Corrected Ripley's daughter's name in one of the entries.


* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: She's not the original Ripley, her daughter, Jonesy the cat, and anyone the real Ripley was familiar with or knew is dead, but at the end of the film, after more than 200 years of being in space, "Ripley" finally gets the chance to return to Earth. It's also hinted that she'll have a new "family" with the remaining crew of The Betty which will be a new Nostromo for her to captain and in Cal a replacement daughter for both Newt and Amy (her actual daughter who died of old age whilst she was in hypersleep.]]

* ShoutOut: Dom Vriess can be heard whistling the Franchise/{{Popeye}} song.



* SpiritualSuccessor: ''{{Series/Firefly}}'', as pointed out by Michael Marano in the essay ''River Tam and the Weaponized Women of the Whedonverse''. That work and ''Resurrection'' share many character archetypes and plot elements (notably the "Weaponized Woman", in the form of Clone Ripley and River Tam.) It's evident that Joss Whedon had his work on this film in the back of his mind while he was working on ''Firefly''.



* TearJerker: In a scene available on the Special Edition Ripley 8 smiles beatifically when she is shown a picture of a little girl, remembering Newt and her own daughter. The Newborn's anguished pleading to Ripley as it dies is also oddly affecting.

** Whether it's more human or alien, the Newborn at the end viciously averts this. It's first act after being born is ''matricide''. Its second act is to crush a human soldier's head. The only person it doesn't try to hurt is Ripley.
