Perlman.

[@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. It's one of the most amazing physical things I think I've ever seen an actor do on film.

[@Richardwho-vv5bh]

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.

[@leandroferraz3776]

So intense, so felt!!

[@MavenCree]

FUN FACT: That backwards basketball ball shot was real and done on one take. The intention was for her to mime the action, and they would digitally insert the ball later. Sigourney said, "We'll let me try it at least once." So they did. Cameras rolling. She made the shot. 🏀 Then Ron Pearlman almost ruined the shot cause of his reaction. 😆 There's behind the scenes footage of the full shot.

It wasn't one take. It was 35 attempts. It was the last attempt that they could make that day, and it was nearly ruined by Ron Perlman losing his shit.

[@Robert_Douglass]

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 believe the novelisation makes some mention of that. What's even scarier is that the novelisation mentions that these Xenomorphs can understand _WRITING._

[@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.

[@Sapphire_Reacts]

so the humanoid white xeno didnt see the alien queen as its mother,thats why it killed her. it saw ripley as its mother which is why it followed her to the ship

[@glenmartin7978]

The hosts DNA is not changed, Ripley's DNA is changed because she died while carrying the Queen and the cloneing process merges their DNA as there is very little left of Ripley and the Queen to clone from, they basically clone a hybrid

[@NSTro]

yep, Number 8 is another failed clone but in surface she looks like a success one

[@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.

[@royalecrafts6252]

17:18 If you pay attention to Ripley's behaviour in this scene, you'll notice, that her movement is very similar to that of the xenomorphs. The way how she quickly "stands up" and looks down and the way how she grabs her neck is the same way how xenomorphs have done it in other movies.

[@RamblingRose08]

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.

[@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.

[@zachhoward9099]

I kinda wished they had shown the paper currency in a little closer detail. I also found it interesting that the United Systems has its own Congress😂

[@alyxgriffen5073]

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.

[@Robert_Douglass]

5'11". Same height as Taylor Swift.

[@ryans413]

I liked that it gave the actor a different approach she got to play her character different.

[@TheChristopherHope]

This might be a controversial opinion but I think Prometheus SLAPS. You seem to like Alien lore and Prometheus gets into that big time and answers *some* important questions about the origin of the species. Even if you don't enjoy it, it is worth watching for what I believe is a MASTERCLASS performance by Michael Fassbender.

[@shania991]

[@johannesbowers7467]

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. He is a child who was playing with the keys to a gun cabinet full of loaded guns. Xenomorphs predate the events of Prometheus by millenia.

You are not crazy at all. This is an amazing B-movie. The cheesiness just doesn't fit in with the rest of the Alien series which is the problem. It sucks as an "Alien movie", but that does not change the fact that it's still an amazing "B-movie". Gotta separate the two. It's been quite a while since I last watched Resurrection, and I had a BLAST! Romulus is kind of like if Resurrection was shot more seriously.

[@CosmicQuillPublishers]

I appreciate the classical literary work of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein that is present in all the Alien films, but especially more "in your face" in this film. If you read and are knowledgeable of the literary classics, you have a deeper understanding and appreciation for modern interpretations/adaptations we see in film today.

[@Guthwulf11]

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).

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

[@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.

[@lordofalltime]

the big mistake that these scientists made was keeping the Xenos more then 1 per cage

[@toddhill7483]

Perhaps some corporate cost cutting measures.

[@Iymarra]

No, their mistake was their presumption that they were in any way different to previous attempts. Lack of hubris

[@ferchrissakes]

“I am not the man with whom to fuck” Ron Pearlman out here using exceedingly correct grammar to be a badass

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@traverserred]

Ripley is gonna give birth to an egg on Earth and cause a whole hybrid Alien War.

[@belvagurr403]

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

[@stevenbolstridge596]

In my personal opinion this one is very underrated!

[@AaronPinero]

This director has an incredible distinct style. His movies are not always great watches, but they are incredibly provocative and visually stunning. I remember being familiar with the director when I first saw this movie, so some of the craziness wasn’t surprising. I knew what I was in for.

[@MichaelJohnsonAzgard]

"I'm the monster's mother" is the best line in any Alien film.

[@simondunn3555]

I think "I'm the monster's mother" as a line is certainly up there, but "Get away from her you BITCH!" has it beat hands down.

[@vincentdesjardins1354]

"Get away from her you b*tch" is still up there for me. As for "monster's mother" like everything good in Resurection it was forever spoiled and tainted by this god awful mess of a third act.

[@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.

