Aliens (1986) REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@TRMala]

Tristan (after Ripley sets Newt down in the egg chamber): “She’s sacrificing Newt. Great idea” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@adamclifton29]

9:44 - funny how they notice Kyle Reese but fail to recognize Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton and Jenette Goldstein from Terminators 1 and 2

[@dustbunny1977]

@@adamclifton29 it's not Bill Pullman, it's Bill Paxton.

[@adamclifton29]

@dustbunny1977 my mistake lol. I meant Paxton lol I fixed it

[@FilthTribeFTP]

To be fair, Goldstein looked DRASTICALLY different in T2. Cameron made her look quite "Latino" in Aliens. But yeah, Beihn and Paxton should've been INSTANTLY recognizable

[@FilthTribeFTP]

​@@dustbunny1977 it should've been Bill Pullman, at least he'd be able to defeat the Aliens 😂

[@stevenmoules4955]

The directors cut of aliens is worth checking out as well!🙂

[@michaeljacyna1973]

What you didn't see in the theatrical version is that at the beginning Burke helps Ripley find out about her daughter. Ripleys daughter was about 10 when she left and you find out Ripleys daughter got old and died while she was away. This lays the foundation of why Ripley bonds with Newt and why she needs to protect her. Unfortunately this context is missing from this version.

[@MichaelBalchaitis]

"Lets Rock!"

[@TrentRushton]

The actor who played Hudson was also in Terminator, he was one of the three punks that Arnold killed at the beginning of the movie.

[@Shawnzy_Gabonzy]

Actor who played Bishop was also in Terminator, and Vasquez was in Terminator 2.

[@szabolcskovacs9536]

I was 9 years old when i watch this movie with my father in the cinema. And I loved every moment. 👍

[@therewasacrookedman5892]

The thing about when they first meet Newt, is she can’t exactly trust humans either, since she’s probably seen a few “chest bursters” also.

[@FilthTribeFTP]

That, or the fact that, it's very likely that every adult that tried to keep her safe during the siege, was eventually taken by an alien, so she ultimately decided she could keep herself much safer, alone... I think that's why when Ripley asked her if she thought she'd be safer with the Marines, Newt replied that it wouldn't make any difference...

[@snakeeyes5638]

🪖Got to see it at only 4 years old summer of July 1986. What a wild ride! And yes people went nuts when Ripley faced off with the Queen 🪖

[@alleyeditor]

Great story on how Cameron pitched Aliens to the Execs at 20th Century Fox. He walked into a room full of suits, there was a chalkboard behind him and he wrote Alien$ on the board. He had no script, treatment or story. Just from that chalkboard writing, they gave him a pile of money to make it.

[@kevinwilson140]

Vasquez is john Conners foster mom in terminator two. The line about illegal aliens is accurate she read the title and showed up dressed as a Mexican.

[@SIickTurtIe]

T2 as Foster mom and also in Titanic as the random low born irish lady with the daughter.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks to Sam and Tristan! 👾 This is my favorite one from the entire franchise. I very much appreciate the performance of Carrie Henn as 'Newt'. She's still active on the convention circuit; a teacher in regular life.

[@kmvoss]

I love Sam predicting Ripley's inclination to nuke the planet a good 15 minutes before it happens. "They'll come, eat him... Should give us enough time to get to the ship." lmao

[@AugustoStock-p2p]

James Cameron has a reputation for being an intense and demanding director with the actors who work with him! Sam Worthington commented that Cameron had a nail gun on the set of Avatar 2 and used it to place cell phones on the walls that rang during filming! The name of actor who played Kyle Reese in terminator and Dwayne Hicks in Aliens 2 is Michael Biehn ,a very underrated actor who deserved greater recognition.

[@jh5131]

Always bummed me out that Biehn never got bigger than he did he always had an amazing screen intensity in pretty much everything he was in

[@rowenatulley852]

The extended version (director's cut?) contains some important plot information that fleshes out Ripley's backstory and character even more . . .

[@ianhill8345]

Great reaction Sam and Tristan to my favourite Alien movie. Cameron blew it out of the park with this one, Alot of actors from terminator in it. So many memorable quotes in this movie Game Over Man Game Over, RIP Bill Paxton Big thumbs up

[@Pinkielover]

Bandana woman is actually john conner's stepmother from terminator two... That famous Phone call scene

[@timmi7986]

The actor that played Vazquez also played John Connors foster Mom in Terminator 2.

