* [[I Cannot Self
* [[I Gave My Word]]: [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|"...and hope to die."]]
* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]
Line 57:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: In comparison to most of her comrades, she's this.

Line 99:

The doctor, chief [[Buffy
We later find out he's a traitorous android who is following the company's Special Order 937, which is that the Alien must get to Earth and that the crew is expendable. He tries to kill Ripley after she finds out about Special Order 937, but is stopped by Lambert and Parker, the latter of whom bashes his head in with a fire extinguisher and later incinerates him.
Line 162:
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Former [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Team Pet]]
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?|What Happened to the Cat?]] - Doesn't show up anymore after the first arc of the second movie. Ripley tells him he's staying there while she leaves for the colony with the marines, so presumably she left him with someone else while she was away (she had expected to come back, after all).
== Sulaco Crew ==
Line 220:
Portrayed by Bill Paxton }}
The marine team's computer technician, played by a pre-fame [[Hey
* [[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.
Line 252:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]
* [[The Ladette]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Nice Job Shooting that Alien With Exploding Rounds and Killing Your Boyfriend, Vasquez.

* [[Spicy Latina]]: Through a [[Race Lift]]. Jennette Goldstein is actually Jewish.
Line 443:
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Was originally sent to prison for multiple violent murders. He mentions that he "knew lots of pretty girls, back home" and that they liked him [[Fridge Horror|"for a while"]].
* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: Apologizes (a little frantically) after slitting another prisoner's throat to get to the alien.
* [[Blood
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Nobody believes him about the alien but Ripley. The rest think he murdered the others on his crew.
* [[The Cuckoolander Was Right]]: And is proven right in a really gruesome way.
* [[Insane Equals Violent]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: in the [[Re Cut]], the prisoners actually ''did'' manage to trap the alien. Unfortunately Golic, who worships the thing as a kind of dragon, kills the guard and lets it out again. Oops.
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: He's easily excited, easily upset, and apologizes frantically to his murder victim like a misbehaving child.
* [[Talkative Loon]]: Halfway. He doesn't say a lot, but when he ''does'' speak, he tends to babble.
Line 459:
* [[Big No]]: When {{spoiler|Ripley falls into the fires to stop the Company from getting the Alien Queen inside her.}}
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]
* [[One

* [[Last
* [[Pet the Dog]]: After Vriess successfully pilots the Betty and saves their butts, Johner gives him a big ol' ''kiss''.
