The ping of the Colonial Marines' motion detector might be the most stress-inducing sound in sci-fi/horror/action movie history.

[@Imylover]

It's the sound effect you love to NEVER hear!

[@anathardayaldar]

It was my ringtone for a while :)

[@weldonwin]

In the words of SF Debris "It may only be a little dot on a screen, but its an eight foot tall exoskeletal dot, THE WORST KIND!"

[@weldonwin]

The sound design in this movie is excellent all around, from the sphincter-tightening ping of the motion tracker, the Barking report of the Pulse Rifle, even the sounds the doors make is memorable.

[@Dystopia1111]

@@weldonwin Right on. Also the creepy AF moment when you can hear the Queen breathing and any scenes involving the power loader. The effects are already visually great, but the sound adds so much depth of multi-sensory reality to it.

[@roddmatsui3554]

As soon as I saw “My mom watches Aliens”, I thought, “That might be worth a watch …”

[@xKagryx]

It’s a movie about moms after all!

[@shainewhite2781]

One of the best Sci-fi Action movies ever made! It was nominated for 7 Oscars: Best Actress, Sigourney Weaver Best Sound Editing, Don Sharpe Best Sound Mixing, Nicolas Le Muessier, Michael Carter, Graham Harstone, Ray Charman Best Film Editing, Ray Lovejoy Best Visual Effects, Stan Winston, John Richardson and Robert Skotak Best Production Design, Peter Lamont Best Original Score James Horner. It won Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Editing. It made $193 million dollars ($700 million dollars today) against a $20 million dollar budget.

[@dabe1971]

23:32 Her Dad was an USAF NCO based at RAF Lakenheath in the UK where they were filming and the casting director was scouting around associated schools looking for an American girl of the right age. Her brother in the movie was her real brother too so it was perfect. Apparently she also had the best scream they had ever heard !

[@VBSuper]

Fun fact: Carrie Henn liked going down the ducts so much she kept screwing that scene on purpose. But Jim Cameron caught on that and told her she could do it as much as she wanted after they finished it. There is a picture of Sigourney and Carrie pretending they are the Queen Alien, you can see it in the extra features. If you ever watch 3 and 4, just pretend they're really bad nightmares that Ripley has in her cryosleep. That's what makes me endure them.

[@thomaspandolini8338]

You two are by far among the best reaction teams out there. No jarring cuts, no lengthy interruptions, no playing around and giggling (especially when viewing a horror film). And Jen is great!

[@martinodendaal1703]

This is just one of those movies you HAVE to see before you die. It stands out today just the same it did back then. Epic masterpiece! I know I've said it before - Your mother is absolutely adorable. Her reactions are funny as hell.

[@Gruntdawg0007]

My top movie. Love it. Being a Marine. Loved this one the best. Love the franchise of course. It’s spot on with the characters and interactions.

[@lesliesummey5880]

Aliens is my all-time favorite movie. And I really enjoyed all the commentary and behind the scenes stuff that you were sharing with your mom. I already knew it, but I was loving you giving her behind the scenes info as the film progressed. The actor's name who you couldn't remember was James Remar. Michael Biehn replaced him because apparently Mr. Remar was having some drug issues back then that were affecting his performance. The actress who plays Vasquez is Jeanette Goldstein. She was also in T2, as you mentioned, and Titanic, as well. Cameron liked her so he hired her frequently. Lance Henrickson, who plays Bishop, was also in Alien 3, and the first Terminator film. Bill Paxton was also in the first Terminator. I believe you are right about Sigourney still being friends with Carrie Henn. Carrie is now a school teacher, last I heard anyway.

[@slwh111]

William Paxton ad libbed the whole whiny "game over, man" thing. And look how iconic it has become.

[@tommc3622]

They specifically cast Paul Reiser in Stranger Things to essentially play Burke, knowing the audience would have preconceived perceptions of his being untrustworthy.

[@gallendugall8913]

I love the APC in this, and it's a real world vehicle! It's an airport tug. The thing that moves big airliners around an airport. So mundane and so exotic.

[@weldonwin]

I also love the power loader. According to legend, it was so convincing looking, Fox started getting calls from construction companies, enquiring where they could buy one, believing it was a real, maybe prototype machine.

