So, Paul Reiser told a great story on The Tonight Show back when he was promoting this movie. He told the story about how he took his mother to the premier. Before going into the theater, he was worried she would get upset if she saw him die on screen, so he told her ahead of time about Burke's fate. She told him she'd be fine. During the movie, he could see the tension building in his mom, so he leaned on to remind her that Burke dies. She answers that she's fine. Finally, the scene comes. The alien pops out and Burke is trapped. The entire theater erupts in cheers. He turns to console his mom...only to find she's standing up cheering too.

She's talkative so the video isn't just a passive person staring at a screen off-screen but she doesn't talk over important moments or lines so she doesn't miss important details.

As far as Newt's accent, the actress Carrie Henn was born in Panama City, Florida to an American dad and English mom, but moved to England when she was two. So her accent was a strange mixture of southern US and English. It was the only movie she did, actually. Her family moved back to the US and she ended up becoming a schoolteacher and having her own family. She still keeps in touch with Sigourney Weaver.

The Sarah Connor transformation from the first movie was insane. She was ready for the end of the world and you could see it. Ripley was just mama bear. The parental instincts kick in to protect kids. I like the theatrical better and people sorta cheaping those kinda actions just make me like the theatrical a bit more. They always trying to connect Newt as a replacement kid to the one who died while she was in cryosleep. The old promise with the new promise too. Instead of it all just being a thing people do on the battlefield. Also the ugly investigation vehicle and autoguns aren't as aesthetically pleasing as the rest of the gear as far as sci fi taste go.

The woman playing Vasquez is a good friend of James Cameron. She played John Connor's foster mother in "Terminator 2" and the Irish woman reading the kids a bedtime story when she knew her and the kids would not be saved in "Titanic". Hudson is Bill Paxton...the only actor whose characters have been killed by an Alien (Xenomorph), a Terminator (First film) and a Predator (part 2). Hicks has also been in several James Cameron films, this one, "Terminator" (Kyle Reese) as well as part 2 (Special Edition) and "The Abyss".

You actually know what Burke's fate was because there's a deleted scene (And it's also in the novelization) that during Ripley's search for Newt, she runs into a cocooned Burke saying that he can feel the alien inside, that he was in pain. Ripley pops a hand grenade and puts it in his hands. When Ripley find's Newt's tracker, there's an explosion that indicates that Burke is now dead. KZbin has the deleted scene.

Gorman is such a tragic story arc. You really don't like him at all and even get to the point of hating him. However, he redeems himself and shows that deep down inside he probably isn't a bad guy, he just was put in a bad position probably because the corporation knew he'd be easy to manipulate. And that scene with he and Vasquez clutching that charge as hard as they can to make sure they die quickly is powerful. And Vasquez is mad that he came back for her. He did not have to do that and now he will die with her.

One of the best action sci-fi movie ever, even nearly 40 years later it hold its own because the practical effects were perfectly filmed. All the characters have something that makes em unique, Carrie Henn in her first and only movie role as Newt was a great character, Hicks sense of duty and leadership, Hudson cockiness/cowardiness, Vasquez being a badass, Gorman redeeming himself, Burke being the perfect representation of a corpo weasel... even the secondary character, I mean, one of my favorite scenes is when they're retreating from the hive, and Drake covers everyone, he essentially 'sacrificed' himself so that the others could live... Ripley ? She isn't badass cause of her brawn, but because of her smarts, her craftiness and her courage, she just finds a way to stay level-headed in front of danger. She should have been a model for the empowerment of women, at least I hope she was for many, cause strength of character should come above pretty much everything, and she's strong as fuck. Love your reactions, you are so genuine it's crazy. Thanks for making me re-live that masterpiece !
@chrismaverick9828 Жыл бұрын
This was one of the better movies from the 80's wherein a woman plays a strong leadership part. Ripley never falters in the face of failure. Even Hicks pulling her back up after Newt gets captured is simply an expedient to the realization she was going to make in a moment more. She wasn't second in command of the Nostromo for nothing. You EARN a captain's license by being proficient. You BECOME a captain by making the right decisions and leading your crew in adversity. Weaver was a perfect choice for Alien, and she never let the character itself fail through her own efforts. The writing for -3 might have let us down, but she didn't.

