Awesome / Alien: Resurrection

• Disposing of the Newborn via a hole in the spacecraft window and vacuum pressure effects.
• Purvis killing Wren with his own chestburster.
• More of a behind-the-scenes version of this, but when Ripley 8 threw the basketball over her shoulder and scored a perfect hoop? No tricks, Sigourney Weaver actually pulled that off! The quick cut away was done because Ron Perlman broke character and said "Holy shit!" in amazement.
  • Sigourney Weaver says she regards making that basket as her own personal Crowning Moment of Awesome... well, after her wedding and the births of her children, anyway.
• "Father's dead, asshole!"
• The alien in the ice spray room. It learns, after one go, that the ice sprayer is triggered by the button. It not only learns to stop acting up when the hand is hovering over the button, but it also realizes when the positions are reversed, that it can do the same. This is the first time we are shown just how smart these creatures are.
• Christie with his ricocheting shots. First time we see him do this, he took out a soldier who has him at point-blank gunpoint, hitting him upside the head. The other time he did it underwater with an exploding round to take out a roomful of alien eggs.
• Johner taking out a xenomorph who chased them while climbing a ladder by letting go, leans back hanging by his knees, and shooting at it with two guns until he hits its head with an explosive bullet.
• Ripley herself. Sigourney Weaver seems to be having an absolute blast playing this alternatively snarky/creepy version of Ripley, and she's getting to play an ultra-survivalist version of Ripley with superhuman strength and healing abilities to boot.
