Loved it. I truly enjoyed this riff more than any I've seen in a while.

I Thought lt was great. To tell the truth i have never seen this film. I mean i heard about it and all. But i never watched it because it always thought  it looked stupid and after watching it. I was right, It was pretty stupid.

I was a bit wary of a Rifftrax without Mike (the Bill / Mike / Kevin collaborations have been my consistent favourite from the beginning) but oh, Bill and Kevin were *amazing*. I would jump at another Rifftrax featuring just the two of them.

You thought Alien was stupid?

You aren't getting a Christmas card from me this year.

Average riff.  Bill and Kevin did an admirable job, but with so many spaceship exterior shots and corridor walking scenes this film just wasn't all that riffable. Still worth checking out though.

I finally got to see this one, and I LOVED it.
It reminds me a bit of the riff on Halloween, another good film with lots of "dead air" that I never noticed until I saw it riffed. Best "Presents" yet, I think, although I have enjoyed all of them.

Nice try Bill and Kevin. Much better than Mike's Predator riff, but just slightly.

Hmm.  "Much better", but "just slightly".  Um, sure.  That pins it down...      ;)

I think the reason people are noticing the "dead air" in the movie is that this was a movie that relied almost completely on tension and suspense to sell itself to the audience.  Those are the first things to break when  you introduce comedy, so you might find you actually like the movie for what it is without the riff.  That said, there was plenty of funny here, and I've gone back to watch it many times and I continue to love this riff.

I rewatched this for the first time in quite a while and I enjoy this ,  ALOT!  Kevin and Bill seem to really be having fun workin together, maybe even enjoying this slow moving but quite fun horror/sci-fi classic.

The dirty old uncle bit is one of my personal all time favorite riffs.

When I saw this movie as a kid I never once questioned why anyone would put their face up to an alien egg type thing.... oh my youth.

DON'T FORGET!!  When in doubt, bang on it!


This is one of my fav presents, very fun.

Well, I don't remember why, but I skipped this when it first came out.  Sounds like I should pick it up though!

As a huge Alien fan, I'm glad they chose to riff the inferior & unnecessary Director's Cut. It re-inserts Deleted Scenes from the prior Alien DVD, where Scott did commentary explaining why he cut them out to begin with! This "Director's Cut" was just a marketing ploy for the studios to justify a theatrical re-release. Scott openly prefers the Theatrical Cut, this isn't like Blade Runner or Legend.
