Watching *ALIEN* for the FIRST TIME! | Movie Reaction 

"That [tongue] seems like a massive design flaw on the alien species." The world's moray eels would like a word.

99% of the special effects and set design still work in 2024. This is a classic.

Their reaction to the Alien coming out of him and his reaction to it was an honest reaction, because the actors didn't know that would happen. 😆

Sending extra *cat cuddles* for this one 😽💜

That Zzavid comment omggggg💀sounds like something he would say about himself lmao

@11:57 Calling Bilbo Baggins “uncanny Mr. Bean” 🤣 I can see the similarity

"Hi! I'm Spoiler the Cat! I survive almost everyone! Enjoy the movie." ~RiffTrax Presents Alien

Because of you, I call Zzavid “Z.Z. Avid”. Glad to hear you continue to say his name wrong lol. Great horror reaction as always!

Point of correction; this movie is not a cult classic, but rather the standard to which all of horror sci-fi is measured. The cat is onboard to help control vermin. As with sailing ships, spacecraft also get rats in the cargo.

Jonesy the Cat: “I didn’t sign up for this shit.”

Fun fact: Only the director and John Hurt knew the chestburster scene was going to happen. The reactions of the actors around the table were genuine. They were really freaked out. That's what I've heard anyway. Jonesy rules! So does Milo.

Remember 44 years ago there had been nothing like that before. Alien was the first. It genuinely freaked people out.

Well now I have an unfortunate image of what a “oversized spider doing a 69” could look like . 😢 thanks pug !🤣🤣🤣🤣

"You can't have a flame in space" Ever wonder what that orange thing in the sky is?

Don't worry. The cat's the only one who dies comfortable at home of old age in pretty much the entire franchise

Omg omg omg!! I’ve been waiting on this!!!

I was the Alien the whole time?!? 😮 Also Paul Rudd is my vote, he hasn’t aged at all. Gotta be an alien.

That Ripleys Believe It Or Not joke actually got me really good. I applaud you for that one.

LOVED your reaction to this classic. But now you MUST watch ALIENS (aka the sequel) and you definitely must watch the Director's Cut of that one also. It has over 20 minutes of additional footage, and it still amazes me how much good material ended up on the cutting room floor when they edited the film. Take care, and have a groovy day.

Ripley was singing the song .."You are my lucky star" (from 'Singing in the rain')😊

Alex is the alien because they both have “A” at the beginning of their names

The alien is such an iconic creature design and boy was it at its peak with the original with how scary it was. The chest bursting scene was actually hidden from the rest of the actors so their reactions to when it happened were real. The face huggers are so disgusting and having acid blood I mean like cmon it’s so good. A shame the franchise stepped away from the horror in the sequels and chose to focus more on action. So I’m glad the new alien movie coming out will return to its horror roots. Aliens is a great sequel tho.

Holy cow, Alien???? Glad you reacted to it! Hope to see another reaction of the 2nd movie lol

Aliens is one of the best sequels ever made

Omg not zavid I’m deceased!!!!

I love these movies! After Aliens, they kinda went off the rails. I still think they're fun to watch, though. I'm excited for the new Alien movie coming out soon! 🤩

As a long-time Alien franchise fan, it tickled me watching your reaction to the chest bursting scene. The face-hugger will always remain as an irrational fear of mine.

According to Google. This is the exact timeline in order. AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004) ... Aliens vs Predator: Requiem (2007) ... Prometheus (2012) ... Alien: Covenant (2017) ... Alien (1979) ... Aliens (1986) ... Alien 3 (1992) ... Alien Resurrection (1997)

Side sleepers are immediately vented out into space for obvious reasons...😊

Part of what I love about this movie is that it’s basically long haul truckers in space.

“They grow up so fast!” 😂😂😂. Thanks for sharing with us!

When it was counting down the first time it was counting down to the time limit for her to override the self destruct. Then the 5 minutes was all she had left to get out because she ran out of time to turn it off.

Remember the ship with the eggs is still there...

Alien 1979 is a great movie. 45 years later. It still holds up. It is fun watching a first timer watch the movie. Here's to many more years of the Alien franchise.

Please do part 2 - Aliens. It has more action, stunts and more Aliens !! xx

*Aliens (1986)* is a must watch.

Hi Alex, welcome to the world of Alien. The spider creature is a Face hugger ! xx

Aliens and Terminator 2 are the 2 best sequels EVER made.

