I know this is an old comment, but my answer to this has always been the series is called “ALIEN” *not* “Ripley”. Let her story be done with Aliens, and let the universe continue without her.

"Ripley, Hicks, and Newt make it back to Earth safely and live as a family. It leaves the question of what would be the inciting incident to drive Alien 3." That's actually very simple: Have them return to Earth, and after a timeskip, they're approached by someone (CIA, ECA, whatever works) who works for whatever government exists in this universe and recruits them to return to LV-426 to mess up the Company, which has built a base there and has been experimenting with Xenos under the government's noses.

Bit of trivia: Carl Chase who plays Frank Ellis was a good friend of my sister Fran (passed of cancer in 2018). I've actually met him, a bit of a character, but a really nice guy. I asked him about the shoot, and he signed for me. My sister was a singer in her spare time (a GP in her day job) and she met Carl as he loves open mic nights, live music etc. He's been in Red Dwarf too as old Lister. He got on brilliant with Fincher and knew that Fox, and David Giler (a power hungry, unreasonably nasty little dickhead according to Carl) were on his case. Carl told me Fincher found support with Charles Dutton, Pete Postlethwaite, Brian Glover and Charles Dance (who were very good friends, being both Yorkshire men). The cast had real camaraderie, as the sets, and atmosphere were very oppressive. Ralph Brown and Paul McGann were constantly asked about Withnail & I by Fincher between takes (who adores that film so much, he wanted to cast Richard E. Grant as Clemens as well, a mini Withnail reunion) , and it was funny at lunchtimes when all the "prisoners" are sitting together and Tom Woodruff would join them in the Alien suit without the tail and head! some interesting bts stuff. I asked him why didn't he look up the access pipe and check for aliens before climbing up with a flare and bucket of explosive slop!

A remnant of a deleted scene shown in the comic book adaptation (and possibly filmed) - the queen chestburster comes out of Newt's mouth (revealing it had originally infected her) in the half-sunken EEV, crawled over to Ripley and entered her mouth. It would have solved the problem of who the chestburster infected, but raises other continuity problems (namely, changing the biology of the chestburster itself).

The fact this movie manages to even exist is honestly evidence of how amazing Fincher is. All the studio interference could have made something like Mortal Kombat Annihilation 😮

Always enjoyed Alien 3, but the Assembly Cut only confirmed what I already knew. There was a great film in there waiting to get out. Whatever your feelings on the film, you can't deny that it signalled the arrival of a great talent. It should be absolutely unwatchable, but because they couldn't take away Fincher's abilities, it is never less than watchable, and for me, better than everything to come since. Have recently given your videos a go and I'm highly impressed, keep it up boys - Dave.

there is no cgi in this movie except for one shot... so ALL of the alien footage is either a guy in a suit or a puppet... the composition/blue screen is terrible, but watching the behind the scenes of the Alien puppet, with like 4 puppeteers operating the creature is fucking amazing... also, the autopsy showed EVERYTHING, every detail, but the studio thought it was too much to show...

I would make the arguement that the single best line in the whole film is one word from Morse. After Andrews is killed in the vent and everyone is cowering, horrified into silence; Morse breaks the silence with a single "Fuck!", and a subtle little head shake.

Great channel, guys. Love the long form review format!

The score is very grand and sweeping - it's fitting for what I consider the final chapter of the Alien Trilogy. This is the perfect ending to a horror story, exactly in agreement - this tale was never meant to have a happy ending. Elliott Goldenthal composed the score for Tom Cruises "Interview With The Vampire" in 1994. I've really enjoyed your reviews - I watched The Thing reviews last night, back to back. On a side note, I think I read somewhere that Sigourney Weaver has family in England, on her mother's side. She's probably pretty at home with English actors.

Considering the queen ditched her egg sack laying thingy to chase after Ripley contradicts how a face-hugger ends up on the ship. What would have been more interesting is after Ripley does her whole wastefulness of ammo in the hive! The camera could have focused on just one egg that was intact, could of laid a strong foundation for the queen planting this on the Sulaco as you don’t see the queen until it steps out from the landing gear.

I absolutely love Alien 3. It's fits so well within the hostile dark future time of the Alien universe. It's brutal, horrible but beautiful. I actually wish they would do a 3rd cut. There's great bits in the Theatrical Cut that need bringing into the Assembly Cut.

