Triviass:
|
- Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) daughter was played by Weaver's mother.
- Hicks was originally played by James Remar, but Michael Biehn replaced him a few days after principal photography began, due to "artistic differences" between Remar and director James Cameron.
- The shotgun that Hicks (Michael Biehn) pulls out in case of "close encounters" is the same weapon that Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) used in The Terminator, another James Cameron film.
- The music heard at the beginning of the movie while the ship is drifting in space is from the Gayane Ballet Suite by Khachaturian. This music is also featured in a shot of a ship hovering above the moon in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).
- Bishop's Knife trick was previously in Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water
