I really like the depth it gives Hudson. Most of his screen time is being a goofball(in the ship), freaking out(after the dropship's non-textbook landing) or the end shot of him going down swinging. Fans of the movie knew that there's more to Hudson than freaking out, but that scene gives you a chance to see the Hudson that belongs in that platoon: technically sound, salty dog doing his job. It's scenes like this, and it's original removal, that prove that Hollywood executives realty don't know a thing about what the audience likes. If your director is worthy, let him shoot the movie he wants. Oh, and RIP Bill Paxton. Whether as Hudson, Chet, or any number of other roles, his work made a lot of fun for a lot of people. And yes, this is by far my favorite Paxton role.

It's the scene that really stands out, a sense of dread and anxiety. And Aliens getting smeared on the walls

As said previously, the sentry scene was awesome and crucial for two reasons. 1) the Aliens getting eviscerated and mowed down by machine guns was so satisfying to see. Xenomorphs are lucky and always seem to have the upper hand, but its nice to know high tech weapons can still help humans fight back just as hard. 2) the draining ammo count created so much good tension and a sense of impending/increasing danger for the marine relying on these two guns to fend off wave after wave

they were not cut from the movie completely, they just cut/ reduce the shooting scene. If you watch both theatrical and special edition you will see.

Truly one of the best deleted scenes, in my opinion. It tells us a lot about the nature of the Aliens when encountering a significant threat to the hive. We hear and see just how many Xenomorphs rush straight into danger to eliminate a threat, but also how clever they are about decision making. Like Dr. Church's experiment with the pig and the guard, a single alien will not relinquish a chance to attack an enemy even if it's personal survival is at risk. In this situation, perhaps it was the Queen who called them out of the line of fire in order to preserve the bulk of her forces so that she could consolidate her troops and attack the enemy on her own terms. Very interesting!

I grew up with the Colonial Marines Technical Manual and this channel totally makes me feel 12 again. Awesome video.

I saw Aliens in the theater in 1986 with a friend who agreed to see it. Of course the sentry gun scene was not in the movie. When we returned we caught Siskel and Ebert reviewing the film on TV. Ironically, when the film was shown on TV or cable around 1989 the longer version of the film was played. That version did include the sentry guns -- the longer version of the film. Does it make it a better movie? Simply, yes. It doesn't take the film over the top but was rather a catchy addition to the sci-fi film classic when I first saw it and recognized right away it was not part of the film. However, the only real point is that it would have been better if the sentry guns were kept in the film.

In my opinion, I feel it’s obvious these scenes definitely add to the feel of the overall movie and should have never been cut. I’m glad we got these scenes in the directors cut version of the film. Great work as always!

I think at the time, Fox was high on drugs to have cut a scene so cool and so insightful to the movie.

The sentry gun scene adds weight to the stakes that they cast was up against in the story of ALIENS. It established that the entire hadley's hope population was already spawned from, it shows that xenos are still a threat despite advanced firearms, it also shows that the xenos can learn from losses... it also helps ripley near the end because there are fewer xenos guarding the queen due to the combined losses from the sentry gun scene and escape scenes combined.

It's a bad ass part of the movie should have left it in.

All in camera effects and still more than 30 years later it looks absolutely incredible. Integral to the story in my opinion aswell.

There’s an Easter egg in the game Aliens: Colonial Marines. The sentry units placed in the corridor are still there, and the one with 10 rounds left still reads “010” on the ammo counter.

Should have never cut this scene. I just saw the directors cut for the first time a couple weeks ago and this was one of the most noted scenes I missed. I remember the theatrical version Hicks mentioning them when he salvaged them from the wreckage but we don’t ever get to see them in action. Then getting to see them in action was something else. They were pretty sick!

The sheer scope of terror and joy the Turret Scene was *awesome* . The Xenomorphs are shown to be somewhat intelligent and retreat. However, though they retreat, we know that there are way more Xenomorphs alive even though the turrets ran out of ammo (or have a incredibly low amount). If they threw a half-dozen more bodies or so against the guns, all of the humans would be dead and so we see how lucky the humans were.