I never believed Charles Dance’s character’s explanation on why he was imprisoned solely because of the scene with the superintendent who warns him if Ripley knew why he was convicted that she would want nothing to do with him. This statement doesn’t sound to me like he got high and botched an operation but, perhaps, he did something more sinister. It would be typical of Ripley and her run of bad luck to hook up with the Sex Slayer of Sector Six. BTW, I enjoy your reviews immensely.

Very underrated and never understood why Fincher doesnt want to talk about it. Feels like the guy has been traumatized by the studios interference. It is amazing that he still achieved to make this movie as a debut director when people thought he was just an assistant when he first showed up on set. I also want to note that the CGI shots are not CGI by definition. Its not done digitally, but rather done using old school faking. I do agree that they look bad but it never really bothered me that much. Saw this at teathres when i was 13 and it left such an impression on me i will never forget. Alien was so original and started everything (best sci-fi and monster ever!), but I could agree with Gary here and this might just be the best Alien movie out there. For me, the Alien story stops here with the trilogy. Alien 4 was a joke and a cash grab. :(

Alien 3 it's existentialism drama

The one thing that's always bugged me about these movies. What the heck ended up happening to Jonesy? He got left on Earth in Aliens, did he live the rest of his life in a kennel or something? The one loose thread that as far as I know remains a mystery to this day.

All the other Alien movies have airlocks in them except for maybe Prometheus but this one does not have the alien being ejected from an airlock

22:05 I've just had a realization! Maybe it's a tribuite to another great but underrated third entry in a horror franchise! Here's the hint: "Where do you want to sleep, Dr. Challis? That's a dumb question, Miss Grimbridge."

Couldn’t agree with you more lads. It’s somber and depressing but deliciously feral in its imagery of the xenomorph. Great character depictions and arguably the best riveting score in the franchise

From what I saw from the first Alien is that a facehugger has one egg to impregnate a host. It can’t do two. So Newt wasn’t facehugged lol. And to do it again to a dog or ox was against their biology.

Just being nitpicky...... but Alien 3 was released in 1992, not 1993.........:)

Thanks for this review. I have never understood why people love Alien but hate Alien3. I've always thought both films are not so different. I respect but have never swooned over the first film, though. It was too slow during the first half, and most characters were flat-out boring. I therefore prefer Alien3 to Alien, as the threat is apparent from the beginning and I liked the characters a little more. I wept for Newt and Hicks though. I respect the ending but seeing Ripley die tore my heart out. I love Aliens most. It is in my TOP10 list of favourite films ever. It is the perfect mix of action, interesting stories, cool characters, strong lead characters, emotional investment, suspense, etc. So, I guess, my ranking list goes Aliens > Alien3 > Prometheus > Alien > Alien: Ressurection. I have not watched Alien: Covenant yet, though.

I think because this movie is too cynical. You can have all kinds of dark movies, but somehow, at least one character has to stand for something better, for some kind of applied idealism. And that is what I miss in this movie. For example, to kill off Newt, is just too much after her ordeal in the last movie. She earned her rescue. And now in this she is killed off screen. It’s too much...

Lots of debate about how and when the egg got onto the Sulaco. What isn’t shown in the film is the return docking procedure of the drop ship back into the cargo bay. That would have taken some time and left plenty of time for the queen to drop an egg.... somewhere. Although why it’s hanging upside down at the start of Alien 3 I’m baffled.

Gotta say, you hit the nail right on the head with the funeral / birth scene. The Assembly cut lacks the power of the theatrical version. Just something about that speech, with the score and then the alien tearing out of that poor dog as Dylan says "...comes new life..." It's perfect.

Always liked the 3rd movie, despited of ppl saying it's a crap, I think for some one it's great on subconscious level, they just liked it like me and for others it's not because of that heroes death and bla bla bla, most if not all things said in this review are correct, but thanks to it now I know exactly why I loved it first place, seems all this was also on subconscious level )

seriously, this was taken down. I knew something was missing... gosh, youtube is going to hell.

Six years late, but I wanted to say it's still pleasant to encounter a review of this film that appreciates it so well!! (Though, puzzled at your attempt to create plausibility re: _not_ banging Charles Dance. Very bizarre.)

