Trivia:
Leland Orser's character is called Larry Purvis in the credits. In the original script, he was supposed to have his last name on his jumpsuit, and Christie calls him by that name. This scene was changed in the final cut, and the only person who ever refers to him as Purvis is Call, when they get ready to put him in the Betty's freezing chamber towards the end of the film. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Ripley undergoes surgery, Gediman cuts her chest below her breasts. Later, Wren checks the scar which appears in the upper section of the chest, between her breasts. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Ripley: [voiceover] My mommy always said there were no monsters. No real ones. But there are.

OK. We've all been frightened to death in our youth with 'ALIEN'. A year or two later we shat our pants once more when Cameron delivered what is probably the best 2nd part sequel ever ('ALIENS'). We then all got more slightly more mature over the years and had different perceptions of Fincher's ALIEN3: some of us thought it too little of a splatter movie while others complained about it's still being a rip-off of the original. Now then, there's no question about us people in the +30 age group, is there? We simply must see ALIEN RESURRECTION, don't we? The whole saga has become part of our personal history and seeing Lt Ripley dealing with Giger's creation makes us feel young again. I'm ever so glad Jean-Pierre Jeunet is a director who, just as the rest of us, has grown from teen to twen to adult with the ALIEN-trilogy's impact on his creative soul. He doesn't copy, he doesn't steal, he doesn't try a rip-off of any kind. Instead, he carries the story further, he introduces tongue-in-cheek-moments while at the same time delivering a true, suspenseful actionmovie that is very well worth seeing. I don't understand the ranting going on on this page. ALIEN RESURRECTION fulfils all expections, both storywise and visually. For an action flick, the cast is beyond criticism. ALIEN RESURRECTION is to be judged for what it wants to be - an entertaining modern fairy tale, a horror action movie, a splatter for the masses. In these categories, it delivers 9 out of 10.
