Michael biehn has won the hearts of two of the most badass women in film history. Only man alive who’s won the hearts of Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley. God like bragging rights right there
@@Gadget-Walkmen my nonsense? What nonsense? Cant everyone express their opinions without a goof like you trying to ruin everyone's happiness? Besides why would you assume I'm a kid ? Look at all the childish name calling you're spewing out of your big mouth...like I said everyone has the right to free speech and expressive thought if you dont like it keep scrolling...its common sense which you definitely lack
@@brad9888 You ARE spewing nonsense right now you child. And I'm NOT acting like a "goof" in the slightest you child and this has nothing to do with people's "happiness"? LMAO are you serious? Happiness? about what? Misinformation and misconception of claims? This has EVERYTHING to do with correcting bad claims and statements which everyone should do when it's present there. I don't have to assume you are a kid, you ARE a kid based on all the ignorant narrow minded claims you're making. I DON'T have a "big mouth" as I'm just I'm "name calling" because it's the only think children like you deserve since you can't response to anything else. And there is no "like I said" coming from you, you're not making any sense AT ALL. And how many times do I have to say this you child? Simply talking about their gender over and over again is taking away the point of what made them popular to begin with. Imagine if they talked about their gender so much in the movies like the people in the comment section are doing right now? That would be monstrously annoying and miss the point on what made them popular to begin with. This has nothing to do with "free speech" or "expressive thought" at all you fool. It's about getting facts about a situation wrong and me having to correct others on it. I'm not going to "keep scrolling" because it's important to correct misinformation on things which you clearly don't understand. I'm not lacking "common sense" at all you stupid fool. I'm one of the few people whose actually using common sense to correct people which you clearly don't understand. You're just unbelievably stupid to understand how correcting bad argument or claims works and you think anyone can say anything under the name of "free speech" how stupid can you get.
@@Gadget-Walkmen what is monstrously annoying to you is your problem and yours alone...just because it pisses you off doesn't mean they shouldn't say it
@@brad9888 Jesus Christ are you tell trying to talk to me even after I left? You want my attention this badly? That’s it. I’m muting and blocking you so I can NEVER see your comments ever again because it’s clear you think your trying to prove anything but your really not. Just nonsense whining and attention seeking on thinking you can say whatever you want and get away with it. I can’t stand every putrid thing that you have to say. I didn’t even read this one that left, I’m trying my hardest so my eyes can’t even read a single word you spewed out. Good bye forever you childish loser, I’m never hearing from you again.
@@Gadget-Walkmen how about staying off of social media completely until you have something nice and relevant to say...you can dish it out but cant take it huh ? That's what I thought
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)
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.
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.
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.
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”
@@Beforezzz Think about the first film. There is a lot of sexual imagery in that film. The second film ditched that motif, in favor of action spectacle I think Sigourney wanted to keep the Xenomorph sexual motif going 🤷🏽♂️
@@joshuasantana685 That's taking it to an entirely different level isn't it? lmao I wonder what were the details behind those requests because it sounds like she didn't quite realize the direction Alien was headed yet.
Why the fuck did they kill him off and the third one? Probably would have made the third one a success. The third one was okay I heard it wasn't much of a success probably made some money but not much
@@DUKETACTICS333 the third one went through development hell and the script was rewritten a ton of times. By the time they got around to it newt was way too old to play the same character that was supposedly in hypersleep, and I think Behin was busy with another project but don't quote me on that. So they ended up just writing those characters out. However they reconned this in a recent video game, and said he somehow survived.
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! 😂😂
@@mr.raslyon6626 I actually have the special edition of T2 without any deleted scenes and I know the actor was also in the first Terminator which was not my favourite Terminator movie 😒📺🎟️
@@rubyweymouth6843 Kyle's deleted scene with Sarah was amazing and heartbreaking...but I get why they cut it. It interupted the momentum of that part of the movie. Check it out when you can.
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.
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.
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.
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.
0:23 Imagine watching this clip without any prior context of the movie and being jumpscared midway through by a close up of Lance Henriksen inside a pipe
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.

@@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!

...And then the M41A was immediately replaced with the M41A Mk. II come the Fiorina 161 incident, and the Mk. II would itself be replaced with the M41A/2 come the Freya's Prospect outbreak.
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.
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
Funny how I never caught that 'pulse' meant ELECTRICAL pulse ACTION, not pulse in that it had anything to do with an energy weapon. No, it just means electrical pulses touch off each round instead of a hammer.