[@TRMala]

She was also the Irish mother in Titanic who read to her children in bed as the ship sank.

[@jimberjamber8540]

Obligatory fun fact: Sgt. Apone was actually a marine in Vietnam and was the first black man to be promoted to sergeant in the first marine division. Also him and the rest of the marines in this were the inspiration for the marines in Halo.

[@billthomas478]

[@johnnyX-me5ec]

Also Bishop was one of the detectives in Terminator and Hudson was one of the three punks that Arn'y stole his clothes right at the very start of Terminator "nice night for a walk". Makes sense with James Cameron being the director of Terminator and Aliens they have a few if the same actors. Merry Christmas everybody 👋 make sure you pack your electronic ball breakers and sharp sticks! Or just use harsh language on krampus if you meet him 😂

[@r.n.8337]

Lance Henriksen (Bishop) and Bill Paxton (Hudson) have the distinction of playing characters killed by the big three: an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator.

[@smlshin]

One of the greatest sci-fi, horror, action, sequel, and film in existence. James Cameron's masterpiece. To me, the Alien franchise ends here. After the first two, there's no where to go but down. Lol.

[@ajb7615]

Ripley can't crush or puncture the queen because the acid could splash her and/or melt through the ship's hull. ❤😊

[@desmawalker556]

Alien vs. Predator is another must watch. 👍😀

[@FilthTribeFTP]

I have seen this movie, no joke or exaggeration, EASILY over 1000 times in my lifetime (from age 7 to 35)... It is literally tied for 1st place (with 'The Thing [1982]') as my all time favorite movie, in ALL genres, and I am not kidding when i say that I can recite the entire dialogue from start to finish, as the movies plays... I never ONCE, questioned that the Xenomorph's secreted resin could possibly have something to do with the electromagnetic interference and is why it happened in both movies. So, when I say you kind of blew my mind for never thinking about this, I sincerely mean that! It might not even be the actual reason in these movies, but just the simple fact that you instantly thought of that on FIRST watch, kudos to you!

[@anguswilliam2141]

This and Predator for some reason, have great re-watch value.

[@ztomas1]

It's funny how Tristan always crosses his arms watching the movie

[@JohnnyMan316]

Bill Paxton almost stole this movie with his performance (as Hudson). Just hysterical, while completely believable role. "Why don't you put her in charge?!" LOL This movie put Sigourney Weaver firmly in the "bad a**" category imo. Aliens 2 is one of the best, if not the best, in the franchise for me.

[@Sentinel3D]

At the time on Oprah, They asked Newt, who in real life now is a math teacher I think, if she was afraid when the queen was reaching for her on the ship. She said no. It was just a person with a claw on the end of a broomstick.

[@UberDurable]

This movie is Perfection!

[@edwardfischer3944]

AT 8:44 . . . The Sergeant wanted a cigar when he first woke up. That was not even meant to be funny as part of the script. But, I saw this movie in 1986 and the entire audience did a big L O L when they saw the cigar.

[@Otokichi786]

"Aliens": Third Office Ripley has been found and taken to Gateway station with a Xenomorph-size case of PTSD. What will The Weyland-Yutani Suits make of her blowing up the "Nostromo"? 5:07 You are watching the theatrical version that I saw in 1986. 9:05 Actor Jenette Goldstein is/was a bodybuilder, so pull ups were no sweat for her. Fluent in Spanish, she went to casting as a Latina gang member. (The source of the "illegal alien" joke?) 11:33 Ripley shows Apone and Hicks that she isn't a front office paper shuffler like Burke, but a working class dog like themselves. 12:39 Experienced soldier will catch 40 winks whenever possible, because war is a 24 hour thing. 17:26 In 1986, I noticed that Ripley was able to "get close, quickly," to Rebecca, unlike the female Colonial Marines. A reviewer of the time said: "Sisterhood!" In 1990, I bought the Special Edition Laserdisc(!) and confirmed that Ripley had been a parent. 20:50 Vasquez has spare fire control modules so the squad still has fire support. 26:57 And Corporal Hicks agrees. 28:04 Ferro and Spunkmeyer's last flight. 34:06 The Manual of Arms. 35:40 How's THAT for a wake up call? 42:39 They went out like Klingon warriors. 45:29 The right tool for the job with Duck tape. 47:52 The egg chamber. 49:15 Let's negotiate. 49:55 War be declared. 53:51 Queen takes Bishop. 55:35 Battle cry! 58:14 Payoff. Do ya think there's gonna be a sequel? Find the Assembly Cut of "Alien3" (1997).