The very first time I watched Aliens I streamed it from a...erm...less than reputable source. I didn't know whether or not I'd like the film, so I didn't want to risk money. The version I unknowingly watched was the Special Edition, and I adored the film (I now own several different copies of the film, so don't worry, they got my money :P). Later on I watched the theatrical release, not knowing the difference between the two yet, and I was highly disappointed with the cut content. To me, the movie simply felt incomplete without the content that was removed. Every single scene that was cut felt like an important piece of a puzzle had been lost. While all of them are important, the scenes with the sentry guns were actually my favorite part of the movie. Having to sit there and just watch that ammo counter go down while my heart rate increased was such an important scene for me, and as pointed out, it showed that the aliens were intelligent and weren't just operating on instinct. Anyway, those are just my two cents. Love your content!

I have almost the same experience. Borrowed Aliens on VHS from a friend, which later turned out to be the Special Edition. The cover did not mention this AT ALL - hard to imagine these days when 3 added minutes of gore are plugged as an Unrated Extended Edition. So I enthusiastically bought the VHS boxset which only had the theatrical version of Aliens. I first noticed when I missed the scene with the colonists, but the worst omission was the sentry gun scene. Oh, the horror. Those scenes prove how short scenes can be quite pivotal in showing how the danger is increasing. They build great tension, through (mostly) suggestion and sound, and they implicitly show that the Aliens aren't just mindless drones. If anyone says that Aliens was all about action and has no suspense at all, I always point to these scenes and the escaped Facehuggers scene to prove them wrong. Not to mention the scene before the Aliens emerge and engage the marines for the first time.

The only thing wrong with the deleted scene was that the alien exploding footage was just reused atmospheric processor footage shown earlier in the movie. We got to see how savage and relentless the aliens were even at the loss of more of them than hosts gained, I loved the footage, it also showed just how awesome the marine hardware was and it was a taste of how they could have locked that colony down had they not had a complete fool of a commanding officer.

Wasn't the whole thing a plot to get them impregnated with the aliens and frozen for the trip home? I remember when Ripley was interrogating burke that he would sabotage the freezers on the way home and make up any story he liked..

This was a very elemental portion of this movie! I can't imagine watching it without it!

This scene is so critical to how the plot developed I cannot believe they ever thought it was a good idea to cut it. Not to mention how unique it is as a action set piece, and I always liked to think of the ammo counters going down as a fresh take on watching the motion tracker for suspense.

Sentry scene was iconic! 👍

IMHO the sentry scene explains why Ripley runs into so few xenomorphs when she goes to rescue Newt. There were, according to some sources, roughly 160 colonists at Hadley's Hope. If all of them had been turned into xenomorphs that'd be 160 xenomorphs. Hudson comments that the xenos were "wall to wall" in the tunnel so I think it is safe to say that between the two sentry scenes that the vast majority of xenomorphs were killed. Add to that the xenomorphs that were killed by the marines when they entered the "sanctuary" through the ceiling. By the time Ripley went to rescue Newt there were probably only a handful of xenomorphs left. And as far as the big return on the motion tracker when Newt is taken? Could have been full grown xenos, could have been a bunch of facehuggers with just a few xenos. We only saw one full grown xeno when Newt was actually taken which doesn't seem likely given how xenos tend to attack in packs throughout the rest of the movie. Maybe the queen, being fairly intelligent, sent some facehuggers to act as a diversion for her few remaining full grown xenos. She can always make more facehuggers... technically an endless supply but she needs hosts for xenos. Facehuggers are expendable.

The Sentry Gun scenes are such a good addition that one really has to wonder why they were omitted from the original cut in the first place. As mentioned by others, the scenes not only add some tension and introduce another interesting piece of equipment, but it's also important for pacing and plot purposes to lull the viewer into a false sense of security. We've seen the USCM utterly decimated by the Aliens and the survivors shell-shocked by what has occurred. But they regroup and devise a plan for survival and escape. The Sentry Gun scenes and the Aliens retreat appears to validate that plan as being the right one - allowing the survivors (and us) to breathe a little easier and think everyone will be able to walk out. That just serves to make it all the more shocking when the Aliens start crawling out from the ceiling. . .

