Movie Quote Quiz

Murphy: What kind of animal would do this to a dog?

Andrews: This is Rumor Control. Here are the facts.

Andrews: We're 25 prisoners in this facility. All double-Y chromos. All thieves, rapists, murderers, child-molesters. All scum. Just because they have taken on religion doesn't make them any less dangerous. I try not to offend their convictions. I don't want to upset the order. I don't want ripples in the water. And I don't want a woman walking around, giving them ideas.
Ripley: I see. For my own personal safety.
Andrews: Exactly.

Ripley: This is a maximum security prison, and you have no weapons of any kind?
Andrews: We have some carving knives in the abattoir, a few more in the mess hall. Some fire axes scattered about the place - nothing terribly formidable.
Ripley: That's all?
Andrews: We're on the honor system.
Ripley: Then we're fucked.

Ripley: What's this eighty-five thing?
David: Couple of us sneaked a look at his personnel file the day he arrived. That's his IQ.

Kevin: This thing is really pissed off.

Clemens: I'm a doctor. You're the jailer.
Andrews: We both know exactly what you are.

Aaron: Then you've got one inside of you.

Andrews: Listen to me, you piece of shit! You screw with me one more time, I'll cut you in half!
Clemens: I'm sorry, I don't think I understand.

Dillon: I wanna get this thing, and I need you to do it! And if it won't kill you, then maybe that helps us fight it.

Dillon: You're all gonna die. The only question is how you check out. Do you want it on your feet? Or on your fuckin' knees... begging? I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say fuck that thing! Let's fight it.

David: I have a problem with this.
Jude: Which part?
David: The part where we're running around down here in the dark with that fucking thing chasing us.

Boggs: Watch your step, brother.

Frank: Treat a queen like a whore and a whore like a queen. You can't go wrong.

Andrews: I'm afraid we'll have to assume there's a very good chance this simple bastard has murdered them.
Dillon: Now you don't know that! He's never lied to me! He's crazy, he's a fool, but he's not a liar.

Golic: It was a dragon! Feeds on minds. It was - nobody can stop it.

Dillon: Why should we put our ass on the line for you?
Ripley: Your ass is already on the line. The only question is, what're you gonna do about it?

Clemens: That's a bit uncharitable.

David: There's definitely something in here with us.

Continuity mistake: Just after the doctor started the post mortem on that little girl, the front of his gown is covered with blood. Yet, a few seconds later, after the two other guys appear, his gown looks better, with less blood. And during the whole post mortem scene, the blood spot actually changes its size a few times.

Trivia: The film had a notoriously troubled production, with several writers and directors dropping out of the project during development. With a looming release date, sets were built and a crew was assembled before a script was even settled on, and the final draft had to be written around the sets that had already been built. David Fincher, then a popular music video and commercial director, was chosen to helm the film, but he had nonstop creative difficulties with the producers and studios. He has since gone on to disown the film, as he feels it isn't reflective of his vision.

More trivia for Alien 3

Question: In the scene where Ripley is describing the new Alien, she says it 'moves different to the other ones'. I could never get a good enough look at the alien to understand what she meant. What did she mean and why does it move differently?

Answer: She means that the alien it moves on 4 legs, whereas the other aliens moved primarily on two legs. This alien came out of a dog in the theatrical version and from an ox in the Assembly cut version, which can only move on 4 legs. This hints to the fact that the alien inherits the characteristics of its host.
