Continuity mistake: After Rain shoots all the xenomorphs in zero gravity, and she and Andy have to traverse through the floating blood splatter, the bodies of the dead xenomorphs have suddenly disappeared.
Alien: Romulus (2024)
Directed by: Fede Alvarez
Starring: Archie Renaux, Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced
Other mistake: When they raise the temperature of the room with the facehuggers in, once the room is at body temperature, they open the door onto the much colder corridor. This would have immediately dropped the temp in the facehuggers' room.
Continuity mistake: This film takes place after the events of "Alien." At the end of "Alien," the Nostromo is vaporized in a massive nuclear explosion, but in this film, massive chunks of it are found floating in space. Not to mention the fact that even if such giant pieces survived, they would have been propelled outward indefinitely and would not all be floating in the same confined area.
Trivia: When the Xenomorph lands over Kay, director Fede Alvarez asked for a bucket of cold water to be thrown at Isabela Merced to obtain a better scare face. Isabela says she was not informed earlier that they were going to throw cold water on her, so the face you see in that scene is her real face of fright trying to catch air because of how scared she was.
