Quotes:

-
Hicks: Hey! I know we're all in strung out shape but stay frosty and alert. We can't afford to let one of those bastards in here.
-
[Pulling out his pump-action shotgun.]
Hicks: I like to keep this handy for close encounters.
-
Drake: Man, you look just like I feel.
-
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!
-
[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:
|
- 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).
- A lightweight dummy model of Newt (Carrie Henn) was constructed for Sigourney Weaver to carry around during the scenes just before the Queen chase.
- The camo pattern worn by the marines is actually called "frog and leaf" and its use and production has been discontinued.
- The armor for the film was built by English armorer Terry English, and painted using Humbrol paints.
- Composer James Horner cannibalized some of his scores from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
