** He calls ''{{Film/Deadfall}}'' one of the "bottom five" movies he's been involved with.
** He didn't enjoy his work on ''Colonial Marines'' describing his experience as "wasn’t fun at all. I just didn’t really have any fun".
** The erotic thriller ''{{Film/Jade}}'', which he didn't understand, and found the script so confusing he didn't even realise he was the villain in it at first.
** He also regrets how he handled the whole thing of Hicks's death in ''Film/Alien3'', saying had he known the future of director Creator/DavidFincher, he wouldn't have fought so hard for money for the use of a photo in hopes of working with him.
* CreatorChosenCasting:[[invoked]] He was Robert Rodriguez's only choice for Sheriff Hague in ''Film/PlanetTerror''.



* DeletedRole:[[invoked]] He filmed a scene in ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' of Sarah imagining Kyle talking to her that was cut. It appears in the extended version.



* OldShame:[[invoked]]
** He called ''Navy Seals'' "probably the worst experience of my life."
** He lists ''Jade'' - an erotic thriller that he didn't understand while he was shooting it - and ''Deadfall'' - a disaster infamous for Nicolas Cage's hammy performance - in the "bottom five" of movies that he's done.

** He really regrets turning down Kathryn Bigelow's offer to star in ''Film/NearDark'' directly after ''{{Film/Aliens}}'', feeling he didn't appreciate what a good vision she had. Instead he opted to do ''The Seventh Sign'' and ''Rampage'', both of which bombed and killed a lot of momentum for him.

* MoneyDearBoy:[[invoked]]Annoyed at not being included in ''{{Film/Alien3}}'' - and when he saw a dummy of Hicks with its stomach torn open - demanded what equaled his entire salary for ''Aliens'' for one picture of him to appear at the beginning.

Best known for being the go-to guy for Creator/JamesCameron back in the 1980s with ''The Terminator'', ''Aliens'', and ''The Abyss'', Biehn seemed destined for great things following those collaborations, but his career never quite took off and his career became made up of smaller projects and supporting roles in major films, such as his memorable turn as the evil Johnny Ringo in ''Tombstone''.

** The cancelled Alien 5 movie, which would have been a direct sequel to ''{{Film/Aliens}}'' (and therefore retconning Hick's death in ''{{Film/Alien3}}'') would have had Biehn play an aged Dwayne Hicks facing a new Xenomorph outbreak alongside Ripley.

He appeared to be poised for a major comeback when he was considered for the role of Colonel Quaritch in ''Film/{{Avatar}}''. Unfortunately, he was passed over and the role ultimately went to Creator/StephenLang (amusingly, his partner-in-crime in ''Tombstone'').
