Alien (1979) - Part 1 : The Signal | Restored Edition, revision 2

[@RSTI191]

I saw this in Boston when it came out in 79. The Charles: old school opera, red velvet - everything, majestic opera seating theater, It was perfect for it. When it was over, everyone filed out, nobody was saying a word. Everyone was fucking stunned by what they just witnessed. I'll never forget it..

[@jonny-dn]

Similar experience - 1950's style cinema in Leeds UK. Same stunned silence as everyone was leaving. I remember my stomach muscles actually hurt from the 30 mins of pure adrenaline in that last reel. It's stayed with me. One of the greatest movies of all time.

[@robertwener4561]

Me too. Old school opera house movie theatre called The York in Montreal. After the chest burster scene, everyone erupted it in deliriously nervous applause.

Thoroughly enjoying this restored edition. Keep up the good work 🍿

[@jooei2810]

The greatest haunted house in space!

[@williambell4591]

ABSOLUTE PROPS for having this up on KZbin! I don't why they never released all of these additional scenes on bluray! It is SO NICE seeing all this additional footage! The cutting room is man's WORST INVENTUON!

[@wesleyhalpern184]

Most of the deleted or edited scenes were done so for good reason with this film. They diluted the creepy horror aspect of the movie. I fist saw this when I was about 5 years old around 1984 scared the crap out of me😅

[@FrancesPye]

The final cut was perfect. These scenes were deleted for very good reaaon although still interesting to know about.

[@michaelredmond8083]

Loved the original audio on the signal. Never seen that quick shot of Lambert sitting up in the pod. Awesome

[@stevenwright8388]

I was 8 when my mate took to the cinema to watch this (she was the projectionits). I couldn't go upstairs and had to have the light on in bed; my first angling trip when I passed my test in 1989 comprised fishing into dark on my own. A breeze got up and a tree creaked....IT ALL CAME BACK!

[@theresamaleady7721]

[@critical_thinker73]

Still love that haunting backdrop music.

[@billthomas8994]

Great movie. Saw when released in 1979. The first sci fi movie to explore the grungy realism of commercial life in space. Really liked the eerie descriptor of the alien warning signal in the novel

[@petertorvik8413]

i enjoyed the conspicuous reebok product placement shot

[@floriandevuyst]

Best movie ever

[@mattresbert]

Can't tell you how many times I've watched this film and not noticed that there's two dipping birds. I've always just remembered one..

[@the_lost_navigator]

and if everyone is in stasis - who rocked the bird?

[@pumpkinhold]

I wonder if this was a different shot, because I thought it was just one as well. And not ones with little flat peg legs. I always though the dipping bird (or birds) would have been a great collectible. The real one from the movie is likely worth a few dollars.

[@williamyoung369]

So ..... i dont get it people,, i try to upload this movie in parts on youtube in the past,,,, and it was IM-PO-SI-BLE to reproduce (copy-rights claims) 20century Fox, Sound-band claims, and Disney Claims ....whats the deal now???

[@KruceroKory]

I prefer the original ominous ringing sound over the typical and overused tape flutter effect on the signal.

[@brmoogma]

agree

[@honkeykong9563]

A number of lame revisionists uploads of 6:15 have fooled people by adding audio that was never in the cut. But 6:15 IS the real audio as it was arranged on former Blu Ray editions of A L I E N.

[@reading_MOVIES]

This is the version I think is in my deleted scenes Alien DVD from early millennium. The sound is different in the Quadrilogy directors cut. I recently saw a "restored" version on KZbin using the alarm sound used throughout the original theatrical trailer - which viewers now wrongly believe to be the proper transmission...

[@honkeykong9563]

[@OLDCHEMIST1]

Excellent! I saw the original at a cinema in 1979, and it didn't look anything like as good as this!

Now THAT'S the alien signal that sent chills through me when I first heard it in the "Extras" part of the first DVD release. Not the toned down one in the "Director's Cut" release.

[@karakas771]

You forgot to add a logo/label on top right-hand corner:)

[@treadstone1138]

I've heard that the original "sound" used for the signal was different than the one that Ridley chose to include on his Directors Cut and that the original was far creepier but idk. Never heard it.

[@juandeleon1975]

your heard it right.... this sounds is creepier 6:16

[@cmillerg6306]

Sounds like the audio of the "warning" was created by vocoder-like narrowband filtering of possibly normal speech.

[@MrMalvolio29]

I hate this edit……Ruins the long, slow, nerve-wracking build-up that builds tension and establishes character. The original is one of my favourite films.

6:22 If you are a 70s kid in the UK your parents might have had those tupperware cups. I did but was a year too late to save it from my mum throwing them out before i realised the prop masters used them for Alien. 😕

[@sci-fyguy7767]

I’m a 70’s kid in America & we had those tupperware cups too. Also, the pen that Dallas takes from Brets pocket to touch the acid was an erasermate 2. It was a pen that was designed to erase ink. They were really popular when I was in 6th grade which was 1979 for me.

Jumpy as hell. Ruins the slow creepy revival of the ship and crew. It also destroys the organic introduction of the characters and the growing tension between them.

why didn't the last 3 survivors decide to escape in that small ship they use to go down to the planet,they decided to use that small escape pod that only takes 3. this ship here could take 4 or more, it could take the whole crew as it shows here.

[@allsortofmovies]

Do you mean the Nostromo ship? ..the crew landed on the planetoid with it. Alien and all events were aboard the Nostromo. Blowing up the Nostromo and escaping on the Narcissus shuttle was a way for the crew to defeat the Alien
