Anecdotes
According to Yaphet Kotto, Sir Ridley Scott told him to annoy Sigourney Weaver off-camera, so that there would be genuine tension between their characters. Kotto regretted this, because he really liked Weaver.

Gaffes
(at around 1h 35 mins) A crewman with a black panel of some kind is visible through the smoke as Ripley runs through the corridors at the end of the film.

Citations
[last lines]
Ripley: Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo, third officer reporting. The other members of the crew - Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash, and Captain Dallas - are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.
[to Jonesy the cat]
Ripley: Come on, cat.

Crédits fous
The title of the movie is slowly created one line at a time at the top of the screen during the opening credits, starting out with the I, then the slash in A and the backslash in N, and then the vertical lines in L and E (so it looks like / I I I \). After that, the ensuing lines of each letter are added slowly one at a time until the title is fully visible.

Versions alternatives
The 2003 DVD release plasters the 1979 version of the 20th Century Fox logo with the 1980's version.

The facehugger scared me as a kid and i still find em creepy.

Everything has already been said about this great film n there seems to be little left to say but lemme contribute a lil more by praising how good this film is.

I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs n as a kid i found it to be a bit slow but was shaken by the chestburster scene.

The facehugger terrified me as a kid.

Revisited all the four parts in the early 2k on dvds which i own.

Revisited this part again few days back as i am on Alien movie marathon n very impatient to check out Prometheus n Covenant.

I feel that this part is inspired by Bava's Planet of the Vampires.

The ruins with the skeletal remains, the design and shots of the ship itself does have the deja vu effect.

This one is atmospheric n dark, gory at times, it has enuff stuff for sci fi fans, it also has slasher n war like tone.

But the best thing is the feminist tone where in this part the women are not being cast as the helpless victims.
