Quotes:
|
-
Van Leuwin: Thank you, Officer Ripley, that will be all.
Ripley: God damn it, that's not all!! 'Cause if one of those things get down here then that will be all! And all this bullshit that you think is so important, you can kiss all that goodbye!
-
[All doors have been welded closed against the advancing aliens.]
Hicks: Now all we need is a deck of cards.
-
[Pulling out his pump-action shotgun.]
Hicks: I like to keep this handy for close encounters.
-
Ripley: These people are here to protect you. They are soldiers.
Newt: It won't make any difference.
-
[On whether she would return to LV-426]
Ripley: Now please leave. I am not going back, and I am... I would not be any good to you if I did.

Trivia:
|
- During the scene inside the APV preparing for battle, "El riesgo vive siempre!" can be seen scrawled in white across Vasquez's armor. This is Spanish for "The risky always live!"
- Michael Biehn's character gets bitten on the hand by another character. This happens to him in every James Cameron movie he's in - see The Abyss and The Terminator.
- All the marines (with the exception of Hicks) use thir real life first names as their characters' first names.
- The mechanism used to make the face-huggers thrash about in the stasis tubes in the science lab came from one of the "flying piranhas" in one of Cameron's earlier movies Piranha Part Two: The Spawning. It took nine people to make the face-hugger work; one person for each leg and one for the tail.
- 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.
