Alien & Aliens are Historic Achievements

[@AntLeonardi01]

Alien is a masterpiece. It holds up to modern movies incredibly well. You could show it to kids today and it would still scare them.

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

100%

In the Director’s cut of Alien, in one of the most overlooked scenes, the Alien is seen in full form hanging from the chains above Brett as he walks through the engine room. It’s only for .5 a second, and it’s just slowly rocking back and forth in the chains - but it’s clear to see.

[@damianstarks3338]

These two movies are sci fi horror masterpieces happy to see you guys reviewing these movies.

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

A couple of our all time favorites!

[@karanvirkooner1993]

The laserdisc release has extended scenes of Brett’s death the nest discovery scene and the death scene of Parker and Lambert

[@karanvirkooner1993]

the USCSS Nostromo has tight spaces and it’s cramped interior is very hostile which makes it the perfect setting

[@karanvirkooner1993]

H.R Giger Chris Foss and Rob Cobb were a part of the creative team that attempted to bring Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Dune to life

[@MaxBarton]

One of the original concepts for the first Alien movie is the xenomorph did have a short lifespan, and that's why it's moving so much slower at the end of the movie.

I hate to say it but I have never seen this movie yet. This video made me want to watch it immediately!

Check it out! They’re a couple of the goat movies

Fun fact: Lambert is one of the first trans character in film. A brief crew description on a computer in Aliens says, "Despin Convert at birth (male to female). So far no indication of suppressed traumas related to gender alteration".

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Whoa! Never knew that!

The egg movie poster is one of the most iconic movie posters ever!

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Absolutely!!!

[@vpreggie]

…and the movie trailer is a masterpiece.

[@dylano3163]

Im only 23 so I didn't get the chance to watch these in theaters... But watching these movies growing up are what got me into movies. The second was My favorite and never watch the first for years cause as a kid I thought it was boring, but when I did watch it for the first time it still scared tf out of me. They did a great job always hiding the alien in plain sight.

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Agreed these are some of the best films ever made

[@Grnrvrklr]

I’m surprised you never mentioned the diner scene from Spaceballs when John Hurt re-enacted his scene from Alien. Also that James Cameron also casted Jenette Goldstein in T2.

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Yes she's the step mom right!?

"I keep this for close encounters"

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Great quote 👏

[@shokyle]

IMO the only monster designs that came even close to the xenomorph are the Demogorgon from stranger things, the Pale Man, and The Thing. And you could make the argument that Rob Bottins special effects alone for The Thing make the monster exceed the Xenomorph

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Have you seen the tomorrow war? The creature design is incredible too

First iconic female action hero? Does nothing Pam Grier did counts as action? I would argue Ripley is more iconic but still not the first. I doubt Pam was the 1st as well though. That lane existed before but Ripley took it higher yeah.

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Absolutely, that’s why we said in mainstream movies that had big budgets 👌
