ALIEN (1979) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@karlmoles6530]

I had quite an experience the first time I saw this. 1979. my head was in the clouds. I was super into Sci-Fi and Marvel comics. However I had very strict religious parents that wouldn't have dreamed of letting me se a film like this. Fortunately my best friend's Mom took me, him and his sister I had a crush for, to see the movie one Saturday afternoon. I had never seen an R-Rated film before nor any real Horror. The dread started in me the moment I saw the derelict spaceship. Then came the chestburster scene. I will never forget it. People all over the theater screamed, retched, threw up, ran out. And Valerie ended up in my lap. See I had a crush on her and had never been in close physical contact with a girl before. So I had all these feelings....right in the middle of an unimaginable horror show. She put her arms around my neck and cried into my shirt collar for pretty much the rest of the film. With her Mom sitting four chairs away I was real careful where I put my hands. As the film continues it got worse and worse, until Lambert and Parker's death, which twisted my stomach into knots. When Ripley finally got into the Narcissus and the infamous underwear scene started Val whispered right in my ear "Mine's better" I about died. That juxtaposition of being simultaneously aroused and horrified was devastating. I'll never forget it.

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

Not that is an experience!!!! lol Shoutout to Val!!!

It was "raining" in the huge landing leg compartment where Brett was killed. The simplest explanation is that the compartment was gigantic, with a very high ceiling. Water vapor in the air cooled and condensed into liquid water, which fell like rain onto the deck.

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

oh jesus, didnt even think about that. Man that thing was massive then.

When the landing gear is down, it gets covered with lots of ice. When it is retracted into the ship, the ice melts.

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

Agreed!

[@GhostedPaul]

The part where they yeeted Kane into space was essentially a burial at sea. Also the part where they landed, the landing gear was on some boulders which caused a shift in gravity and sent a shockwave through the ship. They had turned off the inertial dampeners so they had no shock absorption.

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

"Sharing an Uber" is amazing. And "face hugger' is what the team named it during production - and then that's now become part of Alien "lore". The production team called the adult alien the "Alien Dessert"!

[@phillymike3181]

The book explained 1) They were futuristic "truckers", so everything was utilitarian except for the crew spaces. 2) Earth had used up all fossil fuel, but there was an important derivative of crude oil that couldn't be synthesized so oil needed to be transported to Earth from another planet where it had been discovered. 3) Bringing the alien back to Earth was supposed to be a smuggling operation that the oil delivery would have shielded from government scrutiny. Someone else (stogie2112) already explained the reason for the "rain". FYI: "Acid" wasn't that common even during the 60s. It would have been pot/weed, with a very few using coke, which was usually saved for parties, dates or nights out at a disco.

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

Didn't even realize it started from books!! All those facts are super cool and wish they would have included those details in the movie. Maybe they talk about it in future movies. Thanks for the info!

There are some people in the world of the arts who peak at the beginning of their career. Ridley Scott is one of them, he directed this film and Blade Runner at a young age, these are two of the greatest films ever made nevermind sci-fi. The work ever since has been a mix of ok and bad and yes I include Gladiator in that bunch.

[@hendrsb33]

Have you seen Ridley's first film, THE DUELLISTS? I was never much into period pieces but, for some reason, this movie draws me in. It was set during the Napoleonic Wars, starring Kieth Carradine and Harvey Kietel.

[@BigGator5]

"It's got a great defense mechanism... you don't dare kill it..." Classic sci-fi horror. The tension is so thick, you will need a sharp steak knife in order to cut it. The voice of "Mother" is so iconic, in my honest opinion. There's something unnerving about a cold feminine voice counting down to your death. It wasn't until GLaDOS that we rediscovered that a computerized female voice can be absolutely creepy. Fun Fact: In H.R. Giger's original illustrations that inspired the look of the Alien, the creature had eyes. For the movie, Giger insisted that the creature have no eyes, thus giving the bleak appearance of a cold and emotionless beast that hunts by smell. Real Guts Fact: The dead facehugger that Ash (Ian Holm) autopsies was made using fresh shellfish, four oysters, and a sheep kidney to re-create the internal organs. Filming had to be done quickly because the organic material would go bad very fast under the studio lights. Bloody Solution Fact: It was conceptual artist Ron Cobb who came up with the idea that the Alien should bleed acid. This came about when Dan O'Bannon ran into a wall with the screenplay on how to handle the last half of the movie. He needed a good reason for why the crew members don't just shoot the thing and kill it but still not make it an indestructible monster that can't be killed. The acid blood was the idea that solved this problem.

