Quotes:

Lambert: I can't see a goddamn thing.
Kane: Quit griping!
Lambert: I like griping.
Kane: Oh, I feel dead.
Parker: Anybody ever tell you you look dead?
[After discovering the alien bleeds acid.]
Parker: It's got a wonderful defense mechanism: you don't dare kill it.
Ripley: Ash, that transmission -- Mother's deciphered part of it. It doesn't look like an S.O.S.
Ash: Well, what is it, then?
Ripley: Well, I, it looks like a warning. I'm going to go out after them.
Ash: What's the point? I mean... by the time it takes to get there, you'll, they'll know if it's a warning or not, yes?
Ripley: Come on, Ash, I mean, the Science Department should be able to help us. What can we do to drive it?
Ash: Yes, well, it has adapted remarkably well to our atmosphere considering its nutritional requirements. The only thing we don't know about is temperature.
Ripley: OK, what about temperature? What happens if we change it?
Ash: Let's try it. Most animals retreat from fire, yes?
Dallas: Fire, yeah.

Trivia:

The front (face) part of the alien costume's head is made from a cast of a real human skull.
A lawsuit by A.E. van Vogt, claiming plagiarism of his 1939 story "Discord in Scarlet" (which he had also incorporated in the 1950 novel "Voyage of the Space Beagle"), was settled out of court.
The decal on the door of the Nostromo is a "checkerboard square", the symbol for Purina's pet food label, designating: Alien Chow.
Many of the non-English versions of the film's title translate as something similar to "Alien: The 8th Passenger".
Three aliens were made: a model and two suits. One of the suits was for the seven foot tall Masai tribesman Bolajo Bolaji, and the other was for a trained stunt man.