[@jimmyzee7040]

Hudson played by Bill Paxton was also in The Terminator in the beginning when Arnold killed those three guys

[@TrentRushton]

I wish they had something like drones, when checking out the hive, the soldiers could have investigated from a distance

[@billthomas478]

[@soul-i8i]

Great movie I see it alot

[@NPA1001]

“No way that Newt dies, no way”………. Yeah… about that…

[@dustbunny1977]

Most badass movie ever made!

[@redemption44]

Aliens VS predator is its own canon, so technically, it's in its own universe. Its pretty good, not nearly as good as these movies, but worth watching after you watch predator

[@WheresWaldo05]

If people count cartoons as cannon (example: clone wars for star wars), the AvP is 100% cannon as well. You cannot just pick and choose what is and what is not considered cannon. And i know you are not the arbitor of that knowledge. And AvP is better than Alien. So blah.

[@Pinkielover]

Amazing movie no cgi

[@drhacknslashzombietimelord6768]

You should have watched the director's cut of the movie. There is 18 minutes of footage added back in, with some really strong Ripley character moments, including one scene that was deleted that Sigourney Weaver was mad about because she based her entire relationship with Newt on that one scene. When you watch ALIEN 3, I highly recommend the assembly cut from 2003. It's actually closer to director David Fincher's original vision of the film it's roughly about 30 minutes longer than the theatrical cut, but well worth it.

[@Sentinel3D]

The Burke actor had an acclaimed series, called Mad About You, that ran for years. It was right up my alley, but I never watched it because I hated him so much his role in this movie.

[@Xfactor444-x4n]

Their are 3 actors in this movie that are also in Terminator 1 or 2. Hicks was Kyle Reese Vasquez was John Conner's foster mom and Hudson was "Punk leader" in the beginning of terminator 1. And go by the date of release for aliens, predator and terminator. If you go by the date of release between the movies predator and aliens you'll reach their encounter at the right time. Example, Meaning if aliens released a movie in 1990 and 1994 and predator released one in 1992. Watch aliens/predator/alien i hope that makes sense.

[@LukeLovesRose]

It's a shame that you chose not to watch the Special Edition. Its really the only way to watch Aliens now. Its arguably the greatest sci-fi monster movie ever made

[@souldrip2000]

I respectfully disagree. I feel the Special Edition is a demonstrably worse film than the Theatrical Cut. So you two made the right choice watching that version. The Theatrical Cut is cinematic perfection, with no fluff. Whereas the Special Edition has extra scenes that take away from the suspense + the mystery. (But all art is subject, I suppose.)

[@Smokie_666]

@@souldrip2000 Yes and no. The one thing the Special Edition adds is mentioning Ripley's daughter which adds to the main film in a couple ways. It adds impact to why Ripley is so visibly distraught when Van Leuwen says "60, 70 families" to her at the end of the inquest scene. He doesn't say people, he says families which echoes with Ripley and her own sense of family and loss. It also explains why she is so good with Newt and her interactions which is "rewarded" at the end when Newt calls her mommy.

[@RETNASCANZ]

On every Aliens reaction a few people in the comment section say to skip Alien 3 and 4. I always say watch them anyway(The director's cuts). Within the first 10 minutes you'll see one of the reasons why some people don't like Alien 3. I don't think they are as bad as some people say, and if you don't mind decent Sci Fi horror movies they are worth watching at least once.

[@daveb947]

At this point, the Marines have fought aliens. Just not the Xenomorph aliens.

[@Fernando-dt8je]

49:07 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@joek468]

Queen takes Bishop!

[@CrownlessKing88]

Darn it sucks that you didn’t watch the directors cut. There’s one scene in particular that changes the whole narrative just a bit to make it that much better. It’s revealed that she had a daughter. And she passed away within the 57 years she was floating in space. There’s also a great video game called Alien: Isolation, where you play as Amanda Ripley, her Daughter.

