Aliens (1986) REACTION 

Exactly. I don't understand why those scenes weren't in the theatrical version. They added so much more to Ripley's desire to rescue Newt . . .

@@rowenatulley852 ... We can always count on directors to shorten films so they aren't "too long". It's almost like a phobia for them.

I beleieve Ripley's daughter IS necessary to show not only her motivation to going back in the save Newt, but it makes the "Mommy!" at the end more heartfelt. I'm guessing they powers that be took those scenes out so they could ruin things with Aliens 3 . . .@move_i_got_this5659

@@Stogie2112 I thought it was the studios that forced directors to cut down the length? And "director's cuts" are always longer.

Ripley's daughter is main hero of Isolation, which is a midquel between Alien and Aliens. Her daughter met with and escaped from xenomorph as well.

Don’t forget Clint Eastwood movie line : “Go Ahead Make My Day” meant to be said to anybody especially a criminal that wants to cause harm to you. But in doing so the person wanting to cause harm, ends up suffering instead 😊

I saw the movie when it came out in the theater...Ripley steps out of the airlock with the forklift power suit and says her immortal line! I was floored after she said it! Everyone can relate to that..."Get away from her, you BITCH!" AWESOME LINE! After she said it everyone in the theater was yelling! ...FIGHTS ON!

“Come on!…. COME ON!!!” I love that line.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

but mostly importantly she's competent but not trying to be a man, she has a feminine side and nurturing qualities

Perfect character

@@vkdeen7570 Ripley displays leadership, bravery, cunning, and several other qualities that are neither strictly feminine or masculine. They just ARE. Can we finally drop this ridiculous incel-speak about "feminine sides" and "nurturing qualities"? Why do we have to constantly engender what is heroic about a character? "but not trying to be a man..." She didn't even need to try to be anything.

same could also be applied to male leads, but somehow the community is less critical of the male Mary Sue counterparts vs "when women..."

Your subconscious has been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty.. 😜

@@Leonidae LOL - I always assumed that the Alien was a Jehovah's Witness who just wanted to tell me The Good News...

This movie's version of aliens was not scary.

Wait a minute. I was under the impression that females as leads in action movies had never been done before Jennifer Lawrence

@@mastrtonberry2 you beat me to it, props to you sir.

@@mastrtonberry2 You are probably too young to remember Lynda Carter, and Lyndsey Wagner, much less Charlies Angels. 😁

Smart cat.

There's a who other movie about Jonesy Vs the Facehugger back on that station 😂.

I think he was the only survivor of all 3 movies besides bishop and whatever colonists escaped acheron

​@@bigdream_dreambig Smart cat how? The cat didn't make the choice to go or stay.

@@_MjG_ Of course.

And apparently, as seen in the beginning of Alien 3, one of the face huggers does follow them and manage to get on the dropship.

I remember learning many years ago that girl who played Newt never acted again.And yeah, Ripley killing eggs may look strange, but she is a human after all and maybe it was sort of katharsis for her (also, one of the eggs was opening in this scene :) ).

Say hi for me.

Right 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Aliens > T2

Alien was more suspenseful. Alien II was more of an action movie.

Yes because it's real. They use real fire for the flame throwers in Alien, today they would just CGI the fire. CGI is needed in some cases but it's best not to use CGI if not needed.

they actually do make movies like this. It's kinda weird that you're like "tHey dOn't mAkE mOvIeS LiKe tHiS aNyMorE!" then list off roles made in the last decade or less as comparable to something nearly 40 years old.

@@hadesmcfadden2982 Way to miss the point. In the 80's and 90's there weren't a lot of strong leading ladies, the few that were there were well written. Today their are tons of strong leading ladies but most of poorly written. THAT WAS THE POINT.

@@david-1775 You’re the one actually missing the point. Do you know what happens when a number of something increases? Everything increases, meaning that the percentage of bad vs good female leads goes up. It’s harder to make a good quality movie in general versus a bad one, add a female lead and it’s even harder. And there were plenty of movies with a female lead that sucked in and before the 80s.

Ok grandpa

@@movieswithmatticus5469 Ok, renter. You will never own a home.

Yeah true but rippley need to do it for herself!

Not what I’d recommend

I was actually pissed off at her after getting out of the theater. I was like "she almost got Bishop killed, there was no reason to piss off the queen." Nobody is perfect, not even Ellen. :)

At least you’re intelligent!

@@david-1775the point of burning the eggs was to piss off the queen

The M56 Smartgun is actually a modified MG42 machine gun mounted on a Steadicam harness with some Kawasaki parts added for good measure. If you were a REAL BADASS you would have known this !!! LOL

I was a more reserved "Spam in a Can"

I liked the theatrical version. The director's cut is good, but better when you already have a feel for the story.

