This video made me want to go rewatch it. Such a damn good movie.

I think what makes Ripley such a remarkable character is that she shows us vulnerability. She isn't awesome for the sake of being awesome; she's awesome because you can see throughout the movie that she is dealing with massive grief and extreme fear, but she pushes through that and overcomes the challenges that she faces. And it's also a positive note that her strength isn't due to the writers tearing down the male characters like so many movies do these days, but she rises to the challenge and finds a way to hold her own with them. That in itself makes her a much stronger character in my eyes. And that's also a distinction I can see; she isn't a strong female character, she is a strong character who is female.

In "Alien," Ripley was a strong character that was female. In "Aliens" she is a strong female character. I'm not sure what was going on with Cameron during this period in his life, but his films during this time seem to like to explore motherhood. Ripley's actions are motivated by this quintessentially female maternal instinct that gives her the motivation to do otherwise foolish things like go back into the hive after reaching safety to find a surrogate daughter who was likely already dead or face-hugged. It was necessary for Ripley in "Aliens" to be female, because that is critical for her character's motivation. It was not necessary in "Alien" because the desire for survival is not gendered, and indeed, the role in that movie was written with the assumption that the character would be played by a man. A male motivation, perhaps, would have been if a character chose to stay behind to guarantee that some explosive would go off, knowing that he was sacrificing his life for the team (or society, or humanity). We actually see male motivation similar to this at the end of T2, when Schwarzenegger's character sacrifices himself to prevent the creation of Skynet. The character arc in that film for that character was for the machine to learn to be human, and because humanity is sexually dimorphous, the male-bodied machine would necessarily develop masculine characteristics as it became human. Note that these is a significant difference between this sort of sacrifice and what Ripley did at the end of Aliens. Crucial to Ripley's actions is that she had to get out with Newt. This is not a take-them-sown-with-me sort of sacrifice, indeed, if it were a sacrifice it would have been worthless since, even if Newt survived, she would still have been an orphan. The male dies so that society does not end, but the female lives so that society can continue. The problem with the "strong female character" thing today is that the people who claim Rule 63 action heroes are such either do not understand or do not like femininity. The female-ness of these characters are a merely costumes because they act like men and have male capabilities. This is why they are uncompelling. The writers don't understand what female strength is - they seem to think that it is male strength, but looks hotter. They compensate for this poor characterization by throwing in cartoonishly misogynist adversaries to try to trick the audience into thinking that the protagonist is woman merely because other characters react to her as though she were one. The joke is on them, and us, when it turns out that she is really a man that just looks like a woman and kicks their asses like Arnold or Sly. In "Aliens," Ripley's character is not particularly feminine-looking - her figure is de-emphasized, her costuming and hair is not particularly feminine, she is not striking out against "the Patriarchy," and the soldiers don't take her seriously at first not because she is a woman, but because she is a civilian. Despite all of this, she is universally accepted to be a "strong female character." She is a strong character because her motivations are fleshed out, and she is a strong female character because those motivations are maternal.

She makes quick, understandable decisions and adapts to the situations as they evolve. She doesn't mind taking charge, but she also doesn't demand to BE in charge, often taking a more lead role only when someone needs to step up into it. She doesn't diminish the need or usefulness of other characters, instead allowing them to play to their own strengths and also isn't afraid to have moments of vulnerability, as seen by her plea to Hicks in the event she gets impregnated by the aliens, which is a moment that further develops their budding relationship. These are realistic characters, behaving in a believable manner in an extreme situation and growing in a natural way. This is why not everyone CAN or SHOULD write, because it takes time, effort and talent to do it well. I wish more people in the mainstream would understand and acknowledge that.

I loathe child actors almost without exception. Most of the time they can't act worth a durn and just suck at it 99.9% of the time. There are a few exceptions, though very rare and I think Carrie Henn was one of them exceptions. She did a fantastic job imho. Playing a tramatized child survior perfectly. Most likely becuase she wasn't an actress and hadn't been ruined but acting classes forced upon her by parents hoping for a movie star child who will grow up a star so they can leach off of them and as such was able to just do what the director and her coach wanted her to do. I can see her at 99 years old: "I fought Aliens in the 4th grade. I have video proof!", LOL.

