Two primary reasons they cut them. The first was practical - studio heads insisted no one would sit through a nearly 3 hour movie, and demanded Cameron make cuts. Thus, the entire Hadley's Hope sequences were cut, and the sentry gun scenes were cut. The second is more of an emotional one. You were ment to feel suspense and terror, at overwhelming swarms of xenos, but in an in-universe logic, with the guns in, that wouldn't be the case. 4 guns, clear firing lines, 2,000 rounds of heavy ordinance. At best, after the last stand of the colonists, and the first hive incursion by the marines, there were probably a bit over 100, maybe 120ish xenos. (One for each colonist that didn't die before hand). 2000 rounds of death down a clear corridor had to have resulted in massive casualties. I'd comfortably say that nearly 100 would've been killed. That means that the final assault would have had maybe 30 xenos tops. Still deadly, but not the unending horde that was ment to be implied to be bearing down on them. I agree that they should keep those scenes, because it does explain many other things though. The first is the xeno retreat. They suffered too many casualties and had to seek alternative entrances. They weren't overwhelmingly swarmed in the assault, and in the air ducts. There was a single xeno that reached them at the elevator to the landing pad. And when Ripley re-entered the hive, there were only the few guards and hatchery tenders because they lost so many xenos and what few remained were combing the colony complex for any other humans.

The Xenos first encounter the marines right smack in their gestation chamber. And the end result of that encounter was many xenos dead and most of the gestation chamber set on fire. If the Xenos waited for the humans to come back again the surprise tactic isn't going to work again and the entire chamber would likely be lost.

Yeah it's way more haunting that you can't see them, you can just hear the absolute rampage that's going on down that hallway. Genius sound design, to give you just short bursts of what the reality is, because not only does it emphasize it, it also shows you what it feels like to be a marine relying on a sentry turret. To them, it's just sound and terror. Lets your imagination go, which is what's happening to the marines too. In reality the aliens might've only sent their weakest but most nimble, and they might be missing huge scores of rounds - or ones that are dying are wiggling enough to keep firing solutions up, it might be even more horrifying in that corridor seeing Xenos just stay standing, and not advance - it might also be Xenos dying on the roof, and the acid is triggering the guns so who knows how many casualties were actually occurring. It might be a bloodbath too, the Xenos just might not care. Even scarier? The massive amount of Xenos acid blood is actually opening up new passageways, creating new ways into the facility. It's a great scene. Too bad it was cut for time, but I can see why. They sold it, but if you'd watched that scene 20-30 times in editing you might think the "effect" was too obvious, too simplistic, and some people would call it just "a gun scene" when really it's just great setup.

It was debated back in the day by my friends and I whether or not the Queen either made an error (assuming she ordered the assault) or was simply acting instinctively against a threat. But the losses experienced by the XenoMorph's in this scene were borderline catastrophic, at this point in Alien Lore... each XenoMorph is 'birthed' form a host, and a host can only be used once, essentially making each XenoMorph irreplaceable in this scenario, as the entire colony by now (with the exception of Newt) was deceased, having been previously captured or killed in the initial attack on the Colony. One could argue that the Queen knew this, but decided that an all out assault on the enemy interlopers was called for as If successful, the hive would be safe, regardless of the cost in warriors.

I believe most of James Cameron's movies of that period relied on heavy influences of low lit and "tangible" sets, coupled with no music. This combination sets the tone for a dark and intense thriller. No streamlining or far out "future" props/sets or ships. You can see the inner workings of the corridors, equipment and vehicles and to me this puts the viewers in the realm of a possible future, due the fact that we do see these in his movies. We all have seen electrical conduits, pluming, pipes, steam, etc....and again this transports the viewer to a movie that on some level can relate to. The movies of today have for the most part lost this art or style and rely on CGI to get through the audience. While CGI has defiantly come of age, it will never replace something you can see, touch and feel. The original alien also shared the same concepts as James's movies. I personally believe that to me, Alien and Aliens are the perfect examples of what Sri-if horror should be.

Rarely you see a director's cut where the actual _new_ footage makes the movie better, more complex and entertaining instead of tedious and just simply long. The 20-30 minutes of Aliens extra footage is actually the salt and pepper of the movie: the first facehugging of the colony, the sentry guns, Hudson's rant about their arsenal, Hicks shorter rant about the remains of the arsenal, etc. Excellent, funny and well-made scenes. I don't understand why it was necessary to make Aliens' theatrical cut ~2 hrs long instead of 2,5 hrs.

