Quotes:
|
-
[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.
-
[All doors have been welded closed against the advancing aliens.]
Hicks: Now all we need is a deck of cards.
-
Hicks: Hey! I know we're all in strung out shape but stay frosty and alert. We can't afford to let one of those bastards in here.
-
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!
-
Newt: We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly.

Trivia:
|
- 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 APC was modeled after an airplane tug.
- The camo pattern worn by the marines is actually called "frog and leaf" and its use and production has been discontinued.
- The armor for the film was built by English armorer Terry English, and painted using Humbrol paints.
- In both the standard and special addition VHS versions, the fifteen minute countdown at the end of the film is indeed fifteen minutes.
