I knew Asia wouldn’t disappoint. If you think this was rough, imagine seeing it in the theater in Dolby Stereo back in ‘79. People were passing out, running out, yelling at the screen. It was insane. It’s kind of normal now, but there was nothing like this before 1979. We weren’t ready.

[@Cherokeelion]

We were NOT ready! It was fantastic haha

[@deeasztalos2520]

I was there back then too! I was scared just walk into the theater.

[@grandpabrogan]

Yes, we were NOT ready! I saw it in a movie theatre when it first came out - and all I remember were the eggs. I must've blocked all the rest from my memory, haha. I have seen it since - to refresh my memory! 😅

[@davewildermuth7519]

The alien itself gets only four minutes of screen time in this movie. That's how friggin scary it is.

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

💯

[@lh7254]

It's much scarier the less you see it! That's just one of the things I love about this movie.

[@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat]

lol, it gets 4 minutes of screen time because it's a guy named Larry wearing a bunch of cut up bicycle tires. It's the same story with Jaws and it's an accidental lesson that modern film makers have never had to learn because they can pay for CGI to be on screen in every single shot.

[@Scrungly127]

@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoatit’s actually an incredibly skinny African dude named balaji I think, and the alien suit was full body with animatronics and worked incredibly well, they just didn’t use it in the movie because they didn’t have to. It builds suspense when you don’t see it.

[@johnmc3862]

That’s more than jaws. 😂

[@barrymoreblue]

My parents went and saw this in the theaters. My dad watched it first. When he went with my mom, he wouldn’t buy her popcorn and their friend thought he was just being mean and bought some for her, instead. When the alien burst out of the guy’s chest, my mom threw popcorn everywhere, lol. My dad said that was why he didn’t buy her any, lol.

is this here a different cut ?

[@deezee2965]

@@stefankrautz9048 Yes there is. It was made around 2003 and it is almost the same lengh and showcase some variations in some scenes. It is not better or worst but mainly dufferent on a superficial level. "Special Edition" it was called I think. It is not a director's cut.

[@SeanATX]

Ash being an android is one of the greatest twists in film history. Genius

[@Dagobah359]

Just in case no one has shared this, the way the director filmed the alien-bursting-out-of-the-chest scene was brilliant. He told the cast to get close, and the first props were set to go off very weakly, with little movement/blood. The second time they went to film it, the cast got closer like he told them, and then the props went off full. Those reactions were real. The cast was freaked out.

[@losmosquitos1108]

Right, except it was only Veronica Cartwright (Lambert) who was not informed by director Ridley Scott, to get her native reaction. 😀

Even the aesthetic of this movie is a timeless theme now. The kind of grunge 70's techno future vibe.

[@leoayala131]

Guys - Don't forget to watch Aliens (part 2) after this. Most sequels don't live up to expectations but part 2 is really worth watching. It is non-stop thrills, action and suspense. Your adrenaline will be pumping. Very different than part 1, but in a great way. All the other Alien movies, part 3, 4, alien vs. predator, etc, are entertaining for sure, but NONE match the directing prowess of Ridley Scott and James Cameron. Not even close. If you want to stop after Aliens, that's a good call. The others are good, just not great.

[@DonnaCPunk]

The Assembly Cut of Alien 3 is actually a pretty good film. Saw it a few months ago and it loads better than the theatrical. Would have been a great end to the trilogy but someone had the bright idea for Alien: Resurrection.

[@jeffrogers2180]

Even Stephen King agrees that this is one of the scariest movies ever made. It’s certainly a masterpiece. I saw this at the tender age of 13. It was my first R-rated movie. Nobody had ever seen a movie like this before. Scarred our fragile little minds and we LOVED it! Mother is the ship’s computer.

