Quotes:
|
-
[Ripley gets out of bed naked.]
Ripley: Are you going to get me some clothes, or should I just go like this?
Clemens: Given the nature of our indigenous population, I would suggest clothes. None of the men here have seen a woman in years. [under his breath] Neither have I, for that matter.
-
[Dillon saves Ripley from being raped]
Dillon: You better get outta here! I gotta "re-educate" some of the brothers!
-
[On why all the prisoners call Aaron "85."]
David: A couple of us sneaked a look at his personnel file the day he arrived. It's his IQ.
-
Dillon: Why? Why the innocent, punished? Why the sacrifice? Why the pain? There aren't any promises. Nothing certain. Only that some get called, others saved. She won't ever know of the hardship and grief of those of us left behind. We commit these bodies to the void with a glad heart. For within each seed, there is a promise of a flower, and within each death, no matter how small, there is always a new life. A new beginning.
-
[Ripley is looking for the alien]
Ripley: Don't be afraid, I'm part of the family.

Trivia:
|
- A series of Aliens comic books were published that were set after the events in Aliens, featuring an adult Newt returning to space with a shell-shocked Hicks to stop the retrieval of an alien specimen by Weyland-Yutani corporation. The books were re-published to accommodate Alien 3 and Newt was re-named Billy.
- First-time director David Fincher disowned the film, citing constant studio interference and actually walked out of production before editing began.
- Original script had the alien impregnating a cow, not a dog.
- Hungarian title translated back to English: "Final Solution: Death."
- Multiple proposed scripts caused misleading advertising which implied that the movie would be set on Earth. William Gibson also drafted a script in which Ripley spent most of the film in a coma.
