It's been 20 years since Ripley (albeit her clone) faced off against her dreaded alien nemesis in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's ALIEN RESURRECTION. To commemorate this anniversary we present various test footage of the alien warrior suit, both in water and on dry land, and in various stages of completion.

The water test was much better than the CGI they used in the film.

[@cpl.barbarusc4814]

Although It is true for the most part, the problem was when they tested It on the set that was completely submerged because poor Tom Woodruff couldn't see or breath properly inside the suit. Yeah, the CG was distracting but It was that or drown poor Tom.

[@joeyp9524]

I’ve always liked the resurrection design of the xenomoroph, it was very sleek and I liked the constantly wet look they went with

[@joaquinumpierrez9940]

by the way...why those bastards are always wet?? their bodies are like that by nature??? I mean, I understand they are aliens but....

[@hntr-j2323]

Defo not 'sleek'. Looks like a man in a suit 'cuz Tom is quite short and the mould is rubbery, nothing like the shadowy, tall original from '79

[@johnnygallagher5718]

@@hntr-j2323 You this design was used for the Xenomorphs in AVP 2004?

[@brandonspain12345]

@@hntr-j2323 Well we can't act like the original was all perfect either. Especially when it leaps out with it's arm in the air. It's so cheesy. I can see why it wasn't shown until the director's cut.

[@hntr-j2323]

@@brandonspain12345 well, I mean, there are definitely one or two imperfect shots of the creature in the first. But it’s disappointing they strayed from the template the original film set in the sequels, which was removing the biomechanical elements and not getting a bloke who is nearly 7 ft, like Bolaji Badejo, play the Alien. If you look at all the behind-the-scenes stuff from Alien, it is pure artistry. All I’m saying is the Alien got shorter and noticeably more rubbery as the films went on, & subsequently got less and less nightmarish.

[@uncannyvalley2350]

These and the AVP designs were the best realised for the xenomorph, slick, black, simple

[@JohnAlanSlavin]

I watched Resurrection yesterday and I was really impressed by the effects. It stands up well today, many late 90s movies don't. Great work.

[@stoneryoda9377]

John Slavin you mean the practical effects( creature design set design ) or digital.? I'd say some of the CG stands up fairly well One thing I can never decide is if I like the design of the Aliens , the heads seem to short & the ribcage doesn't extend as far as the Original , The first time we ever saw the Xenomorph's inner jaw & it'd fully grown form just puts the fear of god in me , they way its shaking with anticipation of its first kill as a fully grown creature just chills me , no other Xenomorph has put that fear into me , not even the queen , she is spectacular , but she can't blend in like a regular Xenomorph & she is somewhat vulnerable with her eggsack The New Born .............. I dont like it , BUT I give them applause for making something new & different although I would have preferred to see the version of the "NewBorn" that looked like a mashup of Ripley & a Queen , that could have bought giger back in to design it , but they thought they would be copying SIL from species

[@npcimknot958]

@@stoneryoda9377 other than rendering and lighting a lot of old movies cgi has really good animation compared so some stuff now.

Didnt age well Though usually it's more the exec's than the effects guys who make those calls

[@vadamsable]

I love that there's a real monster there acting instead of that CGI crap. The actor in that suit has to be just as invested. They put him through the ropes. The movements are choreographed to the 9's. It looks so authentic.

[@suprevadak]

ermmmmm it's a costume? monsters aren't real

[@yahzeeskellington7034]

...wow. I effing love this design! Tom's movement inside the suit really brings it to life and awesome, sexy and creepy way

[@Nightmaroid]

This comment.

[@CabezasDePescado]

they looked great in the movie, specially for the time, the effects were flawess

[@multiverseoftimelessness4391]

Love the video. Thank you for posting it. We need more Resurrection videos. It's amazing to me how much work is put into the creation of one suit. This is my favorite Alien Warrior. And you deserve all the praise on THIS design. Love the water sequences and how the tail seems to come alive. Fantastic work.

[@BUGHUNTER6]

Wow, I love it! Thanks so much for showing these videos, it's so interesting. Huge fan of the work you did for Resurrection.

[@Clases3d]

that tail is ALIVE! amazing work guys

Love the design of the xenomorphs for this film.

[@jc0044]

they lose that Biomechanical style of the original xenomorph, but they are still intimidating.

[@Hollywoodvampire]

Those wicked motions he's doing in that suit would have served that movie more giving the aliens some character.

[@ZombiesOutbreak115]

the scene with them in the chamber and where they get gassed is probably my favorite scene of the whole series!

Beautiful. Moving art.

[@lo-siento-wilson]

why aren't they using similar suits and animatronics to make Godzilla movies. Come on, it would be interesting to see a Godzilla movie with modern day practical effects. I can totally see 1998 godzilla made with a suit like this

[@JD-Media]

The use of pratical effects in the modern movie studio system is dying out.

[@DarksaberForce]

Actually 1998 Godzilla had a suit actor in some scenes. I believe his name is Kurt Warner.

"I'm laughing Jordu" - as in, Jordu Schell? I didn't know he worked on this until now! Ever since I saw him on TV, probably on Making Monsters or Face-Off, I've seen his name pop up all over the place in terms of practical effects monsters and prosthetics. An absolute legend. I didn't like the movie all that much, but I love seeing all the careful artistry and engineering that went into creating it.

I don't mind if some movie is better ir worst, xenomorphs are xenomorphs and they look as menacing as the first one in Ridley Scott's Alien. I said xenomorph, not neomorph or protomorph or that new born human like morph, I said xenomorph, you know what I mean. 😉

All of these actors for xnos and preds get all the movements wrong. They make it look so robotic more cosplay than how real creatures would move. They spend too much time flexing than fighting or moving.

[@rambdabamb4104]

WORSTXB1PLAYER Tyler Tee H C why u hating on a teen xeno brah? He is growing up... geez. Lmao 🤣 nah but yeah I get you, still a sick ass suit but that’s one of the reasons why they added the hind legs as a post cgi effect too. Which I think was very cool. I like my xenos in all kinds of ways but I’ll admit the hind legs give em an extra touch of monster and creep and over all high if it was really that tall standing in front of you.
