The ultimate badass

Right? "Hey Vasquez! Have you ever been mistaken for a man?" "No. Have you?" Priceless. :)

I've got mad respect for Lance Henriksen in general, too. He had a first grade education and was completely illiterate until he was in his 30s. Only then did he learn to read. IIRC he's also severely dyslexic which didn't help.

His name is James, James Cameron! The bravest pioneer! No budget too steep, no sea too deep Who's that? It's him, James Cameron! James, James Cameron explorer of the sea With a dying thirst to be the first Could it be? Yeah that's him! James Cameron!

Of course it is not perfect at all, like here the totally unrealistic "how to drop from orbit" but it is perfect entertainment. Even technical correctness would not have made it better, improvement was always possible. Another thing here: elite soldiers don't yell at each other. They didn't need to be motivated like a group of boyscouts.

no kiding

That is why its gonna stay a pure horror science fiction movie from its era and thats why we like it so much.

The 80s 😊

Damn straight!

Back when they actually knew how to write character arcs for truly strong women, not the tripe they write today about Marysues with no character arcs at all and arrive perfect and flawless and unquestionably right about everything all the time. Often the embodiment of the writer's own narcissism.

One of them. Star Wars is definitely up there and personally I liked the Screamers series of movies.

Agreed

You said it... I agree...

In the action-scifi sub-genre, it's among the best, I agree. For sure the movies of that era take the top spot in my opinion. Just think of T2, Robocop, Total Recall, Jurassic Park, the thing. The late 80s and early 90s has been the golden era of scifi.

Yep it's a great movie,but for me nothing tops Predator.

And sound design

and i love how with all the futuristic technology they still wear jungle boots from the 1960's

This film, as well as the original Alien, pretty much defined my taste in how sci-fi tech looks - beefy, military-industrial equipment looking like a fusion of primitive and futuristic, because it's built to go through hell and back and keep working.

Its the one of the best films ever made

What makes it as great as it looks is that it looks weathered, used, worn-in, lived in. Back then filmmakers took great care in making a movie as believable as possible because you’re telling a story, and you can’t skinp on details, especially when the military is involved.

One of the best sci fi movies ever made.

That scene was included in a version made for TV. I remember seeing it in like '91 and being awestruck. It was like watching two Warthogs destroying an enemy position with impunity!

Alien is a masterpiece. Aliens is a masterpiece. They are different and I am ok with that.

@@stephaneneron yup and Alien 3 is the greatest of em all imo

Exactly. James Cameron made the Alien franchise a staple of pop culture with his vision for this movie. Too bad Fox saw fit to put the franchise in the very incapable and incompetent hands of Ridley Scott who has slowly ruined the franchise over the years.

@@Commodore22345franchise franchise franchise franchise

@@citizen3000 Not an argument.

Yep... it also means they focus on plot and characters. Most modern sci-fi films have extended fight or action sequences that are frankly boring because they are just special effects - very clever but just not engaging.

There is a realistic feel when miniatures are used effectively as opposed to the common artificial lighting of cgi goo smeared all over the screen.

it's easier to do it on a computer programme :/ Star wars...

Yep, exactly. They had to think of every aspect of these complex scene wnhen today, the only answer you need for anything is CG....

​@@stephaneneron the only real use imo of CGI is for safety reasons or to enhance stuff. More practical the better just don't kill people irl. (Like Twilight Zone, Rust, The Crow... mostly preventable if people were smart and safe but.. history shows us the opposite.)

Just out of curiosity, how did you come across this video? I've noticed a surge in hits the past couple days and am just wondering where they're coming from lol.

Since people are watching a lot of Alien: Covenant information clips on RU-vid. Your clip pop's up on the recommended section. Well, at least it did on mine. One of my all time favorite movies growing up as a kid. James Cameron is the King of the sequels. We'll see what he does with Avatar 2. Anyways, I hope I could help answering your question. Peace.

+eldusto84 I came here from the video being on my recommendation list.

100% true and also love the edgy score!

Thomas Gideon Yeah one of the best.. THE best sci-fi movie EVER made would go to BladeRunner 🏃

John Smith what about predator though? that was definitely one of the best.

Americanmade justice GREAT movie!!!! Buuuuut not THE best. It would certainly go to BladeRunner 🏃 without a doubt. I mean 30 years later given the special effects etc it would kick the shit out of what is coming out of Hollywood. Aliens will always be nipping at it's heels as it should.

Yeah while the lieutenant with 1 combat drop was over there sweating bullets Hicks was sleeping like a baby😂

they steal it for fun in other videos like "somebody feed fred"

Yes I agree

Axgoodofdunemaul lol yeah that’s one of the things I love about this movie, the way they nailed the military being a veteran myself.

Al Mathews (Sgt Apone) (RIP) was a Marine, 1st Division in Vietnam, almost a “Full Metal Jacket” with Aliens, the “Gunny” Lee Ermey (RIP) of Cameron vs Kubrick.