The actor playing Pvt.

Bill Paxton (Pvt. Hudson) was one of the punks killed at the beginning of James Cameron's The Terminator, the treasure hunter in Titanic, nasty older brother in Weird Science, and the male lead in Twister. Michael Biehn (Cpl. Hicks) was Kyle Reese in The Terminator & Terminator 2, and a bad guy in James Cameron's The Abyss. Good catch on the guy from The Shawshank Redemption!

4:22 Here's the thing at this point in the future where humanity goes off exploring the other star systems of the galaxy, we really just don't know what's out there, and for exploration it takes a certain type of person who has an open mind, perhaps open to a fault, and is not afraid to take risks. The hard truth is that people out there are going to die because of some unknown thing they ran into for which we have no way to prepare in advance. They're not going to have someone who's Earthbound watching and saying "Hell no, that doesn't feel right, you shouldn't go in there or open that or whatever else might expose you to some unknown like that!". They have to take the risk, and sometimes that risk is going to be enormous and we won't know it until after the fact. That's how the Nostromo ended up on that planetoid, and that's what drove those wildcatters out there to the Ilium range. Exploration, discovery.

A reviewer of the time said: "Sisterhood!" That was too flip, and when I bought the SE Laserdisc, much was revealed. 16:54 Disarming the troops heading into a hot zone always bothered me. 19:48 Ripley is all about The Team. 22:17 The "nose art" on the Drop Ship says: "Colonial marines: We Endanger Species!." 31:35 They went out like Klingon warriors! 33:20 The Right tools for the job with Duck tape. 33:26 The studio Suits cut this scene!? 34:41 Egg chamber. 35:29 Let's negotiate. 38:07 It's not over. 41:20 If you listen carefully after the credit crawl, you will hear "a squishy sound" moving from left to right.

There are a couple moments during the final battle where they had to use dolls on a model set instead of practical effects. Now that I've been shown it I can't unsee the moments, but thankfully its quick enough it doesn't take away from the tension.

Al Matthews, who plays Apone, was in real life a Marine sergeant during the Vietnam War. He was notably the first black Marine during that war to be meritoriously promoted to sergeant.

33:15 - The scene where Dallas is being transformed into an egg was cut from the theatrical version of Alien, and was only included in the Director's Cut about fifteen years after this film released. When Cameron made this one being cocooned just kept you prisoner until a facehugger got you.

I thought that too. But, truth be told, you could still justify it. They weren't turning the colonists into cocoons because the queen was already there, laying eggs through parthenogenesis, but it's quite possible that if the queen wasn't there or there weren't any eggs/facehuggers for whatever reason, the human prey could have been cocooned to form an egg. So if you trace it back, the mostly likely scenario was that Newt's Dad was implanted with a Queen, who escaped from the medlab and set up shop, growing her ovipositor and responsible for the main thrust of the infestation.

You watched the extended cut of this movie. What was so good about the theatrical cut is that you really didn't need to see the first one to enjoy this one. When this came out in theaters I went to go see it WITHOUT see Alien. I enjoyed this a lot without needing a ton of backstory. I didn't know who Ripley was or that she had a daughter or why she was in that escape ship from the first movie. I just knew what I needed as the movie progressed.

Burke is Paul Reisner. At the time he was a somewhat popular comedian on the rise. He later got a sitcom called Mad About You that was a big hit. Hudson is Bill Paxton who just died about a few years ago. Probably the biggest star from this movie. Vazquez is played by the same woman that played the step mom in Terminator two. Surprisingly she is Jewish. The robot dude is the same guy who played the Phycologists in Terminator 1. Hicks, played Reese in Terminator 1 and Johnny Ringo in Tombstone.

That "me too", at around 28:50, is what cemented this as THE action film for me. She's scared as Newt is, as the marines are. I've watched action protagonists and I've enjoyed action flicks, but this is the best for me. Hands down, no holds barred, whatever is the idiom, fookin' hell it's a great movie.
