1 "Game over man, game over!" is a quote by which marine, who is never short of snappy quotes?
Answer: Hudson

Throughout the entire movie Hudson is just teeming with one liners. This is probably his most iconic line though. He says it right after the combination of the first slaughter of the marines and the drop-ship crashing. He is constantly giving up hope, and this line is just another way of showing that.

10 "Maybe we could build a fire, sing a couple of songs, huh?" is an unexpected, snide retort to "game over man, game over" by which other character?

18 After waking up from cryosleep, when the marines first meet Ripley, Vasquez says "Hey Mira, who's ___________?" To which Disney princess does she compare Ripley?
Answer: Snow White

Ferro of course responds with "She's supposed to be some kinda consultant. Apparently she saw an alien once." They obviously start with a unfounded lack of faith in the continual hero of the "Alien" movies.

In the deleted segment in which we see Newt and her family heading out to investigate the possibility of an alien ship, Newt's father calls her mother by her name only one time, when he summons her to take a look at the spacecraft that has just come into view through the vehicle window.
