Ripley: Who do I have to f**k to get off this boat?
Johner: I can get you off. Maybe not the boat.
-
[When the Betty hits Earth's atmosphere]
Johner: What's burning, man?!
Vriess: Us!
Johner: S**t! You're right!
-
Johner: What a waste of ammo. Must be a chick thing.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Originally, the fourth alien movie was to be a rendition of the popular comic Aliens Vs. Predator.
