Quotes:
|
-
Ripley: What do those pulse rifles fire?
Gorman: 10 millimeter explosive tip caseless. Standard light armor piercing round. Why?
-
Hudson: They're coming outta the walls. They're coming outta the goddamn walls!
-
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!
-
Ripley: These people are here to protect you. They are soldiers.
Newt: It won't make any difference.
-
Gorman: I'm coming in.
Hudson: I feel safer already.

Trivia:
|
- The camo pattern worn by the marines is actually called "frog and leaf" and its use and production has been discontinued.
- The body mounts for Vasquez's and Drake's smart guns are taken from Steadicam gear.
- "She thought they said 'illegal aliens' and signed up..." said Hudson. This line (directed towards Vasquez) was in inside joke amongst the actors. Jenette Goldstein (Vasquez) had gone to the audition thinking the film would be about illegal immigrants. She arrived with waist-long hair and lots of makeup. Everyone else was wearing military fatigues.
- Michael Biehn's character gets bitten on the hand by another character. This happens to him in every James Cameron movie he's in - see The Abyss and The Terminator.
- None of the models or the original designs of the Narcissus (the Nostromo's shuttle) from Alien could be found, so set designers and model-makers had to reconstruct the model of the ship and the interior set from watching Alien.