[@andyd3447]

This movie still holds up almost 40 years later and its because of the practical effects. Movies need to go back to that!

[@jenr5426]

THIS. I'm getting older, myself lol, so maybe it's nostalgia - but IMO modern CGI just doesn't cut it. It can't hold a candle to practical effects.

[@weldonwin]

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate for a moment. Practical effects are not automatically superior to CGI. Yes, this stands as an excellent example of amazing practical effects that do indeed stand up 40 years later. There are however also terrible practical effects, that looked bad even when they were new. CGI can also look amazing. What makes effects good or bad is the effort and skill put into them. Alien and Aliens both had amazingly talented effects teams working on them, who put serious effort into their craft. Just ditching CGI and going back to practical effects will not make effects instantly good, not if you don't have the talented people to make it happen and CGI is not automaticall bad, just because it is CGI.

[@andyd3447]

@@weldonwin And unfortunately most CGI comes out looking like a botched mess even with high budgets. At least with practical effects its clear what they were trying to accomplish. Watching something that is supposed to look real but ends up looking like a cartoon completely kills it for me (personally). Although I will say it can come out good when they mix practical and CGI.

[@weldonwin]

@@andyd3447 A good example would be a couple of years ago, when Netflix did their prequel series to the Dark Crystal, using mostly practical effects, with CG enhancements to fill in details on characters. Again, CGI is not automatically bad, it depends of the level of effort and skill put into it and I have seen some pretty terrible practical effects too.

[@miller-joel]

It holds up because it has a great story and great characters. Very solid script. Very solid everything.

[@gordondafoe3516]

When Ripley escaped the egg chamber carrying Newt, she was actually handling a a light weight dummy. The practical effect looks surprisingly real.

[@dabe1971]

9:35 She's a Cameron stalwart. She's in Titanic as well, plays the Irish mother reading stories to her children as the ship goes down. She also runs a chain of US lingerie shops for the bustier lady !

[@grimreaper-qh2zn]

Love you and your mams reactions. Pity you left out the "Doesn't mean were engaged" and "Yes I've noticed" in the flirting between Ripley and Hicks. Burkes plan would be to use Bishop, who would have to obey Company orders from him. Carrie Henn (Newt) said that in the "Water" scene, the Assistant Director had the water kept warm over night. When they went to film the scene in the morning Newt said the water was too hot, so her and the "Alien" sat on the side bathing their feet in the water till it cooled down. Carrie Henn became a School Teacher.

[@tiredoffools8929]

I love and hate the director's cut. I love and agree that the Ripley's revelation of the loss of her daughter is a huge omission in the theatrical cut, and that should have never been removed. I also like the sentry gun scenes a lot. I really hated seeing that early scene at the camp with Newt. It took away so much of the suspense of not knowing what happened that the original Theatrical cut had intact. When the Marine's first landed it was far more suspenseful in the Theatrical cut than the director's cut. I can't stress that enough. Also I hate that they introduce the concept of the Queen in the Director's cut because it was much more of a shock and surprise in the theatrical version. For me, I love this film, and it is so re-watchable, so for that reason I never recommend the director's cut to anyone first time because more often than not the viewer wants to see more, or see it again. That is when I recommended the Director's cut so the viewer gets two fun experiences instead of just one.

[@miller-joel]

The complaints about the special edition are ridiculous, confirmed by the fact that NO ONE who watches the SE first ever complains about those things. So they are not real problems. You are irrationally attached to a different version, and you're trying to rationalize it, that's all. I saw the theatrical version first, when it opened, but I prefer the SE. There's no reason to watch the theatrical cut.

[@bjgandalf69]

Terminator wasn't Cameron's first directing credit...Piranha 2 was. He was an effects specialist as well as editor before he became a director.

[@Thane36425]

That final scene with Lance ended up making him sick. The stuff he was spewing was yogurt, or milk. Either way, it was left out too long and even though it smelled bad, he went with it rather than take the time to whip a new batch with the proper consistency. Great scene but he paid for it. Another good movie with him that isn't widely known is "Pumpkinhead". It is basically a supernatural revenge film with a twist toward the end. Great special effects and Lance does a good job. The movie came out much later than plamned for various reasons and had almost no promotion. I only caught by chance at a small theater just before the run ended. I was the only person in the theater too.

