Quotes:
|
-
Andrews: I'm afraid we'll have to assume that there's a good chance this simple bastard has murdered them!
Dillon: Now you DON'T know that! He's never lied to me! He's crazy, he's a fool, but he's NOT a liar!
-
Ripley: This is a maximum security prison, and you have no weapons of any kind?
Andrews: We've got some carving knives in the abbatoir, a few more in the mess hall. We have fire axes -- nothing terribly formidable.
Ripley: That's all?
Andrews: We're on the honor system.
Ripley: Then we're f**ked.
-
Andrews: Let me see if I've got this straight, Lieutenant: it's an 8-foot creature, some kind with acid for blood, kills on sight, and is generally unpleasant.
-
[To the Alien.]
Ripley: You've been in my life so long, I can't remember anything else.
-
[Dillon saves Ripley from being raped]
Dillon: You better get outta here! I gotta "re-educate" some of the brothers!

Trivia:
|
- Multiple proposed scripts caused misleading advertising which implied that the movie would be set on Earth. William Gibson also drafted a script in which Ripley spent most of the film in a coma.
- Original script had the alien impregnating a cow, not a dog.
- Hungarian title translated back to English: "Final Solution: Death."
- Although the alien that hatched from the dog was a rod puppet, early filmed tests used an actual dog in an alien costume.
- First-time director David Fincher disowned the film, citing constant studio interference and actually walked out of production before editing began.
