Game over
The film has been quoted, including Paxton's "Game over, man, game over". Weaver's "Get away from her, you bitch" is considered one of "Aliens" most iconic lines, and has often been cited in other media. Paxton is remembered as the only actor to play characters killed by an alien, a Terminator (in "The Terminator"), and a Predator (in 1990's "Predator 2"). The ensemble cast's popularity led to many members appearing together in later films, including Henriksen, Goldstein and Paxton in "Near Dark" (1987) and Goldstein and Rolston in "Lethal Weapon 2" (1989). Biehn lost a role in Cameron's "Avatar" (2009) because Weaver had been cast, and the director did not want to associate that film with "Aliens".
