Ripley: Micro changes in air density, my ass.
Parker: It's a robot. Ash is a god damn robot.
Ripley: Ash, that transmission... Mother's deciphered part of it. It doesn't look like an S.O.S.

Continuity mistake: In the shot of the alien's tail wrapping around the back of Lambert's legs right before it kills her, the floor is different to what it was before, there is water suddenly falling from the ceiling when there wasn't before and her trousers have changed from white to blue. This is because that shot was originally intended to be used when Brett was killed.
THGhostTrivia: When Kane is in the egg pit on the alien ship and shines his light on one of the eggs, the shape we see moving inside is in fact the hands of director Ridley Scott clad in rubber gloves.
