Alien³

Dillon's glasses disappear after Golic frees the alien.

When doing the autopsy, Clemens' bloodstain frequently changes.

When Murphy finds the alien's shed skin in the pipe, he holds it up and it blows away from the fan.

Mr Clemens also says that the fan was blowing.

However on the close-up shot of the fan, the blade angle and the direction of rotation would mean that the fan would have been sucking like an extractor fan.

The fan should have blown the other way, and there would be no ambiguity over the cause of Murphy's death.

When Dillon and Ripley are luring the alien in to the mold, Morse is in charge of shutting one of the last doors before it kills him.

On slow-mo (DVD) you can quite clearly see, he does not actually hit the button he is aiming for and thus the door would not close.

In the cafeteria, Ripley's glass of orange juice goes from half full to full.

After Morse closes the channel door, trapping the alien in the piston chamber, he hollers "I'm going for the lead!" out of sync with his moving lips.

When we see the EEV crashing into the sea, the water splashes perpendicularly upwards - which would be impossible as there is strong wind blowing which should have blown the water away.

When the EEV report is being made at the beginning of the film, Ripley is listed as "LT.

" - lieutenant.

Yet, Ripley's rank was always a warrant officer, a lower rank than lieutenant (the extended inquest of the Director's Cut makes this clear).

While it's true that Burke promised her that she'd be reinstated as a flight officer, since they never returned to Earth it is unlikely that this occurred, and certainly not at a higher rank than she was prior to her return to LV-426.

When Ripley searches for the alien in the service area you can see an object in the background that looks like an Alien head.

When she crushes it, it's just a curved metal pipe full of bugs.

However, the point of the scene is that she thought it was the Alien.

Early in the film the interior of the EEV is a mess, having been smashed up by the crash.

However, as the movie progresses, it seems to be in a better and better condition and at the end it seems to be almost intact.

However it could be that the interior of the wreckage was cleared up a little by the inmates on Fury 161 when they were removing the bodies of the rest of the crew and possibly looking for salvage.

When Aaron calls for Clemens to come and inspect Murphy's body, he says that the accident happened in Vent Shaft 22.

However, later on when Andrews is briefing the prisoners on what happened, he states that the incident occurred in Vent Shaft 17.

This isn't a bad movie, but it is an unexpected and unneeded twist to a stable storyline. Its important to differentiate an alien movie like this one from one like Alien: Resurrection, which is mediocre verging on bad.

It is peculiar and actually a bit undeserved that this game is listed as a single title here on IMDb, because there were a whopping eight versions released for as many systems. And although there were a lot of similarities between many of those versions, no two were completely the same, and some couldn't be more different from one another.

I just watched this again. I've seen Alien and Aliens countless time, but have only seen Alien 3 once and that was pretty much enough for the last 15 years.

James Cameron showed us everything. Tons of aliens running around in bright light, right in front of the camera, and a giant queen alien to top it off.

You definitely won't hear me say that "Alien³" is better or even on par with its two brilliant predecessors. It's not.

It's a shame they ruined the Alien movie franchise with this third installment. The direction and photography is good (David Fincher), but everything else is pretty awful.

The least successful film in this series was directed by style master (and content-underachiever) David Fincher. Ripley, the only survivor of her past mission, awakens on a prison planet in the far corners of the solar system.

I'm probably a minority of one, but I think this is a great film. I just watched the "Special Edition" from the box set yesterday, and it was like watching a different film to the "Standard Edition".

Though this movie is not necessarily like the first two Alien movies, it stands alone as a great movie that is based on a familiar story. When I first saw it, I must admit that I expected an action-packed ride similar to what James Cameron gave us.
