Quotes:
|
-
Andrews: Let me see if I've got this straight, Lieutenant: it's an 8-foot creature, some kind with acid for blood, kills on sight, and is generally unpleasant.
-
[Dillon saves Ripley from being raped]
Dillon: You better get outta here! I gotta "re-educate" some of the brothers!
-
[To the Alien.]
Ripley: You've been in my life so long, I can't remember anything else.
-
Dillon: You're all going to die. The only question is how you check out. Do you wanna go on your feet? Or down on your f**kin' knees... beggin'? Well I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say f**k that thing! Let's fight it!
-
Dillon: Why? Why the innocent, punished? Why the sacrifice? Why the pain? There aren't any promises. Nothing certain. Only that some get called, others saved. She won't ever know of the hardship and grief of those of us left behind. We commit these bodies to the void with a glad heart. For within each seed, there is a promise of a flower, and within each death, no matter how small, there is always a new life. A new beginning.

Trivia:
|
- Original script had the alien impregnating a cow, not a dog.
- First-time director David Fincher disowned the film, citing constant studio interference and actually walked out of production before editing began.
- Sigourney Weaver said she would only shave her head if she got more money.
- Multiple proposed scripts caused misleading advertising which implied that the movie would be set on Earth. William Gibson also drafted a script in which Ripley spent most of the film in a coma.
- Hungarian title translated back to English: "Final Solution: Death."
