  • Sigourney Weaver had received two weeks of basketball training. When shooting the basketball scene, Rene wanted to shoot the basketball falling into the rim, because he thought Weaver would need to retake hundreds of times to make a shot, but Weaver insisted on completing it in person. During the shooting, he hit a hit from 6 feet away from the three-point line. The cast and crew present were all surprised, but René was worried that the audience would not believe it. Weaver later described this shot as the most wonderful moment in her life.

    It's basically the alien version of "Mom Loves Me Again"... I am completely speechless about the French movie style on the screen, the ultra-small and fresh shooting techniques, and the cute alien son, thinking that it is time to end it. Although these 200 years have not affected the development of the plot, I always feel that the variant completely overturned the first statement that aliens are pure and unfettered by conscience, morality and compassion. In short, the style changes too much, I don't like it.

    Winona's dazzling beauty made me unable to concentrate on watching the plot; Newborn's watery, flashing eyes were really a big killer, and finally died in the hands of my grandmother. Sure enough, eyes are the windows to the soul.

  • [the Newborn Alien slowly dies by being sucked out of the Betty and into space]

    Ripley: [tearfully] I'm sorry.
