Quotes:
|
-
Van Leuwin: Thank you, Officer Ripley, that will be all.
Ripley: God damn it, that's not all!! 'Cause if one of those things get down here then that will be all! And all this bullshit that you think is so important, you can kiss all that goodbye!
-
Ripley: What do those pulse rifles fire?
Gorman: 10 millimeter explosive tip caseless. Standard light armor piercing round. Why?
-
Drake: Man, you look just like I feel.
-
[All doors have been welded closed against the advancing aliens.]
Hicks: Now all we need is a deck of cards.
-
[On whether she would return to LV-426]
Ripley: Now please leave. I am not going back, and I am... I would not be any good to you if I did.

Trivia:
|
- Frost and Spunkmeyer mention Arcturans. In The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy series, various Arcturan species are mentioned.
- The armor for the film was built by English armorer Terry English, and painted using Humbrol paints.
- A scene on the colony before the alien infestation was deleted from the final cut. Elements of that scene show up in later James Cameron projects. The line, "...and we always get the same answer: 'Don't ask'" was used in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The character name "Lydecker" was used in "Dark Angel".
- All the marines (with the exception of Hicks) use thir real life first names as their characters' first names.
- Only six alien suits were used. The appearance of hundreds of aliens is simply clever editing and planning.
