One of the great mysteries of cinema - what I heard was, Cameron was planning to include the opening scene where Newt's family finds the alien eggs, plus the scene where they set up the automatic machine guns in the hallways to mow down a few of the aliens. But Cameron was ordered to cut out a lot of great scenes for "time" by the studio. The studio said they were worried the film would run too long in theaters and cut in to their other films in release at the time! Considering the abysmal quality of most films in 1986, (other than Platoon and Top Gun) I'd add they had little to worry about.

It was immediately compelling to hear how you happened to watch Aliens at an important moment in your personal history. My mom, who had Parkinson’s disease, and I went to see it in the theater. Sci-Fi and horror were definitely not her typical genres, but I’d already seen it once, and convinced her to give it a chance, Though the film’s intensity caused her tremors to increase dramatically, she was extremely enthusiastic about the film, even letting out an uncharacteristic “whoop” when Ripley finally managed to eject the Queen into space. It turned out to be the last time she was able to actually visit a theater, and is one of the happiest memories I have of her.

I love most of the cast like everyone else, but that's really interesting about Matthews' (Apone) experience in the Marines. There's a level of authenticity that you don't see in most fictional military depictions, and it makes so much sense that Aliens pulled it off because they went through training AND had a genuine Marine NCO in the cast. I'm surprised I didn't realize it before this video, as his portrayal reminds me of many of the NCOs I had personal experience with when I was in the army.

Ripley says: "It can't be, that's in the room." It's because Hudson is counting down the distance and she's questioning his readings, because if he's right they'd be right in front of them inside the room. She then snatches the scanner and checks for herself. That's when she realises where they actually are, right above them inside the ceiling.

"Get away from her you B**CH!" The scene where Ripley thunders onto the deck driving that walking forklift with a face SO full of maternal fury. I find it still the most epic one liner delivered with devastating skill in any one movie.

Thats why im not familiar with it.

10:03, James Horner did an impressive score to this movie, and if he were alive right now, he would have composed music for all the Marvel movies!

I was 10 when I saw Aliens, and it’s still my favorite movie

Unbelievable that this is one of the last of your treatments I have watched. It's like having eaten all the delicious candies in the dish and the very last one, buried by all the others, is the best. Your channel is a Top Tier subscription, and I make it a point to spend at least 30 seconds on all the ads, as much as I hate them.

Awesome Niyat! I love all of the videos, but these in-depth videos on older movies are the best. The explanation of production techniques and all the history is a really nice touch.

This movie scared the shit out of me when I first watched it and, considering the year that it was released, is still holy fuck mind blowing... One of my all time favorites.

You can hear this one comes from the heart..

What I loved about this film (besides the story, action and SFX) is the fact that the hardware such as weapons, vehicles, ships etc. are given a role. They are shown to the viewer, they have a name and they are cool. Also, there are so many of them! The Sulaco, the Drop-Ship, the Pulse-Rifle, the Smartgun, the APC, the Powerloader! They are not just mere "items" in the background like in most sci-fi films. They put effort in their design and they gave each item a story. Heck, even their Reeboks are cool!! (bought my 40th Ann. Alien Stompers recently) ;)

I love when you said this was your childhood man, movies like Alien, Predator, (Terminator and even RoboCop) was my childhood too, 90’s kid 🙋🏻‍♂️

This is actually my favorite Alien movie

The last great Alien movie, that is so sad.

Man I LOVE this movie. I have seen it numerous times and its great even today without any question. This movie inspired many other movies and videogames, especially my beloved Halo franchise. Marines from Halo are clearly inspired by marines from Aliens. Without Sgt. Apone there would not be Sgt.Johnson. The same could besaid about the design of dropships, spaceships, etc. Im very glad that you included scenes from Special Edition. They make the movie so much better. HUGE thank you Niyat for this awesome video. Great job as always.

I saw this in the theater when I was 11 yrs old. It is my favorite movie of all time. I watch it once a year faithfully. And quote it at least 100 times a year!

This, Godfather part 2, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade & T2 are my favorite sequels in movie history. Aliens is a great film. Sigourney Weaver gives one heck of a performance.

Great video as always, love your channel man ✌🏼

Always loved the Alien series, mainly the 1st and 2nd, I saw it as a child and thought it was amazing. Thanks for your awesome work 👍

What an incredibly in-depth look at a the greatest sci-fi franchise ever! Woke up this morning to see you uploaded this and it was worth every second!

You made me tear up a little. I totally understand having something nostalgic to reminisce no matter how dark some of it is. It’s like loving the memory, even the pain. Growing from it

It's incredible. Till this day.

Actually early for a change lol love the music you use in the background, very atmospheric.

thank you! This movie has always held a special place in my heart since i was a little girl and would watch it repeatedly with my dad. I can't wait til my own daughter is a little older, i wonder if she'll still take my plush facehugger to bed after watching the movies for the first time.

Like yourself, I too grew up watching this movie. I've lost count how many times I've seen this movie. I remember recording it on VHS from TV. This has to be my all time favourite and I recently watched this in 4K. Cant believe how much I missed due to unclear images. It was like rediscovering my favourite movie all over again.

James Cameron didn't just have a background in special effects, he was also an extremely accomplished graphic and architectural artist, as well. He not only completely designed the Terminator from the original film, he was also responsible for a majority of the storyboards, and a plurality of the conceptual designs of many of the vehicles, weapons, and buildings/environments shown in most of his movies. There's no question HR Giger deserves all the recognition in the world for the fundamental conceptual artwork for the Alien in the original film, and it's subsequent sequels, but Jim Cameron is an extremely proficient and inventive concept artist in his own right. And, his films are all better off, and we are all much better off as fans, because of that fact. 👍

Another fun fact I've heard: In Titanic, when Jack is drawing a nude Rose, the drawing was actually done by Cameron and the close-ups of Jack's hands doing the drawing are actually of Cameron's hands.

Your discretion of this film is almost exactly the same as mine! I was 7 when I first watched this ( hint hint family issues) I’ve flip flopped on this being my #1 for years! Actually at my wedding during a late night conversation with my cousin, I listed it as my #1 ! It’s now in my 3 spot , but still super influential. I’m 36 now so 1# goes to Terrance Malick’s “ the thin red line . # 2 is going to be Frank Darabont’s Shawshank 🤣

Hey bud, the prologue you gave about watching Aliens as a child, alone in the dark after family troubles really struck a chord. I too watched it at as a 10 year old by myself, in the dark on VHS. My parents were unhappily married with frequent hostility within the house. I remember the film just absolutely blowing me away! I had never had a cinematic experience like that before, or even since. It is probably also my favourite film of all time.

Hey Niat, like I said before, I love your videos. You do such a great job. Keep up with great work
