[@svartmetall]

She did it on the second or third take (she'd trained with a basketball coach for a few weeks with this in mind) and it landed absolutely perfectly, nothing but net...Perlman was so stunned he broke character and yelled something like "FUCK YEAH!" which is why his reaction is cut short.

The lab scene with the clones is so haunting. Truly the stuffs of nigthmares.

[@carybrown851]

Part of why I view this, and the previous, films as "Ripley's nightmares" (during hypersleep).

[@donnaroo8042]

It is. I think there was a question of how many of those experiments there were - Ripley looks down at that double-square tattoo on her arm and we realize it is actually an "8."

[@Deimos2k5]

Chicks! Am I right?

[@MrDuneedon]

That was a terrific and emotional scene-but then it was followed up by the odd juxtaposition of a jokey remark by Perlman’s character that immediately cheapened the previous scene’s impact (the “waste of ammo” comment). I don’t dislike this film nearly as much as some people do. In fact, I find a lot to like in it. But my major problem with it is that its tone is totally schizophrenic.

That discovery that Ripley Eight's own blood was acid should have been the biggest shock of the film, but what's more horrifying is the fact that due to the genetic crossing, these Xenomorphs are actually _far more intelligent_ than the previous incarnation of the species.

[@benhudson9790]

In "Aliens" Ripley comments that the aliens don't f*ck each other over, in "Resurrection", once combined with human DNA, they f*ck each other over as part of the escape.

[@Robert_Douglass]

@@benhudson9790 Who can really say? Perhaps they also understood the concept of self-sacrifice, and the smaller one decided to let its broodmates kill it and was able to communicate that to them for the very purpose of escape.

I'm glad you have this opinion on controversial entries in a series. Many reactors just listen to the criticism and skip the entry, forgetting that it is still an entry in a "series" and so it is opinion to the plot and lore even if it is disliked. God job!

[@rbrtck]

I don't consider it part of the lore, personally. I think many reactors will skip it (or delay their reactions indefinitely) because there are so many other movies and franchises to watch, and maybe they also think they won't get many views, which is a valid concern, whether that would be true or not in any particular case.

[@ht9851]

I stay away from reactors that won't watch a movie because of negative comments. As movie reactors it's literally content for the channel so why not watch everything and form your own opinion. That's what makes a channel interesting and appealing to a larger audience. I appreciate your approach to giving everything a chance and being surprised one way or the other.

[@TheLucasbuck]

I like that all the Alien films are very different. No point trying to copy the first two 'cause nothing can beat them.

[@ryans413]

Alien Resurrection in my opinion is better then Alien 3

[@mnomadvfx]

The irony that almost everyone misses is that the 2nd film IS copying the first. Seriously - it's so close to being the same plot just cut up and changed slightly with a much more action oriented lean to the script vs the horror in the original. Let me break it down for you just so you know I'm not just being hyperbolic: Aliens = Alien #1. Newt = Jones the cat. #1a. Initial Newt scene is like an alien on the movement sensor = Initial movement sensor sweep of alien finds Jones, both almost end with Jones/Newt getting shocked/shot. #1b. Ripley endangers Hicks and Bishop to go look for Newt = Ripley endangers Lambert and Parker to go look for Jones. #2. Hudson = Lambert, both characters are basically an insert for the audiences fears. #3. Burke = Ash, the conniving psychopathic, company centric operator. #4. Atmosphere processor reactor = Nostromo engine reactor, both scripts push to the final encounter with the alien through the danger of the impending explosion of the reactor. #5. Derelict space ship in Aliens special edition cut = derelict space ship in Alien. #6. Message from Burke to LV-426 = Message from The Company to Ash. #7. Stowaway alien queen on drop ship 2 = stowaway alien on Nostromo life pod. #8. Final fight with alien queen ending with ejecting into space = final fight with alien ending with ejecting into space. #9. Hicks = Parker, both are basically Ripley's love interest, Hicks is just a lot more obvious about it while Parker's attraction to her is masked by his passive aggressive behavior. #10. Team commander Gorman dies in an air duct = Nostromo captain Dallas dies/gets abducted in an air duct (in the theatrical cut). There is a scene which is even more egregious than those above, because it not only lifts the same visual/plot elements, but also lifts Jerry Goldsmith's score cue titled "The Recovery" wholesale from the Alien soundtrack as the background music for this scene in both cuts of Aliens. The scene in question is when Ripley and Newt are making their way out of the atmosphere processor waiting for the elevator to arrive just prior to its explosion, and the xenomorph queen pokes its head around the corner. At the exact moment the xenomorph queen appears the Goldsmith score cue plays. In Alien the score cue plays when Ripley is on the way to the life pod/shuttle with Jones in tow before the Nostromo engine explodes, and the xenomorph appears causing Ripley to drop Jones and run back to the engine control room. For time reference (H:M:S) the scenes in question happen at '01:37:24' in Alien Theatrical Cut, and at '02:18:35' in the Aliens Directors/Extended/Special Edition Cut.

