Quotes:
|
-
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.
-
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!
-
[Dillon saves Ripley from being raped]
Dillon: You better get outta here! I gotta "re-educate" some of the brothers!
-
Andrews: This is Rumor Control. Here are the facts!
-
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.

Trivia:
|
- First-time director David Fincher disowned the film, citing constant studio interference and actually walked out of production before editing began.
- 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.
- Although the alien that hatched from the dog was a rod puppet, early filmed tests used an actual dog in an alien costume.
- Original script had the alien impregnating a cow, not a dog.
