations, the gun didn't fire at first. Im suprised Hicks didn't tell her how to pull the charging handle to load a round possibly because his was full while he was demonstrating it and had a round in the chamber already.
Only 14 comments for this masterpiece? How sad
Hicks would of been knocking the dust off if he hooked up with Ripley. Think about it.
Ellen Ripley, still one of the best heroines of any franchise ever.
Ellen Ripley is a bad ass. Rey is a Mary Sue.

Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor ... Michael Biehn likes "mature" women
Who do you think had better chemistry with MIchael Biehn? Sigourney Weaver or Linda Hamilton? Tough call but I think I give Hamilton the edge.
This is so hot jesus christ im dead
Quarantine has really done us in huh 😅😅
Put that damn chicken wing down ripley
It was the 80s
Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley are the perfect examples of strong female characters
Agreed, but this was Ellen Ripley, her mother.

Cool to see a Romulus reference
Imagine competent male character teaching female hero a crucial skill. Do they still make these scenes in Hollywood?
The pulse rifle is iconic. everyone knows it. For me though? Always been a SMART gun user in the games.
Just bought a 3D printed 1-1 scale on Etsy can't wait and obviously olive drab colored not brown bess
Alien 3 is probably my most hated movie of all time
Sure... 💣🔪
Imagine if he got the chance to do this with Sarah Connor.
If this scene was written today in 2023 Michael Biehn would have barely started even showing Ripley how to even hold the gun when Ripley quietly snatches the gun out of his hand and in a flashy display of power, shows him how she is already quiet proficient with military grade hardware and don't need no man to explain to her how to shoot bugs....She also would be a genius tactical commander and a natural born leader who is *NEVER* wrong unless it's to another woman and is able to lead his own troops even better then he can even though she is a civilian with zero combat training...All because she was born with a vagina and it's a movie made in 2023
This.
Ok
You can feel the chemistry..’it’s not like we’re engaged or any thing!!!🤗👍... I would imagine they would have nice looking children!!!!☺️😚☝️
Me: They’re engaged. He just gave her a band to wear. They’re engaged. 😂❤
I love how she laughs when he says that.
I wonder whats kyle reese doing here?
to earns?
If only Sigourney Weaver had a bit part in "The Rock"
Why? What's that got to do with anything.
...And then the M41A was immediately replaced with the M41A Mk. II (Colonial Marines, non-canon) come the Fiorina 161 incident, and the Mk. II would itself be replaced with the M41A/2 (Aliens vs. Predator) come the Freya's Prospect outbreak.
EDIT: And THEN, after the Freya's Prospect incident the M41A/2 would be replaced with the similarly named M41A2 (Aliens: Fireteam Elite) in the 200 year time gap between Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection, which ditched the now-misfiring underslung Grenade Launcher for customisability and improved performance. The M41A2 would itself be replaced with the Shockrifle come the year when the crew of the USM Auriga began their plan to resurrect Ripley and her Queen chestburster to breed a new race of Aliens. Depending on the version of events (game or film), Ripley 8 made use of the latter during her exploits on the Auriga not unlike her ancestor and the M41A before her, or she just used one to kill an Alien before ditching it altogether to rely on her instincts.
If I remember correctly, it takes 10mm (its mentioned in a scene where the marines are looking for the missing colonists and they ended up by the nuclear fusion reactor). Which means pistol rounds. Explains how that can hold 99 rounds
That would be 10mm caseless. Go figure.
Film logic. It looks cool.
Gotta say, a huge drum mag for the pulse rifle would not have gone amiss in the film, although that would probably have had 400 rounds in it or something ridiculous like that.
@@mattrehu8154 caseless. Sounds like the rifle them would have been a mini railgun if there were no explosive gunpowder behind the shots
The pulse rifle fires 10x24mm caseless armor piercing explosive tipped rounds at high velocity. It is not a pistol cartridge.
Had that this been made today, she would just yoink it out of his hands and use it better than him, without any instuctions.
The Pulse Rifle is one of the best sci-fi weapons ever. Check out a compilation video of its usage against the Queen Alien on my channel.

Over and under-barrel grenade launcher? Has it got two barrels for grenades?
Man I wanted that gun... (the airsoft model one)
If this was made of aluminum and carbon fiber composites, it would make sense. The whole thing should weight no more than 6 pounds. Otherwise: It's too bulky and heavy.