I'll write this knowing that very few people will appreciate how truly awesome these scenes REALLY are. James Cameron proved his brilliance with this. Think about this...what did you actually see in the scene ? All it was, was some really good actors looking at a 'computer screen' ( added in later in post production ) and then B roll of guns firing. You don't see aliens, there is no real action - no real stunts or anything. And each time you watch it - its this amazing tension. The full version film with these scenes left in is difficult to find, but SO worth it. I hate the cut down version by comparison. But it demonstrates what truly makes a great scene, a good atmosphere, great actors, and a visceral experience. It's all just smoke and mirrors - and it' brilliant.

Technically, lorewise, they should be firing at sufficiently massed targets and aiming center of mass. So they set it for anything a dog or bigger on the move, and it'll fire torso every time. They are high RoF guns though, so realistically even a small burst at a whole intact target will involve like 15-30 rounds, lol. If I were to surmise in-universe, I'd say that of the 100 or so xenos, they lost probably a bit less than half in the initial corridor, it was wide and long. The second assault, probably less than half that again, narrow corridors trimming the kills. So there'd be about 50ish left to assault the marines, while still sparing a dozen hive defenders and tenders. I think in addition to the run time concern at release, the sentry scenes were also cut because your brain does that napkin math and unconciously realizes that they're not facing a literal horde, but just a score of bugs. Still terrifying and a threat, but not as big as if the guns are cut, and people thing the hive is still at full strength when they cut the power. Just imo, mind you.

These are such small scenes, but they add so much to the overall movie. It's mind-boggling to me that they we're ever removed to begin with. I couldn't imagine watching this movie without these scenes or the scenes with the colonists.

This scene and a few others were cut to trim time from an already long movie so theaters could squeeze in more showings per day. Once you see the director's cut with the missing scenes, despite the length, you'll never want to settle for the theatrical cut again. It's just that good.

LOVE this scene, i love it. the ammo supply quickly disappearing, the sounds, the scope... if i had way, i'd leave out the perfunctory shots of the actual guns-for me it works FAR better watching them sit tensely around the monitors, HEARING the vast army of monsters at the door but not seeing.

Maybe they could build a fire, sing a couple of songs, huh?

@@andrewshouse9840 Yeah, especially the camera. But who knows, they had the security cameras there so maybe it's part of the normal kit but they didn't need to use it? The scene makes sure to let us know that they have visual. Or perhaps it was designed to always have supervision of soldiers near it? Just as a side note, I'm pretty sure that the flashing "Critical" ammo indicator is compliant with military spec concerning flashing elements on a screen (something like between 3 and 16 Hz no more than two distinct frequencies at any one time). It's been a long time since I read the spec, but if it is true that's amazing attention to detail.

My hair got stood up when all turrets ammo's depleted.

Yeah I agree my favorite cut scene, glad they put it in the special edition. This scene showed just how many aliens there were without having to show any. You saw the tension as the guns ran out of ammo and they weren't stopping... Showed just how tough and not scared they were even when guns were tearing them up. And then of course it showed them stopping just before the guns ran out. Not scared of anything and still smart to stop.

Anyone who's ever played Team Fortress will know the joys of being an Engineer and building and maintaining these sentry guns to defend your base - awesome times!

I think this scene is better added in not only cause of the added tension but there's a deeper tactical mindset to the Xenomorphs. When the alert from the sentry guns comes in every person is there watching those screens. It's possible the Xeno's purposefully sent fodder against them to make sure all eyes were on the sentry guns and not elsewhere in the facility monitoring them getting into previously unknown areas. One major piece of evidence in favor of this is that you don't see the aliens coming from all four directions and charge the guns they don't crawl on the ceiling, floor, and both walls to add to the possibility of overwhelming the sentry guns positions they charge and in some frames are literally stood still as they're blown apart. The ones the sentries shoot are merely distractions to keep the humans from noticing the larger picture. Once the A & B guns lost their ammo the Aliens pounded on the pressure door to keep up the illusion that was their intended target. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into nothing

I wish they made the sentry gun scenes longer. It was such an awesome scene!

I wonder if after this attack the Alien’s version of Hudson said to the others “we just got our asses kicked man!”

