I think the irony in Biehn's late casting as Hicks, and his missing the military training the rest of the cast had, is that it gave him exactly the casual, calm, cool charisma everybody loved him for. Hicks sometimes seems like he's on another planet from the rest of the marines, and that's kinda what sets him apart.

God, it's crazy how close this film came to not having Sigourney Weaver. Thank god Cameron put his foot down.

So many great lines; “Guess she didn’t like the cornbread neither.”

This movie is timeless :) I dont think anything will ever come close to it. I recently rewatched it and it still holds up like The Thing.

"The Legendary Michael Biehn". Well played sir, well played.

I turned 17 the summer Aliens came out, so I could get into R rated movies without having to sneak in, and I ended up seeing this movie 6 times, because it is a STONE COLD CLASSIC!

35 years later and still one of the greatest Sci-fi films ever made. And easily one of the greatest sequels of all time. The characters, the camaraderie, the one-liners, the lore, the effects, and on top of it all: Ripley's maternal heroism. Legitimately a Classic.

I happened to come across this film on TNT late one night when I was 12 years old in 1993, and was hooked. It was nothing like anything l had seen before. I mostly love it. Mostly.

I realized just today. Ripley and Sarah Connor have basically the same arc becoming a badass woman. A regular woman in the first movie, who gets hardened by the second movie through some tough events.

Crazy. It is so difficult to make a great sequel. And Cameron did 2 of the best sequels ever.

This movie was made for $18 million? That's fucking insane.

Was a crime she never won an Oscar, one of the most compelling Female performances of all time imo.

I'm so glad Cameron stuck to his guns to have Sigourney involved. She is a great actress very capable of carrying these movies and Ripley is such a gripping character. It's such a stupid idea that a male audience must have a male lead to enjoy the film. Sigourney and Alien have proved that notion wrong from the beginning.

Man, I had no idea how low the budget was. What a masterpiece of talented, creative spending. Every penny on screen and many millions of dollars more.

I saw Aliens upon release at Marble Arch in London, when I was 16 (naughty) it was amazing- still one of the best films ever. At that time people still cheered and applauded films and I'll always remember the reaction from the audience when Ripley said "get away from her you bitch!" We went mad. 😎
