Corrected entry: Something to note about the "dog" alien. Not only does it run around on all fours, and as Ripley says "it's different then the others", in one scene it does in fact act like an adolescent dog. I'm not trying to be vulgar or anything like that, but in the scene where they are leading the alien around, it has killed someone. It looks like it's eating that person, but what it's really doing is gyrating...it has mounted the person the same way a young dog will mount a pillow and "go to town."

Alien 3 (1992)
Corrected entry: When the prisoners are being chased by the alien in the corridors, it is seen that it runs much faster than the prisoners, yet can't catch them. Sometimes the alien is shown right behind them but when it switches to the alien's sight, you can see it is further away.
Correction: The Alien also has to navigate a number of bumps and holes and protruding parts of the ceiling, which slow it down considerably. It also has a 'fisheye' type of view, in that it sees things in front of it in a stretched, sort of 'in the fishbowl' manner.

Alien 3 (1992)
Corrected entry: At the end of Aliens Ripley was dressed for sleep in grey, but at the beginning of Alien 3 her clothes are green.
Correction: Her clothes aren't green, they're just soaked after the crash, hence they appear much darker than they actually are.

Alien 3 (1992)
Corrected entry: How come the alien eggs in all the films look different? At least the ones in the first three films should be looking the same since they came from the same queen.
Correction: The eggs in the first film were generations old, preserved by the stasis field in the bottom of the derelict. In Aliens, the eggs are all new, but are still virtually the same. In Alien 3, it is no different, even though we don't see the egg for more than a few seconds. In every movie, the eggs were brown and the same size, and not very different from one another, other than the fact that in Aliens, the eggs had a white slimy substance inside.
Disagree. If you watch Alien and Aliens the size of the eggs AND the facehuggers are definitely different...MUCH larger in Aliens.

Correction: That's not true at all. The alien is eating and ripping at the prisoner. You can see that it's tearing at the prisoner, since the body is flailing as if being mangled. It also isn't remotely close enough to be grinding against the dead body, and a 'making of' feature on the film even states that they had to use the model puppet and add it into the film later to simulate the alien 'eating and tearing at its meal'. The Alien may take on certain characteristics of its prey, but NOT such behaviors.