I remember the sentry guns being used in the VHS version waaaaayyyyy back after the movie hit theaters....didn't know what version I saw as a kid...haven't seen it since.

When I was a kid in the 80's, we taped a showing of Aliens that played on our local Fox affiliate. It had almost all of the director's cut scenes included, such as the sentry guns and the stuff about Ripley's daughter. It was the only version I knew. Years later we bought a boxed set of the first three movies on VHS, and I was shocked! Why did they cut the movie?! I thought maybe it was too long to fit on tape, so this particular version was edited down for length. I had no idea it was the version most people knew, and the one I watched was an extended cut. The theatrical cut still feels wrong to me. I can't watch it.

Back then it was told to directors not to make movies too long (average of 100-120 mn tops). They had pressure from studios and producers to squeeze their tapes to fit in theater schedules (which is still the case nowadays), and public didn't like long movies at that time. It is why, for example, Once Upon a Time In America was literally butchered at the final editing in the US, cut down from its original 229 minutes duration to 139 minutes-long, thus rendering completely messy, totally non-coherent, skipping essential parts of the story without even Leone's involvment. The US theatrical movie was torn into pieces by critics, which Sergio Leone took pretty hard and stopped making movies (turned out to be his last as he died in 1989). Only Europe and the rest of the world got the full official version, and it was still shorter than Leone's full, unreleased script (269 minutes). Aliens Director's Cut version was, as per Cameron's terms "the ride we intended you to take. So, enjoy."

I agree that the Sentry Guns rocked, I don't think I would go so far to say they were the ONLY thing to kick the aliens' ass. The only real reason the marines got their asses handed to them were 2 fold, first, bad leadership, and second the unfortunate series of events that led to their ammo being cooked off in the first few seconds of the ambush, which also resulted in almost an entire fire team being destroyed/captured. Once they recovered from the ambush and because Vasquez and Drake both disebeyed orders, the marines were able to regroup and fall back, all while laying a serious smack down from the combined fire of the M56's, the flame throwers and Hicks' shotgun. We never see how many they took down, but I seriously doubt Vasquez and Drake were blindly firing down all the halls and passeges in the hive. They would have been shooting at something!

Aliens was always my second favorite movie... and when my buddy recorded the extended version on CITY 57 in Toronto back in the day and invited me over for a sleep over to watch it, I was in heaven! Best directors cut I've ever seen!

I couldn't believe these scenes were cut, and when I got my hands on the director's cut, man, this blew my mind. This certainly adds to the already great sequel. One on my favorite parts. This guns kick ass. Thanks.

Still the most scariest movie of all time.. iv ben following the whole series since the original and this one here still scares The Living Daylights out of me..

Pisses me off that this scene rarely gets played.

I think the scenes truly added tension to the film overall. Because the scene later when Hudson and Vasquez go out into the SAME corridor where the earlier sentry guns caused the xenomorph attack to retreat really added to the tension.

It builds the suspense very well.. This scene was in it when I first saw it at the theater in summer of 1986. I was disappointed when I had seen it later, that the scene was not there. I had told a friend when we were watching on VHS once. And the scene wasnt there.

Then when the aliens finally get in, they kill another solid amount, then on the retreat they kill more, with more dying in the ventilation shafts.

Not true. Those are the only Aliens which were by the Queen. The rest were on the long trek back to the cocoon chamber. Ripley had the advantage of a dropship to take her quickly where she needed to be. Look at the motion-tracker when Newt is abducted and you'll see a LOT of creatures are still coming - the absolute minimum number, with likely many more coming. Keep in mind that VERY few creatures are shown to actually die. Including in the sentry gun sequence. Several of then even die while posed in mantis-like 'ambushing' poses, implying they were creeping up and trying to out-flank them, while others distracted the guns. Just hearing screams doesn't count either way, since those could simply be threat noises (which is the same reason we don't know of Hicks even hits anything with his shotgun un the initial encounter, let alone scores actual kills). And all of that doesn't even factor in how the creatures might have the regenerative healing abilities which had been planned back for the first film's production. Watch videos of Phalanx CIWS turrets engaging missiles and mortar shells and you'll see a LOT of ammunition gets expended before necessarily hitting the target.