The performances are good, the action is great, the special effects are stunning, it doesn't diminish the original with its additions or blatantly contradict anything established in the first film.

Definitely. She's my favourite character and this is my favourite movie. She's a great actor and an amazing non verbal actor. Very good at conveying a lot with an expression of a glance. My favourite example being the expression and head tilt before lighting the eggs up. And Newt's death stare at Burke, while Ripley is describing how he tried to put an Alien in her, is perfect. Just a quick shot but if looks could kill Burke would have been dead on the spot. I thought Carrie Henn did a great job for a girl with no experience who wasn't trying to become an actor. The scream annoyed me but since that was what got her the job I have to give her props for it. Not Bill Paxton's best acting job but definitely my favourite role of his. He get most of the best quotable lines. And when I think of Michael Biehn I always think of him as Dwayne Hicks instead of Kyle Reese. (Although I do love his role of "losing the plot" Navy Seal in The Abyss.) And Paul Reiser was perfect as Burke. Watch him in Mad About You and then this and you have to appreciate his talent. But the best role in the movie still has to go to the Alien Queen. Still the best monster/creature to ever appear on screen. Apart from her walking and running motions she is the most fearsome but at the same time the most real looking (because she is real. What you see is what Sigourney Weaver is really looking at(minus all the wires removed from the shots that lead to all the people controlling it). CGI creatures, no matter how cool they look always look like a CGI creature and not something that's really there (The dogs and the banshees in Avatar3D are the exceptions) No one has beaten the Queen (in Aliens only) yet.

May be one of the best movies ever to give "soldier grunts" personalities that you can follow from scene to scene.

This movie is easily one of the great action films of the 80's. It also established a fair number of cultural hallmarks that have survived even into present day. The Colonial Marines became pretty much the template for a lot of marines in science fiction settings for video games, books, and movies.

When Ripley was getting the weapons ready, she actually had a recent tutorial from Hicks after he gave her the tracker. So her knowing what to do with the weapons made sense because it was fresh in her mind. Plus, she already worked out the last kinks in use when she was in the Ops room skirmish right before. You see her trying to put what learned in practice and it took her second.

If no one was alive, they could legally claim the shuttle Narcissus as their own, fix it up, sell it for a profit, or send it to a ship-breaker to have it broken down for parts and scrap and sell it off like that -- whatever they wanted to do.

This is because her father was an American serviceman stationed at Lakenheath Air Force Base in England (Which I also have been stationed at) and she had lived in England since she was 2.

Three Aliens actors (who played Huson, Vasquez and Bishop) were also in the great vampire western, Near Dark.

Sgt. Apone is an iconic character. Al Matthews also cut a pretty good song "Fool" a few years before this movie, and served in the Marines for 6 years. He passed in 2018, RIP. Edit: Since you mentioned Terminator 2... This movie was directed by the writer/director of the first Terminator(1984). Originally, the character of the terminator was supposed to be played by the actor who plays Bishop the android in this movie, Lance Henriksen. However, when Arnold Schwarzenegger showed up and auditioned for the role of Kyle Reese, James Cameron decided to have him play the "movie monster" instead. He then wrote in Henriksen as a cop in Terminator, and gave him the role of Bishop in Aliens(1986) later as consolation for having lost out on the last opportunity to play a robot. The role of Kyle Reese (which Arnie originally auditioned for) ended up going to Michael Beihn, who plays Cpl. Hicks in this movie. But to answer your question, the role of Goreman in Aliens is not played by the same actor from Terminator 2.

Arguably, best sequel ever made. Cameron's genius was giving Ripley a mother role then fighting it out with another mother. Best heroine in a Sci fi movie, hands down. Too bad a character like Ripley and Sarah Connor from Terminator just are not written anymore. I guess first Wonder Woman does a good job as well, but VERY rare

Yeah, when they asked, "I don't know, is there anything you can do?", they were talking down to her. When Ripley says, "Where you want it?", the inference is that she's ready to shove that thing up his ass! Haha! That's why they laughed! She was giving a little sass to the Sargent, and he appreciated the attitude! :)

Wrong. She wasn't inferring anything like shoving it up his ass. She was just being sexy/sassy and confident showing them how capable and smooth she was operating the loader. Your hyperboles are your dreams. And the Sargeant was not talking " down " to her. He simply asked back to her, " I don't know, is there anything you can do?" Because he honestly had no idea if she had any skills useful for them on the ship, simple as that. And they laughed at the end because they were very pleasantly surprised at her fine ability. The sarge laughed in a good natured, " Well I'll be damned." way. No need for you to exaggerate what are just common type of reactions of people/characters.

