Quotes:
|
-
[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!
-
Dillon: You're all going to die. The only question is how you check out. Do you wanna go on your feet? Or down on your f**kin' knees... beggin'? Well I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say f**k that thing! Let's fight it!
-
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.

Trivia:
|
- First-time director David Fincher disowned the film, citing constant studio interference and actually walked out of production before editing began.
- Original script had the alien impregnating a cow, not a dog.
- A series of Aliens comic books were published that were set after the events in Aliens, featuring an adult Newt returning to space with a shell-shocked Hicks to stop the retrieval of an alien specimen by Weyland-Yutani corporation. The books were re-published to accommodate Alien 3 and Newt was re-named Billy.
- Sigourney Weaver said she would only shave her head if she got more money.
- 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.
