99% of the special effects and set design still work in 2024. This is a classic.

[@victoriac4317]

That Zzavid comment omggggg💀sounds like something he would say about himself lmao

[@holyknight5466]

Their reaction to the Alien coming out of him and his reaction to it was an honest reaction, because the actors didn't know that would happen. 😆

[@melissayoung465]

That made me laugh so hard 😂

[@mandyb2245]

Fun fact: Only the director and John Hurt knew the chestburster scene was going to happen. The reactions of the actors around the table were genuine. They were really freaked out. That's what I've heard anyway. Jonesy rules! So does Milo.

[@miller-joel]

False urban legend. The scene is detailed in the script.

[@B-Dad]

The only truth is they had no clue what it would look like or exactly when it would burst. But they knew something like that was coming!

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

The only thing that the actors (Except Hurt) knew was that the script said, "The alien emerges". Yaphett Kotto even had to go close himself off from people after the scene because it had freaked him out. Everyone's reaction is 100% REAL.

[@miller-joel]

@@YolandaAnneBrown95726 False. AGAIN, the script has a detailed description of that scene.

[@Lostmonster]

They knew the alien was going to emerge but they didnt know what it would look like. The also weren't expecting the blood to squirt out at them.

[@stepitup25]

Because of you, I call Zzavid “Z.Z. Avid”. Glad to hear you continue to say his name wrong lol. Great horror reaction as always!

Remember 44 years ago there had been nothing like that before. Alien was the first. It genuinely freaked people out.

[@mjm3091]

Even the Thing was after this.

[@Raygathex]

Aliens is one of the best sequels ever made

[@Bluesit32]

It's brilliant because Cameron knew he couldn't replicate the feel of the original, so it took it in a different direction. More action oriented instead of suspense.

[@runninginharran]

@@Bluesit32 I find it amazing how you knew exactly what Cameron was thinking! Imagine that! gtfoh Because you did not provide anything to back up your statement, it's just an opinion. And everyone has an opinion. Next time, when you make a declaration, provide links, facts, and data to support your comments.

[@Bluesit32]

@@runninginharran You're right. Clearly Cameron watched Alien and thought the natural progression was to have the sequel be about space marines fighting hordes of them instead. Felt it fit perfectly with Ridley Scott's vision.

[@mcoupe69]

Kurt Russel is also an alien along with his Wife

[@Taramw32]

Or a vampire, but I agree

[@jamielandis4308]

Point of correction; this movie is not a cult classic, but rather the standard to which all of horror sci-fi is measured. The cat is onboard to help control vermin. As with sailing ships, spacecraft also get rats in the cargo.

[@davidrose2739]

LOVED your reaction to this classic. But now you MUST watch ALIENS (aka the sequel) and you definitely must watch the Director's Cut of that one also. It has over 20 minutes of additional footage, and it still amazes me how much good material ended up on the cutting room floor when they edited the film. Take care, and have a groovy day.

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

Totally agree.

[@user-vr6sd3cr9p]

Alien 1979 is a great movie. 45 years later. It still holds up. It is fun watching a first timer watch the movie. Here's to many more years of the Alien franchise.

[@Muckylittleme]

"You can't have a flame in space" Ever wonder what that orange thing in the sky is?

[@SpearM3064]

Except that it isn't really a big ball of fire. That's a misconception. The sun glows because it is a very big ball of gas, and a process called nuclear fusion is taking place in its core. Nuclear fusion occurs when one proton smashes into another proton so hard that they stick together... and release some energy as well. This energy then heats up the other materials (other protons and electrons and such) nearby. This heating eventually grows out from the center (or core) of the star to the outside, finally leaving the surface and radiating out into space to be the heat and light we know stars emit. People, including scientists, sometimes say that the Sun "burns hydrogen" to make it glow. But that is just a figure of speech. Hydrogen really doesn't burn, it fuses into helium.

[@TheBeardSpeaks]

well stars are plasma so great observation Neil Degrasse Tyson

[@CC.CAPTURE]

Alex is the alien because they both have “A” at the beginning of their names

[@Ghostface1998]

The alien is such an iconic creature design and boy was it at its peak with the original with how scary it was. The chest bursting scene was actually hidden from the rest of the actors so their reactions to when it happened were real. The face huggers are so disgusting and having acid blood I mean like cmon it’s so good. A shame the franchise stepped away from the horror in the sequels and chose to focus more on action. So I’m glad the new alien movie coming out will return to its horror roots. Aliens is a great sequel tho.

[@sharonellis8776]

Please do part 2 - Aliens. It has more action, stunts and more Aliens !! xx

[@TheJerseyDevil13th]

I love these movies! After Aliens, they kinda went off the rails. I still think they're fun to watch, though. I'm excited for the new Alien movie coming out soon! 🤩

Spoiler Alert The funniest summary I ever read of this movie went like this: "Alien is about no one listening to the smart woman in a crisis so the only one who survives is the smart woman and her cat." I don't know where you come up with your twisted commentary (like 69ing a spider), but please keep it coming. It's hysterical. 🙂

It would be really fun to see you react to more movies in the series.

[@pillsburryDoughFun]

[@Oso_Bucco]

As a long-time Alien franchise fan, it tickled me watching your reaction to the chest bursting scene. The face-hugger will always remain as an irrational fear of mine.

[@Matrim42]

The mouth within a mouth isn’t a design flaw, it works just fine for them. Some animals on earth have similar setups, called “pharyngeal jaws,” though those don’t extend past the primary jaws.

