Legacy
According to the Aliens making of documentary this film (directed by Aliens producer Walter Hill) was a big influence on the Aliens storyline. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.234.211 (talk) 05:51, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I saw that in the bonus footage for Aliens too. The question is, is this info important enough to be mentioned in this article? I mean, many films are inspirations for many later films. Do we mention in the article for Hitchcock's Psycho all the movies that this film influenced? There would be too many I believe, but especially, that "science" (of this influenced that) is probably not well documented and can easily turn into speculation.--Munin75 (talk) 00:28, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Soundtrack
According to the closing credits the soundtrack "is available.... etc...". However, I believe it was never released and only a few tracks eventually became available on a Ry Cooder compilation album. Does anyone know why it was not released when, apparently, it was clearly intended to be? Stephenjh (talk) 18:09, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Blooper I don't feel sufficiently informed about to correct
"''The film was shortened to 135 minutes ..."

Given that its stated running time is 105 minutes, how could that be a shortening? Perhaps the editor in question meant 1 hour and 35 minutes? Daniel Case (talk) 01:51, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Iranian Version
I am not disputing the possibility of a government sponsored edit, but a single cite to a video sharing site is a less than useful source. Either some English or Persian news sources on this would be better. Jmackaerospace (talk) 23:32, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