[@michaelschwartz8730]

The kitchen scene in Jurassic Park owes a billion dollars to this amazing movie...but I still love 'em both 🤷‍♂

[@Ripley_Ellen]

I like to believe these are the only two Alien movies in the series. The sequels are a slap in the face to the overall power and emotion of this film. Glad you are leaving it here for mom instead of continuing on. 😊

[@bramos488]

I love the Alien and Aliens films. So bad ass just like Sigourney Weaver, so many iconic lines and scenes. Btw love your mom... she is hilarious and looks like such a sweet and cool lady.

[@Jen-Mom]

[@terencemcquillan5750]

The original actor for Hicks was James Remar. He was replaced by Biehn after getting arrested for having drugs. Also, the movie came out in 1986, not 1984.

[@TonyTigerTonyTiger]

16:27 He says, "Ho ho ho". By the rules of Die Hard, Aliens is now officially a Christmas movie.

[@Jen-Mom]

😁

[@henriksvensson126]

Ripley never really believed Burke when he said they were going out there to destroy them. Like you said for her it was all about facing her demons, she just needed to hear the words.

[@ryanjacobson2508]

On the other hand, she badly misjudged/panicked about Bishop being a robot. Although the big corporation again is the main villain, this time they don't have a robot they can exploit.

[@MsAppassionata]

I agree with you two. It should have been called “Aliens: Mother’s Day” 😀

[@jhilal2385]

H. R. Geiger also did the creature design for "Species" (1995)

[@julianaFinn]

Top 5 greatest sequels ever made, imo. And the music and cinematography is just sublime. Love Ripley, such a relatable hero because she's terrified the entire time, just trying to survive. Brilliant.

[@burntcrumpets5616]

I sure you realise how fortunate you are to have a mom that lovely. Shes awesome! I'd have love to have shared moments like this with my mum but she found me very annoying when telling her facts about films. Eventually she would get so pissed at me she'd just get up & leave the room. She never understood how much films & music were my saviour growing up during the 80s. I had an abusive older sister & father & my mothers time was consumed with battling multiple bouts of cancer so i was left to fill my own time & thoughs with happier things like films. They became so impactful on me that i knew i wanted to become a professional actor. I managed to get into a LDN drama school & graduated back in 2000. Give your mum a big hug from me.....🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧🇺🇲❤️

[@TheHulk2008]

I do like how they gave PTSD most people that have been through a horrible tragedy go through that . A very realistic thing that makes Ripley more human.

[@weldonwin]

Ripley, I consider a masterclass in how to write a female protagonist in a action-adventure or horror movie. She is strong and competent, but isn't some snarling, emotionless robot, who is awesome at everything and abjectly rejects everything feminine. Ripley is a very human character and more to the point, the writers embrace her gender, not as something to make her weak and need to be rescued, but as a source of strength. Ripley faces the monsters from her nightmares and saddles up to face the literal mother of monsters, to rescue her surrogate child. If that isn't embracing Ripley's womanhood and making her a strong character, I don't know what is. Take note Hollywood, THIS is how you write a Strong Female Character.

[@Paul_1971]

@@weldonwin ♤ What he said!

[@rodentnolastname6612]

The big "smartgun" was the barrel and receiver of an anti-aircraft gun (usually seen as a quad or 4 gun turret) mounted on a steady-cam rig, so you were partially correct. 😀

[@weldonwin]

Half correct again, the main body of the gun is an actual WW2 MG42 LMG, combined with the muzzle from an AA Gun, parts from a Motorbike and mounted on the steady-cam rig.

[@manduheavyvazquez5268]

The best sequel ever.

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

Just too bad Cameron went and altered the original grading to this blue mess, I dare say, people watching this version haven't really seen the original movie yet.

[@vesper180]

This is one of my fave movies of all time! Ripley is an iconic badass. My friends and I could literally quote this whole film. Your Mom's reaction was great!😁

[@bjgandalf69]

Newt aka Carrie Henn became a teacher as an adult.

[@LukeLovesRose]

Aliens is arguably the greatest sequel and the greatest sci-fi ever made

[@rowenatulley852]

That "Mommy!" gets me every time . . .