I reckon by the time they get to the scenes with ripley in the hive 80% of the aliens are dead if not more.

I personally loved the scene with the guns myself

"look at those counters go" "it's like a shooting gallery down there"

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.

In my personal opinion that is one of most chilling scenes in whole film. And one of my favourites (one of - not THE most). I have few friends that argued that this scene didn't really contributed too much to the film as whole - and while at first glance that seem to be true, I always standed my ground that it is very important scene because it showes few iinteresting things about behaviour of Xenomorphs (like mentioned ability to reason that looses become unacceptable and it is better to retreat and try diffrent approatch). Futher more this scene is one that showes Xenomorphs' weakness. Untill that point we saw them victorious in every situation. Nostromo - it managed to kill almost all crew before got killed. Hadley's Hope? Again - got whiped out by xenomorphs. Marines entering hive to rescue colonists? Same - got their butts kicked. This is first time that film showed xenomorphs actually loosing fight. But of course - that is just my opinion and nobody has to agree with it. As for whether this scene should or should not be cut out - I think it should not.

No thank you brother! I never miss an episode and I always look forward to new content. Again thank you for your hard work and dedication for this franchise it is a great and truly amazing one far above almost any other. You are doin a great job giving us vets some new info we may not have been aware of or that gets us thinking and drives us to dive deeper into the lore and you do an amazing job at bringing new people into fold creating a lot of in depth videos for them to dive into and digest! You are a true great in this community and I applaud you my friend!

Sentry guns are a great part of the story--when included in other cuts, though, they come with other scenes that could've stayed out. The sentry guns help explain why such a tiny force didn't hesitate to go into harm's way (always a plot hole for me) but most importantly, show why the xenos are so dangerous. They can conserve losses, regroup and counterattack.

This was one of my favorite scenes, a bunch of people huddled over a computer screen and terrified as those numbers ticked down.

The more Firepower the better

Having played the Alien in AVP 2010, I did not like being shot at by those guns. Really cruel things. Had special pleasure destroying them. I can relate to the poor aliens from the movie. No wonder they were so pissed off when they finally breached in. LOL

Having only recently discovered the special edition I have to say it it absolutely the best way to watch the film. The sentry guns add a necessary tension that adds greatly to the terror they’re experiencing. Those sentry guns were the ultimate Badass!

I really loved the cut sentry hallway scene. There was this feeling of impending dread, watching the round count dwindle and knowing the xenomorphs were STILL coming!

Beep beep Skeep skeet Sentry guns shoot sheet

Seeing the sentry guns in the film for me was like seeing a light saber for the first time, the excitement was that high! I loved the AvP games most of all the first one, I played it for years.

Wow, I never realized it wasn't in the theatrical release, I've only ever watched it with the scene included. I feel like that scene is essential!

The first time I watched the director's cut of aliens I was blown away by the scenes they cut out. The extended cut is the only cut I'll watch now.

Ahh I've been waiting for you to talk about these. That scene was literally my introduction to the alien series. Aliens was being aired on TV in the mid 90's, I was about 13 and at first my parents wouldn't let me watch. By this scene I bargained my way in and watched in awe. And was so confused when I could never find it again for the next 10 some years.

Simply put. The scene ads the feeling of "insurmountable odds"

I only ever watched the version with the sentrys included. One of my favorite scenes in the movie.

Love your video as always my fellow lore master you made a masterpiece

I remember seeing this film at the theater ( directors cut). The machine gun sequence was phenomenal!! So, yeah on a nutshell it does add to the story.👍thanks, because I’ve seen the “cut” version, and it diminished the story a bit. Kudos to you! Keep up the good work!😃

I just subscribed to your channel based of how u explained the guns in aliens now I find myself about to watch all ur vids keep em coming

Thank you for outstanding content. Love your work.

