    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      Doctor Gediman and Ripley both refer to the planet on which the original Ripley died as "Fury Sixteen". However, the planet they are referring to, from Alien³ (1992), was actually "Fury 161".
    • Quotes

      Johner: Hey, Ripley. I heard you, like, ran into these things before?

      Ripley: That's right.

      Ripley: I died.

    8/10
    Action packed n much better than part 3.
    I first saw this in the late 90s.

    Revisited all the four parts in the early 2k on dvds which i own.

    Revisited this part (116 mins special edition/DC version) few days back as i am on Alien movie marathon n very impatient to check out Prometheus n Covenant.

    This movie has lots of action and that too very bloody.

    The underwater scene is amazingly shot n it is creepy to see the Aliens swimming.

    The clone lab scene is terrifying.

    The ending is a bit lol with the decompression stuff and all and that too the Alien baby crying , "oh no".

    It has a bloody head smashing a la watermelon bursting scene and once again our android is back.