[@erikbjelke4411]

No, the host DNA has to change, otherwise cloning would get you just Ripley with no Queenburster. And it makes sense, if you think about it. Our immune systems would try to reject and attack any foreign tissue, so the Xenomorph must have some way to fool our bodies into thinking it belongs there. Modifying our DNA with a bit of its could accomplish that.

[@valashar5313]

General Perez is one of my favorite parts of this film. He's a completely no nonsense straight man regarding the project of resurrecting the xenomorphs, but also has zero illusions about what they're making. First hint of a problem and it's everyone off the boat, no xenomorph is allowed to leave. While his death sucks, he's also given what I consider to be the best death by xenomorph ever with the lingering shot, slow realization, and the act of reaching back to pull out and look at his own brain.

One of the things I like about this movie is that, since they wanted to show how having some Xenomorph DNA merged with her own affects Ripley's character, they allow Sigourney Weaver to play to her full height (5'11"? 6"?) instead of using filming tricks to make her appear more of a "normal" female height.

Promethus is NOT the "origin of the species"... the Xenomorph is the default bioweapon state of the Engineer's terraforming tool, the black goo. If activated. David does not "create" xenomorphs.

Alien 4 is what happens when you bring Jean-Pierre Jeunet, a french cult filmmaker, to direct a Alien movie written by Joss Whedon. Also plaqued by studios interference, but Jeunet still comes through (and brings some of his "regulars" like Ron Perlman to the production). I would strongly suggest to add at least Jeunet's most commercial (cult) movie "Amélie" to your reaction list. One of my favorite films to this day. Also... The original alien saga... Ridley Scott, James Cameron, David Fincher and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, what a list of world class directors...

[@tenchraven]

Whedon wrote the initial script. It was changed so much he disavows it, and with good cause. You can find the origional if you look hard enough, and it is nothing like this. And only the French and a handful of wannabes would call Jeunet world class at anything except fart sniffing.

City of the Lost Children (La Cite des Enfants Perdus) is another Jeunet classic, and also stars Perlman and Dominique Pinon (or several of him, LOL).

[@jaytyler6203]

Two things to realize about this movie...first a form of the alien finally makes it to Earth as Ripley hybrid and second..androids are named alphabetically in each movie, Ash, Bishop, Call, next is David.

[@entertainmentwizard2703]

The basketball shot was real and as soon as Sigourney was out of frame the Director was like yesssssssssssssssss!

[@sandys1890]

Dude from Two Towers is also the guy who plays Chuckie in Childs Play

[@NigelShepherd-z7k]

The brilliant Brad Dourif

[@crazyfvck]

@sandys1890 He was also in the original Dune movie.

[@danielmillward9947]

He'll also make you cry with his performance in one flew over the cuckoos nest.

[@elizabethparker4511]

I liked him in Star Trek: Voyager too.

[@Dystopia1111]

The Exorcist 3 (1988) - absolute peak-creepy Brad Dourif performance. Some of the best acting ever in a supernatural horror film. Also very good in a 1-off guest appearance on Babylon 5 in the mid-90s.

[@cuoresportivo155]

Ripley was (in the plot) brought back because they couldn't get the xenomorph without the host, they tried several times as the one scene showed. But they would have killed off Ripley after retrieving the xenomorph imo, unless they already knew she was special. Well they should know if they touched her blood with anything.

[@denroy3]

Plot device, don't try to make it make sense. Even the first sequel was stupid on plot.

[@batbrick3949]

6:55 Yes, Brad Dourif played Wormtongue in LOTR and he played Piter De Vries in Dune (1984). But his most iconic role was playing Charles Lee Ray/ Chuckie in the Child’s Play franchise.

[@emilywilhite5807]

He was amazing in Exorcist 3 as well.

[@belvagurr403]

This is my favorite Alien movie!!! Winnona Ryder is soooo good as the android.

[@BioDoesStuff]

holy sht y'all ARE watching this one huh? i have a soft spot for Resurrection, it's immediately not as serious, and it's more of an action sci fi with Aliens in the mix, but i think what it does right, it does it REALLY WELL, and what it doesn't or what feels a bit more whimsical, isn't too overwhelming and doesn't ruin the experience. it's just a fun ride with more xenos :v *edit* funny enough, the director's cut adds some really needed ties to previous movies, including Ripley's memories of newt, her death on Fiorina, and even the fate of Weyland-Yutani (apparently got bought by walmart 🤣)

[@vladyvhv9579]

Well, they watched Alien 3 and this one's better than that movie.