[@deborahcornell171]

Jonesy the cat tried to warn them at least twice. When Brett went to get him he was hiding, hissing & scared. Brett didn't even look behind him till it was too late. And when Ripley was safely in the shuttle (or so she thought), ready to leave, Jonesy was growling again. He knew the alien was in there. Whenever there's a cat or dog in a scary movie, they usually try to alert the people...hissing, growling, barking etc. And we silly humans (the characters, at least) ignore them. Just like the characters always split up instead of staying together. Oh, well. If they didn't do those things I guess it wouldn't be much of a scary movie. Less suspense, less hand-wringing & fingernail chewing.👀🤣

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

[@rinhyugaa6565]

To be fair if all of them were together they probably would've been butchered all at once together and no one would've survived

[@blaseblah204]

To think that this masterpiece was made for 4.2 million or about 20 million in today's dollars. It goes to show that you don't need expensive CGI to create an outstanding film of any genre. Tight directing, eerie music score, and a pace that let's the movie breathe, is all you need.

@@blaseblah204 Practical effects often work much better than the CGI anyway, more realistic and much cheaper when done correctly...

[@blaseblah204]

@@dawb86 Obviously CGI wasn't available in 1979. If they'd made this today, only as a low budget film would they not fill this with the so real looking- it actually looks fake CGI that is almost required now. It's not hard to scale back the micro chip effects for something a little less sleek, but a little more hard core looking. This movie was a testament to Ridley Scott, and his technical genius, for making so much, out of so little.

[@chriscorbin1926]

The chest burster scene is probably one of the greatest scenes in movie history….people were getting sick and running out of the theaters. The actor that played Parker was so traumatized from just filming the scene he actually spent like 2 weeks in his room not wanting to talk to anyone

[@PygmalionFaciebat]

Thats also because the director James Cameron didnt told details about the chest burster-scene. Also the blood-splattering wasnt told to the actors, so a lot of things indeed came by surprise to the actors. The shock and surprise on their faces are real, and the director kept that footage in the movie, so it feels more realistic, and its even more relatable for the audience. Its another reason why we are really suckd into that movie, and are on the edge of our seats the whole time. Its somehow like watching a life stream of good friends going through a horrifying experience and we can do nothing about it.

[@jazzx251]

@@PygmalionFaciebat the director for this one was Ridley Scott .. James did the next one, ALIENS An easy mistake to make, as they are both brilliant directors who have both made classics (ALIEN and ALIENS respectively, lol)

[@ArnoldoRangel]

The reaction, shock and surprise is real. They didn't know that was gonna happen none of the actors were told. So the horror in their faces was genuine.

[@mythdefied9070]

That was the late Sir John Hurt. He reprised this scene to great comedic effect in Spaceballs, 9 years later. He was one hell of an actor, even taking on the roll of the Doctor briefly just before he passed. RIP to a legend.

[@weldonwin]

Nancy Cartwright who played Lambert, well, that was REAL pig's blood they got sprayed with and she caught the worst of it. She was absolutely PISSED at Ridley Scott, who spent the rest of the day steering well clear of her.

[@dx315]

I love when people actually get into the movies instead of stay annoyingly detached so they can make snarky comments 🤣 great vid

[@SuburbanSavage]

Fun fact: When Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) shoots the Alien (Bolaji Badejo) out of the shuttle, he was sitting on a rolling chair and the crew just yanked him back. When she turns on the engines, it's just lights and water that created the effect. Bolaji Badejo was a graphic designer from Nigeria and was discovered in a British pub, as they needed someone who was extremely tall and thin to fit into the costume. It was his only role.

[@s.jackson8098]

Here's something interesting: all the characters were written so they could be played by either female or male actors. That's why they all had single names that didn't imply any gender: Ripley, Dallas, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash, Kane. That's just one of the things that made this such an unusual script.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

Also Ripley and Lambert were supposed to be a couple originally, and Ripley was supposed to die in the end.

[@VinchenzoC]

Or race.

[@dramspringfeald]

ALSO!! She got the roll be cause she was a 6'1 lanky tomboy and scarroused the director in casting. She came in lifted boots, jeans and towered over everyone

[@SurvivorBri]

And the cat was named Jones. Odd name for a cat but that was consistent with the script.

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

Adds a feeling of being equally expendable - doesn't matter who's on that ship out there - makes it extra spooky.

In the years between "Alien" and "Terminator" we had "Blade Runner." That's another big hit movie that helped establish a new genre of science fiction.

