Just watched ALIEN last night, so I got 12 right. Atleast, I think they are right.

It's been a long time since I've seen the movie.

I'm going to guess Ripley was third in line for command.

Ripley remarks that part of the transmission is a warning or alarm. Not an SOS or distress signal.

I'm thinking Ripley refuses to open the hatch, and Dallas overrides her. I vaguely remember that.

It's always just called "acid", but it amounts to a molecular acid. It's not just an ordinary strong acid. The biochemistry is pretty vague on just how a molecular acid functions for respiration, in relation to what we consider a breathable atmosphere (23% oxygen, .003% carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon, helium, methane, nitrides, etc).

I'm not sure about the time home. I'll guess 10 months.

Cain went into the ship. He's the one that the face hugger snags. I'm going to guess he dies from the blood loss.

I remember the scene where Dallas asks about their chances, but I forget what the exact answer was. It was something along the lines of "none".

Emergency Override has something to do with imminent danger to the ship. I remember Ripley having to override something to get the secret orders from the computer. And Ash is leaning right over her shoulder as she's reading it.

Special Order 937 is to secure the alien for the company. Crew expendable.

Ash had a rolled up newspaper and was shoving it into her mouth. I remember it looked like he was pressing against her teeth, such that he was more likely to tear off her jaw than suffocate her. He catches a fire extinguisher upside the head.

Ash is an android.

I forget the final conversation with Ash, but it was along the lines of "you're all going to die".

I think the countdown starts at 45 minutes, and can't be overridden inside the final 15 minutes. She misses the window by 4 seconds or something.

She fires the engines on the escape pod. Which leads me to believe the creature doesn't carry out respiration using atmospheric gasses. Which is pretty strange, because in the second movie, Bishop discusses a polymer coating and the proteins in the creature's biochem. Fanciful biochemistry, at best -- kind of like the Star Trek alien thing based on silicon.