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

Yeah the art style and just general vibes is simply immaculate. The acid blood is such a brilliant concept.

Kenny and Lindsay thank you so much for making first time reactions to The Thing (1982) directed by John Carpenter and Alien (1979) directed by Ridley Scott they are both my favorite sci-fi horror movies and i consider the both of them the greatest sci-fi horror movies ever created as well:).

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

Glad you enjoyed them! Thank you so much for watching!

[@Imylover]

Not many reactors make the connection with the giant dead alien on the derelict with its chest exploded & what happened to Kane! Very impressive! I have always found that as an obvious connection, foreshadowing, but most people just don't make that connection at all. So happy that you did, even long before Kane was even attacked by the facehugger! Impressive!

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

Thanks so much!! Yeah seems obvious, weird folks dont catch it.

[@AndrewWhite-ey2ep]

Alien is my favorite scifi/horror movie. Aliens is my equal favorite scifi/action movie - equal with Terminator 2. It simply depends on my mood at the time. I mention this because both Alien and Terminator franchises are some of the most loved of my generation, with some of the best heroes ever. However, both franchises have fans that will give very strong opinions on which movies you should or should not watch. I suggest you watch them all to form your own opinions. For this franchise, I personally prefer the 'extended' editions because I enjoy immersion into a deeper story - but others prefer the Theatrical edition because they don't slow down the core plot. Also, most reactors seem to get scared away from watching Alien 3 & 4 because of the many negative comments (somewhat deserved). However, watching them might be a point of difference for your channel since there are not many Alien 3 & 4 reactions out there. Alien vs Predator is a spinoff/cross-over series so you should 100% watch Predator first.

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

Yeah we also tend to prefer extended editions as we are lore nerds. Thank you for the comment! What about the Prometheus movies? I think I heard they were in the same universe, not sure how they relate to the Alien movies though.

[@AndrewWhite-ey2ep]

@@KennyandLindsayWatch Prometheus and Covenant are a 2-part prequel series to the 4-part main series with Ellen Ripley. They try to explain the origin story of the alien species, but are perhaps best viewed after the main series because the 'traditional' xenomorph has a smaller role. AvP confuses the issue because it also tries to stay true to the Predator universe, but I don't want to give any spoilers if you haven't seen Predator. My personal suggestions would be either 1. Release order of everything mentioned if you simply want to discover these universe(s) as we did, OR 2. Alien 1-4 then Prometheus then Covenant. That will cover the "official" Alien universe, then you can launch into AvP (after watching Predator any time you want)

[@victorsixtythree]

5:05 - I always thought the random clothes tossed on the floor was odd...but I think maybe it is meant to parallel the shedded skin of the alien from later in the film. There are so many instances of parts of the design of the ship looking like body parts, the clothes tossed on the ground would fit right in.

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

Yeah that makes sense! The Art direction and tone/vibes of this movie are truly insane!

[@victorsixtythree]

yeah...just off the top of my head there's the doorways that open and close like a sphincter, random wires and cords that hang from the ceiling like tendrils, the womb or egg like room where they communicate with "mother" and the fact that, in the escape pod in the end, the alien hides in plain sight by simply blending into the wall.

Ash seemed to know a lot about the alien so it was probably planned in advance, maybe by someone working for the company if not the company itself.

[@lewis7515]

The landing, in the best tradition of Gothic Horror, is truly cursed - which only makes sense after you've seen the film. If you do watch through it again carefully, you can notice how, Ash - who is monitoring aspects of the ships condition and performance - spends all his time soothingly calling out how everything is OK, and that peaks and levels are reducing - but you're gifted a shot of his point of view during that sequence and you can see that his monitor is telling him exactly the opposite: numbers are rising. He's, lying. The ship is, not, OK during that descent - its screaming out to them for them to, please, stop: but Ash cares about nothing, except to get them down on that rock, no matter what - to present all those dumb, fleshy, humans to whatever is waiting for them down there....... Beautiful film-making.

[@user-fg5zx4gz1z]

If you watch the sequel, Aliens, try to watch the Special Edition as it adds some extra scenes that flesh out Ripley's character and story. I would recommend that you stop there at the Alien franchise. Alien 3 is infamous for the film being ruined by studio interference and is only really something to watch for Alien fans who want to appreciate what could have been.

