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.
-
[Ripley gets out of bed naked.]
Ripley: Are you going to get me some clothes, or should I just go like this?
Clemens: Given the nature of our indigenous population, I would suggest clothes. None of the men here have seen a woman in years. [under his breath] Neither have I, for that matter.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
- Hungarian title translated back to English: "Final Solution: Death."
- 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.
- Although the alien that hatched from the dog was a rod puppet, early filmed tests used an actual dog in an alien costume.