David Twohy at one point was one of the writers hired to work on a screenplay for this sequel. Like that of his later film Riddick, it would have been a spin-off with the hero not battling extra-terrestrial monsters from the previous films, but the Fiorina prisoners. Needless to say, it ended up in the Twentieth-Century Fox round file.

The fact that Newt and Hicks are dead does make Ripley seem more alone. So I understand that. However I do think that they made a mistake. People would have accepted Newt as the new Ripley. The character of Newt could have continued the franchise in a better way than they have now.

Great Retrospective guys. Sorry for the Necroposting but I've been going through a lot of creators' reviews on Alien3. After recently viewing this movie again last year with my older Daughter, I agree that it has aged very well. The VFX would be a fun fan project to give a facelift to. I would love for this to one day be retconned as a hyperspace nightmare, (Bloomkamp got robbed. Still salty at Ridley Scott for that one.). I'll leave you with my silly fan theory about "Bishop II': Red blood - He was a Custom Cyberdyne model from the Skynet years centuries prior. Weyland Yutani never throws anything away! How's that for a crossover?!

I was so relieved to see the nihilism of alien3. We all want to be heroes and save the day.. but we just can't. When faced with a threat like the Alien. It's just death.

Only seen the OG cut of A3 once; which was many many years ago now and I never understood why it got such a hard time....... I guess it's nice to know that time is kind to some 'mis-treated' greats and that they get their due love & credit in time (none more-so than 'The Thing', but also personal fave Halloween 3 seems to be getting a few flowers now people have slowly got over their "wot no Michael"-isms).

I think Alien 3 is getting better with age. Even though the CGI is dated, the cinematography, direction and character development is perhaps better than Aliens. I still hold Alien above all, but I would actually watch Alien 3 before Aliens.

Neatly, this one is a guilty pleasure. I enjoyed this one and will watch it whenever it is on Telly. The acting is top notch and there were so many behind the scene reasons why no hicks. It solidified my David Fincher fandom and I make no apologies for that.

I am so happy to have seen so much love for both versions of ALIEN 3, I agreed with all the points of this video because all of them have been my defense for it throughout the years.

The ox is not dead when the chest burster hatches. It clearly starts moving and struggling just before. No different to Kane in Alien and the colonist in Aliens, it is simply comotosed after being impregnated. It's strung upside down, so it just can't move that much. And the prisoners aren't exactly bothered enough to check if it's alive, so just assume "Oh, it just keeled over and stayed unresponsive, so it must be dead."

Lol its not cgi its all puppets imposed in the shot

Best review of Alien 3 I have watched. You guys rule! The movie is far from perfect, but I think the Assembly Cut does a good job with the script. I think Fincher needs to lose his hubris about the movie and the experience and bury the hatchet; FFS, it has been 30 years since this film came out in theaters!!! I would love to see a Director's Cut, from Fincher.....also, I think Vincent Ward's story idea was very interesting, but it probably would have been a commercial bomb. And despite not doing great in the US, Alien 3 was a financial success because it made good money overseas and strong rentals. Alien and Aliens are always the favorite, but Alien 3 AC, is always going to be the 3rd favorite for me.

I love Alien 3, but I don't think it's better than Aliens IMO, which is my favorite of the bunch. But to each their own. I've heard that some people like Alien 3 the best. I'm just I found 2 guys who actually like Alien 3 as much as I do, and the Theatrical Cut, too!!

It’s hard to follow two classic films and most third films are always the least favorite of the 3 movies

The colour of the dog alien is due to the dog breed which is a rottweiler who's black and brindle brown hence the alien looks like it changes colour it's taken on more characteristics than any other alien in the series.

The only channel that doesn't beat this film to death. I've never understood all the hate except for killing off the characters between films, which pissed me off. Otherwise it's a great movie.

When watching this movie I get alittle mad just because I think the studio should have stayed out of the movie then maybe it would have been a better movie

The bit around 7:45(ish) onward I was sort of on board for, at least in a thematic/motivational sense. Bit too much reliance on outside sources that had nothing to do with the writing of the movie though. Who would ever accept the idea that one must first play a video game or read a comic or novelization (not written by the same hand that penned the script) to get something out of a movie?

Great movie, but I can't get past the deaths of Newt and Hicks. After all they went through its a complete kick in the nuts for them to be killed off.

I didn't realize those were CGI. I thought those were all puppets with bad blue screen compositing. It's been a while since I last watched it, though.