Wow, is nice to see you also know my queen Zzavid, besides cody and bridget, im always waiting for all of you to upload reactions!! Great Alien reaction btw!!! I felt the same way as you for the cat! I hope u continue with all the other movies, Alien 2 is pretty good too ❤

I was there in 1979, after "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters", i thought this would be a semi scary, fun little romp, man, was i wrong, it scared me for years. I never saw spider plants, the kind that are indoors, the same way again.😅

Love the zzavid call outs. It’s really insane how big this reaction community is and I’m here for it!🖤

5:35 Lethal Company flashbacks... All this scene needs is Bridgette singing "We love the company" 😂

Yours and Zzavid are my current top reactor channels that I always check from time to time and I've been so curious since you've referenced him in several vids already lol Are you guys friendsss? If so, any plans for collab? I can't imagine the chaos HAHAHA

Oh this is going to be fucking hilarious 😂

It would be really fun to see you react to more movies in the series.

The subliminal sexual imagery you thought you saw in the film you actually did see. Alien, is laced with it. If you re-watch the film with that in mind, you’ll notice that subtle, and not so subtle, sexual imagery seeme nearly everywhere. Alien is based on the art of Swiss surrealist, H.R. Geiger, RIP. Google his name along with the term, ‘Necronomicon’. Geiger’s art is a mix of bio-mechanical horror, and strangely erotic imagery. Ridley Scott masterfully includes Geiger’s art to heighten the horror of the film. Fear, and sexual arousal both set the nervous system on high alert. They are two sides of the same coin, as it were. Scott laces Alien with erotic cues so to sub-consciously arouse the audience’s autonomic nervous systems. Then, when something scary does happen, it’s all the more fear inducing.

if youre not sure how to watch these movies, please watch in the following order of release ^^ ALIEN ALIENS ALIEN 3 ALIEN RESSURECTION PROMETHEUS ALIEN COVENANT Thank you so much for uploading a reaction to my all time favourite movie franchise

Wasn’t expecting this! Awesome!

Goddamnit that Believe it or Not joke got me good. 😂

Total classic. Thanks Puggapilla, Total legend! Hope You're alright & dandy guy. Again Thank You kindly For such a great upload :)

3:03 I love the audio here. Everyone's voice in that tiny insulated space.

I was 12 and had a balloon with me when I was watching this for the first time when it came out. When the Chest burster scene happened, I freaked out and let go of the balloon and it floated in the air and across the screen, freaking people out even more. Those were the days!

Holly crap!!! I never thought that this day would come!!! I'm so happy!!!

Btw - your guesses about how everything looks like male and female parts. It's actually one of the design ideas behind Alien. Majority of the animals are either based on futuristic artist or human biology. With how fallic and r-wordy it is - it hits into some fears never really explored before in the movies. It's a twisted version of getting pregnant an giving birth, that sometimes freaks out people - especially men, who in this universe also can be the "victims". 29:20 The head is shiny probably to enforce all the fears about bugs. Also they really wanted to make it look alien. 32:50 For modern screenings - definitely, but back then our knowledge of epilepsy, especially from the movies wasn't as advanced. It had to been until very big events like for example when Pikachu made explosion in Porygon episode that caused multiple kids to have an attack, that special measures were added to movies and tv shows. 35:30 It's a mechanism used to catch the prey faster or to reach further. At least that's how it works in real world, as this is based on real fish, who do that to catch food. A second jaw like element.

Thank you to Janell for requesting this and thank you to two other of my favorite reactors Zzavid and Mr. Movies for recommending this. I'm glad you finally watched Alien! Please do Aliens in the near future.

I have waited so long for this

The xenomorph is lucky Ripley shot it into space. Jonesy was about to serve up a fresh helping of skippity-paps.

Subscribed now. I've been watching your videos without doing it.

The alien sneaking around the corners bit 🤣 😆

Facts. I get enough anxiety when I can’t even find my cat. One time he jumped into a dresser drawer and closed it on himself 🤣

They would have all survived if they had just listened to the crazy cat lady. 😊

I have visceral reactions when a large leaf skitters towards me in the Fall because of the game, Alien: Isolation. Facehugger jump scares are no joke.

The mouth within a mouth isn’t a design flaw, it works just fine for them. Some animals on earth have similar setups, called “pharyngeal jaws,” though those don’t extend past the primary jaws.