[@prexyyoutube]

Please watch all the franchise 🙌😩

[@coreypohlman8539]

This series is often cited for being awesome for different reasons between 1 and 2. The first one is kind of like a sci-fi horror/ slasher movie and the 2nd one is sci-fi action, AND its by 2 different directors which is pretty dope too imo. Just like terminator series, this series peaks in the first couple movies. 3 is ok not great and 4 is bad. Alien romulus came out recently and is the only worth while alien movie since Aliens. Not really a spoiler, but it takes place between Alien and Aliens. Personally, i think you should skip right to the first predator b/c its 80s-tastic action and you can watch aliens vs predator if you really want, but not necessary.

[@kshizzle_bizzle]

Hope you folks get to play Alien Isolation soon, its a fun game.

[@peterkoester7358]

...AND that was it! They never made any more Alien films! Trust me!

ANYWAY I HAVE A GREAT SUGGESTION OF WHAT MOVIE 2 WATCH, THE TITLE OF THIS AWESOME AND GR8 MOVIE IS SLEEPERS, IT STARS ROBERT DE NIRO, YOUNG BRAD PITT & MORE STARS, I DON'T WANNA SPOIL THE MOVIE, IT'S A COMBINATION OF COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, GOODWILL HUNTING, STAND BY ME & SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, IT'S A GR8 MOVIE THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABT, I'M SURE YOUR GONNA LOVE THE STORY OF THIS MOVIE, BEEN A FAN OF YOU BOTH FOR 2 YEARS NOW, I THINK, LESS THAN 2 YEARS, ADVANCE MERRY CHRISTMAS 2 YOU BOTH, KEEP SAFE AND HAPPY, ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS. GODBLESS YOU BOTH AND ALL YOUR FAMILY, ALWAYS.

[@rkw2917]

I did not enjoy the Alien franchise beyond this one (I know, controversial), but I really enjoyed the prequel Prometheus (again, I know, controversial)

[@LukeLovesRose]

I'm with you. I personally loathe Alien 3 but I really love Prometheus

[@enadegheeghaghe6369]

I just couldn't enjoy Promethieus because the myriad of bad decisions made by all the so called scientists took me out of the story. Who stretches out their hand to pet an wierd alien snake surrounded by unknown goo in an creepy ancient cave on an alien planet? Why would you take off your helmets to breathe in unknown pathogens in the alien air of said cave? Who explores an alien cave containing long dead alien creatures without any PPE? Why try to bring your infected and horribly mutated colleague back unto your ship? Where were these scientists trained? I don't expect scientists to be perfect but most of what they did made no sense at all. It turns out the hapless marines in the second movie were much smarter.

[@mikedignum1868]

There is a book that explains the missing 57 years...In space no one listens to Ripley.

[@johnnyX-me5ec]

If I were you I'd consider that the end of the story. The more recent movies Prometheus and covenant are goid movies but not patch on the original Alien and Aliens ( two of the best sci-fi horror films ever made ).

[@patrickdeporte289]

You guys are a great looking couple

[@redviper6805]

I actually met Carrie Henn (NEWT) last year at a sci-fi convention; days before Halloween. Wish I could share a picture. Got her autograph on my Aliens DVD. Aliens was her only movie. I was amazed that Bishop remained useful after ripped in half, unlike a certain gold droid in Empire Strikes Back. The actor who played him didn’t know how to read until he was 30 years old! I was ecstatic when the movie was mentioned in an Avengers film and the basis for a rescue plan! They even did a camera shot that was reminiscent of it. Wish you had watched the Special Edition of Aliens. Got to see Newt’s family before the colony was destroyed. Do NOT bother with the remaining sequels. HUGE disappointments. Normally don’t bother with audio commentaries but I enjoyed the one with the director and cast.

[@Timmah73]

So as far as direct Alien sequals go, 3 and 4 (Alien Resurecton) are pretty bad. People will defend them but a lot of fans disavow them as even being part of the Alien/Aliens story. The more modern prequels of Promethus and Covenent are also not great movies featuring some of the dumbest characters you will ever see die because they are dumb. BUT at long last this year we got Alien: Romulus the first good Alien movie since Aliens. It takes place between Alien/Aliens and is 100% worth watching. If you have seen Alien and Aliens, you are caught up enough to watch Romulus.

[@kevinwilson140]

I know "they mostly come at night" is an iconic line but it makes zero sense. The rotation period of lv 426 is 2 hours so they showed up every other hour?
