FAQ

There are a total of six returning cast members from the first Scream, four of which are survivors of Ghost Face's attacks: David Arquette (Dewey Riley), Neve Campbell (Sidney Prescott), Courtney Cox (Gale Weathers) and Jamie Kennedy (Randy Meeks). Liev Schreiber (Cotton Weary) also appears briefly in Scream (1996), and because of his importance in the sequels, he is honored in a screen-credit at the end. In addition, Matthew Lillard appears as an extra in one of the party scenes. He is not reprising his role, as his character, Stu, died in the first film.

The line in Aliens is "Get away from her, you bitch." So, yes, in the movie, Randy Meeks is wrong. However, it was scripted that Joshua Jackson's character, a film student, was supposed to say, "Stay away from her, you bitch", and Randy would correct him. When Joshua Jackson said the line right (instead of wrong, like in the script), Jamie Kennedy (Randy Meeks) switched the lines to keep the flow of the scene going. Why the film's director, Wes Craven, kept this take is unknown. In terms of the film, it could be said that Randy was trying to be ironic by incorrectly correcting him.