[@charleshays5407]

One deleted has Ripley going to rescue Newt and she finds Burke captured and impregnated by the Aliens. He then regrets what he did by not warning the colonists and he asks Ripley to put him out of his misery. She declines.

[@rakshakaur1985]

Now this one! This one I saw at the cinema. My dad took me (we shared our love for Sci-Fi and monsters) and we had a great time. It used to be a totally different experience back in the day, no apps to get the tickets, popcorn was fresh and the ambiance at the multiplex was EPIC. A fun thing is, I never had nightmares because of these movies, but when I saw 'Jurassic Park' I could hardly sleep for weeks 😂 Thanks for sharing ❤

[@solsirhibragusowl2221]

And Ripley, Hicks, Newt and Bishop all lived happily ever after on a planet far away from the aliens with their lovely cat Jonesy. The End

[@ardvan]

I prefer the theatrical releases because by leaving out some things it heightens the tension. You don't see captain Dallas cocooned and therefore you may not recognize the alien changes in "Aliens" made inside the reactor because you didn't see it in the first movie. In Aliens you will not see the life of the people living there which adds to the suspense because you don't know what happened at all and therefore almost shooting a little girl is the shocking first surprise. Even without the "Ripley missing her daughter" part that is used as explanation why she is so attached to Newt and got cut, I think every woman that likes children in a bunch of soldiers would have done the same to protect the girl. Apart from that there is not really much more, seeing some automatic guns shooting and their ammunition counter going down and two seconds of aliens screaming.

[@LinNoOne]

I wish more people shared this opinion. The suspense & pacing is so much better in the original theatrical release. And so much of the added-in dialogue is clumsy, like when they actually spell out the queen/hive dynamic

[@miller-joel]

Nonsense. No one who watches the SE first ever complains about any of that stuff. They don't find anything wrong with the pace, the "tension," the "mystery," the "suspense," etc. And cutting those scenes introduces plot holes. The alternate cut of Alien is a different animal. It was done only for marketing purposes. Ridley Scott is perfectly happy with the original cut.

[@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753]

Again, she's the foster mom from Terminator 2. And also she played the mother on the titanic with the two kids when they were stuck down below

[@MsAppassionata]

You forgot Godfather Part 2, another brilliant sequel.

[@GerSan1979]

I wanted a Aliens 3 in which Paul Raiser has been abducted by the Alien to be cocooned, and then when Ripley explodes the eggs with the granades he gets free from his resin thing. He picks a light vehicle and runs from the complex. When he is like 30 clicks, he sees the ship leaving the planet and then the nuke. Burke gets darth vader level burned from the blast radius but in the end he gets saved by Weyland Yutani. He becomes the villain of the third movie. I'd prefer this to Alien 3, but this is just me and my crazy ideas xD AlienS is probably my favourite film of all time.

[@bjgandalf69]

Fyi...Cameron wrote this sequel while waiting for Arnold to finish filming Conan the Barbarian so he could film Terminator.

[@malagastehlaate230]

Oh I love this one! One of my favorite movies... the Queen is the Bomb!... I like how they made it obvious that the Aliens are very intelligent.

[@weldonwin]

Intelligent, but not sapient. The Aliens have a high degree of problem solving and tactical intelligence, not not higher reasoning or critical thinking capacity. They are animal, smart ones, but ultimately they have no goal beyond survival. As Ash put it "A survivor, unclouded by conscience or delusions of morality"

[@charleshays5407]

These people are more concerned about their ship than the fact that people were killed by the creature.

[@Js-fr1ov]

The queen reneged on the agreement at the end when the egg opened. That's why Ripley torched them all.

[@Damiana_Dimock]

