Continuity mistake: In the scene where Lex is running in the abandoned whaler camp, the "shield" she is holding keeps changing hand between shots. (01:18:05)
Alien Vs. Predator (2004)
Plot summary
Directed by: Paul W.S. Anderson
Starring: Lance Henriksen, Ewen Bremner, Sanaa Lathan, Colin Salmon, Raoul Bova
A crew of select specialists have been selected to investigate the discovery of a temple underneath an abandoned whaling station. They venture into the temple only to discover after finding alien eggs and advanced weaponry that this temple was used to worship aliens known as predators, who used this temple for hunting different aliens (known as 'aliens'). The crew take the sacred weapons the predators use for the hunt, causing the predators to pursue them. The crew is under the impression that the Predators wish to kill them, though after many members have been killed by aliens and predators they find that the predators required the weapons to survive the hunt and as such were forced to kill to reclaim them.
Sebastian de Rosa: I think this is a manhood ritual. The humaniod ones, they've been sent here to prove that they're worthy to become adults.
Alexa 'Lex' Woods: You're saying, they're, what, teenagers?
Question: This entire expedition is just that, an expedition. It's not a hunt for Aliens or Predators, so why do Max Stafford and his team bring machine guns into the Pyramid? What are they expecting to find that would cause them to shoot? I've never heard of an archaeological team or a drilling team, for that matter, ever having to refer to projectile weaponry during an excavation.

Answer: Remember that they find the pyramid because of detecting a heat source - which implies that there's something down there, either something living or a technological source, that's created that heat, as spontaneous fires are something of a rarity in the Antarctic. Essentially, they have little or no idea what they might encounter down there, so it makes sense to cover all the possible scenarios, including the possibility of encountering a hostile force.