Trivia: Fun fact the Xenomorph/alien's were based off ants. The reason why is because the aliens have a queen and the stages of the aliens are the stages of an ant along with the way they act the aliens are the guards that protect the eggs and queen plus the queen spends time laying a bunch of eggs. Just like an ant queen pretty cool huh.

36:41 It's interesting how it has that long ass head and it wasn't laughable to the audience. It's an iconic monster.

The 10 seconds of directors cut you showed was game changing

In this case, the "director's cut" is no such thing. It's not even canon. It was a marketing scam by the studio. In the case of Aliens, it's the opposite. The special edition is the preferred version, the original story written and filmed by Cameron, and the one he intended the audience to see.

Zavids channel is awesome! Honestly, awesome channel! 7:25 the new Alien movies make more sense now with this imagery , so good and I get it now. 😮

Spoiler Alert The funniest summary I ever read of this movie went like this: "Alien is about no one listening to the smart woman in a crisis so the only one who survives is the smart woman and her cat." I don't know where you come up with your twisted commentary (like 69ing a spider), but please keep it coming. It's hysterical. 🙂

Okay that Believe It or Not joke was good lmao

Uh oh, theatrical is the preferred 😂 Ridley stands by it. He only did the Director’s Cut because they asked him to. The biggest difference is the cocoon scene in the middle of Ripley running to the escape pod “A giant spider 69ing his head” I mean…🤣 I’ve also always thought that image was an eye and a little frown! Jazz hands scare gets another one! 😂 The white stuff in Ash is circulation fluid. The thing that shoots out of the alien’s mouth is called a pharyngeal jaw, which is a real thing some animals have, like moray eels Apprently Jones is Ripley’s, according to an old trading card. An in universe tech manual says his official purpose is rodent control on the ship “And we just live happliy ever after?! How are there sequels?!” 😒😐 Wait, you’re calling it a cult classic as a joke, right? Because it isn’t. Just a classic.

Love this reaction 😀

AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE

Cant wait for Aliens 💜💜💜

hey, Pugg, you're definitely one of my favorite straight men to watch on RU-vid....

Lol, you would not leave David alone this episode. This is a classic for good reason & I'm glad a new person thinks it holds up, too. Another fun react, but I'd watch out b/c the one that looks like he would steal your lunch money and then, go fuck ya mom, afterwards, is gonna get you. Stay safe, lol.

This is what you call true creativity and talent. There was no such thing as CGI or special effects. Everything in this movie was created by hand, not computers. And it's one of the reasons many movies are horrible today. Using CGI, AI, and computer work, make some movies look cheap. And it's LAZY! Oh, and your reaction was great, as usual😅

The Louis Armstrong part had me cracking up😂

One of my favourites! Has a great cast in this aswell!

Oh what's this, Pugga has now covered 2 out of my 4 favorite films of all time 😁

I remember being in high school and seeing the first info coming out on the movie. It was monumental, and up there with Jaws in impact.

You should definitely watch spaceballs

Dude, if you are feeling sick at the 13 minute reaction, you are going to be very, very sick soon. 😫 it's akways fun to see a newby reaction.

6:10 Hey! I seen a video of a cat riding with its owner on a motorcycle. It even had its own little vest and helmet. 😸

Great vid Alex, hope that you check out the whole series eventually. Janelle, shout out for a great pick as always.

YASSSSSS. Here's hoping you do the entire series + all the Predator movies 😂😂😂

18:28 Alex!💀 omfg You scared the sh*t out of me 🤣🤣

Jones the cat is smart because he stays away from the Alien xx

ha, jocks on you i couldn't see my reflection. 😭🤣 ( 1:55 ) PS loved the reaction

The robot reveal had me in tears

1:10 That pose 🤣 Zzavid has entered...

Cats were almost always on ships, even on naval ships. All ships have rats on them.

The spider thing is a face hugger the one that popped out that guys chest is a chest burster

Aliens has to be next!

23:38 😂😂😂 I seen you play Lethal Company. I think you're right.

A classic😍🍿

2:35 Immediate question!?? Can I sleep in privacy. I need to be buried under a mountain of blankets.

15:13 He's eating for two now. 🤣

The extra mouth is for breaking through the skull. The force is enough to go right through. Have you ever seen "Return of the Living Dead"? That's a good one.

You can absolutely have explosions in space. All an explosion is is a rapid expansion of matter, usually gas or plasma. In this particular case, it was a nuclear reactor going supercritical. Effectively just a big nuclear explosion.