I do feel the need to push back against the crap Alien3 tends to get, because once you can push past the initial introduction, (which made people mad and their anger clouded how they watched the rest of the film,) it’s not a bad movie. Alien3 (1992,) David Fincher’s feature film debut, and it is very much a Fincher film. Unfortunately, people love James Cameron too much, especially people of my generation who grew up with Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991,) True Lies (199,) and Aliens (1986.) Cameron’s Spielbergian grasp of the blockbuster-Heroic story that taps into our humanity and manipulates our emotions. For most people, and I think correctly, Aliens overshadows Alien, (though I personally prefer Alien, I enjoy Horror.) One might say Ridley Scott built the toys for James Cameron to play with. I find the first three films make the perfect Ellen Ripley story cycle, a perfect trilogy. But much like “the company,” studios were so hellbent on wringing the franchise for every dollar they could get put of it, they just had to green light a fourth film. Then they begged Weaver to join the cast. The fourth film, however, I do have to disassociate from the Alien franchise while watching it, not because I think it is a fundamentally bad film but because it does not feel like an Alien film and overall seems to miss the point of the original three. But, like I said, not a bad film. Alien: Resurrection (1997,) a very French Fantasy film, it reads more like something out of Heavy Metal Magazine, wedged between Frank Frazetta, Jim Steranko, & Mœbius. Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, (City Of Lost Children; Amélie; Delicatessen,) and starring a begrudgingly Sigourney Weaver reprises her role as Ellen Ripley, she is also joined by Winona Ryder (just off The Crucible and would later star on Stranger Things alongside Paul R,) Ron Perlman, (Hellboy; City Of Lost Children,) Dominique Pinon (City Of Lost Children; Delicatessen; Amélie,) Michael Wincott (The Crow & Nope,) & Gary Dourdan (CSI.) I do think Alien3 and Alien: Resurrection were miscalculations, but in terms of understanding the market at the time. Alien 3 comes out right after Terminator 2, though similar in many ways the tone of the two films do clash. After Alien3 Fincher makes Se7en (1995) & The Game (1997,) while Cameron makes True Lies (1994) & Titanic (1997.) Hollywood finds itself at a fork in the road. To quote Robert Frost, “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler.” Hollywood chose Titanic, Men In Black, and Good Will Hunting, leaving little room for a weird French Action, Sci-Fi film like Alien: Resurrection, barely breaking into the top 30 films of the year, and thus the Alien Franchise would lie dormant until the early 2010s with the “return” of Ridley Scott via Prometheus (2012.) Anyway, I definitely recommend everyone checks out some other films of the late ‘90s: While Best Picture Oscars are going out to The English Patient in 1997, to Titanic in 1998, & to Shakespeare In Love in 1999, many other good films are being overlooked-in particular, genre films, which are routinely overlooked. The Thin Red Line (1998,) my favorite War Film; Event Horizon (1997,) Lost Highway (1997,) Perfect Blue (1997,) Ravenous (1999,) Slam (1998,) Dark City (1998,) Audition (1999,) Boys Don’t Cry (1999,) 8mm (1999,) etc. Godspeed 🙏🏼☺️

James Cameron likes to reuse same actors he's worked with prior and knows what they can and can't do. Three actors from The Terminator were in Aliens: Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese), Bill Paxton (One of three punks Arnold came up to naked at the beginning of the movie demanding clothes), and Lance Henriksen (Police Detective working with late great actor Paul Winfield).

I don't think thats quite accurate. Britain has a thing called tea breaks and Cameron didn't understand that.

[@VelkanAngels]

Yeah, I like Alien 3 a lot and it's a shame that no one reacts to it, cause someone else tells them not to bother. To be fair though, I used to hate it for uh... well, one single very obvious reason... Once I got over that though and just watched it for what it is, I found it very enjoyable. Love the dark vibe and the industrial setting.

[@weldonwin]

[@miller-joel]

Since a3 breaks continuity, it doesn't "continue" the story. By definition.

[@charleshays5407]

This is how the movie should have ended. Ripley saved Newt, the aliens were killed, and Ripley and Newt lived happily ever after, and if those creatures came to earth, people would be ready.

[@brigidtheirish]

Like Vietnam, they got absolutely slaughtered in large part because the officer was incompetent and failed to communicate.

[@PeekaPeep]

Another great reaction you two! I do wonder who was the original choice to play Hicks because I always thought Biehn was the guy Cameron wanted all along for that role. Oh, and if you finally decide to do a reaction to the largely polarizing Alien 3 make sure it's the ASSEMBLY CUT version (the one closest to director David Fincher's vision, minus two key scenes in which I felt he should've gone with the theatrical one instead for greater emotional impact). Personally, I actually liked that sequel despite the infamously true stories of how the studio execs tried to inject too much of their business-driven ideas into the production at the time...

[@larsyxa]

It is the best action movie of all time, nothing will ever come close.
