Alien 1979 Ellen find Dallas & Brett Cocooned Deleted Scene Movie Clip - 4K UHD HDR Custom

In the distant future, the crew of the commercial spaceship Nostromo finds themselves on a routine journey back to Earth. However, their plans take an unexpected turn when they intercept a distress call emanating from a distant moon. Bound by their contractual obligations, the crew is compelled to investigate the source of the signal, and the Nostromo alters its course to land on the moon.
Upon reaching the moon's surface, the spaceship endures a turbulent landing, causing damage to its systems. Despite the setback, three courageous crew members venture outside the ship to explore the surrounding area. As they traverse the moon's desolate landscape, they stumble upon a mysterious hive colony that seems alien and menacing.
Meanwhile, the ship's sophisticated computer system successfully deciphers the message that initially appeared to be a distress call. To the crew's horror, they discover that the transmission was, in fact, a warning, cautioning against any contact with the moon's inhabitants. It becomes evident that the crew has inadvertently stumbled upon a perilous situation.
While investigating further, the crew members encounter a chamber filled with strange, leathery eggs. Unbeknownst to them, these eggs contain a terrifying, parasitic lifeform. In a moment of curiosity or perhaps misfortune, one of the crew members disturbs an egg, triggering a chain reaction that sets off a series of horrifying events.
As the crew watches in dread, a small, insect-like creature erupts from the disturbed egg and latches onto one of the crew members. Panic ensues as they attempt to detach the creature, but their efforts prove futile. It becomes clear that they are dealing with a highly adaptive and dangerous organism that poses a grave threat to their lives.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, the crew members race back to the spaceship, desperate to escape the moon and the encroaching terror. However, they soon discover that the creature they disturbed was merely a part of a much larger and more sinister life cycle. The spaceship becomes a battleground as they fight for survival against the relentless onslaught of the alien creatures.
With limited resources and a hostile environment, the crew members must devise a strategy to eliminate the alien threat and ensure their own survival. Their ingenuity, bravery, and resourcefulness are put to the ultimate test as they navigate through the claustrophobic corridors of the Nostromo, facing unimaginable horrors and uncertain outcomes.
The story of the Nostromo and its crew's desperate struggle against the alien menace is one of survival, fear, and the indomitable human spirit pitted against a nightmarish adversary from the depths of space.

​@danwilliams2551 it's not meant to be a simple alarm, it's meant for a much higher danger warning like last resort type stuff. There's regular alarms with intervals and then there's this sound which is the ultimate last warning super threat like gtfo of this place something is really wrong and beyond danger. If the alarm spoke it would say "run! Danger! Peril! Death!! Extreme death!! Super danger! Death incoming!!!"

This makes the Alien even more horrifying. It doesn’t just kill you it breaks you down at cellular level and you become the raw material and incubator for a face hugger! That then becomes a chest bursting parasite for your crew mates.

[@aaronbreeds5132]

yeah i feel like this life cycle gives the xenos hunting more logic, esp that it can use a living captor or a corpse... they couldve expanded on this with how a living host to create an egg was ideal for some reason, creating a different type of facehugger than a dead one, or just having more chance of success... plus its just bone chilling

[@shoulderpyro]

@@aaronbreeds5132 Likely when a Drone turns to eggmorphing hosts, the eggs it produces are more likely to have a royal facehugger rather than regular ones - allowing a queen to spawn and thus the hive to thrive.

What this scene shows is the original life cycle of the xenomorphs in Scoot's mind: the adult xenomorph captures prey that, through a chemical and genetic process, are transformed into a pupa that then matures into an egg from which a face-huggers is born that lays a larva in a live host from which the chastebusters emerges and matures into an adult xenomorph to start a new cycle. That's why on the alien ship there is a single spacejockey with a burst chest from which the xenomorph emerged that probably turned the rest of the alien crew into face-sucking eggs. Obviously Cameron in his sequel changed everything.

THIS was the scene from Alien. The creature has been built up for us throughout the film, but as far as we can see, it's just a slightly sadistic animal that hunts the crew one by one for no reason other than to apparently eat. Then it's revealed how wrong we were. It doesn't kill them, it keeps them alive, leaves them dying and puts them in a nest to slowly transform their bodies into eggs of its species, as if it were a sick digestion. All so that a new facehugger emerges again and the horror begins again. Man, this is really horrifying and alien.

[@ibuprofeno400pa]

They should have included this scene. It's horrific and shows the cycle of reproduction of the xenomorph.

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

It was cut mainly for pacing reasons, Ripley has obviously shut down the cooling towers to start the detonation process and has to pack her shit and GTFO, but then she slows all down to go and explore this? It takes away from the sense of urgency. Also it’s probably a little far-fetched and inefficient for the Aliens to reproduce by cocooning someone and slowly turning them into an egg.

[@josephgibbons2009]

If only they had set this scene before the destruct sequence. It has such a fascinating alternate take on the lore. All the same, I do agree with Scott that it throws off the pacing of the finale. I think it would have fit better immediately prior to Parker and Lambert getting killed. In this sequence, we have Ripley mercy kill Dallas and Brett and then hear Parker and Lambert meeting their end before she can do anything else. I could see it there doing more to emotional stakes going into the final stretch.