Late comment here, but I agree with most everyone else that the inclusion of the sentry gun scenes definitely helped make a great movie even better. The scenes add another layer of tension to the movie and help to further build up the suspense leading up to the Xenomorph's final assault on the group before they can make a clean escape. We get to see a little more character development from our protagonists and, as you pointed out, more insight into the intelligence and behavior of the Alien Hive. All in all it adds some more depth to the film and though it was a shame these scenes were cut from the theatrical release, its great that we got to see them in the special editions. Thanks for the awesome video and stay safe out there!

i grow up watching Aliens - theatrical cut. But when i first saw the directors cut and the sentry gun scenes for me it was like watching a new movie. I was so thrilled and sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time... The next day i went out to see my friends and they were already talked about these sentry guns scenes, but interesting thing was that most of them saw Aliens for the very first time!

I never knew it was cut out until this video, I love this scene reminds me of Congo the movie

Sentry guns were CRITICAL in establishing the fortress mentality of that chapter of the movie. We already knew barricades weren't enough to hold off xenomorphs at Hadley's Hope. This is shooting out of the castle as it were and I loved all the scenes that featured the sentry guns in the Special Edition of Aliens.

I love the addition of that scene

Definitely like the Sentry Gun scenes. Watching the ammo count down, not knowing if they'll relent or not. It also helps stretch out (in a good way) the length of time the survivors are waiting on Acheron. Otherwise it seems like mere minutes after the dropship crash to Bishop going for the second dropship. More Colonial Marines Technical Manual articles, please!

The theatrical version had 25 minutes deleted from its release. The DVD release was and remains the best with these scenes......

Not only are your comments spot on, but I for one think that the Sentries are vital in Aliens as they provide a short-lived yet VERY rare moment of hope, a brief moment when the Team and the audience can actually say: "take that, you suckers!!". Before and after that scene, the extreme vulnerability of the human crew is overwhelming...

Thanks for your commentary. I saw the original (without) and years later on DVD the full version. I was blown away (excuse the pun) with the guns. It was one of the best scenes, especially between bursts when the fired rounds suck the gunsmoke along with them. Barrel temp, rounds remaining! I mean it doesn't get better than that.

Definitely needed them !

It’s one of my favorite scenes from the extended edition. I absolutely love re-watching it several times and every time I go back to play AVP:2010 and Colonial Marines (yes, I actually like Colonial Marines) it just makes me smile to see the Sentry Guns

A+ video. Thank you

loved these scenes, not sure how they tracked up and down, with aliens in the ceiling though.

The scenes with those guns had me on the edge of my seat!

A GREAT sequence in the film...those Sentry Guns did in fact add extra "Fire Power"...it was definitely a BONUS to have those still available from the wreckage... I am happy it was put back into the Special Edition :-)

Tne scene was crucial in building tension at that point in the movie. The guns were literally down to the last few rounds before the attack broke off. Brilliant directing. I remember feeling relieved but also kind of hopeless as the most powerful form of defence was used up so quickly. It left me tbinking 'jesus that was close but what the hell is coming next' brilliant.

I love that scene. It was comforting to see a piece of kit capable of keeping them safe if only for a short while.

p.s i love the choice of music in your videos.

I wasn't born when Aliens was released in the theatre, in fact I first saw the film in 2000 and even then I watched it at my mates place, he had only just bought a home cinema system with a projector and he was trying to show off the surround sound system and the picture quality. So he was flicking through the film, fast forwarding to the fight scenes. The sentry scene was one of the best scenes and I found it most fascinating. I watched the whole film a few weeks later, start to finish. Long story short, I have never known this film without that scene. I can't imagine how it would be without it. For me one of the best aspects of the film and one which distinguishes it from the original film is the military side of it. The first film is mostly focused on the technological and cultural evolution of humanity as imagined in the 70s and 80s, the second introduces the military side of the futuristic society. So yeah the guns are a big part of that imagination.

one of the best scenes of the film ,and i have to say special edition is my fave!

Love these videos. Makes the alien world seem so real
