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!
-
Ripley: These people are here to protect you. They are soldiers.
Newt: It won't make any difference.
-
[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.
-
[All doors have been welded closed against the advancing aliens.]
Hicks: Now all we need is a deck of cards.
-
Newt: We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly.

Trivia:
|
- The mechanism used to make the face-huggers thrash about in the stasis tubes in the science lab came from one of the "flying piranhas" in one of Cameron's earlier movies Piranha Part Two: The Spawning. It took nine people to make the face-hugger work; one person for each leg and one for the tail.
- Bishop's Knife trick was previously in Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water
- The pulse rifles that the Marines use are made from a Thompson M1A1 machine gun with a Franchi SPAS 12 shotgun underneath.
- The M-56 smart guns and the sentry guns built for the movie were designed around German MG 42 machine guns.
- The helmets the Marines wear are modified M-1 ballistic helmets.
