(1) What year did Alien come out?
(2) What is the name of the spaceship in Alien?
(3) What rank is Ripley?
(4) What is the ship's captain's name?
(5) What is the ship's cat called?

(6) How does Ash describe the atmosphere on LV-426?

(8) What bad news does Ripley learn from Mother?
(9) What is the name of the company that owns the ship?
(10) Once the alien is on the loose, why do the crew decide not to abandon ship?

(1) 1979
(2) The Nostromo
(3) Warrant Officer
(4) Arthur Dallas
(5) Jones

(6) 'Almost primordial... deep cold'. Note that the planet is not named in Alien. It is named as LV-426 in Aliens and the novelisation of Aliens reveals that it is also known as Acheron.
(7) 8
(8) The company already knew about the alien and replaced the previous science officer with Ash and set them up in order to bring it to earth. The crew are expendable.
(9) Weyland-Yutani (Weylan-Yutani in this film, Weyland-Yutani in the rest)
(10) There are 4 left alive and the shuttle will only take 2. (It is revealed elsewhere that the Nostromo had 2 shuttles but 1 was out of order.)

The pass mark is 7. How did you do?
 
I thought the questions were going to be about Mexicans.

I am disappoint.
 
Couldn't remember 3,4, and 6
 
All of them but I'v probably watched it 20+ times.

Cartwright origginally went for the Ripley role before being cast as Lambert, Helen Mirren went for it as well and I spose you can some idea of what she might have been like from 2010.

I got two correct.

I knew that it was released in 1979 and the name of the company was Weyland-Yutani.
 
I only got 4. Shame
