-
Elgyn: My authorization code is E-A, T-M, E.
-
[When the Alien "baby" emerges from the Queen's womb]
Dr. Gediman: You are... a beautiful, beautiful, little butterfly.
-
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 f**k!
-
Johner: Hey, Vriess, you got a socket wrench? Maybe she just needs an oil change. Can't believe I almost f**ked it.
Vriess: Yeah, like you never f**ked a robot.
-
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?

Trivia:
|
- Actor Ron Perlman nearly drowned while filming the underwater sequence. At one point, when trying to surface, he hit his head on a sprinkler in the ceiling, knocking him out cold. He was rescued by nearby film crew members.
- Angelina Jolie was originally approached to play Winona Ryder's role
- Originally, the fourth alien movie was to be a rendition of the popular comic Aliens Vs. Predator.
- 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.
- 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.