There was a persistent rumor that the actors were not aware what would happening in the chestburster scene. They were aware. After all, it's pretty hard to hide from them the big cutout in the table for someone to put a head through and the fake body with animatronics. The scene is also edited from at least two different takes (notice how the amount of blood on Kane's t-shirt changes illogically). However, they were surprised by the amount of blood and the presence of real animal guts being spewed out. In particular Veronica Cartwright, who by chance got blasted right in the face.

[@soultraveller5027]

hello peepers I thought I would mention, the chest bursting scene with ''Kane'' played by British actor john hurt, ridley scott kept this a secret from the rest of the cast, the ''reaction'' you witnessed was all real the look of horror and confusion was the reaction he wanted, the film was made in the uk, as was the squeal, the sets were full size, ( they had to, they was no CGI special effects good enough in 1979 plus miniature models etc) so they built , long corridors, rest areas, the cockpit, all built at the world famous shepperton studios england, as was all the star wars franchise squeals, indiana jones, superman, with the late (christopher reeves) batman, Tom cruise's mission impossible's and a whole lot more hollywood action blockbuster hits, made in the uk . The follow on squeal ''Aliens'' was directed by James Cameron 1986 not steven spielberg

[@nickparton5663]

Every reaction I see has someone repeating this myth. The actors knew what the scene would be, they even saw the puppet beforehand. What they didn't expect and what Scott planned for was how much blood would spray everywhere. Veronica Cartwright screamed because she was being blasted in the face with a high pressure jet of fake blood

[@soultraveller5027]

@nickparton5663 OK, let's look at the Myh bit. Yes the cast knew of the chest bursting scene was correct it was in the script weren't it lol, however, ridley Scott kept the details from the cast how the scene would be shown in that respect the cast was kept in the dark only himself and John hurt knew how it all would pan out. John had to get the prop it fitted and make sure it worked unfortunately , come the day of the shoot the ""prop"" malfunction exposing and ruining the whole setup and surprise riddly wanted . A re-shoot was required the element of surprise lost and the cast knowing what was coming in the end Ridley still managed to pull it off thanks to the cast there you go...... .......Ridley Scott in his talk through of the alien movie directors cut mentions the iconic alien chest bursting scene .

Great reaction, guys. A few years ago I was lucky enough to see Alien projected in 35mm at a film festival in Sydney. Nothing comes close to sitting in a dark theatre watching this movie... As you pointed out, the sound design is one of a kind, and the overall atmosphere, Jerry Goldsmith's iconic music...The constant whirring. The film print was also more shadowy and grainy than the bluray, so the ship's interiors looked extra fucking spooky lol.

The crew of the Nostromo were just like basic workers , They were totally not used to this type situation . So they did not have a protocol on how to handle such a situation .

[@LUCKO2022]

The answer is YES The company DID know of the beacon and what it entailed. They decoded the message and the Nostromo happened to be the next ship going back to Earth. So they replaced the science officer that came with them to Thedus to pick up the material they were tugging back to Earth and replaced it with Ash. Ash then rerouted the Nostromo to make sure it picks up the beacon and they investigate it. That way if they came across nothing, it would be no difference as they would not know Ash was a android. But they were pretty sure they were going to find something.

[@MartinBeerbom]

Composer Jerry Goldsmith's idea was making the first part even more hopeful, but the filmmakers toned it down. He composed a title track with a big lush romantic middle part, not unsimilar to what he composed for Star Trek around the same time, but they ended up not using it. They changed a lot of the music from what Goldsmith intended. In particular, they temp-tracked it with earlier scores of Goldsmith, something which Goldsmith never really liked anyway. In particular, they fell in love with a bit from his score for the movie Freud (came out in 1961 or so) which he really not approved of (after all, he composed this to be something else entirely), but it still ended up being used in the final version. Goldsmith was so angry about all this that he refused to release a soundtrack album with the recordings made for the movie. Instead, he got his friend Lionel Newman to re-record HIS arrangements, and released that on album. Only after Goldsmith's death, alternative score albums were released. There also was a Director's Cut DVD which offered the option to play the movie with Goldsmith's intended music (albeit without any other sound except the music).

[@MartinBeerbom]

It's also quite ironic that in both Star Trek and Alien, Goldsmith got replaced by James Horner for the sequel.

You have to see Aliens now. Its the Citizen Kane of the sci-fi / action / horror genre. But you have to see the Special Edition. The chest-burster in Aliens is far less awkward and silly. Theres no way you can call it "Cute." Sigourney Weaver and James Cameron turned Ripley into one of the greatest, strongest, most iconic female roles in film history. Its a real shame that Sigourney didnt win Best Actress for Aliens. She was nominated which is very rare for the sci-fi genre. Her Ellen Ripley is right up there with Sarah Connor in Camerons own Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind. There are no more movies worth watching in Ripleys saga after Aliens. If you want to see some crazy yet beautiful science-fiction set in this universe, you can watch Prometheus.

