 A scene on the colony before the alien infestation was deleted from  the final cut. Elements of that scene show up in later  James Cameron (I) (qv) projects. The line, "... and we always get  the same answer: Dont ask" was used in  _Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)_ (qv). The character name  "Lydecker" was used in _"Dark Angel" (2000)_ (qv).
