Quotes:

-
Johner: Earth, man. What a shithole.
-
Elgyn: My authorization code is E-A, T-M, E.
-
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?
-
Annalee Call: Jesus Christ, Johner, what do you put in this shit, battery acid?
Johner: Just for color.
-
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.

Trivia:
|
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