[@aronh4885]

Yessss finally! The quadrilogy completed!

[@mikemartin8461]

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

[@Robert_Douglass]

38:38 "I'm okay. No, really. I feel good.". So even a host to a chestburster can experience false labour, huh? 😊🤣🤣

[@RainCorbyn]

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

[@tonyyul703]

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

[@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.

[@mikemartin8461]

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

[@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.

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

[@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. 🤷🏽‍♂️

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.

[@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...

[@maxpheby7287]

If you guys like the lore then Prometheus is going to be an errr interesting watch.

[@samythekay]

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

[@CosmicQuillPublishers]

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

[@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.

[@yoshana87]

Guys, I've been waaaaiting for you to watch this one. There's not a lot of people reacting to this because I do think the Alien fanbase probably tells them to stop at Aliens. But you two are so good at film analysis and breaking things down and I've been REALLY looking forward to hearing your take on it. I like Resurrection only because of the Ripley superhero kind of aspect but the heart and purpose of the story is missing. It's sort of in the realm of AVP where its a fun outlandish popcorn type film but a lot of Alien fans don't really consider this, as well as 3, part of the cannon of 1 and 2. As I've gotten older watching this franchise, you really have to look at each film completely separate from each other as a stand alone movie. That's my best way to appreciate them. But Aliens is the only sequel that respects and understands the origins and improved upon it. It should've ended there. love you guys and now its time for Prometheus hahaha

[@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.

[@Shadowfan.24]

I’m happy Romulus made an improvement.

[@IH8YH]

Dont be sorry.... this is what EVERYONE watching that movie thought back then like "oh this is pretty good so far!..............wtf?"

[@theseageek]

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

[@joshscott6914]

"This was different" is a hilarious review.

[@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

[@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.

[@nomad_effect]

Ron perlman, as always, was amazing in this movie

[@Robert_Douglass]

26:49 _"Earth, man....what a shitehole!"_ If you'd chosen to watch the Special Edition, all the way through to the end, you'd have seen just how much of a "shitehole" Earth has become in the 24th Century of the Alienverse.

[@entertainmentwizard2703]

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

[@kblixt]

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

[@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... 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@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! ❤❤

[@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

[@DBM1234-d1f]

💪🙏 Guys, when you get to ALIEN COVENANT, (which is the most recent Alien movie) see PROMETHEUS first, which is the prequel.

[@76marex]

i would say Prometheus is the prequel from all Alien movies, besides the AvP thing

[@lordcabrito]

Prometeus Is awfull and Covenant absoluta garbage. I hope they never watch that shit.

[@toddhill7483]

Good tip. Loved Prometheus and have an appreciation for Covenant.

[@Hambie76]

And when you've watched those two train wrecks you can safely revisit this film and smile while thinking of the good 'ol days when people actually put effort into these movies. Trust me, you'll have a whole new appreciation for this after watching one android tell another to blow while he does the fingering. And that is merely one part of two very poorly written movies where characters make obviously stupid choices. It will be aggravating.

[@jsonkody]

For me Prometheus & Covenant are worst alien movies ever made 😢 .. shocking that they were made by Ridley Scott himself. PS: even avp1&2 was more fun and make more sense. Only good thing about Covenant is Michael Fassbender 😢

[@cassandramcbride7007]

Sadly theres things in the book that was cut or couldnt be add in the movie. -like Johner bitterness towards Vriess. All of the betty crew, except Call, were military and fought in certain war (again thats why Johner doesnt like the idea of earth) and Christie was ambush and Vriess came to save him, but he fall in a trap and lost his legs. Christie didnt want to leave Vriess behind and came to save him. Johner got his scar because of that. Thats why he is a little bitter. -The memories that alien queen share with ripley, in the book, both were confuse with their memories. The queen had memories with newt, (she doesnt exactly know who newt was, except that ripley, destroy her colony because of her) and ripley had with the aliens and newt (at some point she doesnt know, if newt is her child or not, because she remember newt saying mommy) -the psychic link that the aliens have. before they escape, the queen give permission for the aliens to kill the little alien, to run off. while she give the permission, the queen was trying to calm the little alien. Thats why ripley always knew certain moves of them. Ripley could hear their psychic link... so the line "i can hear them" she really did heard them. -The aliens never tried to kill ripley, they even assume she was one of them. They try to save her, before ripley run away and meet the betty crew. -The new born refusing the queen as mother, and accepting ripley as a mother. That part in the book is so interesting, because we have access to ripley, the queen and new born mind. Its so chaotic and confusing for them, and for us...