[@TheGeronimojack]

When they find out that the girl is an android, the guy that was in the mobile chair says "you're second gen, aren't you"? is an easter egg. The same actor says the same line in the original Bladerunner to the 2 androids (Roy and Chris) that come to his house.

[@SecondSince]

YES! The most underrated of the Alien movies! I always view it as more of a comedy in the Alien universe than as opposed to the more scary earlier ones. I always enjoy it when i watch it!

[@Shyning77]

Yes! I mean, Tremors had that comedy vibe, so why not an Alien film? That was a refreshing take on the franchise.

[@RainCorbyn]

LOL yes Denise, holding our breath with the characters squad!

[@mikemartin8461]

Just to let it be known if some don't know Sigourney Weaver actually made that basketball shot her self

[@BETMARKonTube]

So many decades later... I'm still pissed for the pointless death of the "cool shooting guy" (named like this to avoid spoilers in the comment). If they only made clear SOMEHOW that he was actually done for, it would have made sense as "noble sacrifice", but like this it looks more like a premature pointless suicide.

[@user-eu1rh2nm8j]

Agreed

[@manjibean4015]

All it would of took is if they made the injuries a bit more substantial, like if his face was hanging off and fully melted

[@aronh4885]

Yessss finally! The quadrilogy completed!

[@theseageek]

Sigourney’s 🏀 shot was nothing short of epicness, and the production crew’s behind the scene reaction was the cherry on the top.

[@josephdarklight]

i like it took ripley full circle asa whole in the end compared to the first film where she feared the xenomorph to having no fear and becoming like them and so much stronger too

[@samythekay]

No matter what Brad Dourif is in I just can't help but hear Chucky.

[@mikemartin8461]

Oh yeahhhhhhhh know ya'll both happy to see Ron Perlman in this one. One of three of us favorite actors

[@mgjkoehler]

Hands down, my favorite Alien movie, followed by Aliens. Enjoyed your reaction.

[@graceonfilmsnstuff]

agreed

[@llace01]

14:49 "they look a bit different don't they" The in-story explanation is that the queen also has some human dna in her, so the xenos have a more "fleshy" appearance Though it was more likely that the design team (Woodruff and Gillis, from the previous movie too) just preferred the more "monstrous" desing over the original's more bio-mechanical

[@idkman3210]

Im not really scared of the aliens, but i can DEFITNITELY see why newborn is seen was one of the most terrifying aliens in the alien franchise...

[@thechristianbernal]

Sigourney Weaver actually made that basketball shot!!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

She’s such a legend ❤️

[@Robert_Douglass]

Depending on who you listen to, she either pulled it off on the first take or she took fifty takes and eventually they just had her toss it over her shoulder and they dropped another basketball into the net from off-camera.

[@thechristianbernal]

@@Robert_Douglass I JUST watched something the other day with the director and cast members saying she did it first take. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@chestbuster1987]

The film that got me into the Alien franchise. Fun action moments, funny moments, great effects. Yes, there are some silly moments, but overall, it's a good movie.

[@tonyyul703]

Yes Sigourney Weaver even doubled as one of the rejected clones.... Ripley 7

[@squattingnevil]

Thank you both for the consistent output of quality content guys. So appreciate it. Loving your stuff. Easily my favourite reaction channel I've seen and I've seen a LOT.

[@injunsun]

@TheMediaKnights, I actually liked the baby thing. She didn't kill it right off, because she felt love for him. He killed the Queen, because he had genetic memories himself, and understood she was something to be reviled, but he loved his "grandmother." She knew he had no place in the world, so to speak, because he could not be free without being caught and experimented on, so, even tho she felt his love for her, and felt his pain as he died, she knew she had to do it. Then she cried about losing him, about having to kill him. What kind of life could he have had, even as a "good" hybrid, perhaps equal parts of both species? He didn't deserve to be part of that horrible experiment, and didn't deserve to die. Memories aside, he was innocent. He only killed a couple evil people, and obeyed Ripley-clone. All this is why I actually cried with her when she killed him, and him screaming out her name, not understanding why the one person he loved would end him like that. Truly a tragic creature.

