Aliens (1986) | Restored Edition, with deleted scenes 

Definitely don't think he's underrated. Most comments recognise his brilliance.

It certainly was the greatest sci-fi, horror, action movie. Still is number 1, even today, March 10th 2024.

​@@user-dm8pr4zd8j oh hello there my friend anyway The Thing (1982) directed by John Carpenter is my number 1 favorite sci-fi horror movie and Alien (1979) directed by Ridley Scott is my 2nd favorite sci-fi horror movie and Aliens (1986) directed by James Cameron is my 3rd favorite sci-fi action and horror but all three of them are my all time favorite sci-fi movies and are on the top of my list as the greatest sci-fi movies ever created as well:).

​@@user-dm8pr4zd8j oh well my friend The Thing (1982) directed by John Carpenter is my number 1 favorite sci-fi horror movie and Alien (1979) directed by Ridley Scott is my 2nd favorite sci-fi horror movie and Aliens (1986) directed by James Cameron is my third favorite sci-fi action and horror movie but all three of them are on the top of my list as the greatest sci-fi movies ever created as well:).

Yeah i agree. I own several copies of them...vhs, dvd, blue ray..bix sets...posters..even playin cards..yeah..im a nerd..

And god bless the xenomorph! Finally a species that can rid the galaxy of the scourge of humanity....

The company already knew about the ship that’s why the Nostromo was diverted to find it as they had decoded the transmission and found it was a warning and why Cain was put on board because they knew it would kill the crew No charges were brought against Ripley because she knew about the company orders that mother displayed After 57 years most if not all the people in the company that diverted them to the planet were either dead or dying The order that was sent to the colony was sent by Burke after he heard Ripley talk about it and looked up the company records Ripley had nothing to do with it the company was the responsible

I knew about Burke. But what was your source on it being company orders? Because I understood it to be company policy instead. That caused them to divert course. After mother received the repeating signal and only then started to decode it. As per the first movie on both counts.

​@@FP194dude.., you are absolutely right👍

@@carolinawestern3875 How come nobody suspected Ash was a android? I recently saw a edited scene that wasn't in the original movie where Ripley asked Lambert had she ever slept with Ash, Lambert responded that Ash showed no sexual interest, that could have been a clue where Ripley suspected Ash could have been an Android. But the scene when Ash says a weird word regarding communicating with "Mother" Ripley like tripped out and laughed saying "your doing what with Mother'? (the computer)

Thats the true Directors cut..

The Abyss doesnt hold up well imo

the 'experts' lol

It is cheaper i guess...

@@midnightblue1874, no. A film like Avatar is only possible with CGI. Aliens on the other is playing indoors most of the time and all the outside shots are mostly dark and gritty. So you can realize it with practical effects (same as with the abyss).

i thought vasquez had the best line in the whole movie @18:13 when she says we go back in there and we dont leave our people behind. 100% BADASS. After their whole squad gets wiped out she was willing to go back in there and rescue her buddies. 100% BADASS. Vasquez is by far the biggest badass in the movie its not even close.

Watch the directors cut much better movie

which means that they were deleted from the theatrical cut

@@5wheels178 bur nothing new now, every version available is the directors cut as far as I've seen.

But here are some moments that are not included even in director's cut (list in other comments).

No, hay al rededor de 45 segundos que no aparecen en ninguna version!!! Asi que automaticamente se vuelve joya!!

​​​@@pablomorales3674 Cuales, Pablo? Lo único que me pareció no haber visto es Burke en el cocoon.

They did not breach the door they just found another way in . Like when they crawled along the ceiling to get past the sealed door to operations

@@FP194 There were no other ways into the complex for the aliens, only through the tunnel. Ripley even said so. The xenos have later discovered the crawlspace to pass the barricades the survivors have errected/repaired around the operations office and med lab. The xenos were already in the residential area by that time, but outside the barricade, as the last defense line. Also when the banging against the tunnel door has stopped, Hick's immediate saying - the xenos are in the complex - wouldn't make sense then! Likewise the next scene with Vasquez handing Bishop a pistol and then Bishop crawling through a narrow pipe, as well as the following scene with the second pair of turrets fighting the xenos in a hallway. In my view, it's an unfortunate editing error. Cameron should have left the banging noises in the used scene as well the short following deleted portion of it, when the survivors noticed that the xenos have breached the tunnel door and sneaked into the complex, entrapping them. This would have given a logical context for the following scenes, including the operations office assault. Without the "missing link", the audience questions how the xenos did enter the residential area of the colony in the first place.

I've met lister and criton. Lister was a wanker, but criton was a very nice man and talked to me about my artwork for a good 20mins. Robert was a good man and Craig was a complete piece of s**t.

Kinda wish they kept it in it’s funny. But then people would say this movie is too campy with crappy oneliners. You can’t have both 😂

What did she give him in the end? He's one of the scummiest charcters in film

😢😢😢

read the graphic comics called Newt's Tale, it covers the xenomorph takeover.

That story was supposed to be told with Prometheus, and we all see how that turned out

Some are. There are moments not included even in director's cut version (and for good IMO).

Maybe he thought there would be other adult colonists walking around and didn't see the point in bothering with a kid? I dunno really just a thought

I think it was FOX' fault, the movie was too long for them.

and killed all the mystery of what happened when the marines arrive.

@@5wheels178 Umm if you watched Alien what “mystery “ was there That scene underscored the absolute horror and tragedy of what happened especially when you see the children and that is the only mystery Were they taken by aliens and cocooned for face huggers or did their parents kill them to save them from that horrific situation

@@FP194 I don't need to see terrible acting from a bunch of extras to be spoonfed the idea that women and children died on Acheron.

Her Mother called the help, colonial team goes there and bring back them and some eggs, Her father died of Chesbursting process but alien queen escaped in that process, she find the hidden place for Nest and layed many eggs which infected more peoples including her mother and brother, she escaped from Alians and found by Marine team

There are no "Directors cut" from Aliens, only special edition. This restored version include scenes, what are not in special edition.

@@allsortofmovies ​​⁠ I do own the original DVD “Directors Cut” edition of Aliens… Its a original version directly from US and it has all these fragments in it. I bought it from a videostore when they went out of business. So that version does exist, at least here in the Netherlands…

@SonyStudioPro There is no official director's cut version. James Cameron has not cut another version of the theatrical version. In 1991, the Special Collector's Edition, later known as the Special Edition, was released for VHS distribution. This version contains 18 previously unreleased scenes. In 2009-2010 Special edition was released in digital format, certain distributors released Special edition version as Director's cut, in practice, this version is a Special Edition, only 3-4 existing scenes were corrected from the VHS version. These released versions do not have Hicks' commentary scenes, Burke's cocoon scenes, or Newt's escape scenes

@@allsortofmovies Is there a version with all of the scenes in this (incredible) compilation? Where did you get the Burke cocoon scene?

maybe go back and rewatch 3, it was.. mid.

Actually, Alien3 was the worst in the series with Alien4 Resurrection as second worst…

@@SonyStudioPro Covenant was worse.

It's the same ship. In the original alien they weren't able to see it on radar they honed in on the beacon.

They only picked the beacon signal while in space. Traditional radar, only surveils a close 360° view.

afaik the idea is that the ship was far away from where the colonies were. LV-426 isnt a small body: it has near-earth gravity, and the ability to retain a breathable atmosphere. Original 'Alien' script says 1200km across, which would give a surface area of about 4 million km sq, or twice the size of Greenland.

Watch the movie ALIEN and you will learn many things
