Quotes:
|
-
Elgyn: She is severely fuckable, isn't she?
-
Purvis: WHAT'S IN FUCKING 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.
-
[When the Betty hits Earth's atmosphere]
Johner: What's burning, man?!
Vriess: Us!
Johner: Shit! You're right!
-
Ripley: Who do I have to fuck to get off this boat?
Johner: I can get you off. Maybe not the boat.
-
Johner: What a waste of ammo. Must be a chick thing.

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