57 years after Ellen Ripley had a close encounter with the reptilian alien creature from the first movie, she is called back, this time, to help a group of highly trained colonial marines fight off against the sinister extraterrestrials. But this time, the aliens have taken over a space colony on the moon LV-426. When the colonial marines are called upon to search the deserted space colony, they later find out that they are up against more than what they bargained for. Using specially modified machine guns and enough firepower, it's either fight or die as the space marines battle against the aliens. As the Marines do their best to defend themselves, Ripley must attempt to protect a young girl who is the sole survivor of the nearly wiped out space colony.

The subtitles are in the Dutch language of the Netherlands/Belgium. Subtitles are added separately for the next film. That was no longer the case with Aliens. Aliens was already completely done. Starting over takes a lot of time, energy and money.

[@Paralyzer]

Always as Funny how the aliens were able to punch through a reinforced steel door ,😅😅😅 but it adds to the suspense

[@warrenc1829]

Love the fact that Gorman goes out a hero and refuses to leave Vázquez behind...

[@RoguePatience]

Even though he wasn’t much of a commanding officer, he redeems himself as a man by going out honorably.

[@aceace5867]

Me too, it shows more than just text book characters, he might not be a great leader now but he was new-ish to actual combat readiness... he would have made a good leader. He was brave at the end... Hail Gorman!!!

[@supergirlll]

Yes! I loved that part as well.

[@laraschauble]

I cried when those 2 died together....😢😢

[@AMD1]

He was not a fearless leader but is a fearless soldier

[@galexymitzelplik9560]

Pvt vasquez was able to engage in hand to hand combat and kill a xenomorph with a pistol. Probably the only human to ever accomplish that.

[@jainee4507]

They got a bit cheeky there, from what we understand up until now the Xenomorpths were vastly stronger than the humans. Its unlikely that someone ( a woman of all people) could hold one down like that, but whatever its a badass moment so lets just enjoy it.

[@losleon937]

​@jainee4507 well to be fair the Alien was getting shot at point blank range, (while falling) In a very cramped area the Alien could not use its superior size and strength. By the time Vasquez pinned its head with foot (using mostly leverage) it was pretty hurt, possibly already dieing. One might even argue that her smaller size Gave her an advantage in that situation.

[@teremin]

@@jainee4507It's called leverage. She stomped it's head against the wall as it was off-balance, while her own body was solidly wedged between the opposing wall and the xeno. Not strength, just physics. Not to mention that she blasted it before it could effectively push back.

[@jainee4507]

@@teremin Fair point. The Alien still got her in the end though with the acid. It was really just a half victory for Vasquez.

[@christianethic]

@@jainee4507 Not really, she ended the engagement on her terms and destroyed the airduct preventing any further pursuit. I think they call that a Phyrric victory.

[@mitchphillip7741]

I wholeheartedly agree!

[@deltazulu2848]

IMO top 5

[@decimated550]

Definitely right. It's is one of the best noble death scenes and ranks right up there with Gary busey in the firm when he tells the thug that Julio Iglesias was asking about dead lawyers. Another great last stand is Charles Dutton In the other aliens movie, another one is Bruce Lee in Chinese connection when he does the jump kick into the waiting police firing line, another is the final moment of the battle in the movie Glory when they're all standing there around the flag, another is in Johnny mnemonic when Henry Rollins fights Dolph lundgren's bad guy and his death is implied

[@pandaberserk3390]

i remember one last stand where the guy starts out with rifle, then pistol, then knife to barehanded combat. i don't know the name of the movie it had zombies ,might of been a cutscene for a video game.

[@marcoelhodev]

The way I see, Vasquez saying "You were always an asshole, Gorman" is her way of saying "I used to hate you. Not anymore, you're one of us now". Also, him coming back for her, and him helping to save Ripley and Newt is a sign of a true marine.

Gorman might of been a asshole, but he wasn't a bad guy. He was just green to combat and was arrogant. By when shit got real he went out like a badass trying to save Vasquez. He definitely was more of a man than Burke.

[@fullshred7595]

I loved this scene. How Gorman after running out of ammo and ditching his sidearm starts looking back and forth, grenade in hand almost like he's thinking "yeah motherfuck, I've got some shit for you right fucking here!!!"

Gorman was green but was trying yeah. Burke on the other hand was feces with flies on it. Hudson was right, should have shot his ass.

[@NoriMori1992]

Not hard to be more of a man than Burke.