You guys have some good instincts. The alien does indeed take on some characteristics of the host it grew inside of. Ash called it Kane's son for good reason.

People always say that the technology onboard the NOSTROMO in ALIEN does not fit the future by pointing out there are CRT displays and what not. This was done on purpose. the NOSTROMO is basically a cargo hauler, and the crew are space truckers. Ridley Scott wanted everything in the ship to seem old and out of date. If you look closely, you can see duct tape on the bridge seats. The movie would not be as horrific and creepy if the Xenomorph were stalking and killing the crew on board the Starship Enterprise.

[@centurycountess4949]

omg so two fun facts. someone did a voice over clip of the chest popping scene with southpart character voices. i cant remember the full alters scene except the part where baby alien screeches and runs they dubbed it with cartman;s voice caling them all dildos and runs away. the second fun fact. the actor who got his chest popped replayed the character in a short scene in the film Space balls. when his chest pops in that film he's like oh god not again. faints and the alie puts on a hot hat and starts singing.

[@fernandof.2225]

ALIENS is a fine movie. The other 2 aliens might not be at the same level but they have things I like to watch when I watch the movies again.

[@soldiermedic45]

The company got the signal first and relayed it to mother(the ship). And Ashe being a robot he told them about kane and they informed him to bring the alien back

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

What was that milk stuff? Robot WD40?

[@soldiermedic45]

@@KennyandLindsayWatch the milk was what keeps him energized. We have blood they have fluid. I'm guessing. But I think it's a liquid that keeps him functioning

TBH, even when Alien was new we all thought the chestburster was kinda cute 🤷‍♂

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

lol awww

[@uncoolmartin460]

Glad you enjoyed this film 👍, I found it terrifying when I first watched it back in the day tbh. I particularly liked the scene where Brett was walking through the ship and the sound of the water falling on his hat made me feel like I was there and seeing things through Bretts eyes, I found it the most immersive scene of any film I watched. I'm glad you didn't watch the directors cut as although it fills the hole where Parker describes the Alien taking Brett, it also ruins the film by introducing certain (original) ideas that spoil Aliens. (Although I have heard a reasonable explanation for the idea.) I used to live next door to a carpenter who worked at the studio that worked on Alien and he showed me photographs of the Nostromo set during construction and I can say it is amazing at what they achieved. I recommend you watch Predator 1 & 2 before you watch the AVP movies, you'll feel better for it in the long run. While the films after Aliens are not as good as the first two they can still be watched, personally I enjoy Alien Resurrection a lot. Aliens is Sigourney's favourite film as it gives more detail into Ripleys background. Aliens Special\extended edition is worth watching (IMO) It is the film I would have liked to have seen at the cinema.

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

OMG those photographs sound amazing! What a treat that must have been. We def have Predator on the list! Lots have folks have recommended the special edition version of Aliens so will watch that for sure!! Thanks so much!

[@MsAppassionata]

@@KennyandLindsayWatch Don’t forget to watch the extended version of “Aliens” as the OP suggested. I, personally, would skip watching “Alien 3”. I absolutely HATED what they did at the beginning of that one. It certainly is up to you though. Btw - James Cameron directed “Aliens” and he doesn’t like “Alien 3” either. The original “Predator” is a good bet after that. At some point I think you should review the film which served as the outer space, science fiction grandaddy of all modern space movies: “2001: A Space Odyssey”. That film came out in 1968 and was directed by Stanley Kubrick. It’s a masterpiece.

Awesome reaction haha! You've gotta watch the sequel, Aliens, and the rest of the films in the franchise (and Predator as well!) Just wanted to talk about why they just watched the baby alien that burst from Kane's chest scurry away. Much like the facehugger, it bleeds acid! They don't wanna kill something that bloods acid! That confused me the first time I watched as well though haha - small and geeky detail lol.

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

ahhhh ok so it was leaving a trail of acid behind, that makes sense then lol

[@ApocalypticK9Art]

@KennyandLindsayWatch it wasn't leaving a trail of acid (the blood was Kane's!) but if they would've tried to stab or shoot it, it would have!

[@guitarman8462]

CGI didn't exist back then.

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

Really? I'm pretty sure it did, maybe not the same way we do now, but surely some effect. Thinking of the ship exploding for example. Either way this movie did a great job and we prefer practical effects anyways.

