Trivia:
|
- First-time director David Fincher disowned the film, citing constant studio interference and actually walked out of production before editing began.
- 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.
- Hungarian title translated back to English: "Final Solution: Death."
- 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.