[@serenitytoepper]

According to Google. This is the exact timeline in order. AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004) ... Aliens vs Predator: Requiem (2007) ... Prometheus (2012) ... Alien: Covenant (2017) ... Alien (1979) ... Aliens (1986) ... Alien 3 (1992) ... Alien Resurrection (1997)

[@New-tu3mn]

The subliminal sexual imagery you thought you saw in the film you actually did see. Alien, is laced with it. If you re-watch the film with that in mind, you’ll notice that subtle, and not so subtle, sexual imagery seeme nearly everywhere. Alien is based on the art of Swiss surrealist, H.R. Geiger, RIP. Google his name along with the term, ‘Necronomicon’. Geiger’s art is a mix of bio-mechanical horror, and strangely erotic imagery. Ridley Scott masterfully includes Geiger’s art to heighten the horror of the film. Fear, and sexual arousal both set the nervous system on high alert. They are two sides of the same coin, as it were. Scott laces Alien with erotic cues so to sub-consciously arouse the audience’s autonomic nervous systems. Then, when something scary does happen, it’s all the more fear inducing.

[@crazyratlady3026]

I was there in 1979, after "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters", i thought this would be a semi scary, fun little romp, man, was i wrong, it scared me for years. I never saw spider plants, the kind that are indoors, the same way again.😅

[@nostalgicstuff5552]

Subscribed now. I've been watching your videos without doing it.

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

I was 12 and had a balloon with me when I was watching this for the first time when it came out. When the Chest burster scene happened, I freaked out and let go of the balloon and it floated in the air and across the screen, freaking people out even more. Those were the days!

[@mjm3091]

Btw - your guesses about how everything looks like male and female parts. It's actually one of the design ideas behind Alien. Majority of the animals are either based on futuristic artist or human biology. With how fallic and r-wordy it is - it hits into some fears never really explored before in the movies. It's a twisted version of getting pregnant an giving birth, that sometimes freaks out people - especially men, who in this universe also can be the "victims". 29:20 The head is shiny probably to enforce all the fears about bugs. Also they really wanted to make it look alien. 32:50 For modern screenings - definitely, but back then our knowledge of epilepsy, especially from the movies wasn't as advanced. It had to been until very big events like for example when Pikachu made explosion in Porygon episode that caused multiple kids to have an attack, that special measures were added to movies and tv shows. 35:30 It's a mechanism used to catch the prey faster or to reach further. At least that's how it works in real world, as this is based on real fish, who do that to catch food. A second jaw like element.

6:10 Hey! I seen a video of a cat riding with its owner on a motorcycle. It even had its own little vest and helmet. 😸

[@jonmercano1138]

Uh oh, theatrical is the preferred 😂 Ridley stands by it. He only did the Director’s Cut because they asked him to. The biggest difference is the cocoon scene in the middle of Ripley running to the escape pod “A giant spider 69ing his head” I mean…🤣 I’ve also always thought that image was an eye and a little frown! Jazz hands scare gets another one! 😂 The white stuff in Ash is circulation fluid. The thing that shoots out of the alien’s mouth is called a pharyngeal jaw, which is a real thing some animals have, like moray eels Apprently Jones is Ripley’s, according to an old trading card. An in universe tech manual says his official purpose is rodent control on the ship “And we just live happliy ever after?! How are there sequels?!” 😒😐 Wait, you’re calling it a cult classic as a joke, right? Because it isn’t. Just a classic.

[@buckbeak72]

Alien is an actual Classic! 100%

[@GrudgesXYZ101]

Trivia: Fun fact the Xenomorph/alien's were based off ants. The reason why is because the aliens have a queen and the stages of the aliens are the stages of an ant along with the way they act the aliens are the guards that protect the eggs and queen plus the queen spends time laying a bunch of eggs. Just like an ant queen pretty cool huh.

[@MS.Marie82]

You can have an explosion in space. Watch the episode where the Mythbusters tested whether you could shoot a gun in space... Long story short, if you had a ship explode in the vacuum of space, the explosion would be HUGE!

[@jamesoblivion]

Fun fact: The Director's Cut is a director's cut in name only. Ridley Scott agreed to do an alternate version for Fox, but he still prefers the theatrical cut. Some of the model-based vfx shots are kind of compromised on the Director's Cut, as well, with slight motion judder that was not present in the original version. I also don't think the cocoon scene really fits where they crammed it in, either. It's like a big brick wall in the middle of the race-against-the-clock pacing. The theatrical cut is just better, is what I'm saying, I guess. 😆

[@melissayoung465]

Thank you to Janell for requesting this and thank you to two other of my favorite reactors Zzavid and Mr. Movies for recommending this. I'm glad you finally watched Alien! Please do Aliens in the near future.

[@miller-joel]

In this case, the "director's cut" is no such thing. It's not even canon. It was a marketing scam by the studio. In the case of Aliens, it's the opposite. The special edition is the preferred version, the original story written and filmed by Cameron, and the one he intended the audience to see.

[@kaidt5861]

Lol, you would not leave David alone this episode. This is a classic for good reason & I'm glad a new person thinks it holds up, too.

You can absolutely have explosions in space. All an explosion is is a rapid expansion of matter, usually gas or plasma. In this particular case, it was a nuclear reactor going supercritical. Effectively just a big nuclear explosion.
