5 Things You Might Have Missed in Alien (1979) | Alien Anthology

[@Dellaluna13]

Many of us ALIEN fans are very familiar with these, however the note about the eyes is wrong. To quote Giger: "Ridley and I convinced the producers to remove its eyes because it was more dangerous when you never know where it's looking."

[@atogon_art]

No eyes is a very good creature design tactic for the horror genre

[@Bryan48950]

Good for you want a cookie? Not everyone knows these things .

[@michaelfields1113]

Jesus, tell us something we don't know! How about this one: watch the beginning of Aliens. When the salvage crew are attempting to enter you can see Ripleys gun still trapped at the bottom of the door. James Cameron is obviously a man obsessed with detail.

5 random things we took from the 'making of' disc

[@thegood9]

And the #5's importance cannot be overstated as to how important it is/was.

The part of the film where John Hurt is on the table and the alien is about come out is the very first shots made and that is where the cast got a taste of what the film was all about. Plus it is said it was done all in one shot. Miss Cartwright part was cut out because she was in the path where the blood was going to spray. After that she covered in the blood and all that could be seen was her shoes as she was knocked to the floor.

[@theautisticnebula]

Have known about them for over 20 years

[@aleckermit]

Jonesy is often mistaken for a cat, yet is actually a dog.

[@TttTtt-zo7kt]

No. He was a very, very small man.

[@mistreme8341]

I like that someone finally mentioning that the egg slime drips up! I always thought I was seeing things!

[@darrinujlaky6589]

Also, I noticed the upward dripping on the egg, the 1st time I saw the movie!

[@ignaciolarasmotionpictures5624]

I new ALL this before! :D

[@Finalwars-s7d]

I love Alien 1979

[@ScoDucks24]

Best film ever made

[@katrinadeltoros7848]

That's when I saw it, I was 18. Has been my #1 favourite movie ever since.

[@Daysed.and.Konfuzed]

Giger was adamant about the Xeno's head being translucent with a human-like skull inside, with eye-holes and everything. He even complained about how, when James Cameron neglected Giger in the sequel, the result was xenomorphs with opaque black tops. The Xeno is not blind. His eyes weren't made obvious because being hunted by something that you can't tell where it's looking is more frightening. And the sheep intestines were actually in the facehugger's jump scene, by the way.

[@jhrandomvidsofficial]

I think anyone who has watched behind the scenes footage or documentaries on this film would have already knew those facts and more lol Still an all time fav despite i wasn't even born when this was released

[@timothysoutherland9111]

I saw it opening night and fell in love.

[@gaspervidovic2564]

Awesome!!!

[@luxafire1812]

interesting.

[@yuumei9745]

I knew all of this long time ago 😅

[@sankalparora9261]

Last point was really the stuff. Only 4 f*cking minutes made history.

[@darrinujlaky6589]

Everyone mentions that The Alien doesn't have eyes. Is it possible that the top of it's head, ( the smooth dome in this case), functions like one big sensory organ?A big eye so to speak, maybe "seeing " body heat or movement and relaying as "sight" to it's brain...hmmm..?

[@59rlmccormack]

Will you do a video about an Alien Terminator crossover?

[@Danlovar]

5. Bolaji Badejo was actually an alien that walked as a man in the real world.

[@danybayor]

I remember many people complaining about Covanent saying it takes for ever to see the Alien. This was over an hour and only has 4 minutes of screen time lol. Alien was ofcourse the a far superior movie but that argument is invalid

[@pau6785]

Well i knew everything about this...

[@mvtv-montanavigilantetv5976]

1. Yes, caught the first time. 2. No but not surprised. 3. Did not know and wish I didn't now. 4. Hmm. Geiger's early works did have eyes, methinks. 5. How is this fact possibly anything that "might have been missed"? Love the channel but only the first even has a pale glimmer of reflecting the promise of the near-clickbait title. Careful. Sacred Aliens ground here! (Plus kinda snarky this eve so time to get off the net! I iz so perfeck.)

[@thespiken]

Hoooorah

[@deviljyn]

Why they keep making videos like this? We're not ALL centennials you know

[@tonyz1121]

Damm all are "foods" that we can eat for survive.. Next time when we see xenomorph we gotten eat it up..

The whole major spoilers of the movie in 2 min. Thanks for remind XD

[@nicolaimadsen]

Complaints of no spoiler warnings for a 40 year old movie.. are you kidding me?

[@MarioTodorovBG]

@@nicolaimadsen Haha still a spoiler for someone who didnt see it. Not me but, I just thought they put the most iconic moments it's a bit inappropriate :)

[@rosstee]

If anyone watches a video called "5 Things You Might Have Missed in Alien" and hasn't bothered to actually watch the film, they deserve spoilers.

[@trevdjmrbeaver3150]

Nothing like old news is there FFS