Yes I was 18 years old when I saw this movie as soon as it got to our little town theater. There were people screaming and running from the theater during the chest popping seen lol. And when Dallas turned around and the xenomorph did the jazz hands, popcorn and soda went everywhere in that theater lmao. Everybody was wet we were all terrified LOL oh my God it was really something. One of those cherished memories you never forget 🥲 Please react to the sequel _Aliens_ as it is just as good but way more of an action film. You will love it. I'll sub up and be a new subscriber if you guys promise to consider reacting to the movie _Life_ from 2017. You'll love it I'll bet 😊

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

I can't even IMAGINE this in the theatre!!! insane! We are def watching aliens!! We had never heard of Life, but just googled it and it def looks right up our alley! It's going on the list!

[@Otokichi786]

Two naive viewers are boarding the "Nostromo." What will they make of this "old, long, character-centered, no-DFX" movie? I saw "Alien" in the same ex-Cinerama theater that had shown "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) and "Star Wars" (1977). The TV and newspaper ads only said: "In space, no one can hear you scream." What kind of movie was this? It looked "Star Wars-y," but we were about to take a roller coaster to Hell. The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet! 11:11 The Space Jockey, a mystery for decades. 13:27 Kane = Zapp Brannigan. 14:35 How's that for a jump scare? 15:00 This conversation has become iconic due to recent events. 16:06 The Face Hugger, grossing out audiences for decades. 17:34 Acid Blood solved the "why don't they cut it off him?" question. 21:39 A Props dept. work of ART, made of sea animals. 23:58 Kane's last meal. 25:24 The Xenomorph, scaring audiences for over 40 years. 26:21 Burial at sea spares next-of-kin the gruesome details. 28:32 Along came Jones. 31:20 Say hello to Bolaji Badejo. 35:06 You're in command, Third Officer Ripley. 37:06 This was my "WTF? Ash iSN'T Human!?" moment. 38:51 Most didn't see this coming. 42:24 I've read that Lambert is standing in for us, the audience. 45:27 Escape route cut off, stop Destruct to gain time for plan B. 51:01 Tonight's entree on the shuttle "Narcissus" is Steamed Xenomorph in Shell. 51:52 Correction, Char-Broiled Xenomorph. This and the next movie made newcomer Sigourney Weaver a major movie star. Along with Linda Hamilton of "The Terminator" (1984), they became Action movie Badasses. "Jennifer Lawrence"? Who is that?

Vintage scifi movies are the best, and tbh i much prefer 80s movies version of the future than what we have now or compared to modern day movies set in the future Moden movie showing the future are usually sterile looking. I orefer to dark and grittiness of say alien and blade runner

The alien's tail doesn't stick you in the butt, it goes up to the upper back/base of the neck and stabs you. It can then hold you in place with its tail, while it does horrible things.

[@hendrsb33]

ALIEN is one of my all-time favorite movies, which is weird since I'm not at all a horror fan, though I am a sci-fi fan. I'd heard about the movie before it came out, featured in fan mags of the time and the weird Gigeresque art and the Ron Cobb conceptual design drew me in. There was no doubt I was going to see this even though I had to suffer through the suspense. I had to sit at the back of the theater near the lobby doors in case the intensity made me bolt. So, yeah, I understand having to watch a movie through your fingers (actually, I tend to cover my ears 'cause jump scares are loud)!😅 Apparently, an ALIEN tv series is being developed though I'm adopting a wait-and-see attitude toward it. I only like the first two movies of the ALIEN franchise but the rest leave lots to be desired. Even though I'm not a gamer, the ALIEN: ISOLATION game comes closest to capturing the feel of the original movie. Because of STAR WARS and ALIEN, I chose illustration as a career. Go figure.

[@KennyandLindsayWatch]

Wow great comment! Yeah we are also not horror fans but love scifi. The tone/design of everything in this movie is just top tier. Super jealous we were not around to see this or Star Wars in the theater when it first came out. So amazing that you are an illustrator!!

[@robertcartier5088]

The way to watch the Alien franchise: Watch the first two movies -- there ya go, you are done. However, if you like fan-fiction with a Hollywood budget, then you might enjoy the rest of the films. They can be a lot of fun. But it is important to remember that none of them are "essential". Enjoy! The Terminator franchise? See above.

H R Giger was the artist behind "the Alien" creature. It was inspired by nightmares that he would sketch out upon waking. Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. AND YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A MOVIE ? Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. REMEMBER THE SCENE WITH DALLAS SAYING "KILL ME"? 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
