Quotes:
|
-
Andrews: This is Rumor Control. Here are the facts!
-
[Dillon saves Ripley from being raped]
Dillon: You better get outta here! I gotta "re-educate" some of the brothers!
-
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.
-
[Ripley is looking for the alien]
Ripley: Don't be afraid, I'm part of the family.
-
[On why all the prisoners call Aaron "85."]
David: A couple of us sneaked a look at his personnel file the day he arrived. It's his IQ.

Trivia:
|
- First-time director David Fincher disowned the film, citing constant studio interference and actually walked out of production before editing began.
- 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.
- 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."
- Sigourney Weaver said she would only shave her head if she got more money.
