Van Leuwin: Thank you, Officer Ripley, that will be all.

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).
- The pulse rifles that the Marines use are made from a Thompson M1A1 machine gun with a Franchi SPAS 12 shotgun underneath.
- Bishop's Knife trick was also previously seen in John Carpenter's Dark Star. Like Bishop, Boiler misses too.
- 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.
- 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!"
