Quotes:
|
-
Ripley: These people are here to protect you. They are soldiers.
Newt: It won't make any difference.
-
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.
-
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!

Trivia:
|
- All the marines (with the exception of Hicks) use thir real life first names as their characters' first names.
- Al Matthews, who plays a Marine sergeant in this film, was in real life the first black Marine to be promoted to the rank of sergeant in the field during service in Vietnam.
- The pulse rifles that the Marines use are made from a Thompson M1A1 machine gun with a Franchi SPAS 12 shotgun underneath.
- Only six alien suits were used. The appearance of hundreds of aliens is simply clever editing and planning.
- Frost and Spunkmeyer mention Arcturans. In The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy series, various Arcturan species are mentioned.
