Trivia:

- The helmets the Marines wear are modified M-1 ballistic helmets.
- A scene on the colony before the alien infestation was deleted from the final cut. Elements of that scene show up in later James Cameron projects. The line, "...and we always get the same answer: 'Don't ask'" was used in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The character name "Lydecker" was used in "Dark Angel".
- 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.
- Bishop's Knife trick was previously in Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water