Even had the spineless, clueless officers, too! Lt. Goreman. What a putz.

@@stanmoroncini8825 I ended up being a weapons loader in the Air Force. Hoping I could load weapons like the ones in the movie, that kinda load themselves (the drop ships). Not the case in the real world. Desert Storm '90-'91 Taif, Saudi Arabia 494th FS.

abso-fucking-lutely!!!

The special addition of Alien 3 was just about watchable. The theatrical release was utter garbage. As for Cameron, I'm still waiting on BD versions of True Lies and The Abyss.

Can't really disagree with any of that other than the Abyss being only OK. Like I said, the SE of Alien 3 was at least just about watchable, but it was far from great. To be honest, I'm astonished that RS ever got funding from a studio for another Aliens movie after the abortion that was Prometheus. Id rather have seen the plug pulled and a complete reboot of the franchise handed to JJ.

Lady Gaga at 02:39 ^^

Atheist Avenger I agree I hated prometheus

I know the feeling. And then came Space Hulk ... lol To minimise the frustration of not living in that movie.

get the extended version, its great!

I bought the extended version - on Laser Disc!! It costed me an arm and a leg but it was worth it! Later I also bought the DVD, and then moved onto Blu-ray. My friends said I was crazy.

"They don't make them like that anymore" - Just dont think they can anymore even if they tried.

My old VHS tape had to be thrown away because I watched it over 100 times. I was happy when it was released on DVD and Bluray disc. I saw the movie at the cinemas three times in one weekend in 1986.

The stupid music in this scene shows how easily a great movie can become Cringe-inducingly bad. James cameron always made the best calls

Back then we just took movies like this for granted, we assumed they would keep coming and logically movies could only get better. How naive we were

Vasquez, yowza

Hard to believe that this was done in 1986. In 2023 I am amazed 😊

@@MB-rt9dq Aliens 3 ruined this movie for me. I was hoping for a war, and ended up seeing nothing but a coverup.

Thats mean he was really nervous too

@@miguelantonioalbrechtalba5426 It means the exact opposite, he wasn't nervous at all. It's showing that he's a battle tested marine and has been to combat many times so he isn't worried like everyone else.

@@muccmaster could be, during my time in the service I saw that kind of behavior.

@@miguelantonioalbrechtalba5426 Also have we considered that Hicks sleeping shows that Hicks is utilizing his time well? As a Marine he knows there's no guarantee of sleep until the mission is finished, so he uses the drop as a power nap session. At the point where he says they're all "in strung out shape, but stay frosty," he seems to be the only one still alert. He even advises Ripley to get some sleep as well, telling her she'll need it. I laugh everytime at the line "Somebody wake up Hicks" but I think that scene shows how experienced a Marine Hicks is.

@@mish375 Once,and many years ago I ask about this matter to a psicólogist and he explain that this kind of behavior is a clear signal of "being on the verge",so in my experience show the both faces. Greetings from Peru SouthAmerica.

Not in this alternate scene. This take seems written and directed by some one who's never spent any time around military folks.

Well the Actor who played Stg. Apon was a legit Marine Corp. Sargent. And over-look the military Protocols and Drills.

All that running and yelling when they load on the drop ship - and drop - pretty much - no. The impression I've gained is that they're mostly quiet and mentally focused on their jobs. Hicks falling asleep - it probably the most realistic. The chatter by the air crew is OK. The other thing is - they show these guys chambering rounds before they board the drop ship. That is typical Hollywood. You would not want to chamber a round until you were about to land because an accidental discharge could have a negative effect on the drop. How negative would depend on what it hit - but - putting a hole in a space ship when you don't have enclosed helmets and space suits - would not be a good thing. Being in an APC you might not have a penetration of the drop ship - but - if the round didn't penetrate the APC - it might just bounce around inside it - which would also not be a good thing. .

@@BobSmith-dk8nw There are definitely Hollywood aspects to it so it's not 100% true to what I'd expect in the real world, but it's definitely a huge improvement to those movies where someone's running around in a spandex suit with no gear and with no real organized team tactics firing a laser pistol.

@@hoppy6437 I didn't mention that this is a very good film. So - my remarks about it's inaccuracies are just for the purpose of pointing out when something is Hollywood rather than real. You're always going to have problems with reality in a movie like this - because - it's in the script that the unit will be destroyed by the Aliens - the only question is - how are they going to do it. As good as this movie is - and I really liked it - this operation was set to fail from the get go - when they only assigned one squad to it. That - and the idea that there was no crew to their space ship was absurd. Here - the Aliens are represented as an unstoppable force - when they were not really all that tough. On the Nostromo - in _Alien_ - their acid based blood was a problem in that it could eat through the ship - but then - all the crew had to do was don space suits and blow the thing to hell. Then patch up the holes. But - that is common place among monster movies - in that it isn't so much that the monster is a total bad ass - as the humans it is killing are stupid. .

