Quotes:
|
-
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.
-
Hicks: Hey! I know we're all in strung out shape but stay frosty and alert. We can't afford to let one of those bastards in here.
-
Drake: Man, you look just like I feel.
-
Newt: We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly.

Trivia:
|
- All the marines (with the exception of Hicks) use thir real life first names as their characters' first names.
- A lightweight dummy model of Newt (Carrie Henn) was constructed for Sigourney Weaver to carry around during the scenes just before the Queen chase.
- "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.
- 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"
- Hicks was originally played by James Remar, but Michael Biehn replaced him a few days after principal photography began, due to "artistic differences" between Remar and director James Cameron.
