I own the THX 8760-85 laserdisc of Alien and there’s a line of dialogue which is missing its audio entirely, Ash: “Kane’s son.” I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to check their copy to verify? Thanks!

I don’t have this disc but it’s not hard to believe. Stuff gets lost pretty often when soundtracks are completely remixed. There was an earlier CD version of Ziggy Stardust that is missing something. This seems quite genuinely impossible to overlook on an album so super significant and so totally memorized by millions of fans...but it happened. I can’t remember what it was though, it was something between two songs.

This usually happens because when the original mix was done they did things in the moment that weren’t in the editing script. When the movie is rebuilt again it gets left out. Sometimes when doing your mastering you cheat and go back to the mixing stage and add stuff and it gets forgotten. It could even be missing but that’s less likely I’d say.