@Stevarooni disagree, the directors cut is by far superior, not to mention the way Cameron wanted it seen. Not only does it give us pre alien attack footage of the colony but we get to see the space marines fend off 2 waves of alien attacks before being overrun. This makes the alien strategy change on the third wave more plausible when they cut the power. The theatrical version isn't the movie, its executive cut up trash.

Thank you very much!

alien vs predator movie 2004

Can't believe you would disrespect Alien like that. Just complete lack of respect.

Lol...I'm not disrespecting it at all...I love that film and I love Ridley Scott...I'm just stating my opinion on the two films@@trhansen3244

I don't think it was meant as any disrespect but I can understand your comment. To be fair they are movies each with a different genre. Alien more towards sci-fi horror I suppose and Aliens straight up sci-fi action. Each superb in their own genre.

It was LOL funny . . .

He hasn't made a really good film since True Lies. There, I said it and I mean it.

Who gives a shit? He did this one.

Cameron is king.

2. Wouldn't being found at-fault soak up her back-pay and a thousand years of pay in the future?

They screwed her TWICE@@Stevarooni

The eggs open up due to the heat from the initial flamethrower blast, it's just an involuntary reaction to warmth.......the queen has nothing to do with it.

yess I had never seen the Ext cut with the background of Newt's FAM until i saw it last yr, whew i can see Michelle was really into this big time. IM eager to see them react to the last scene when the "mom" alien makes that appearance

I didn't like the extended version. I watched it and I threw it in the trash. I said to myself 'No!' and then threw it in the trash.

That was the Normal theatrical cut what the homies watched.

@@EstebanAlvarez_ Eu não falo espanhol.

This one was not a masterpiece.

@@_MjG_ If you truly believe that you are in a very small minority, this was by far the best in the series, most everyone agrees

@@ST19859 I doubt it. More like fairly even. Alien is rated slightly higher on imdb. Aliens slightly higher on Rotten Tomatoes. Many fans are ignorant or overlook the beyond stupid idea that Ripley disposes of the Alien in the first movie & then with astronomically low odds, the aliens are not heard or seen from again until 57 years later... which happens to coincide exacttly within a few days after Ripley wakes from her long sleep. That's poor & lazy writing of script = not a masterpiece. Also the Aliens weren't scary because they clearly lacked the intelligence of the one shown in Alien.

@@_MjG_Not as stupid an idea as you think it was. _Alien: Isolation_ reveals that 15 years after the _Nostromo,_ another ship, the _Anesidora,_ detected the same beacon and landed on the moon to investigate and salvage anything of value. The crew discovered the derelict and some equipment left behind by Nostromo. While exploring the derelict, the captain of the Anesidora _disabled_ the distress beacon to prevent any other salvage vessels from discovering the ship (wanting to keep anything valuable for himself) and the captain's wife ended up with a facehugger. Then they flew to _Sevastopol Station,_ hoping to find medical help for the captain's wife (and setting in motion a second xenomorph infestation.) The alien ship was shielded from the colony's ground scanners by the Ilium mountain range, while the moon's thick, debris-laden atmosphere shrouded the ship both from the naked eye and satellite scanning. That's why it wasn't discovered for 42 years after the _Anesidora_ incident, when Burke found the data in Ripley's flight recorder, then _deliberately_ deleted the original data, and sent colonists to go investigate, triggering the third Alien outbreak. Alternate non-video game interpretation: Maybe the warning beacon just failed from old age. Nothing lasts forever. And since the weather prevented satellite scans, and the minerals in the mountain range blocked ground scanners, the colonists never knew about the ship until Burke sent them there. In regards to whether or not the video games like _Alien: Isolation_ are canon, it honestly depends on what _you_ consider canon, in a manner of speaking. The video game has been considered tentatively canon. It's never been referenced in the movies, because of course it didn't exist when the movies came out, so if you go solely by those, then no, it's not canon. Remember, however, that FOX gave the game developers unrestricted access to all the available material, including a lot of stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor, and the developers expressly did not want to retcon anything. However, in 2014, three novels were published prior to the October release of Alien: Isolation. These books were _Alien: Out of the Shadows, Alien: Sea of Sorrows,_ and _Alien: River of Pain._ These books were _explicitly_ created to tie in with the film-only canon, but Out of the Shadows (set between the original Alien and Aliens) has a brief passage in which _both_ Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) _and_ her daughter (the protagonist of the then-unreleased game) are referenced to having foiled Weyland-Yutani's attempts at acquiring the Xenomorph. By this passage alone and by the intent of those three novels to tie in with the Alien movie series, it can be suggested that those three novels plus the movies (excluding AVP/AVPR) plus the game are meant to represent an "official" canon.

BATAAN?? The Frozen Chosin?

Evidence of that?