There are 4 Terminator(T1) & T2 actors in this movie! Corpl Hicks was Kyle Reese, Bishop was the police Detective, and Pvt Hudson (Paxton) played one of the hoods at the beginning of T1 that the Terminator took clothes from; Vasquez played John Connor's foster mom in T2. She looked totally different.

Bishop is one of my favorite characters in all of cinema. You suspect he's a bad guy based on the previous movie, but he turns out to be the most wholesome guy ever. And Lance Hendriksen sold the character like a master salesman; he's a great actor.

😁 she was on to something…Hicks (Michael Biehn) was in Terminator.

The guy you asked if he was in Terminator two, Burk, is Paul Reiser. An up an coming comic when this came out. He went onto star in the popular sitcom, Mad About You. But I am pretty sure he was not in T2. However, the phycologist in the police headquarters is from The Terminator he is the robot in this movie. Vazquez is the foster mom from T2. She is not Hispanic but Jewish believe it or not. Hicks is the guy sent back to save the mom in terminator. Hudson is Bill Paxton. A fairly famous actor after this movie that died not long ago. Oh with the loader scene. they weren't laughing because she was a woman that could work the loader. They were laughing because she was a civilian that could work the loader. The next Alien movie is kind of weak. The worst of the bunch. But they get better again after that but as good as the first two.

Ripley’s character was so well rounded. At the beginning of the movie, she didn’t come off like “Hell yeah, I need revenge…let’s go get them!” No, she was scared and didn’t want to go at first. But I believe she felt she needed closure, make sure the aliens were destroyed in order to be able to go on with her life. That’s the only reason why she changed her mind and went.

This is the best and prettiest duo reactors on KZread by far! You guys are great! Just missing Jaby but I'd watch any and every content w both of you in it. Keep up the great work 👍!

"I appreciate you! You're a smart girl!" YES! Newt is such a GREAT character and Carrie Hein is an amazing actress. She was smart without being precocious. This movie is practically perfect! Great video, thanks!!!

The music build up as they escape the thermo-nuclear detonation is incredibly well done, and masterful cinema. The build up is so intense that the following calm seems like it could be the end of the movie.

Two fun facts: Paul Reiser, the actor who played Burke, brought his mother to the premier. When Burke was killed by the alien, she stood up and cheered. Second, the little girl who played Newt grew up to be an elementary schoolteacher. She played this movie for some of her students, and after it ended, she told them that she was Newt.

At the end when Newt says "Mommy" and you both just melted says so much about you😢👍❤.

Great reaction! Don't know if you guys already know this but Carrie Henn (Newt) only did this 1 movie. She's now a teacher and says that her school kid's parents LOVE the fact that she was Newt! Also, her movie brother "Timmy' is actually her real life brother.

Great reaction!!! So much fun to watch and such a great movie. The effects were all practical. It was still very early days of CGI and CGI as we know it hadn’t really been used yet (apart from a couple of films and not for very much content. Although the budget was higher than ALIEN, it was still relatively small and Cameron had to use a lot of his engineering ingenuity to invent some of the effects. If you get a chance, the behind the scenes documentaries are an amazing watch. It’s amazing that he squeezed as much quality out of that budget as he did and made it look that good. Such an ambitious film and it totally paid off!!

The shot of Hicks napping was very intentional; it was right after their CO just admitted (while sweating bullets) that he's barely done any combat drops, highlighting his inexperience. By showing Hicks napping, they are illustrating that Hicks may be a lower rank but he is more experienced and capable than Gorman is, because while Gorman is nervous and anxious and upset, Hicks is so calm that he's fallen asleep.

