“Let’s ROCK!!” One of the best lines ever.

This scene is terrifying no matter how many times I watch it, or how old this movie gets. The chaos, the terror, it’s unrelenting.

Fact: Sergeant Apone played back Al Matthews was a legit marine served in the Vietnam war had thirteen combat awards and two purple hearts. During the filming of the movie he actually drilled the entire cast to act and think like marines.

One of the best action films ever made.

"Eat this" is still one of my most favorite movie moments of all time. 😂

1:56 That “LET’S ROCK!” “YEAH!” gives me chills of adrenaline every time. Such a ‘amp’ you up for anything moment!

In 2023 this movie still looks awesome.

Possibly the greatest sci-fi action movie ever made.

"Marines, we are LEAVING", on of the best lines ever.

The confusion of the scene is really awesome you hear shots fired and you dont see the Aliens getting directly shot until the end this movie just gets EVERYTHING right

For me Aliens will be rewatchable at any give time until the day i die. It just doesn't get old.

Fun fact, the scream of the aliens dying was produced by the film crew going to the zoo, the crew walked past the elephant and peacock enclosures and they both screamed to produce the scream. Epic.

"LETS ROCK" What a line, what a movie. The Aliens look better in this than the 2017 version.

Acid blood. Thats a horrific trait.

I swear the machine gun sounds made in the alien series is unmistakable. Like you don't hear machines like this and it's super menacing.

I happen to agree, it's a shame we can't get more alien movies like this.

Ripley is how you write a female action hero

The first mistake was not taking Ripley's report seriously. They should have established a secure dust off site for the drop ship[those automatic guard guns would have secured the site], once the processor plant was determined to be where the ID's of the colonists were, only a three man scout team[a drone would have been better]should have gone in. Once the Marines had determined the colonists were all dead, they should have returned to the SULACO, informed the authorities and waited for reinforcements. Of course Gorman was a cocky tyro and Burke had his own nefarious plan.

Happy 37th Anniversary James Cameron's "ALIENS" (JULY 18, 1986) (R.I.P. Bill Paxton)

I loved the scene with the automatic gun sentries

Hilariously impractical ginormous machine gun used in tight corridors where you can barely turn around I love it

I still respect Drakes sacrifice after all these years.

if this happen in real life, its game over man

The whole thing was based on the American experience in Vietnam - arrogant political leaders who lied and ignored warning signs, inexperienced officers leading juiced up soldiers or Marines with misplaced faith in their technological advantages right into ambushes.

So Dietrich (who found the woman with the chestburster and flamed the baby alien) gets grabbed first and accidentally flames Frost, then Frost flips over the railing and plummets several flights after being lit on fire and dies. His ammo/grenade sack he dropped before he fell blows up and the explosion hurls Crowe against a wall and kills him. Then Wierzbowski gets grabbed as he screams, the Apone gets grabbed. These 3 are cocooned, then Ripley rams the cooling tower wall and in the fall back maneuver Drake is rear guard and he was killed by Alien acid /blood...Then they call for evac and an alien kills Spunkmeyer the co-pilot and Ferro the pilot, leaving only 8 of the original 16 alive: Burke and Bishop from the company, Ripley and Newt the survivors, Hudson and Vasquez the privates, and Hicks the Corporal, and LT Gorman.

0:48 I remember thinking 'Frost, that ain't gonna do shit against an alien bro.'

Watching this movie in a movie theater is a experience I'll never forget 👍. I was in the 6th grade at the time too.

“ marines, we are leaving “

They need to make an Aliens prequel to show the backstory for these marines. And the title of the movie should be “Let’s Rock!”

“Let’s ROCK!!!” 😂

"DRAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!! ....WE ARE LEAVING!!!!"

James Cameron is the best when it comes to creating badass female characters. Even Rose in Titanic didn't take shit

This and Predator are the 2 best sci fi movies of all time

-Let's Rock!! -Yeahhh!

1987 . NO CGI . LETS ROCK !!!

Ant Soldier #1: where is everyone? Ant Soldier #2: something's not right. Barbados: don't be scared kid. -Dreamworks Antz

“Let’s ROCK!!!!” “EAT THIS!!!!” Such 🔥🔥🔥🔥 lines!

My mum loved this movie from the first time seeing it at the movies in the 1980s.she carried on watching it once a month untill she passed away aged 87 from covid in 2021.im still watching it mum.❤❤

"Check them corners"

When you send a team of soldiers deep into an unknown hostile territory with weapons that have no ammo in it, armed with only flame thrower & small cal weapons that equate to a .22LR weapon, you would (and should) know that the team is going to get toasted very soon no matter how "careful & tactical" they are. The LT should have abort the mission, recall all the troops back, and make a new plan for it. But if that happened, we will have no (great) movie to watch ;P

4:03 i never realized this but, this scene with the alien trying to open the doors is very similar to the elevator scene in Terminator 2

I'll never forget the beaping noise of the radar

My first dark descent into a hive was similar. >load save

That they managed to get anyone back from that hellpit is amazing. A testament to military training and experience.

C'mon sweathearts, lets play "Aliens Dark descent!

