Quotes:
|
-
Johner: Right, you're the "new model" droid. You can access the mainframe by remote.
Annalee Call: No, I can't. I burned my modem. We all did.
-
Johner: What a waste of ammo. Must be a chick thing.
-
Purvis: WHAT'S IN F**KING SIDE ME!?!
Ripley: There's a monster in your chest. These guys hijacked your ship, and they sold your cryotube to this... human, and he put an alien inside of you. It's a really nasty one. And in a few hours, it's gonna burst its way through your rib cage, and you're gonna die. Any questions?
Purvis: Who are you?
Ripley: I'm the monster's mother.
-
Johner: You can't fly one of these things?
Ripley: Are you kidding? This piece of s**t is even older than I am.
-
Annalee Call: He is breeding an alien species. More than dangerous. If those things get loose, it's gonna make the Lacerta Plague look like a f**king square dance!

Trivia:
|
- The writer's had to overcome Ripley's death in Alien 3 to allow Sigourney Weaver to return in her role. One of the original renditions of the script has Ripley waking up on the Sulaco and realizing that all the events in Alien 3 were a dream.
- The Auriga interactive computer is named "Father." In the original Alien, the computer's name was "Mother." There are even compatible scenes where people yell at Mother or Father for not responding to them.
- Angelina Jolie was originally approached to play Winona Ryder's role
- Sigourney Weaver actually made the behind-the-back half-court basketball shot on her own, despite the fact that the way the ball disappears off-screen for a split second before going into the basket implies that she had off-screen help. She actually made the basketball shot on only the second take.
- 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.
