* [[Go Out |
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: Gives one last [[Cheshire Cat Grin|winning smile]] before Ripley yanks out his plug, freezing his expression in place. |

* [[Logic Bomb]]: Once found out, Ash drops the facade of being human and starts behaving erratically. Some have theorized that the conflicting orders of "[[Three Laws Compliant|Do not kill]]" and "Bring back lifeform, all other priorities rescinded" proves too much for him. |

The marine team's computer technician, played by a pre-fame [[Hey It's That Guy|Bill Paxton]]. At first he acts all arrogant and overconfident, but once the marines get totally pwned by the xenomorphs, loses his shit completely and becomes the movie's Lambert-equivalent, being all scared and whiney. He later regains his composure and redeems himself via [[Heroic Sacrifice]] during the aliens' attack on the med-lab. '''Really''' pissed off once he finds out the truth about Burke. |

* [[Badass Boast]]: Hudson attempts one that even uses the word "badass" as often as he can. He does not deal well with the loss of the high-tech gear that he describes in said boast. He does go down shooting while spitting out even more 'heat of battle' boasts, as well. An Alien has to ambush him from below to take him down. |
