Sigourney Weaver Reveals That Iconic Line from "Aliens" Didn't Come Easy

Let's revisit the legendary line that graced one of the greatest sci-fi action films of all time. Why did the actress herself hate it?

As People reports, the star of James Cameron's film was unhappy for a long time with how she delivered one of the movie's most iconic lines. At New York Comic Con, recalled the moment when her character prepares to fight the xenomorph queen to save the little girl Newt. That's when Ellen Ripley delivers the line: "Get away from her, you bitch!"

According to Weaver, filming the scene was incredibly challenging, making it impossible to record multiple takes. She basically had just a couple of attempts to nail the line. And naturally, that's when the actress flubbed it: instead of lowering her voice at the end, she raised it. The zoomboola.com editorial team wants to point out that the film's director was happy with the result, even though Sigourney wasn't. In the end, the line became a genuine meme, and the role in "Aliens" earned Weaver an Oscar nomination.
