Quotes:
|
-
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.
-
Ripley: Does it grow?
Dr. Gediman: Yeah. Very rapidly.
Ripley: It's a queen.
Dr. Gediman: How did you know that?
Ripley: She'll breed. You'll die. Everyone in the company will die.
-
Elgyn: She is severely fuckable, isn't she?
-
[When the Betty hits Earth's atmosphere]
Johner: What's burning, man?!
Vriess: Us!
Johner: Shit! You're right!
-
Johner: So, I hear you, like, ran into these things before?
Ripley: Yeah.
Johner: What did you do?
Ripley: I died.

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