Trivia:
|
- Leland Orser has "Crazed convulsions" when the Alien is about to burst out of his chest, similar to what his characters portrayed in Se7en and Resurrection.
- In the theatrical release, H.R. Giger is not credited for his part in the design of the Aliens. The video release has his name in the closing credits.
- Originally, the fourth alien movie was to be a rendition of the popular comic Aliens Vs. Predator.
- Jean-Pierre Jeunet wanted to have a scene where a mosquito stings Ripley, then vanishes into smoke because of her acid blood. Eventually, he left the idea after the SFX team told him how much it would cost.
- Writer Joss Wheadon wrote Christie's character with Chow Yun-Fat in mind. Chow Yun-Fat's manager and producer Terence Chang turned down the role for him.
