ALIENS Clip - "Ripley vs. Alien Queen" (1986) Sci-Fi

[@MuchachoC]

ripley appearing with the power loader is still one of most incredible payoffs in movie history

[@porpus99]

Guess that Class 2 Rating really did come in handy.

[@georgehenderson7783]

Equaled only by Bishop bringing that dropship up into view to rescue Ripley and Newt as everything is falling apart around them as they huddled on that platform with the alien queen having just arrived.

[@stanleymcvay9283]

True. Total surprise. And appropriate.

[@EclecticCleric]

It's the classic Chekov's power-loader.

[@garammaru3272]

If it was Miles Quaritch in AMP Suit, he probably beat the crap out of Queen. Quaritch managed to kill Thanator while piloting AMP Suit with nothing but knife.Thanator is ferocious enough to hunt and kill Alien Queen as breakfast.

And the fact that the animatronic has visually aged like wine and still looks believable almost forty years later (it honestly looks more convincing than most modern day CGI monsters)!

This is the power of motherhood. Through Newt, Ripley went from being paralyzed with fear and PTSD by a 'regular' xenomorph to facing the Queen head on, brimming with mama-bear rage.

[@sammuslu2992]

Still gives me goosebumps..... unlike most modern movies of today 😢

[@thecontainerthecontents6889]

the sounds are so loud and sharp, and the lack of soundtrack for most of it allows that to be emphasized, and these sounds really made this far more riveting then the visuals alone could've achieved -- because although the visuals quality is not even close to today's levels of smoothness, this scene is as good today as it was when i first saw it, I still love it. Anyway, J cameron's one of the greatest, i think it's fair to say he out-did the original, which, back then, must've really taken quite the investment by him to do. Just like t2, it's so old, it's visual level so far removed from modern standards, and that movie is still an incredible sublime experience by any era's standards. His movies don't age. I think Spielberg's the same. Jurassic park will wow any generation that ever sees it. the scenes themselves are so well constructed and deeply thought out. The effort in the details to bring it to life is there.

[@vindolanda6974]

A Xenomorph should have been too fast for the loader. I guess the Queen was injured in some way by the separation from the ovipositor and the journey on the outside of the shuttle, so it was slower and more hesitant than usual.

[@AustinPersinger]

Gotta take into account the queens stamina level was probably completely drained. After sitting in the nest for such a long period of time (literally not moving) she has to run to the ship, and then proceeds to get wacked hard at by Ripley twice which probably disoriented the Queen as well. I know the Aliens are faster and stronger then humans but they are in lore still living creatures who get tired quicker from lack of exercise and get injured as well.

[@justinholster9439]

Nerd Alert

[@avatarshaoran]

I believe the Queen's hesitation is due the fact no one actually would dare to fight her directly so she's calculating her moves.

[@LukeLovesRose]

I think you're overthinking this. It's a sci-fi monster for crying out loud. Have you met many?

[@ShadeUnderTheSoul]

Considering that she had just dismembered herself (ripping off the ovipositor), had rushed through the collapsing reactor, hitched a ride through the upper atmosphere to the Sulaco, and then had her head bashed by multiple strikes from the Power Loader, and also isn't evolved for combat roles(just like irl ant queens), I don't think it's ridiculous to guess why the Queen didn't steamroll Ripley here.
