Quotes:
|
-
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!
-
Ripley: This is a maximum security prison, and you have no weapons of any kind?
Andrews: We've got some carving knives in the abbatoir, a few more in the mess hall. We have fire axes -- nothing terribly formidable.
Ripley: That's all?
Andrews: We're on the honor system.
Ripley: Then we're f**ked.
-
[Searching for the Alien]
David: Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!
-
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: Do you have any faith, sister?
Ripley: Not much.
Dillon: We've got a lot of faith here.
Ripley: I thought women weren't allowed.
Dillon: Well, we tolerate anybody, even the intolerable.

Trivia:
|
- Hungarian title translated back to English: "Final Solution: Death."
- First-time director David Fincher disowned the film, citing constant studio interference and actually walked out of production before editing began.
- 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.
- Sigourney Weaver said she would only shave her head if she got more money.
- A series of Aliens comic books were published that were set after the events in Aliens, featuring an adult Newt returning to space with a shell-shocked Hicks to stop the retrieval of an alien specimen by Weyland-Yutani corporation. The books were re-published to accommodate Alien 3 and Newt was re-named Billy.