This is a perfect way of showing just how numerous the Xenomorphs are

Wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of those guns, bloody brilliant, 2020 still watching this classic

Okay, so when I was a kid we had this movie on VHS tape. Me and my siblings use to watch it all the time. Then one night, it's on tv, commercials and all, but we're still stoked to watch it. And then these scenes come on and we're like, "The hell? When did this happen?" Even my mom was intrigued, and some months later when the movie was shown on tv again, she made sure to tape it because she thought the sentry guns scenes were important.

The genius of these scenes is that Cameron had a limited budget so instead of showing the all out chaos involving props, stuntmen, explosions and wired work, he went small and let the scene play out in the minds of the audience. Hearing the gun fire and screams and a few quick cuts to the monitors allows us the imagine what's happening out in the corridors which really ratchets up the tension because you don't what the xenos are planning next. It's also more effective story telling than a all out CGI fest if Cameron made it today.

I have this in my image in my mind of one of the aliens standing *next* to the sentry guns with a couple of his buddies having a big yuck. “Watch this” as he waves his claw in front of the sentry gun sensor and it fires down a long empty hallway. “It scares the Hell out of them.”

It still boggles my mind why they left this out of the theatrical version. This is one of the most intense and important scenes in the entire film.

Great scene, thanks for uploading it.

I think what it is even more fascinating about this deleted scene even though I seen it on a uncut version somewhere is that it doesn’t change the perfection of this movie and yet the deleted scene is still masterfully done.

This is in the directors cut, plus a couple of other deleted scenes. One scene shows the colonists when they found the alien spacecraft. One ends up with a facehugger. Also, a scene of Ripley finding out that her daughter had died.

Happy 35th Year Anniversary Aliens 🎂 Original Release: July 18th 1986

these two short scenes are full of tension, those machine guns alone in those corridors against the army of aliens, you almost humanize them and feel pity, admiration and empathy with them. JC made me feel for 4 pieces of metal. This too is cinema.

Correct. They had very little left after the drop ship crashed, which happened to also destroy much of what was left of their ground transport. They salvaged the wrecks and holed up to wait for rescue. When they realized they had no chance of lasting until a rescue ship could arrive they devised the plan to bring the second drop ship down on remote.

the problem is those turrets simply use too much ammo and the distance set for them to fire is a little too far increasing chance of missing them.

The Sentry turret was meant to beat the shit out of whatever came into its cone of fire - to do so you need either a very large calliber or rapid rate of fire. Guess which one mindset was utilised in the end :P Also keep in mind it was meant as portable system which means it had to be ... portable - this sadly translates to fairly low ammo capacity - keep in mind ammo both takes space and wieghts alot - even 500 bullets would make a good part of the weight of that "turret kit". Also most creatures would either run away from the gun fire alone or would run when seeing the other crits from their pack shreeded to pieces - but aliens were no such creatures - the normal survial instincts in this case were either not present at all or supressed by the queen - this was just one huge human Banzai attack. And the sentry turrets were kinda not meant to deal with that kind of thing. :D

Even with a high rate of fire, 500 rounds is still pretty decent for any mobile weapon platform, and conventional enemies wouldn't just keep throwing themselves at the gun until it ran out of ammo

Yup, this scene was in the original cut of the film, when it was released in the theater. I saw the film on the weekend it was released. Now I'm reading all these comments by people insisting that this scene was cut. Well, maybe after the initial release. But I was there, in the cinema, watching this scene back in 1986. This was a pivotal, and memorable, scene.

I still believe the first 2 Alien movies are some of the most influencial pieces of media for videogames in the 90s, particularly shooters. Tiresome as they become, a defense torret section always aspired to be this intense (the best is probably HL 2: episode 2 torret section)

Thanks for uploading half a scene. Half a thumbs up for you and KZread sir! :D

So... The corporate weasels said the colony had 60 or 70 families. If we take an average of 5 people per family, and each and every colonist was used to host a Xenomorph, that's at most 350 Xenomorphs hatched. They had 4 sentry guns set up, each with 500 rounds, for a total of 2000 rounds. There was definitely some inefficient shooting going on there.

***** I suppose there could be others in addition to the colonists. But the most likely scenario is the colony was made up of workers and their families. The ones who "fought the threat and died" were the colonists themselves, using improvised weapons and small arms fire. On top of that they had to eat some colonists for food so the number is likely far less that 350.