Blade Runner is in my top 5 favorite movies. Rutger Hauer at his most beautiful, great story, great cast.

[@lonelyboy1977]

Blade Runner was NOT a hit movie; it was a box office flop. And frankly, it's a terrible adaptation of Philip K. Dick's novel, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?

[@SG-js2qn]

@@lonelyboy1977 How many flops get a sequel, especially one many years later? And a Director's Cut? You make it sound like nobody liked it and nobody cared, when it is referenced quite a bit. IMO, it was not received well because of the odd title, which has almost nothing to do with anything, and the fact that it is like a mix of noir detective and scifi, but without really embracing the noir tropes, nor being a special effects laden action movie. Which is why it is considered a cult movie. I'd say it's a hit, not for box office, but for its impact on the written science fiction that followed.

[@Pintail16]

I swear to God, you two kids are killing me! I'm laughing so hard I cant breathe, this is precisely the reaction folks had when this movie was released appx 45 years ago....

Fun Fact, in the lore, Wayland Yutani requires the crew of their ships to pay for the meals they eat, drink, etc. Except for Coffee. There's an unlimited Coffee Service for those that work for WY :p Also, another fun fact, the actors weren't shown or told what specifically would happen during the scene except for the fact Kain will die and the alien will appear. :p

[@frankensteinlives5451]

Fun fact. The actors did NOT know about the chest bursting scene. Their looks of shock and revulsion we're genuine. The director ( I believe), wanted real reactions, and I dare say, he got it! Loved your reactions! Peace!

[@hurricane1951]

Actually, they knew generally what was going to happen. They had seen the little puppet the crew had constructed. But when they went to the set and everything was covered in plastic (even the crew) their stress level shot through the roof. They certainly weren't prepared for the amount of blood.

[@InjuredRobot.]

@@hurricane1951 correct. Tom Skerrit showed up early on set and took a peek at what they were setting up. Also, on the first take the chestburster didn't rip through Kanes Tshirt and had to be reset for a second take. The spraying blood freaked out the actors more than anything else. All of this in the books/interviews/documentaries but people always comment that the actors had NO IDEA. Peace out.

[@rbrearey]

What made it into the movie was a mix of the 1st and 2nd take. The 1at take ends when the puppet doesn’t break through John Hurt’s shirt. The 2nd take is Veronica Cartwright getting squirted in the face and falling backwards

[@blinkspacestudio8892]

[@jeremyphillips7827]

37:00 The signal wasn't to lure anyone _to_ the planet; it was to warn others _away._ If you go back to just after Dallas, Lambert and Kane left the ship and wandered out of communications range, you'll hear Ripley telling Ash that an analysis of the signal they received seemed to indicate that it wasn't a distress call at all but a warning message to warn others to stay away from the planet. Setting up that warning message must have been the last thing the giant alien ship pilot did before one of the creatures burst out of his chest.

[@tommycrawford6277]

Part 2 is considered one of the best sequels in history.

This movie was released in 1979...the year I graduated from High School. The special effects was ahead of anything ever done before it. Another movie that came out the same weekend as Aliens was "Prophecy" starring Robert Foxworth and Talia Shire. If you see Prophecy, you will understand how so far ahead the special effects was. You have to see Aliens which is the next movie to react to. You'll get some answers.

It is a great movie... but I would argue that "Star Wars" got there first in terms of effects (1977).

[@colonelb]

They made a video game a few years ago called *Alien: Isolation* where you play as Ripley's daughter sent to investigate what happened to her mother and come across a group of the Alien creatures on a space station. The game involves having to hide under desks and in closets and lockers and avoiding vents because the Aliens are hunting you and respond to noise so you have to walk slowly and quietly. It completely messes with you psychologically and is absolutely terrifying. Highly recommend. 😲

@@fredbeard8867 and you would be correct. I couldn't believe the first time it happened to me.

However, it was me talking loudly to my wife who was in another room. I've manged to get through the game a couple of times now as long as I don't make loud noises.

