Trivia:
|
- During the scene inside the APV preparing for battle, "El riesgo vive siempre" can be seen scrawled in white across Vasquez's armor. This is Spanish for "The risky always live"
- The M-56 smart guns and the sentry guns built for the movie were designed around German MG 42 machine guns.
- A lightweight dummy model of Newt (Carrie Henn) was constructed for Sigourney Weaver to carry around during the scenes just before the Queen chase.
- 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".
- Frost and Spunkmeyer mention Arcturans. In The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy series, various Arcturan species are mentioned.
