Quotes:

-
Dr. Wren: I think you'll find that things have changed a great deal since your time.
Ripley: Oh, I doubt that.
-
Purvis: God, I am so tired.
Johner: Sleep when you die, man.
-
Elgyn: My authorization code is E-A, T-M, E.
-
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!
-
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.

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.
- Joss Whedon went through five different versions of the final battle with the "Newborn" creature, the first four versions of which all took place on Earth in such settings as a hospital maternity ward, a giant junkyard, a snowy forest and cliffside, and a desert.
- The first draft of the script contained an action sequence that took place in a garden contained within the spaceship "Auriga," with Ripley driving an electrically-powered jeep to avoid aliens attacking from all sides. This was to take place after the scene in the chapel but before the sequence where the Newborn is introduced. The sequence was cut due largely to budget constraints.
- 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.
- 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.