Given that Brett is in the later stages of being Egg-morphed, and Dallas seemingly in the (very) early stages, it's safe to assume that the derelict housed not laid eggs, but morphed eggs. It would explain why the derelict is literally derelict, and why such a big ship has no crew besides the driver, the space jockey, who was probably responsible for the xenomorph breach. It would also explain why the derelict had a distress signal. Because seemingly 2000 years prior, the derelict crew went through a similar breach to what the Nostromo did. Letting that sink in, this version of the xenomorph becomes way more terrifying. A parasite perhaps so old and ancient, but lost in the deep reaches of space, surviving across time. If the spacejockey found a derelict spacecraft some 24 hours before crashing on LV426, which then led to being found 2000+ years later - who knows how old the xenomorph could've been. Certainly, it's seems the Nostromo would've ended up just like the derelict if it wasn't for Ripley self destructing it. And who knows, perhaps this theory could play a role in Alien Romulus. Perhaps the Renaissance station is playing a derelict-like role. (My fingers are crossed that movie is good)

What did you think of Alien Romulus?

[@REDI2UM]

@@BrickQuake Brilliant! Saw it twice back-to-back on release day and will be seeing it again in 4DX

[@aaronbreeds5132]

im sure the answer to "why wasnt this left in" is that scott had no idea that a sequel would ever be made and he was great at leaving things to mystery, and felt it really did not help the story to show this scene (outside the fact that they found dallas's flame thrower with no blood suggesting that maybe he was not dead)... it may have suggested that there were a lot of other passengers on the derelict which perhaps was not what he wanted

[@johnniea4684]

He chose to include it in the later cut, so maybe not.

[@mallups4gamer411]

How did you upscaled this scene i mean which software you used

[@TheInfectiousCadaver]

kind of wish this made it in, it shows the alien is more capable than just murder. its thinking and thats an extremely scary thought.

[@kibakim]

MASTERPIECE

[@stevelangstroth5833]

I love that siren sound. 😁

[@TheTechCguy]

All of these bad things happening on the ship just because Kane decided to look too close at the Xenomorph eggs!! Nostalgia!! 😱👽☠️

[@AuroraMeansDawn27]

Still one of the best movies

[@andrewchin6211]

I can't even make out the form of Brett. Where is he underneath all of that?

[@johnniea4684]

He's in the partially-formed egg shape - what's left of him, anyway. From what I gather, he's being transformed into what will eventually be an alien egg, complete with face-hugger. He's at an advanced stage of the process and is probably still alive only in the crudest sense, and almost certainly isn't conscious any more. Unlike Dallas, who's in an earlier stage of the process and is still recognizably in human form. Pretty horrible tbh, much worse than if they'd been killed outright like Parker and Lambert. Makes sense though, as in the 1979 version Brett and Dallas just disappear into thin air, with no blood or anything.

[@AlejandroGonzalez-fs5ez]

Straight from a nightmare, what a movie god damn 👏

[@AI-Cyrax]

I feel like Dallas after nightshift work :)

[@AndrewsSecrets360]

Awesome scene! I wish they didn’t delete it

[@Ballterra]

This was in the version we got at our local cinema don’t know how or why because my home town was a real backwater in those days.

[@leerobbo92]

This remains probably the most horrifying scene I've seen.

[@charlesschafer5979]

They were right to cut this scene. Wouldn't have made sense to keep it in.

[@michaeldayton127]

Not that this isn’t already horrifying but imagine if Dallas’s original casting choice of Harrison Ford had worked out and we had to watch Han Solo beg to be put out of his mercy before he morphs into an alien nightmare

[@filippovecchiarelli1144]

what a video quality :O

[@phom975]

really adds to the 'morph' aspect of the xenos

[@shadowkidse6901]

As much as I love this scene, I can 1000% see why they deleted it. It would’ve made no sense at all for Ripley to just activate self destruct on the ship and on her way to escaping, she decides to check out some random room while the literal threat of death is counting down on her

[@Archangel_Princess]

Why they cut this?? It's freaking horror!😫

[@ulfingvar1]

It disrupts the flow of previous and following scenes.

[@aaronbreeds5132]

just watched this film again and was disappointed that this scene was not in extended version (not the extended version i watched anyways, only scene i noticed was dallas talking to mother right before going into the ventalation)... this is so disturbing and sad, and adds another level of wtf to the story... but, i can appreciate that scott wanted to keep the origin of the eggs open to further story development, even tho i prefer this to the queen, i think it gives the aliens more of a purpose to be hunting people down, esp when they kill but dont eat them... that part has always seemed so pointless to me

[@squicker]

This scene is in the Director's Cut.

[@pontusjakobsson8653]

Gruesome fate... Being immobilized and left to sense your own body being dissolved slowly 😱

[@Jakery1057]

Is there a directors cut or something with all the deleted scenes edited back into the movie??

[@topknot01]

Yes, it came out in 2003

[@MegaBadseed]

Anyone here remember Brett Dallas the NRL player?

[@Brololski]

that movie is 45 years old, jesus christ

[@Jirwemthegreat]

A pity that there’s no place for this scene to go without stopping the movie dead in its tracks… it’s a really interesting scene to me.

[@bobbyodell8676]

So…if Dallas wanted to be killed, he must have had an alien in him, but how? If the Xenos can plant one, what’s the point of the facehugger? There was only one on board and it’s dead. It was good to cut this scene. Too much confusion.

[@johnniea4684]

You need to forget the version of the Alien life cycle (Queen etc) which was created for Aliens and used in various forms in the later films, and which imo derives too much from creatures on Earth. In this original concept, the adult alien does "something" to the captured and immobilized crew which causes them to mutate into an egg, containing the face-hugger creature. Don't ask me to explain how, exactly, but one thing I know about what form extraterrestrial life will take, and it will not be like anything that exists, or has ever existed on Earth - or that is represented in science-fiction. So, in that sense, it works for me. Not understanding it is a plus.
