0:52 Sigourney's impression of the chestburster is priceless

I always remembered the horrible way Kane's unconscious, dying body was spasming whilst everyone looked on in horror.

John's acting is just extraordinary in that scene...unbelievable performance

I've heard that the Actress who played Lambert had a bit of a Panic attack after that and had to be calmed down, which is a heck a lot understanding! Amazing though!

“When we got down to the set everyone was wearing ponchos, which should’ve made us think something is going to happen that’s not….usual.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

wow no wonder that scenes so convincing lol

That insight from S weaver is gold. I don't care if she's described it 100 times before, I love it.

The absolute Queen of sci fi and the most bad ass woman who ever lived right there.

“Oh no, not again…!” #iykyk 🤣♥️

Segourney Weaver is such a great actress and possibly, she is one of the first women in acting as a brave character in cinema.

Amazing woman

Awesome great movie of all time A L I E N RIP John 😔

I love listening to stories about Alien, be it pre-production, production, post, from actors or directors...I just love the world of Alien and all the sequels. Sci-Fi and horror, the perfect combination.

An absolute masterpiece. Great acting,. Cinematography,. Screenplay &. Superbly directed. ! One of my favourite films! A classic. I would love to see alien on the big screen again one day. 😂😂

Brilliant, brilliant film, with not a lot of dialogue. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Everything is so overblown now.

On of my favourite films,. A masterpiece! Great acting & cinematography,. Direction,. Excellent screenplay. A classic. 😂

She can still get it 💯

I love to meet Sigourney Weaver. I admit in every horror movie the hero is usually a man. It was shocking when it was revealed that Weaver was destined to be the hero. But yes, Kane's death scene as the Alien bursted out of his chest is what triggered the horror. I remember when some students at a high school in New Jersey did a play to pay tribute to the 40th anniversary of Alien's debut in 1979, and Sigourney Weaver was there to see it and was very impressed. The Alien franchise is among my favorite Sci-fi horror movies of all time. "In space, no one can hear you scream"👽

He had an appropriate name playing that part.

Fantastic account! Makes film all the more interesting after all these years. That an actor can both not be acting and afraid another in real peril is nice bit of humility from a most vain egotistical art. As science student I was always disappointed at the lack of logic like creature grows from cobra sized to lion. But back then this and Jaws used absence of the creature to such suspenseful effect.

like fine wine

Well Ridley Scott planned it that way and it was a combination of not knowing what was happening and the genius actor that was John Hurt. I can watch that scene over and over and it never gets old. I saw it when it came out when I was eight years old, it was poor judgement of my parents to take me and my brother along. Sounded like a horror house in that theatre when that scene happened. I'm sure Ridley Scott had witnessed the reaction he's been immensely proud of his work.

John killed it. Best take real reactions from cast aswell as the audience probably. Idk

Must of been terrifying

eyah sure.

Cool fact. I didn’t know

The British are best at making movies 🎥

Scott is not from this planet. Kkkkm
