Trivia:
|
- The music heard at the beginning of the movie while the ship is drifting in space is from the Gayane Ballet Suite by Khachaturian. This music is also featured in a shot of a ship hovering above the moon in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).
- In both the standard and special addition VHS versions, the fifteen minute countdown at the end of the film is indeed fifteen minutes.
- Frost and Spunkmeyer mention Arcturans. In The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy series, various Arcturan species are mentioned.
- The mechanism used to make the face-huggers thrash about in the stasis tubes in the science lab came from one of the "flying piranhas" in one of Cameron's earlier movies Piranha Part Two: The Spawning. It took nine people to make the face-hugger work; one person for each leg and one for the tail.
- The camo pattern worn by the marines is actually called "frog and leaf" and its use and production has been discontinued.