You do an amazing edit! You can tell a react if gonna suck when it's 20mins for a 2hr film. But an hour means you're not going to miss things important to the plot ... and people will stick around for that.

One of the greatest movies ever made!!! You two NEED to see the episode of the Netflix show “The Movies That Made Us” about the making of Aliens. It truly is amazing how many obstacles were in the way of James Cameron when he was trying to make this movie. And how he practically invented the Space Marine genre that is so prevalent in video games like Halo and Doom. Also I’m on team Special Edition as well. Not only does it have great scenes like the colony of Hadley’s Hope before it’s taken over by the Xenomorph’s, or the awesome auto-turret scene, but it has a scene that never should’ve been taken out. The scene when Ripley is given news by Carter Burke that her daughter Amanda had passed away while Ellen was in hyper sleep. Not only does it further humanize Ripley but it carries over in the ending where the fight between Ripley and the Alien Queen is actually mother vs mother.

It's actually about par for the course, bunch of smart ass goofballs ribbing each other in their down time then psyching each other up before an op.

It’s amazing for the time that Hicks is portrayed as an attractive partner to Ripley not because he rescues her or is an emotionally detached tragic hero, but he recognizes Ripley’s competence and defers to it. He’s confident, non-toxic masculine, and doesn’t hesitate to be advised by the better party in the situation. Even when he’s “educating” her, she’s the one directing it and he has nothing but admiration for it. It makes him a great action flick partner and romantic interest even today, where we still don’t encounter a lot of that.

And yeah Ripley knows how to do all that stuff with the weapons because she had hits show her how. Remember when she told him to show her everything well that's what he did.

It was the second time I experienced a whole theater stand up screaming, cheering and applauding at the moment Ripley came out in the loader and said that iconic line. The first time I experienced this was at the end of Star Wars in 1977. That was an awesome experience.

In the morning Carrie said the water was too hot so her and the "Alien" sat on the side bathing their feet in the water till it cooled down.

Funny aspect of the "lets have all the aliens" observations, If im not mistaken, they only actually had about 6 alien suits to work with? So all the impressions of a swarm you get are down to clever camera work and amazingly done sound design. I especially like the creeping snake's hiss sound that bounces around the facility to imply there are dozens of aliens communicating in the shadows nearby.

7:35 Some trivia about this scene: The Actress playing Vasquez, Jenette Goldstein, when she auditioned for the movie, did not understand that it was a Sequel to Alien, the 8th Passenger, and thought that it was about "ILLEGAL" Aliens=Immegrants. So she showed up in a Latina Gang get up with the tough Latina attitude at the auditions. The casting crew liked her so much, that they took her in and gave her the part, where she actually plays a Tough as boots Latina Thug/Marine. Hudson's (played by Bill Paxton) line where he says "Yeah she thought we where going after Illegals" is an inside joke about her auditions.

If you're planning to check out Alien 3, be sure to watch the assembly cut. Has a lot more depth to it than the theatrical cut. 😉

5:36 - Nope thats not Robert Patrick (right). However Paul Reiser (left) was well known for sitcom "Mad About You". 8:45 - Jenette Elise Goldstein also plays John Connor's foster mother in Terminator 2. 23:05 - Achara should see the behind-the-scenes, those were very detailed miniature props/models work back in the day that you'd thot they were real life size. 37:05 - Michael Biehn doesn't die.

What I love most is that every event makes sense within the context of someone's motivation or is set up by some prior event. In particular, one of the details that I love most is that after Ripley gets on the shuttle, a blast pushes the shuttle into the platform, and as the shuttle pulls away you can see that some piece of debris has gotten caught in the landing gear as it closed, as a subtle justification for how the queen got on board. Just that little attention to detail that most would never notice the first time but which makes rewatching so enjoyable. By contrast, in the first film I have to willfully accept the violation of conservation of matter when the baby alien suddenly becomes full grown without having to eat anything to grow. James Cameron would have dropped a throwaway line about the food storage being breached or something like that to justify it. Just saying.

This is one the movies I would love to watch for the first time like you two did. I remember when my parents introduced me to alien and then aliens. This is and will always be a staple in my childhood and what started my love for film. Great video to watch.
