This intro is my multiverse of madness

Even Mint Salad 😔

@4:04 TONY: So, who's your favorite character in these movies PRISON MIKE: Ripley...believe it or not ME: Can't say any better myself.

I can appreciate Alien 3, but it just makes me think, "Ripley deserved better". Nothing good happened to her the rest of her life since the chestburster appeared in the first movie. I like a lot of the stylistic choices in 3, but it's just a bummer from the get-go.

Agreed. I never agreed with how the lore went. The resurrection cannon would have been way easier to accept and appreciate if OG Ripley got a somewhat decent sendoff in three

Oh, that's where Scott the woz has been.... dead

Alien3 Assembly Cut is an under appreciated masterpiece.

This is like “Hack the movies: The Movie.”

everything that has ever been, was , or ever will be is summarized in this particular review. Historic.

even Mint Salad?!

I’m not gonna lie, that ending for the assembly cut would’ve made Hollywood take notes.

“Alien 3: On Earth Everyone Can Hear You Scream”. The internet made this a reality, now Everyone on Earth can hear you scream about Alien 3.

Alien 3, the day has finally come! It’s so beyond cool that everyone came together for this.

Prison Mike is a great guy! Hopefully he gets an official pardon.

I have to admit. I did like alien 3. It was the first time seeing an ‘alien’ film in theatre. Yes it may be a mess. But I liked it and thought it was pretty, pretty, pretty….pretty good. 🤘🏽⚡️🤘🏽

I like the first half of the movie. It's really bleak and goes back to its horror roots, unlike the sequel. Sadly, I always find myself getting uninterested in the film around the last third or so. In general, I can see why a lot of people dislike Alien 3 as it is something of a mixed bag. However, I don't really get why this has become one of those "what could have been" movies. People always praise some of the unused scripts for this film, like the space monastery one or whatever it was, as if they would have been much better choices. Most of those scripts I've seen are equally stupid or even worse than the one they went with.

Same here I was 12 when I saw this in theatre and tbh it took my innocence away a bit 😅. Bleak af tone and everyone including the hero dying was entirely new to me so this film made an impression on me 💯

Amazing Tony, well done on committing to the bit, what a year long set up for a joke! Still a great review and can't wait to see the Assembly Cut review now - which I don't know if I am an alone weirdo for this, or because it was the first Alien movie I ever saw and had 0 expectations, but Alien 3 is my favourite, and I don't think gets enough credit for just how good the acting is. When I saw the other ones I could see its flaws, but then I saw how the Assembly Cut sorted out a lot of the issuers and it was back to my favourite one again. Keep it up man, hope you have something else to hype for the next year or so now.

I love them all honestly 1-4 .. They all have their own unique flavor. Alien still is my favorite.

Always liked Alien 3. I was 15 when it came out so it hit me at the right time. Just love the mood and atmosphere. It also helps that I had the Super Nintendo game which was also good.

Unfortunately David Fincher doesn't talk about or participate in interviews about Alien 3. Believe me I wish he was in the videos too.

Who's prison Mike and how's he not seen T2?

Host "DID YOU EVER SEE THIS MOVIE ?" Prison Mike "no"

IT'S HAPPENING EVERYONE, IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! Also, I was in 7th grade when this came out. I know this because I remember buying the book adaption of the movie and reading it before it came out.

I actually enjoy Alien 3 a lot. Ripley's relationship with the doctor is interesting and Charles Dutton puts in an amazing performance. Changing up the alien was a unique choice and the ending was epic. Placing Ripley in a prison is rather inspired because who are we rooting for? If the alien wins, everything goes to s***, but all the prisoners are horrible people, so it's a moral dilemma.

Tony, you magnificent bastard, that was a pretty good joke at the beginning. This review was pretty cool.

04:05 favorite character “Ripley, believe it or not.” Great reference😂

New to you're channel but damn do I love it . Been catching up the last few days. The take you and you're guest had on The Thing was perfect . Never thought I could watch long segments of other people's opinions on movies.

I remember the big Saturday HBO premiere of Alien³. I just turned 13 in '92. I'm not ashamed to enjoy this movie. The dreary atmosphere, the tunnel chase, Clemens & Dillon, and cinematography were excellent.

What a historic day we’ve all been waiting for…

Always liked it. Assembly Cut is great too. Most people were expecting Aliens 2. The production was a mess and starting a movie without a script was a mistake on many levels. Fincher made the most of it but I wish we could have seen more of his vision on screen. Theres so much material left on the cutting floor and even stuff they never filmed. Shame.

You had us there for a while Tony 👏

I always assumed that she burn the bodies because she didn't want the company to get ahold of them. Just in case there was something that the company could use for alien design. I was also frustrated at the time because just before the movie came out, there were novelizations on what was projected to be the story. It was called Earth Hive, and it would involve Ripley Newt and Hicks being woken up in Earth orbit. While they were sleeping, and adrift in space, the colonists had managed to send a sample back before they were overwhelmed. The corporation had been experimenting with it and it had got loose, and the entire Earth was in shambles with people scrambling to get off the planet and stop the aliens from overtaking it.

Even after picking up on the gag, this was still hard to get through lol

Almost to a man, the people who actually liked Alien 3 dislike Aliens for straying away from the supposed nihilism of part 1.

I was born in 84 this was the scariest one for me... I also read the book and watch it often. Dillon is the best character out of the original trilogy

I don’t know what everyone is talking about this review being underwhelming on purpose. I had a good time with it and Prison Mike is delightful.

Love the opening. I am one of those people who can't forgive this movie (either cut, despite some good stuff) for killing every survivor of the previous one.
