Trivia
Sigourney Weaver threatened to not do any more "Alien" movies after seeing the movie's final cut, so as a compromise, the 1987 Special Edition was released on Laser-Disc.
Quotes
Salvage Team Leader:
Bio-readouts are all in the green, looks like she's alive. Well, there goes our salvage, guys.
Goofs
The first dropship has the "Bugstomper: We endanger species" logo just beneath the cockpit. When the APC rolls around the corner and is loaded onto the dropship we see the other side (pointing to the right) of the dropship and the logo faces the same way as on the pointing to the left side. In every other scene the Bigstomper logo has been correctly painted in a reverse manner it still faces toward the front end of the dropship.
Crazy Credits
The ALIENS title forms slowly during the opening credits. The full title isn't seen until the opening credits are finished, and the "I" illuminates brightly.
