Quotes:
|
-
Ripley: Whenever he says *anything* you say "right," Brett, you know that?
Brett: Right!
Ripley: Parker, what do you think? Your staff just follows you around and says "right"? Looks like a regular parrot.
Parker: [laughs] Yes... What, are you some kind of parrot?
Brett: Right!
-
Parker: Before we dock, I think we ought to discuss the bonus situation. Brett and I, we think we ought to, we deserve full shares. Right?
Brett: You see, Mr. Parker and I feel that the bonus situation has never been on a, an equitable level.
Dallas: Well, you get what you contracted for like everybody else.
Brett: Yes, but everybody else gets more than us.
-
[Ripley has tried to disengage the self-destruct.]
Ripley: Mother! Turn the cooling unit back on! Mother! ...You bitch!
-
Kane: Oh, I feel dead.
Parker: Anybody ever tell you you look dead?
-
Ripley: When we throw the switches, how long before the ship blows?
Parker: Ten minutes.
Ripley: No bullshit?
Parker: If we ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space.

Trivia:
|
- In _##Blue Planet, The (10962)##_, David Attenborough said the 'Alien' monster was modeled after the Phronima, a creature spotted by submersibles at great depths. It's only an inch long, mostly transparent, and it looks like a shrimp with head, eyes, jaws and teeth just like the H.R. Giger monster.
- This is one of two science fiction movies featuring Ian Holm in which there is a character by the name of "Dallas". The other one is The Fifth Element (with Bruce Willis as Corben Dallas).
- According to a quote from Veronica Cartwright in a film magazine, in the scene where the alien's tail wraps around her legs, they are actually Harry Dean Stanton's legs, in a shot originally filmed for another scene entirely.
- Parts of the Nostromo set were cannibalized to make the corridor in the Vogon spaceship in _##Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, The (3537)##_.
- The Nostromo was built to the, then, current NASA specifications for spacecraft. Some of the displays from the Nostromo are reused in Blade Runner.
