Tony, Joe, and Johanna return for ALIENS! The sequel to Alien. In this movie review/podcast they will talk about why its a great sequel. Everything from the jump forward the movie took with special effects, how they pulled off amazing stuff on a relatively small budget, and how the movie came out so good despite the problems that were happening behind the scenes.
After floating in space for 57 years, Lt. Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) shuttle is found by a deep space salvage team. Upon arriving at LV-426, the marines find only one survivor, a nine year old girl named Newt (Carrie Henn). But even these battle-hardened marines with all the latest weaponry are no match for the hundreds of aliens that have invaded the colony.

It kind of feels like a cut there, but the reference was appreciated. M.R.E.s from Burt Gummer. I think Burt would be at home in this cast.

I have a weird personal connection to this movie. In the deleted scene about Ripley's daughter, Paul Reiser's character explains where she is buried. The town he mentions is Little Chute, Wisconsin. I was born and raised there. It is about 30 miles south of Green Bay, Wisconsin. I never figured out why they choose my home town. I am guessing some one from Little Chute worked on the movie.

I think I'd have to say I like Alien more overall. I prefer the crew of the Nostromo to the colonial marines, and there's a greater sense of mystery in the first movie. But I'll admit I have to be in the mood to watch Alien because it _is_ kind of slow. Aliens, on the other hand, I can watch just about whenever.

@cthulhupthagn5771 2 года назад

Those were some neat plot holes you mentioned towards the end. Regarding how the alien queen had time to lay the egg, other than the fact that they were clearly on the ship for a while before it took off oh, the ship is really big cording to the exterior shots. I always got the impression in the alien universe that in order for the ships to be able to travel at the speeds they did and for other reasons, they were really really big because most of it was machinery. Likewise I always assumed that Ripley was able to still hold on at least in part because I thought the ship had artificial gravity. You don't see a rotating cylinder anywhere on the exterior which means in order for them to be sticking to anything there has to have been a gravitational pull and maybe that gave her an edge

Hate to point this out but Lance Henriksen did not die from a Alien he was ripped in half but still living and only died in Alien 3 cause he was damaged beyond repair and asked Ripley to turn him off. So Bill Paxton is still the only one to be killed by a Predator, Alien and Terminator.

Tapes? I used VCR tapes to time shift ordinary TV shows of the time. The cost of a VHS tape of "Alien" (1979) was a bit too expensive back then, so I looked at Laserdisc, instead. I saw "Aliens" (1986) in the same ex-Cinerama theater that had shown "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) and "Star Wars" (1977.) When Ripley and "Rebecca" met in the latter's hideout on LV-426, I wondered how she was able to "get close, quickly" to the traumatized survivor. A reviewer at the time said: "Sisterhood!" I didn't buy it, and when I got the Special Edition Laserdisc(!) the extra scenes made it clear how they were connecting.

I remember his upper half holding someone by the arm so they don't get sucked away. Did he die in that movie at some point? Did I miss something? EDIT: Because if he DIDN'T, then Bill still keeps his mantle.

@ganjiblobflankis6581 2 года назад

The part with no bullets shows that Ripley is smart and observant, Burke is knowledgeable and Gorman is a total drip. He knows why they cannot use bullets and gets flustered. He could call them back and rearm or he could explain the situation and have them press on, but with standing orders to withdraw from the plant on enemy contact. Instead he just tells them the prohibition. In the heat of combat you cannot explain orders, but all he needed to say was "Sgt Apone, your explosive-tipped rounds could rupture the coolant for the nuclear power plant and cause it to blow up, don't use them!" Marines realising a stray explosion will cause a nuclear explosion around them WILL be motivated to not cause explosions.

Of course we know the story of why Cameron was writing those scripts before going into production for The Terminator - it was original supposed to go into production in British Columbia in 1983, but Dino de Laurentiis has Schwarzenegger under contract for one more movie. Production had to be postponed for 6 months while Arnold filmed Conan The Destroyer. In that time James Cameron was able to write both FIRST BLOOD part 2(which of course became RAMBO....) and ALIEN 2(which of course became ALIENS). Also production was moved to Los Angeles, and Cameron storyboarded the entire film. If this story has already been told here then my apologies 😁