[@fabmax41]

Fun fact, they had an extra pulse rifle, but they decided to give it to Ripley instead of Gorman :D

[@ovskii96]

This scene really shows that Gorman wasn't a bad guy or a coward. He just couldn't handle the pressure of leadership. The company picked him because of his inexperience.

[@matthewsstephens5945]

Yeah he redeemed himself, went back to get a downed Marine, they died together taking out a shit ton of enemies. Just like a USMC would go out in combat!

[@DoctorFurioso]

Unless you read the film as "the company knew what they were doing *the whole time(!)*," which I don't, it's more like he put on duty as a CO for what was supposed to be checking up on a broken transmitter and it turned out to be a literal alien invasion. He was in way over his head.

[@reecejohnson488]

Vasquez handled the retreat single handed from the time Hudson is dragged under in the skirmish. That’s badass

[@PaoloLery]

100%! Whatever you’re gonna do do it fast

[@jainee4507]

She was the MVP, they wouldnt have made it out without her.

[@M1tjakaramazov]

She was the best soldier in the squad. Protecting their retreat until the very end.

[@SoldierOfFate]

@@reecejohnson488 Drake did too. He fought to the very end and ensured all his squadmates were in the APC before him.

Vasquez pinning the alien against the wall and blasting it in the head with a .45 has to be one of my favorite scenes! This movie was so great! I was 16 when it came and I went and saw it at least 4 times. I'm 53 now and it is still one of the greatest sci-fi actions movies of all time.

[@spencerkeegan3826]

I totally agree. Let's not forget Predator as well though....

[@badouplus1304]

Vasquez was such a badass, they are not able to make strong character like that anymore.

[@TrueLegateDamar]

Funny enough the actress couldn't do it herself in a convincing manner, so they had to have Gale Anne Hurd who was the producer to do it.

[@SoldierOfFate]

Xenomorphs weigh at least 300 pounds on average. And Vasquez just KICKS IT AGAINST THE WALL. 'Nuff said!

[@heytheremclovin]

Hands and pants👖 down yes.😅❤

[@nomaambundy9989]

What a kickass scene. The officer that had lost his senses earlier finds his courage and returns to drag an injured Vasquez to safety only to be blocked by sure torture and death in the form of the Aliens. All of the friction between the troops and their commander prior to this scene is rectified when Goerman uncaps a grenade while Vasquez lies injured in his lap. Goerman looks almost shocked at his own instantaneous and brave decision to end both of the lives as he holds the grenade before him, unsure. Vasquez seizes his hand in hers and pulls the explosive closer, giving the appearance of an embrace... Altogether, one of my favorite movie scenes ever. Vasquez, since the moment she appears in this movie, is portrayed as a hard woman, a warrior, Yet this final act is very intimate. Masterfully shot scene, it moves me to tears every time I see it, and I find their mutual end sad, yet very satisfying.

[@johannesk1855]

The way Gorman slaps Hicks and shouts GO!! and just takes off to make sure there is no argument is so badass. Gorman redeemed him self many times after that initial failure.

[@wiskyop466]

The engament in hand to hand combat between vasquez and the aliens is so convincing ... how the right time and the right move vasquez got the advantage and able to kill it. Even she is smaller and weaker than her oponent. Vasquez is a hard core marine 🫡🫡🫡

Gorman and Vasquez deserved to survive this part, but is it just me who noticed that Vasquez started to cry at the last second she died with Gorman ??

[@Defender78]

Burke gets his Fate that was coming to him, after he did his lying and sabotaging of the mission, but at least he did rise to the occasion in one moment, when the APC was on fire he was the first dude to grab the extinguisher and put out the flames, so at least in that moment he was boss and he did what he had to do and he saved lives on that armored Carrier, But apart from that he was a weasely corporate thug

Saving Drake, Hicks, Hudson, Vasquez, Ripley herself, Bishop ( still an android, does he counts ?? ) Gorman, and Burke himself... But Burke probably kept in mind that his own life was on the line, especially without the Marines.... All in all, Burke didn't helped anyone, he was only trying to save his own skin and he needed the Marines too much in case something went wrong...

Epic scene of an epic movie

[@psbates]

I was Today Years Old when I noticed Sigourney Weaver's trigger discipline. A+!

