Goofs
The time-frame for the Alien life-cycle(facehugger->chestburster->warrior) is made to seem like mere minutes in accordance with Sebastian's time-theory(10 minutes). From the other Alien movies, the same life-cycle can take hours or even days to complete. See more »

Crazy Credits
Since the film has no opening credits, the end credits begin with an extended primary credits sequence. This sequence is shown over close-ups of various aspects of the Predator pyramid interior. See more »
Alternate Versions
The original DVD had an additional deleted sequence: It shows a whaling station in 1904, and a whaler is being chased. He enters a building and tries to hide. As the camera cuts to the "Predator vision" though, it is clear that the hunter is chasing an Alien in the same room, which lunges at the camera. This sequence is approx. 1 min. 30 sec. in duration and now included in the 'Unrated Edition'. See more »
Another great movie spoiled by bad initial critique. And most people jumping on the bandwagon. They moved production of this movie out of Hollywood and lots of people virtually lost jobs to some east European studios where they shot most of the scenes. Lots of anger was present in Hollywood about this, no surprise that initial reviews were strictly negative. This movie is superb in nearly all aspects I watched it more times then all the prequels combined. I like the lead actress and Henriksen as Bishop Weyland, some crew man are actually more interesting then the crew in some Alien prequels, and of course the CGI is finally watchable and say state of the art, not some lame blinking LEDs all over.
