More quotes from Alita: Battle Angel

Trivia: The original manga was released in western territories as "Battle Angel Alita." The title of the film swapped the words around so they read "Alita: Battle Angel." Producer James Cameron reportedly did this because he felt it sounded more dramatic and also because they could then use the "Alita" name for potential sequels. (Ex. He mentioned a sequel could be called "Alita: Fallen Angel" or "Alita: Avenging Angel.") A producer attached to the film also half-jokingly suggested that Cameron swapped the words around because almost all of his films have titles that begin with either "A" or "T."