The thing that I always find so cool about this scene(s) is the music. Using trumpets(?) in that way, that was freaking great. It heightened the tension and make it ten more times melodramatic then any other music used in the movie. Sure, they could have use rock music, loud drumming or even synths, but this was spot on.

Take your CGI and shove it...this is legendary stuff with practical effects from '86. One of the best movies I ever saw at the theater.

The sound when the alien grabs the doornl and tries to pry it open is great..."EAT THIS"

Marines we are leaving,haven’t seen it for years,brilliant film must watch it soon

You know they get out only couse they had loaded smart gunes...amazing weapons

They don’t make movies like this anymore. Done today the cast would be ridiculous and they would blame the Aliens on climate change, yes even if another planet.

Incredible cast and characters.

The best movie of all time.

With the music the intensity is insane

Movie Trivia: The actor playing Vasquez is the same lady that plays John Conners foster mom in Terminator 2 and she also plays the mother with the two kids on the bed in Titanic.

“The walls! They’re coming out of the goddamn walls!!!”

What an awesome movie!

Dammit Apone & Frost!!! The only 2 black guys, killed in 1 scene!!!

Forget him! He’s gone!!

Literally top 10 movies ever.

God this movie was perfect.

Given how well this still holds up 37 years later, it seems it would make perfect sense for movies to move back to practical effects (as much as possible within the needs of shots, at least). CGI is fine, but I understand that it's absurdly expensive and we always know it's CGI anyway. Great practical effects always look better than CGI, and they're cheaper. So why not, especially after multiple high-profile CGI heavy underperformers?

This scene really depicts the chaos of what it’s like when things go awry in a combat situation. It’s really well done from the people involved to those viewing what is happening to their squad

Ripley had more balls than Hicks, Vazquez, Hudson and Apone together

I can't watch this cut. I've seen the movie too many times. I know the sound and music cues by heart.

You cut out the part where Ripley tells the incompetent Lt. Gorman to "DO SOMETHING!" and then gets in the driver seat of the APC.

Vazquez 😻😻😻

I was looking at some of carl weathers work he did on predator and ended up here as well, so they even make movies this good anymore, I mean such great actors, just created the mood, aliens and predator are simply the best, I take my hat off to such season actors, many are no longer with us but will never be forgotten at least not by me

I always felt they should not have included the tiny bit at 0:33 where the camera movement makes that piece of foreground material look like an alien approaching. They should have cut to it a half second later. It's confusing because the soldiers haven't actually seen the aliens just yet. Or maybe that's why they left it in!

Best sci/ fi action film ever made. Alien the best sci/fi horror ever made .

Arguably the best sequel to any movie ever made!

I watch this several times when it first came out and every time I watch it even now you begin to see how just effed up it was if you shoot those things you have a chance of dying too because of their acid blood so you dare not kill it I guess

Someone edited out Gorman saying "who's firing goddammit!" after Vasquez says "let's rock." They weren't supposed to be firing because of the nuclear reactor.

How funny the tracker were able to track Newt and aliens but cannot track the marines" movement😂😂

Protos - Human - Alien in game Starcraft.

Look I'm telling you somethings moving and it ain't us! Love that line, used to haunt me when I was young.

For me, this is a sequel that was better than the first one, by far.

one of top 5 ever filmed seqeunces music action full loaded...for me

"I like to keep this for close encounters", probly my favorite line in the whole movie even tho ots before this scene and the eat this with the shotgun is one of my favorite alien kills of all time.

When Hollywood actually wrote strong Women Characters. Vasquez, Ferro, Crowe, Ripley were all great characters..... Hollywood now....😂😂😂

You would think that this far into the future the colonial marines would have had autonomous reconnaissance drones to scout ahead.

Great movie, would like to have seen better use of the APC especially that gun on top of the vehicle.

Why is it that the further we go into the future in Movies the worse the video quality gets on body cams?

Classic!

Best Sequel Ever

One of the best scenes of the movie

최고의 영화, 최고의 명장면 시작

"Drake we are leaving!" "No u" "kk gg"

1:50 Wierzbowski polish

Its so damn epic and whats crazy is that if anyone tried to recreate it now it would probably look like crap with an over use of CGI

Aliens le Top du Cinéma d'action, vu en salle en '86 🎬👍

¡Esta escena es mi preferida y me encanta gracias!👍😊

Incredible work.

Classic relaxing movie 🍿

Vasquez (mission brief): "Look, man. I only need to know 1 thing: where they are." (First attack) "Me and my big f@%&ing mouth..."

Esa escena me facina

Whoever even THOUGHT OF THE CONCEPT OF MAKING THIS MOVIE WAS A PURE VISIONARY.

I gets its all a bit frantic but not one trained soldier thought to activate the clearly heavily armed APCs weaponry despite running like mad for its protection and by association firepower? Gorman had lost control so would a panicked soldier be fsr more likely to over react and use the full offensive ability straight away? Like diving for a gun in a fight, turning and immediately shooting but bigly. Wouldn't the APC have a auto weapon system, like sentry guns? Keep a tight perimeter.
