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 preparation for the actors playing Colonial Marines included two weeks' training with the S.A.S. (Special Air Service, Britain's elite anti-terrorist force) and reading Robert A. Heinlein's novel "Starship Troopers". Michael Biehn missed the training, as he was a last-minute replacement.
- The M-56 smart guns and the sentry guns built for the movie were designed around German MG 42 machine guns.
- There were two versions of the "Bug Stompers" logo designed for the movie, one wearing sneakers, and one wearing combat boots as seen on the drop ship.
- 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).