[@lethaldose2000]

Hey Asia and BJ, my favorite part of the movie is when they are in the lab trying to figure out the face-hugger. Fun fact Sam: The acid blood concept was added on set by the producers and design team. They wanted to add a reason why the Ash couldn't dare take the face-hugger off or outright kill the Alien creature. The molecular acid blood takes the Alien Xenomorph to a whole nother level.

[@BadlndsBob]

@@planetwatch0000 Once you've seen the third one, you know it has significant plot holes during the beginning of the film. Nonetheless, it is a very well made film. I think that part of the issue with the next Alien movies (3 onward) is that they have to be compared to the first two movies. That is a tough comparison for most sci fi films. Actually, I like A4 a lot. It has some great scenes. The water scene is intense and highly creative. The entire series has great acting.

The rest is crap is however not correct. Taste is like our behind its divided 😋🤗. I just love all the series included the new movies after Ripley ❤️🇧🇻 and i have seen them all since 79 many times ( many ). I was 17 in 79 😎

Sigourney Weaver was nominated for an Academy Award for best actress for Aliens, the 2nd Alien movie. It was a milestone for the Horror/Sci-fi genre.

[@got2bjosh]

This reaction cracked me up! “I’ll never drink milk again!”

[@tomseville2345]

I wouldn't have, had I been an actor in the first two Alien(s) films especially; they DID use milk and yoghurt for those scenes; the smell of the set after a few hours would be more horrifying than any creature you could create...

[@kobarsos82]

Truly a directing lesson, on how to "build up tension" in thriller movies. That's how movies should be made, show as little as possible, but keep pumping up adrenaline and building up right to the finish line. Right back in 1979 its absolutely INSANE how they made managed to pull this off with the technology of the 70s, and how this still holds up so well even in 2023. Mad quality of film-making. Just MAD. Ridley Scott. What a master. With this and blade runner, he showed everyone what can done in the sci-fi genre in the late 70s-early 80s. What a legend. Even today's films have huge trouble reaching this amount of quality in film-making.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

I love how excited you got watching ALIEN. It was really, really fun seeing this with you. Yes, Sigourney Weaver stars in ALIENS. This is one of the rare times where the sequel is equal to or better than the original. The cast is great, the story is great. This is gonna be a lot of fun - 'Looking forward to it - Peace

As a huge Alien fan, who's seen this movie so many times, I love watching it with people who haven't seen it to see their reactions... This was gold! Thank you very much! Now you should watch it with your friends to watch them lose their minds! It's great fun!

[@goldenagenut]

I first saw this when I was 14, a friend and I were going to camp out in the woods that night. His mom picked us up from the theater and asked if we were still going to camp out. We yelled, " NO WAY!!!"

[@PerfectHandProductions]

When you watch Aliens, ensure you watch the Special Edition (director's cut).

[@christinaseela6690]

A fun fact: the scene when everyone is at dinner and the Alien comes out of his Kane chest, the cast wasn't aware of what was going to happen. All reaction are real and just them acting. I remember my mom went to go and see it the movie theater and she said the movie scared her. Differently reaction to Aliens it will answer all your questions. And another movie to watch Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger, it's another good alien movie.

[@sheryljoel5052]

A bit of trivia - about that scene where the alien burst out of the guy's chest - none of the actors knew what was going to happen, so their scared reactions are GENUINE! Aliens (sequel is plural) is EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRST!!!! Ripley is a Rockstar superhero!

[@deeasztalos2520]

Remember the scene when Ripley went to see Ash and he had the picture of the growing little alien? When Ripley leaves he picks up a glass of what looks like milk - it wasn't milk.

[@oobrocks]

The Alien was inspired by the Ichneumon wasp: it injects her eggs into a host. When the eggs hatch, the mites eat their way out; meanwhile the host is alive :(

[@colin641]

When I was young my father would only watch this when I went to bed. Sometimes he'd use his surround sound and just laying in bed hearing the soundtrack and the film in general scared me to death. I think I had to be 6 years old when if I could watch Alien. One night he waited till the sun went down. Sat me on the couch and I watched Alien for the first time. My first horror movie. One of my favorite memories and films of my time. Even as a grown ass man I get cemented Watching this alone. Always great to see first timers watch Alien

You two never disappoint. Your Jaws reaction was fire, but this takes the cake. The looks on your faces, Asia's eyes getting wider every minute, BJ, literally shaking when that thing burst of the chest...you guys are fun to watch. I saw this in the drive in at the age of 7. TERRIFIED. But also LOVED it.