Preparing & practicing for the face huggers , lol !!!

the man, Al Matthews, who played Sergeant Apone was a sergeant in the Marine Corps and served in Vietnam. He was awarded 2 purple hearts. so he probably suggested it.

And it indirectly showed how good their pilot was when he knew he could catch some ZZZ's without worrying about the drop ship crashing

Squire Muldoon That’s not true, plenty of people liked it beyond nostalgia, it isn’t some cult following group.

@@squiremuldoon5462 I can't say. I've never seen it. But it seems to divide fans. I think it would be interesting to learn more about the Predators and their homeworld to be honest. They seem like an interesting alien race. And generally we've only seen them hunting humans (and xenomorphs for people who've seen AvP, which I haven't) so seeing how they organize would be cool.

@@charleswest6372 yea, never understood why so few. I thought the company also wanted to study Xenos so surprised they didn't send a whole Xeno capture team as well. probably about the weakest thing in the plot imho. I mean if they brought Ridley they believed Ripley and they knew the Xenos will be there especially with all the data from Alien 1 they retrieved from Mother computer and also bringing Ripley would have never happened in the first place because the company knew she would just destroy the Xeno anyway. so it all never really made sense to me.

Yes! They really did a great job building up the characters in the team and you felt with them as they died off one by one. Don't waste a minute of your life seeing Alien: Covenant. In that movie they went, "Hey, let's throw in a burly-looking guy who wears a cowboy hat that looks like it's made from a doily mat, but why and who is he no one knows! And, let's not answer any questions, but promise to completely disappoint you on the origin of the xenomorphs."

That wasn't an accident. The cast went through months of military style training together to get the unit cohesion that you see here. And of course, Al Matthews was a highly decorated US Marine and combat veteran who fell right into a leadership role as the team came together. RIP Al.

The beginning cinematic of Halo the video game is pretty much this

A lot of these cliches do go back to Frank Herbert's "Dune" from 1965 & Robert Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" from 1959. For example, the space marines & mecha, like the ones you see here in Aliens (and other movies such as Avatar 2009 & computer games such as Halo) basically came from Starship Troopers 60 years ago. Star Wars got many ideas from Dune. Alien/Aliens is just one of many movies that has helped propagate those old sci-fi ideas, tropes & stereotypes that were born in the 1950's & earlier.

Other movies might have ripped off Aliens, but Aliens is a complete ripoff of the 1958 movie "It The Terror From Beyond Space".

@@brienmaybe.4415 not even...and I'll tell you why, cause this is genuine and not contrived. Look at the script, the Non-PC digs the characters make to each other in jest...it comes off as natural and light-hearted. In the end, they all respect each other and fight for one another. They are literally all likeable and it has nothing to do with the fact of their gender or color, but because they are relatable people/just human.

True.. I wish to one day see them pick up right after Aliens, with Ripley, Hicks and Rebecca in the lifeboat (at this point I would be fine with recasting, even though I wanted to see Sigourney to kick ass one last time again so much. (Thanks Ridley!) But there are no movies of this quality nowadays. They took time to suck you in (remember the first few minutes of ALIEN 1979? No words for a very long time, just camera panning, tasting every carefully weathered surfaces, hard and cold, soft and hot). The director achieved visual masterpiece (I guess, thanks Ridley!), a piece of cinematographic art. I have the feeling Hollywood does not care about art anymore. The movies nowadays are products to be consumed by customers, their content strictly defined by marketing department, people infected by politics, business strategists.....all but true ARTISTS. People with unending passion for their work, exceptional talents who crave to show their stories in a new and bold way. Not to satisfy KPI's or shareholders, but for the sake of creating art, part of culture which will be remembered for decades.

@@freighttrain7143 Exactly! 😎👍

Nothing can touch Alien. Aliens isn't even in the same class although it is a masterpiece itself.

My ex-wife and I were down near Camp Lejune on our honeymoon and we got behind a convoy of Humvees. She marveled at two Marines in the back resting on their M4s. I told her those were some experienced Marines, get sleep where they could. I saw Aliens later in life and thought the same thing about Hicks: get sleep where you can.

Vasquez, Jenette Goldstein, Hotter than the Sun

It’s quite common for troops to sleep on the aircraft prior to mission insertion. The amount of time spent in preparation, planning, rigging equipment, etc. doesn’t allow for much time to sleep. By the time you load the aircraft, you’re smoked. So you just crash until the 20 minute warning.

@@Zkkr429 yes toys, people just blind with "back then, in my times, the past always better" If the old days were better, then leave RU-vid, internet, all modern stuff. CGI is just a tool, as those "toys" were to tell a story, CGI can bring worlds, characters special effects will never do. And is so true what I'm saying, that when something new, a new tool appears to creat movies. Cry babies will talk about how CGI was better.

Yep. She even reacted offensively by trying to draw her pistol when the alien surprised her in the cockpit of her dropship. No high pitched terrified screaming or freezing up, but reacting like the badass marine she was trained to be.

@@siroliver5434 right???

She's got a lady gaga vibe about her
