Trivia:
|
- Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) daughter was played by Weaver's mother.
- The armor for the film was built by English armorer Terry English, and painted using Humbrol paints.
- "Sulaco" is the name of the town in Joseph Conrad's "Nostromo". See also Alien.
- 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".
- The pulse rifles that the Marines use are made from a Thompson M1A1 machine gun with a Franchi SPAS 12 shotgun underneath.