[@kristopherryanwatson]

Damn. I forgot how defiant they were here as they made their retreat. Vasquez took down a Xenomorph with a pistol as it literally landed on top of her. She was a god damn badass until the very end. let's not overlook Hudson here too. He may have had poor judgement in leading the team in the beginning when they first entered the base, but his final sacrifice reprieved himself by doing what he could so Reply, Hicks and Newt could survive. Aliens is a freaking masterpiece, i love this movie so much. one of the finest sequels in sci-fi history. if you have the chance to see the 4K version, please do so. brings a whole new vision of this classic to life.

Vasquez ✊

[@warofnoise5394]

I think Gorman's character arc goes mostly unnoticed but I like how he found his confidence and strength as a subordinate and not as a leader as he'd obviously failed at that. Not all men are meant to be leaders and that's okay. He went out like a badass.

[@jermainehaslam5634]

Gorman killing himself to spare him and vasquez from a worser fate is the best part of the film and that's saying something because there's so many great moments in this classic.

[@OtomoTenzi]

Definitely one of the most BADASS Latinas to ever go down in movie history... She was SO strong, fearless, and brave! 💪 It was Vasquez's smart thinking (by retaining ammo in the furnace zone) that ultimately SAVED many lives in the group. But it was also her brash, overconfident actions that costed one of her teamate's lives (Pvt. Drake) and led to her own demise. Can't really blame her cuz she was doing whatever she possibly can to help the others escape. This is the kinda courageous woman that I would trust with my LIFE. Had she paid more attention to Ripley's briefing earlier in the movie, she probably would've understood how to deal with the Xenomorphs better, and possibly could've escaped with the others at the end. 😞

[@gatopan2558]

That moment when you realized that vasquez killed more xenos than an average predator

[@andygkiom]

One of the most iconic movie deaths, Vasquez was a badass to the end. Great character.

[@M1tjakaramazov]

Vasquez is the only human in history that's gone hand to hand with an Alien and won. With anyone else, once the xenomorph is on you, you're dead, end of story. Granted she had a sidearm, but that barely counts for more than a knife in that situation. That makes her the absolutely baddest motherfucker in the franchise.

[@TheWPhilosopher]

Didn't she also punch the damn thing?

[@PungiFungi]

Did she won, a rather Pyrrhic victory as it ultimately cost her her life thanks to the blood.

[@manolios]

those kind of scenes in sci-fi thrillers are rarely achieved in Cinema. Not even today's new age, freakin , GenZ hollywood can achieve this, with all the high-tech in the world.

[@moviesandpopcorn2958]

That's true. With all the technology they all use these days. the movies got worse. Than before with less technology. I don't get 10 new movies a year anymore that I can say are worth buying.

[@mattlofty5884]

Damn right

[@LadyElaisha]

Thank CGI crap taking over but they won't ever beat Practical Effects and such which is and always will be 1000 times better than any CGI made movie, well unless it's Animated Movie like Resident Evil Degeneration.

[@manolios]

@@LadyElaisha Not only the quality and unrealistic nature of the CGI is that crap, but also , even with this sh1t, those guys making it are unpaid due to production companies nature

That shit need to me the USMC recruitment commercial

[@sigma_orionis4207]

Vasquez = BADASS

[@moviesandpopcorn2958]

with very big twins. 😂 Which I am impressed is that she was very strong. At that time to carry the smartgun. Because she's small. 1.60m /5.2 feet.

[@MitchellFace]

Gorman’s arc might be small, but it’s great. Dude went from spineless to insanely brave in like a day.

[@fabiobonetta5454]

Single scenes of this movie are worth entire feature action flicks today

[@damianstarks3338]

Vasquez was badass to the end and Gorman redeemed himself.

And the 4 horsemen for 1980’s animated films? I could imagine An American Tale and The Land Before Time count as two.

Robocop needs to be in there

Thinking she played young John Connor's step parent in T2 is surreal..both characters had to face non human villains.

She played an Irish mom in Titantic too. Jenette Goldstein...great character actor

Christ what a scene. The character development is so strong

[@FOAB-Carlos]

Ah back when female characters weren't mary sues, and were better written, i miss those time, i mean, think about it, there is no memorable modern day strong female character anymore, that alone speaks lots of volume.

[@Enruler]

God this movie was so fucking good.

[@chief8268]

this scene was written so well: - Newt rushing forward, leading to Vasquez falling behind. - writer chose Gormon to save Vasquez instead of Hicks. - Gormon redeeming himself by blowing up a grenade. - Vasquez delivery of "you always were an asshole Gormon" was perfect - Newt falling because of the explosion

[@DerDude1977]

Vasqzez has been the greatest character of all Alien movies.
