* PointOfNoReturn: Called the "Point of SAFE Return" in the film, which is really just the same point when viewed from the OTHER side.
-->'''Helicopter pilot:''' Just passed the P.S.R.\\
'''Graeme:''' Oh, damn! I wish I got a picture.\\
'''Lex:''' Of what?\\
'''Graeme:''' Uh, th-the P.S.R. I wish he'd call it out before we passed it.\\
'''Lex:''' ''[laughing]'' The P.S.R. is the "Point of Safe Return". It means we've used up half our fuel so we can't turn back.\\
'''Graeme:''' Right, but if something went wrong, we could uh... land presumably.\\
'''Lex:''' We could ditch.\\
'''Graeme:''' Yeah, ditch.\\
'''Lex:''' But the temperature of the water would kill us in three minutes.

* DecapitationPresentation: In a flashback to previous hunts, a Youngblood warrior is shown with a Xenomorph head on a spear, roaring with victory as a ship flies overhead.



* TheDragon: The "Grid" Xenomorph Drone to the Antarctic Queen as he's by far the most dangerous of the Xenomorphs, second only to the Queen, killing ''two'' of the Predators by himself, and he even manages to evade Scar's Plasma Caster shots when they're aimed right at him while the rest of the Drones were simply mowed down, and he's also the one who leads his siblings in freeing the Queen, and the novelization even refers to him as "the Alpha Xenomorph Drone", implying his higher ranked than the other Drones.

* FaceFullOfAlienWingWong: Being a film that includes Xenomorphs, people getting facehugged is inevitable. Unlike the four alien films, in which one person is visibly facehugged, the AVP films have the highest count of it with five people facehugged in this movie.

The concept was first hinted at in the second ''Predator'' movie, which featured a Xenomorph skull amongst the Predator's trophies. The film was followed by ''Film/AliensVsPredatorRequiem'' in 2007. The movies abandoned the futuristic setting of the comics and had the conflict take place on contemporary Earth. The movies weren't exactly embraced (though the first film was ''slightly'' better received by audiences), even by the fanbase. Most people point to ExecutiveMeddling as the cause of the films' failures.
