Quotes:
|
-
Ripley: Who do I have to fuck to get off this boat?
Johner: I can get you off. Maybe not the boat.
-
Johner: Don't push me, little Call. If you hang with us for a while, you'll find out I am not the man with whom to fuck!
-
Ripley: Why do you care about them?
Annalee Call: Because I'm programmed to.
Ripley: You're programmed to be an asshole? You're the "new model" asshole they're putting out?
-
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.
-
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.

Trivia:
|
- The androids' names in the alien films follow a pattern-in alien, the name is Ash; in aliens it's Bishop; and the third android in alien resurrection is Call - (abc).
- Originally, the fourth alien movie was to be a rendition of the popular comic Aliens Vs. Predator.
- 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 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.
- 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.
