Annalee Call: Jesus Christ, Johner, what do you put in this s**t, battery acid?
Johner: Just for color.

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.
- Actor Ron Perlman nearly drowned while filming the underwater sequence. At one point, when trying to surface, he hit his head on a sprinkler in the ceiling, knocking him out cold. He was rescued by nearby film crew members.
- 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.
- Nigel Phelps based the design of the spaceship "Betty" on a jackhammer. The "Auriga" was originally to be a vertical structure, but he abandoned this idea once he realized the difficulty of capturing the scope of such a ship design on film.
