Quotes:
|
-
[On why all the prisoners call Aaron "85."]
David: A couple of us sneaked a look at his personnel file the day he arrived. It's his IQ.
-
Dillon: Do you have any faith, sister?
Ripley: Not much.
Dillon: We've got a lot of faith here.
Ripley: I thought women weren't allowed.
Dillon: Well, we tolerate anybody, even the intolerable.
-
Dillon: Why? Why the innocent, punished? Why the sacrifice? Why the pain? There aren't any promises. Nothing certain. Only that some get called, others saved. She won't ever know of the hardship and grief of those of us left behind. We commit these bodies to the void with a glad heart. For within each seed, there is a promise of a flower, and within each death, no matter how small, there is always a new life. A new beginning.
-
[Ripley is looking for the alien]
Ripley: Don't be afraid, I'm part of the family.
-
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.

Trivia:
|
- Original script had the alien impregnating a cow, not a dog.
- Although the alien that hatched from the dog was a rod puppet, early filmed tests used an actual dog in an alien costume.
- Sigourney Weaver said she would only shave her head if she got more money.
- First-time director David Fincher disowned the film, citing constant studio interference and actually walked out of production before editing began.
- 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.
