Quotes:
|
-
Johner: You can't fly one of these things?
Ripley: Are you kidding? This piece of shit is even older than I am.
-
Johner: What a waste of ammo. Must be a chick thing.
-
Johner: Earth, man. What a shithole.
-
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.

Trivia:
|
- 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.
- Jean-Pierre Jeunet wanted to have a scene where a mosquito stings Ripley, then vanishes into smoke because of her acid blood. Eventually, he left the idea after the SFX team told him how much it would cost.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
