In Reply to: RE: Goff, when we went to see Alien during its first run, there was a teen girl with her younger brother posted by Road Warrior on March 12, 2014 at 13:59:48

It was at the Uptown Theater in Washington, DC, a grand old place sporting a balcony and big, curved screen. Anyway, when the "chest-popping" scene occurred, about 1/4 of the audience jumped up and began streaming for the exits, some holding their hands over their mouths as though to keep from vomiting. The guy directly in front of us yelled "Jesus, God!!" and joined the rest of the crowd leaving. I busted out laughing.

I had never seen behavior like before and certainly never since. That movie scared the livin' shit outta folks...
