About the movie: The planet from Alien has been colonized, but contact is lost. This time, the rescue team has impressive firepower, but will it be enough?

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Aliens (1986)?
a.		Lara Croft is British and Alex West is American. However, the actress Angelina Jolie who plays Croft is American and Daniel Craig, the actor who plays West, is British.
b.		Four reels out of five survive in nitrate at the UCLA Film and Television Archives.
c.		A complicated effect shot (the Marines entering the Alien nest) had already been filmed just before James Remar was replaced by Michael Biehn. A re-shoot would be too expensive, so the Corporal Hicks seen with his back towards camera is still played by James Remar.
d.		This was the last of four films to pair Shirley Temple with Bill Robinson.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Aliens (1986)?
a.		On the DVD commentary, Ben Affleck says that he and Jill Quigg improvised the scene early in the movie in which Quigg (as Dottie) talks to the press about the flyers they had posted and the vigils they had planned. Affleck says that he would feed her some lines and then she would perform them; her mispronunciation of the word "vigil" as "visual" came from her mishearing what Affleck had said from behind the camera, but he later decided to keep it the way she had said it.
b.		The robots Gog and Magog were operated by midgets.
c.		Like most films, the movie wasnt shot in sequence. But for added realism, James Cameron filmed the scene where we first meet the Colonial Marines (one of the earliest scenes) last. This was so that the camaraderie of the Marines was realistic because the actors had spent months filming together.
d.		Outtakes reveal a couple of things. First, Laurence Olivier had trouble using the large switchblade made for his character. Often, he would try to activate it and the blade would not come out. Second, several actors enjoyed imitating the unique speech patterns of producer Robert Evans. Years later, Dustin Hoffman used that imitation for his performance in Wag the Dog.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Aliens (1986)?
a.		Since production took place in England, the director and producers conveniently cast many American actors who were already living in England. This was particularly important for the actress playing Newt, who had to be a minor. Carrie Henn, who played Newt, was an American girl living with her family in England (actually, a bit of an English accent can be heard when she says, "Lets go," and, "There is a short-cut across the roof," during the Alien attack at the end of the movie). Her movie brother Timmy (seen only in the extended version) is also her real-life brother Christopher Henn.
b.		Cartoon Networks Adult Swim aired the film, in its entirety, on April 1 2009 and 2010, as an April Fools Day joke.
c.		Alice Parkinson credited her interest in the film to her being sort of a tomboy as a child.
d.		Joan Crawford had script and cast approval.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Aliens (1986)?
a.		Second in the poll for FIPRESCI GRAND PRIX OF THE YEAR 2003.
b.		When Horowitz rigs the radio to explode in Lofgrens face, the song playing on it is The Little River Bands "Man On Your Mind".
c.		To bring the alien queen to life would take anything between 14 and 16 operators.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Aliens (1986)?
a.		The Bible passage that Rogers quotes "The voice of him who crieth in the wilderness... " is from Isaiah 40:3.
b.		Although the first script draft turned in on 30 May 1985 was very close to the final film, some scenes in this version were dropped in the final film. Those include: A shower scene with Ripley in a futuristic shower environment Ripley going into more detail about the facehuggers while briefing the Marines, calling the facehugger "a walking sex organ" to which Hudson replies, "Sounds like you, Hicks." There are thirty atmospheric processing units on the planet, as opposed to only one in the final film. Newt formally offering Ripley to be her daughter Bishop encountering an alien while crawling along the tunnel (this scene also appeared in the final script but neither in the theatrical release nor in the Special Edition) The second drop ship refueling itself before leaving the Sulaco under Bishops remote control. The first draft also included a scene with a cocooned Burke, which was shot but not included in any of the versions of the movie.
c.		The film includes a very touching scene based on the execution of Private Eddie Slovik, the only case of a soldier executed in US Armed Forces during World War Two. In 1960, Frank Sinatra intended to produce a film based on the same story with a screenplay by Albert Maltz, one of the blacklisted in the infamous Hollywood Ten. But Sinatra was advised against it, because he himself could be suspected of communism, and finally decided against the project. Carl Foreman, who left the United States in 1952 because he was being investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee, decided to use the case of Private Slovik, and in the scene utilized the Frank Sinatra version of the song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".

Songs by both artists are featured on the films soundtrack.
c.		Despite being a box-office flop, the film won five Oscars, but this made no difference to the movie public.
d.		The mechanism used to make the face-huggers thrash about in the stasis tubes in the science lab came from one of the "flying piranhas" in one of James Camerons earlier movies Piranha Part Two: The Spawning. It took nine people to make the face-hugger work: one person for each leg and one for the tail.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Aliens (1986)?
a.		The time aboard the C57D is stated as being 17:01 hours when the ship enters orbit around Altair IV. Gene Roddenberry, a fan of this movie, would later use 1701 as the naval construction contract number of the Starship Enterprise.
b.		The 1985 version of Docs home is the garage that Marty and Doc hide the DeLorean in in 1955. In the opening scene an article shows that the mansion burned down years before, either for insurance money or due to an explosive experiment. The presence of the commercial development also implies that Doc sold the land surrounding the house for more money to fund his project. After all, he does state later that it took "many years and his entire family fortune" to build the time machine.
c.		The script evolved from a planned but never-filmed short called "Feminist Warriors" (which was loosely based on the Jonbenet Ramsey murder) and was slated to star Jean Smart, Cathy Moriarty and Suzanne Pleshette. The script underwent a massive rewrite and, in the end, only Smart stayed with the project.
d.		When filming the scene with Newt in the duct, Carrie Henn kept deliberately blowing her scene so she could slide down the vent, which she later called a slide three stories tall. James Cameron finally dissuaded her by saying that if she completed the shot, she could play on it as much as she wanted. She did, and he kept his promise.

b.		There was talk of bringing H.R. Giger back for the second movie to do more design work, but James Cameron decided against it because there was only one major design to be done, that of the Alien Queen, which Cameron had already done some drawings of.
c.		The wealthy film producer Moustapha Akkad had admittedly little interest in this film and helped make it primarily due to the enthusiasm of John Carpenter and Irwin Yablans. However, when the film turned out to be a huge box-office smash, Akkad saw an opportunity and facilitated every Halloween sequel. This does not include the two remakes, which were produced after his death in 2005.
d.		Even though this installment in the "Predator" franchise explicitly wanted to part with the crossover AvP story arc, it does contain at least three nods to the "Alien" franchise: - 1) at one point, while (obviously, given the movies universe) facing near-certain death, one character tells another "If the time comes, Ill do us both", a reference to Hicks almost identical line in Aliens, 2) when the group finds the body of an earlier victim of the antagonists, he has a large hole in his chest with the ribs bent outwards, referencing the way xenomorph young emerge from their host and the wound found on the "space jockey" in Alien, and when the group enters the Predators camp theres a brief view of an Alien skull on the ground.

c.		James Cameron had the actors (the Marines) personalize their own costumes (battle armor and fatigues) for added realism (much like soldiers in Vietnam wrote and drew things on their own helmets). Actress Cynthia Dale Scott, who plays Cpl. Dietrich has the words "BLUE ANGEL" written on the back of her helmet. Marlene Dietrich was of course the star of Der blaue Engel or Blue Angel. Bill Paxton has "Louise" written on his armor. This is a dedication to his real-life wife, Louise Newbury.
