Quotes:

-
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!
-
[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.
-
Gorman: I'm coming in.
Hudson: I feel safer already.
-
Hudson: They're coming outta the walls. They're coming outta the goddamn walls!
-
Drake: Man, you look just like I feel.

Trivia:
|
- "Sulaco" is the name of the town in Joseph Conrad's "Nostromo". See also Alien.
- The M-56 smart guns and the sentry guns built for the movie were designed around German MG 42 machine guns.
- The body mounts for Vasquez's and Drake's smart guns are taken from Steadicam gear.
- 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.
- During the scene inside the APV preparing for battle, "El riesgo vive siempre" can be seen scrawled in white across Vasquez's armor. This is Spanish for "The risky always live"
