Trivia:

Several sounds are intentionally recycled from previous 'Alien' and 'Predator' movies as tribute to those films. These include (but are not limited to): actual Predator (like growls and tracking sounds from the helmet) and Alien noises (like hissing and screeching); the beeping of the motion tracker from Aliens (1986), used in this movie during the opening credits, and as the sound made on the tracking screen showing the bomber heading towards its target; and the computers around Col. Stevens make the same sounds as the Mother computer from Alien (1979). The only original sound that could not be reused was the Predator's characteristic chirruping sound, which was recreated specifically for this movie.

Goofs:

Continuity: Ricky delivers pizza to Jesse's house, 1472. The number on the light post outside when he arrives is 1012. Later in the sewer to find his car keys, the markings show he's underneath the 1400 block of her street.

Quotes:

Buddy Benson: OK, now, take your time. There you go.

Requiem for the Alien Series

I was only fourteen when I first saw the Alien movies and I immediately came to like it. Original, terrifying and classic. Sigourney Weaver was the perfect choice for the female hero character and she would have deserved a statuette for her act. In 1979 something everlasting was born than the immortal series continued with a nothing less legendary movie than the first. Alien3 was a different point of view but I think this part was the most stressful and unique of all, this was my favourite. Unfortunately the last one was a failure in many ways. It was strained, illogical with full of meaningless massacres. I didn't like it at all, but I never thought that a worse part would ever be made in the future. Well as it turned out in 2004 I was wrong. Alien vs. Predator was a bad break, and it should have been directed by a more talented director or should have never been made at all. But when I saw Alien vs Predator Requiem I was totally shocked moreover devastated. When I sat down and decided to watch it with full of doubt, even than I had never thought that such a bad movie could be made. Without a screenplay, without a director and without actors I don't understand how can a film be made. Because this film misses these three terms. What you get is a nice massacre show without a story but with a lot of annoying and boring dialogues. Waste of money and waste of time. This movie is rather impudence, than honor to the fans of the both sides (Alien/Predator). Shame!