[@stanleyholder5825]

Your expressions during this movie were priceless! This is what makes reaction videos so entertaining! Thanks, guys!

[@scottfree641]

The look on Asia's face is comedy gold. Ash was a android where as an Android works similar to a robot it's an artificial life but all organ's are man made, the brain is a computer and not artificial flesh. But the company planted Ash there to get the life form and bring is back to the company for study at the expense of the crew. Where as a company can write up a work place death story later to cover there ass. And I forget who picks her up on the next movie but in this time period there's hundreds of companies working in space it happens in the not to distant future. I mean space is the last wild west there is. All it takes is one element or alloy to be discovered that the military can't live without and you'll witness hundreds of company's out there in real life. So high probability (without the alien) of course.

In the theatre back in '79, this movie scared the crap out of people. The suspense was unparalleled.

[@colinstevens2691]

Alien 2 (Aliens) is even better than this. You definitely have to watch the sequel. Out of all the alien films the second one is definitely the best in my opinion.

[@colinstevens2691]

@@carlossaraiva8213 I guess it just depends on your point of view, the first one is a suspense based film and you get to see very little of the alien, which was part of the brilliance of it (I think you saw it for less than a minute during the whole film) and it also had the shock value of the alien breaking out of the stomach. Don’t get me wrong, I think the first one is a masterpiece of suspense horror. I just prefer the second one because it moves at a faster pace and as you say, it is more actioned packed and you get to see more of the alien.

[@Paul-hl8yg]

I wouldn't say the second movie is better. Without the original, there would be no sequel. The first movie was a part of movie history, the second a great sequel to it.

[@byrontowles2018]

Several people mentioned it in the comments after you guys reacted to "Jaws", but if you want another movie that'll have you jumping out your drawers, react to "The Ghost & The Darkness". It's a 1996 movie based on the true story of two lions that terrorized railroad workers in Africa in 1898. They killed dozens of people.

[@JacobSantillan]

I love the setting. A lot of sci-fi up to that point had been of the high-minded type, to put it one way - idealists in pristine ships looking to boldly explore new worlds and such. Alien was the first to my knowledge to have the crew as more working-class types. The Nostromo wasn’t an exploration ship, but a commercial towing vessel - the crew were essentially space truckers hauling a load of ore back to Earth, wanting to drop it off and go about their lives until the next job came up. The Company obviously had other plans…

[@bluebird3281]

They had a good sci fi with working class characters called "Outlander" with Sean Connery about a cop on a mining colony that came out about two years later. (At least I remember it being good)

[@jamesscanlan6240]

No way I'm going back for a damned cat. A near perfect film though, from music to direction to the design of the alien. Saw this when it first came out with no idea what it was about and the chest bursting scene didn't just make people scream, it put them into shock. In a large, sold out theatre the response was electrifying.

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

Apparently, in one of the first screenings that many of the crew were at someone shouted out 'leave the fuckin cat' at that exact moment.

I highly recommend Ridley Scott's other SciFi classic from 3 years after this one, "Blade Runner". It used no CGI whatsoever but it's looks incredibly detailed. It stars Harrison Ford and it does take place on Earth.

"Let me tuck my feet in!" made me laugh out loud! A few years ago I went to see 47 Meters Down. I was literally the ONLY person in the big theatre. During the previews (post lights-out) was some dybbuk box horror movie trailer. Just that clip had me so terrified I was literally putting my feet up, kept turning around to see who was there, hiding my face in my coat and soooooo VERY close to high-tailing my butt right on out of that movie theatre!!! I did stay but was so terrified it took me a good 15-20 minutes into my movie before I was able to calm down and focus on what I actually came to see!