[@camelia5170]

I saw this in the theatre, and that horrible death scene made some people flee the room gagging. Me and my best friend were in tears. To this day, as far as we are concerned, this movie is a family tragedy. And Denise, I would definitely boop that upturned nose. 😂

[@beetlebob4675]

You just validated kid-me.❤❤😭😭 I absolutely loved the baby and that whole scene always upset me. My parents thought it was so funny that I felt so strongly about a character I was supposed to be afraid of. But monsters, aliens and creature -features were my favorite things ❤ and yes, even as a child I saw that creature as innocent and tragic, thank you SO MUCH😭😭

[@sarahnadeofpoetry]

@@beetlebob4675 Seriously, my heart broke during that scene, and this reaction was my first time watching the movie. Even without properly viewing it, my heart broke for that newborn. And I never thought he looked derpy, I saw the emotions there, and it felt so real to me. And I get Ripley wanting to mercy kill it, and I get that there wasn't a better option in the moment, but damn, imagine having every part of your insides being slowly sucked out of a small hole until you're finally small enough to go crumpling up and blasting out of it, then flying off in a line of chunks. Fuck's sake, that is surely in the top three most tragic, horrifying deaths in all of cinema, it has to be.

[@Camuska]

I remember that when the movie was in theater in France, Sigourney Weaver was interviewd on the country main channel main news show. They showed sneak peak of the movie (The underwater aliens and the basketball shot) and I remember miss Weaver being SUPER proud of succeeding in the basketball shot

[@stevenbolstridge596]

In my personal opinion this one is very underrated!

[@joshscott6914]

"This was different" is a hilarious review.

[@ACNelson-officialchannel]

We finally found one where Denise wouldn't "boop the snoot"! 😂😂😂 This movie was full of curveballs and change-ups for this series. It's a crazy ride. Now it's time for the prequels: Prometheus and Covenant. Great reaction! ❤❤

[@kblixt]

I genuinely like this movie a lot because I saw it on cable quite a bit.

[@ROLANDSONOFSTEPHEN690]

I LOVE 3 and 4! Unrelated. The French actor that played Viriess in the wheel chair is Dominique Pinon. He and Ron Pearlman are in an incredible film called "The City of Lost Children". Its excellent! I think you guys would really appreciate it.

[@toddhill7483]

A fantastic film. And unique.

[@hyzenthlay7151]

Very underrated movie and visually fantastic

[@davidcollier6156]

When this came out in 1997, cloning was very controversial (and maybe still is) when Dolly the sheep was born the year before. It was an easy way to bring back Ripley.

[@TexasTaterSalad]

Hopefully y’all watch Prometheus and then Alien Covenant, I think they are both very good extensions of the Alien franchise

[@MC-zr6gc]

IMO, this is the sexiest Ripley. The way she carries herself not only projecting her height ( an ever 6'0" ), and just stares and watches, like an beast woman studying her prey. You don't have to know that she has super strength to know that she's capable of breaking you. And I'd be SO down for that. Sigourney

[@jord-o965]

Say what you want but this movie looks awesome and the practical effects are out of this world! Also this movie gets under my skin so much 😅 the vibe, music, that horrifying albino alien thing idk creeps me out for real

[@cottonxcandyxjollyxrancher]

Fun fact: The scientist in the beginning is played by Brad Dourif, aka Chucky. ❤

[@kurtuhlig2553]

Didn’t he also play Grima in Lord of the Rings?

[@cottonxcandyxjollyxrancher]

@kurtuhlig2553 yes!

[@personatodo]

There's an extended version of this movie showed them landing on the post apocalyptic Earth landscape with Call and Ripley sitting down for a conversation. It's a far better ending than the theatrical version imo. Alien fans should really seek out an excellent fan edit called Alien Rebirth that felt closer in tone with the first two movies and yes, including regaining memories of Newt you two mentioned.

[@Robert_Douglass]

Is it here on KZbin? Or is it on _(shudder)_ Rumble?

[@personatodo]

@@Robert_Douglass are you referring to the extended cut or the fan edit? The extended cut can be found on the Blu-ray while the fan edit can be found and requested from some sites (hint: the word that KZbin hates starting with "red" and ends with "dit".) I don't think it's possible for anyone to upload any Alien movies on YT due to copyright.

[@Tari_Ebon]

People criticize this movie and the third but I grew up watching all four of them along with the predators one. They're all good. They just Didn't appreciate what we had. Cause damn look at the new movies... 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@martiniz7535]

This movie is one of my top favorite in this entire franchise

[@julianstier3821]

I hated this movie back then but seeing it with you guys again, it definitely grew on me. I just wish, Ripley would even more lean into the Alien Hybrid persona. Behaving more and more like the Xeno.

[@Shadow.24-c8h]

I’m happy Romulus made an improvement.

[@CosmicQuillPublishers]

You gotta now watch the Prometheus series, as these are origin stories for the Alien franchise.

[@MysterClark]

Strangely, this was the first Aliens movie I ever saw. My aunt took me to see it in the theater. I may've seen parts of others or something, but this launched me into Aliens fandom. Yes, that was Brad Dourif, who I later fell in love with. He was Wormtongue, he played the main villain in one of the games of my favorite video game series of all time, and he's the voice of Chucky, the little murdering doll (Not to mention played the human version, Charles Lee Ray).
